    Personally I would go for an easy calving, high muscle, average or slightly below average skeleton, high docility limousin bull.

    we killed a couple of heifers out of our fr and mox cows, they were only about 17 months old and would have been ideal feeding cattle, however I reckon they made about €80 more than in the marts.

    no doubt more members on here will tell you different, any how good luck with whatever you decide.

    There was alovely Angus Bull at the sales in Carrick on Shannon last week that was unsold

    He was the Reserve Champion

    Great tall young bull with a great top

    Ideal bull for new grading regime

    Im Sure he is from the Leitrim area magowan auctioneers would have details in Mohill
