The National Hall of Fame Awards acknowledges persons in the Bovine, Equine and Ovine industries in Ireland who have given their lifetime breeding, showing, adjudicating and promoting their various breeds. Each breed society and fellow breeders nominates a person, who in their opinion, is deserving of such an award.
