We are very grateful for the generosity already shown by farmers with donations of livestock and we call out again asking for anyone willing to donate livestock to get in touch with us.
“We also call on everyone to show up on the night of the auction to place their bids on the livestock in support of this very worthy cause.”

All money raised for this cause will go towards Cancer Care West projects in Co. Donegal.
