‘Attaboy’ was Junior and Supreme Champion at Perth February 2007 and sold for the top price of 32 000gns, which is a Record Price for a Bull of any breed to be sold from Northern Ireland. He sold to Balmyle, Cardean and Newhouse herds who have a combined total of 160 cows. Described by judge Cyril Millar as “a bull with that something extra. He has great stature, length and presence, with potential to further develop his tremendous loin and hind quarter muscling.” While Mr. Ivory of Cardean said “Attaboy was the best bull entered for sale and we were determined to take him home between us. He is very natural. He has length and shape, is clean through the middle and should leave the type of calves that are in demand.” Qualified as a BQI Elite Sire he was in the top 1% for Muscle Score. Sired by Allanfauld Superscot purchased for 14 000gns at Perth February 2003 who had sired Sons to 15 000gns and Females to 8000gns. His dam Solitude Una was sired by Oscar and out of a Killadeas Jack cow. She is the best female we have bred to date. |
