Bridgemount Leo sold for €3,100. \ Alfie Shaw
Following a recent trend in bull sales across the country, numbers forward for the Irish Simmental cattle society bull sale in Tullamore were well back.
With a number of heavy-hitting bulls absent, quality was described by many as average at best. The average sale price of €2,410 with clearance at 65% reflected this.
That said, €3,000 or more was hit on four occasions, with the top price of €3,100 hit twice.
First at the money was the first lot through the ring, Bridgemount Leo. Bred and exhibited by William O’Riordan from Rathcormac, Co Cork, this October 2019-born bull is a son of Lis-Na-Ri Gucci.
