Grassland walk certainly gave me plenty to chew on

Preparations for the mating season are well under way

The last number of weeks have been a busy period on the farm. The Mayo Mule and Greyface group is celebrating its 30th year and to mark this occasion the group held a breeding exhibition at Ballinrobe racecourse.

It was a demonstration of the group's stock, how it's bred and how the breed has developed over the years. The premier Mayo Mule and Greyface sale will be held in Ballinrobe on Friday, August 29.
