About the Cladoir Sheep Breed
The Cladóir is believed to be the
remnant of the old sheep breed from the Connemara Hills. After the Farmine, the Cladóir breed survived in very small flocks on the very long shoreline in South Connemara, eventually being displaced by imports of cheviot & blackfaced sheep.
