5 Nations Native Breed Sale - March 18th 2022 (Archived #246686)

Our Sellers, Gordan & William Burleigh farm at 900ft above sea level, on-mountain type ground, located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The farm has been passed down through the generations and family-owned for over 100 years. William was attracted to the Shorthorn breed firstly for its Docility, along with eye appeal through the combination of great markings from its progeny when used over commercial or within the shorthorn breed. 

Sale bull, Aghalun Mace is a three-year-old bull we purchased from the Aghalun herd as a weanling, now weighing approx 930kg without any meal. Mace has been used in our herd with the 3rd crop of calves due this spring he is proven to be very easy calving as we have used him on heifers, and he has bred incredibly well. Mace is a long natural easy fleshing bull, very correct on his feet and has never been clipped. His progeny are soft easy fleshing and can be seen on the farm. His bloodline is a mixture of Irish & UK breeding with Chapelton & Glenisla sires in the mix. Mace has produced fantastic coloured calves, with plenty of breed character & style. Don't hesitate to take a second look at Mace who we believe is suitable for Pedigree or Commercial breeding.
