The responsibility for the accuracy of the information therefore rests solely with the breeder and not Sheep Ireland. Sheep Ireland €uroStars How to select a ram fit for purpose? Evaluations should never be the only tool you use when selecting animals for breeding. Animals must also be examined to ensure the animal is also physically correct; an animal that is not physically correct (ie. mouth, feet, etc.) cannot compensate for this fault regardless of its evaluation and should be avoided for breeding purposes. €uroStars – How to interpret them · Each star represents where the animal ranks on each index in 20% bounds · One star represents the bottom 20% of the breed for that trait · Five star represents the top 20% of the breed for that trait · The higher the stars, the higher the predicted profitability of that animal Animals that only have the outline of a star represent animals that have within flock evaluations, this means the star rating of these animals can not be compared to any other animals from a different flock. Rank · This figure indicates more precisely where the animals rank within the breed. eg. Top 11% (see example below) · This is displayed with the black pointer, the further to the right these are on the scale, the better its position with the breed. Acc % (Accuracy%) · This figure is very important as it represents the amount of data behind each evaluation. Where Acc is low, much less emphasis should be placed on the evaluation, and vice versa. · This is displayed with the grey pointer, the further to the right these are on the scale, the more information this evaluation is based on. e.g. Acc 43% (see example on previous page) Acc % parameters V.Poor, 0% - 14% Poor, 15% - 24% Fair, 25% - 34% Good, 35% - 49% V.Good, 50% and abov Indexes & Traits 1) Replacement (€1.126) – If a farmer desires a ram to breed both lambs both for slaughter and replacement ewe lambs then they should select a ram based on this index. The bulk of this index is a combination of Lamb Survivability, Days to Slaughter, No. of lambs born & Daughters milk. The € value beside the index represents the difference in profit that each lamb sired from this ram will have. 2) Terminal (€0.542) – If a farmer desires a ram to breed only lambs for slaughter then they should select a ram based on this index. The bulk of this index is a combination of Lamb Survivability and Days to Slaughter. The € value beside the index represents the difference in profit that each lamb sired from this ram will have. 3) Lamb Survivability – This ranks animals based on lambing ease and lamb survival rate. Every positive % point on this index is an extra lamb surviving to 40 days and vice versa. 4) Days to Slaughter – This ranks animals on their genetic ability to grow. The index associated with this trait represents the difference in the predicted number of days required for the progeny of this ram to reach the desired slaughtered weight compared with other animals of the same breed. 5) No. of Lambs Born – This ranks animals based on the predicted prolificacy of the females from this animal compared with other animals of the same breed. 6) Daughters Milk – This ranks animals based on the predicted milking performance of their daughters compared with other animals of the same breed.

The oldest City in England lis London. London was largely carved out of the oldest county in England, Kent, and we have records of Wilkinsons in Kent as early as the ye~r 650 A. D. The Durham Wilkinsons were a branch of the Kentish family. If you will look at the map of England you will see that Durha1n is in the_ N. E~, not far from the Scutch border, and that whole border­ land was simply one seething hell for hundreds of years due to the various Wars and Raids that continued for at least 500 years, and did not come to an end unti! M'arie Stuart's son who became King of Scotland, was made King of England because of his Tudor Grand­ mother,. who was the sister to Henry VIII. Due to this border warfare, thousands of sturdy Scots and English moved into Ulster, north Ireland, where they were joined by ho1·des of French Huguenots. Londonderry was the Protestant Capitol of the World for many years, and if it had not been for the Battle of the Boyne, fought near Londonderry, when the entire Stuart (or Catholic Army) was defeated by the Protestant Armies variou::;ly led by Huguenots, English, Scots and the like under the general leadership of King William III ( then King on the English throne and himself the Prince of Orange), they would be living there now.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.
