‘Dynamite’ was Supreme Champion at the Royal Ulster 2009, with judge Gerald Blandford describing him as the “ideal Herford Bull”. He also has been competing well in Interbreed competitions, being Overall Interbreed Champion at Saintfield Show. He was the N.I. Bull of the Year 2008; the highlight of his show season coming at the N.I National where he was Supreme Champion. The judge John Holloway commented; “for his age, you would not see a bull as good anywhere in the world”. His show career began at the National 2007 when he was Calf Champion, which was followed by the Championship at the N.I. Calf Show two weeks later. He was then Junior Champion at the Royal Ulster 2008 weighing 980kgs at 20 months and picked up a number of Championships at other shows before his success at the National 2008. ‘Dynamite’ is also backed by impressive EBV’s. His dam ‘Dainty U10’ has everything we look for in a female.
