Agree wi @brigadoon esp the hairy lugs. On the size side there are different types of luings as in size. In Scotland generally your Highlands and Islands have a more compact cows and you central and lowland herds are bigger cows (generally speaking.)
I would also add the calves can grow like stink on not alot.

I agree with this..
Great cattle to work with. Get back in calf on rough going.
Ours aren't so big.

can be difficult if trying to creep feed calves because the cows are small and can sqeeze in

You could try John Scott at Fearn Farm. He might have something. @Jim75 ??
Not sure how easy to move them to Co Tyrone though - is that even possible post Brexit?

My first heifers that are fit to go will be luing cross. Only handy weight tho, but not eaten much

Never had any issues with Luings getting into creeps - Dexters yes - but not luings or Angus

We have been keeping Luing for 8 years now and my only regret is that I did not get into them sooner.
What a breed, calve at 2 years old, wide pelvis, quiet temperament,bullocks 600 kilos at 18-19 months.

Heifers for sale 20th of January alongside the bulls. I’ll be honest I’m not sure but think majority will be shorthorn, usually sells some luings off farm anyway.
Not sure need do some homework
