AVERAGE PRICE OF HEREFORD BULLS AT BANDON INCREASE BY €460 ON 2014
APRIL 2, 2015 IRISHHEREFORDSOCIETY


The Hereford show and sale of Hereford bulls at Bandon this week had one of the largest crowds ever in attendance. This is a strong indication of the interest in Herefords in the region which was reinforced by the clearance of bulls later with just three bulls failing to reach their reserve.

Sale topper Arlinstown Star 4th with owner Declan Murphy and purchaser John Dunne, Ladysbridge. €3,400
The sale topper at €3,400 Arlinstown Star 4th is a son of Australian sire Yarram Star General W251 a sire with a five star rating for both terminal and maternal traits whose semen is regrettably no longer available. Out of a home bred dam Arlinstown Helen 5th this useful bull was exhibited by Declan Murphy, Arlinstown, Ballinhassig. The herd was founded and managed very successfully for many years by Declan’s uncle the late Gerry Murphy. This long very useful bull was purchased by extensive dairy farmer John Dunne, Ladysbridge who brings all progeny to slaughter for the Hereford branded beef schemes.

Other principal prices included Droumdaniel Johnny the youngest bull in the sale at sixteen months sired by Allowdale Excellent a Mawarra Sentimental son shown by Gene Lynch, Droumdaniel, Bantry at €2,850. John Cronin, Mourneabbey, Mallow received €2,800 for his Clyde Knight a Bowmont Storm A584 son out of Allowdale Laura by Border General V25. Kieran Noonan, Tullylease, Charleville exhibited Double Tree Ivan an Ardlahan Ginger son out of Clondrina 646th which sold at €2,700.

Overall this is a very welcome result for Herefords at Bandon with such an effective clearance, an increase of€460 on the average price there last spring. Hereford cross calves at the venue are enjoying excellent demand with a top price of €525 for a five week old bull calf on the Monday prior to the bull sale.
