A Donegal man has sold a ram for €44,000 - the largest amount ever paid for a male sheep at a sale in Ireland.
The record-breaking ram turned heads when it went on sale in Blessington Mart in Wicklow.
The seven-month-old Suffolk ram was sold by Richard Thompson, a farmer from Ballybofey in Co Donegal.
A consortium led by Dennis Taylor, a farmer from Coleraine in Northern Ireland, paid the record price.
