Sale topper Kilduff Rockstar sold for €11,200.
It was a a day of dreams for one Cavan family as the Irish Charolais cattle society hosted the last of its spring 2021 sales in Tullamore over the weekend.
The Dunne family of Robert, James and Zara exhibited three bulls from their Kilduff herd making an impressive average price of just shy of €7,500.
These prices were led by a call of €11,200 for the sale topping Kilduff Rockstar. This powerful 13-month-old bull had been ticked off in a number of buyers catalogues, and after heated bidding was eventually knocked down to Claire Ferris and Peter McCague from Co Down. Sired by the famous Doonally New, Rockstar is out of a Pirate dam that goes back to Kilduff Tazmin. Carrying five stars on all the terminal traits, the powerful young bull carried one copy each of the Q204X and F94L genes.
