Doesn't seem to be.

Prices now up on Twitter. Not bad by the look of things.
Anyone go?

Any link to prices? I was hoping to go as that man bred our bull although we didn’t buy him directly off him. End up had to stay at home to calve a monster shorthorn calf

Anyone going to the Millburn / Royal County sale tomorrow in Elphin mart.
What exactly is the procedure for tomorrow? From the Limousin website it all seems to be about bidding online. Can you just go and bid ringside? Anyone know?

I'd say ringside numbers are limited, either by pre registering or first come first served

It's a shame. You can't buy these type of animals without seeing in the flesh.

Think there was viewing today from like 2 till 7

Anyone watching. Complete madness. €7 and €8k no bother.

Where can you watch this sale?

Shur, I was clicking like mad and kept getting 'Access for bidding has been denied'.

Anyone know what lot 20 went? I think it was a heifer

She only made €17,000. All the prices and videos are up on the Limousin Twitter.

500 quid for a blink holy Lord

Was following along to it on Twitter and looked at the catalogue beforehand, good breeding in that Millburn herd but 20K for a young heifer seems outrageous to me, was she that exceptional?

Bought a few straw's online. The animals looked to be exceptional. Really top drawer stock. So you can imagine how good his best were. Years of breeding. I picked up a few old straw's,
TON, Litron. Easy calving, maternal bull.
BHY, Barnhill Harry, born in 1992. He's the milbourn herds foundation cow Lola's sire.
MUC, Mas du clo.
He sold up because he isn't getting any younger and son has a good job etc. No point in putting himself under too much pressure. The big Laois herd that's getting out is going to dairy.

The Limousin society still have MUC straws. At least they had on the last newsletter, May 2019.

Not any more unfortunately. He's the type of bull lads love or hate. I like the power he breed's if he's put to a raw milky cow. I bought a good few bavardage a few years ago for 70 I think. I see some made 200/250 Saturday.

�� Saw that, she'd be value at that to flush and sell embryos for a thousand a pop.

How does the whole embryo thing work? If the pregnancy doesn't hold, are you down a €1,000 ?
