About Galway

The Galway sheep is a breed of domestic sheep originating in County Galway, in the west of Ireland, based on the earlier Roscommon sheep of neighbouring County Roscommon. They are a large, polled, white-faced sheep, having a characteristic bob of wool on the head and legs. The outer lips are of a dark colour and dark spots on the ears are common. The average litter size is 1.45 in pedigree flocks. While a major proportion of ewes within the bred weigh 80–85 kg and have a litter size of 1.3, there is wide variation to be found. This breed is primarily raised for meat.
