All roads lead to Carnaross Mart on Saturday 27 December for the North East Irish Texel Club’s Twilight in-lamb sale.
The sale is set to kick off at 6pm, with viewing from 4pm.
A total of 64 in-lamb pedigree-registered Texel hoggets will be on offer, as well as a pedigree Texel ewe lamb for charity.
The sale will again include ewes with pedigrees containing some of the leading genetics within the Texel breed in both Ireland and the UK. Some of the top performing sheep at both shows and sales in the past year came from flocks which are exhibiting at this sale.

A high percentage of the sheep entered in the sale have been fully €uro-Star evaluated with Sheep Ireland, with some of the highest ranked females in the Country included in the sale.
All sheep shall have their € uro-Star evaluations displayed in the catalogue.
As well as this, a large selection of the females have €uro-Star evaluations that equal or exceed the threshold for the Sheep Improvement Scheme (SIS).
On top of this, all service sires are DNA verified so that all off-spring from the sale ewes can be sire-verified.
Charity lot
This year’s sale will include a charity lot kindly donated by Michael and John Donohoe of the Crosserlough Texel Flock.
A daughter of Drumderg Fancy Pants, this Texel ewe lamb is out of a Kilduff ewe by Mullan Escobar.
