‘Dynamite’ is 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”, this was particularly pleasing for us to hear as Mr Holloway has travelled throughout the world looking at Herefords for many years including this years World Hereford Conference and he is part of the Irish Hereford Breeders society bull buyers panel. ‘Dynamite’ was also part of the first placed group of three alongside two ‘Vindicator’ daughters, ‘Stella C16’ & ‘Pansy D3’. and continued his record of never being beaten in pairs competition when shown. His show career began at the National last year 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 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.

‘E5’ was Calf Champion at the National 2008 where she attracted a lot of positive comments from fellow breeders. We have kept all four daughters out of her dam ‘S35’ and they are breeding well. Expert was winner of the Autumn born bull class and was Reserve Calf Champion to ‘E5’. He also won his class at the calf show. He is sired by ‘Ultimate’ and out of a Magistrate cow who had bred the Calf Champion at the National 2004. ‘E4’ was Female Champion at the Calf Show 2008. She is sired by ‘Alexander’ and is out of our first calved Vindicator daughter, ‘Starlet C3’ who calved at two years old. |
