The Galway Sheep Breeders Association was established in 1923. The Association was founded to encourage the breeding and conservation of Galway Sheep and to maintain the Sheep as a pure breed.The Galway is Ireland's only native Sheep breed and deserves to be conserved for Historical, Scientific, Cultural and Agricultural reasons. The Breed has been granted Rare Breed Status and receives financial support under Reps IV.

The Association has presently in excess of 70 members but some are not active breeders for various reasons. We welcome new breeders who are committed to the task.
