Sheep roaming on Achill Island
Sheep roaming on Achill Island
Sheep breeds kept on the hill areas are a hardier type of sheep more suitable to the tough conditions. This picture was taken on Achill island, off the coast of Co Mayo. Sheep wander the roads as they graze commonage land shared by multiple farmers. Each farmer makes their own sheep with a distinctive colour and sheepdogs are essential in order to gather the sheep for management tasks. Sheep farmers in some mountain regions now market their distinctive lamb direct to consumers (www.ringofkerryqualitylamb.ie and www.connemarahilllamb.ie)

Members of the Grand Jury were selected by the High Sheriff from the leading property owners in the county. In this cover detail from Grand Jury Presentments for 1860 we can see several well-known names from the landed gentry of County Carlow.
