RECORD €20,000 FOR SIMMENTAL BULL
The Simmental Breed in Ireland saw a new record price of €20,000 paid for a 10-month-old bull at Roscommon on Saturday last. "Curaheen Tyson" bred and sold by David Wall from Newcastle Co. Dublin was the January Champion on Saturday and was also the National Calf Champion at Strokestown earlier in the year. "Tyson" is sired by the well known sire "Hillcrest Champion" and is out of a "Raceview King" bred dam. When auctioneer Tom Cox dropper his hammer a joint partnership between Angela & Gerard Brickley (Celtic Simmentals) & Martin & Mary Regan (Corrib Simmentals) had outbid opposition from both N. Ireland and Scotland. When asked afterwards about the bull, Gerard explained that "604kgs at 8 months - a phenomenal weight and for a bull that had enough quality to win the All-Ireland" attracted him to the bull. The new owner's plans to collect semen for sale as well as use the bull on both herds.
