The Red Ribbon & Blue Ribbon sale Sat 23rd April (Archived #270934)

Shankhill Ronaldo displays great attributes of the breed. He is a deep, long, stylish bull, with fantastic confirmation and balance, excellent legs & feet and displays a great length, depth and topline. He is easy fleshing and a real eye-catcher with his presence although he is extremely docile. He was 1st in the junior bull class, 1st in the pairs class and reserve male champion (as the 2nd youngest calf at the show) at the November NI Beef Shorthorn Calf Show. 

His Dam KILBEAGH SILVER MAJORETT is a real blueprint of the Beef Shorthorn breed and is sired by the excellent Creaga Dice. She is a lovely roan, soft fleshed, a deep square cow with excellent confirmation and docility.

His Sire HUSSAR OF UPSALL is sired by the Australian bull Broughton Park Thunder and bred from a Cougar of Upsall sired dam. Hussar is a polled bull and excels in maternal traits. His Replacement Index of €171 places him in the top 1% of all breeds on the Irish Indexes. His Milk figure is +18.7 KG, and the all breed Milk index average is 2.29 KG. Hussar is 5 Star Within breed for Replacement Index, Carcass Weight and Daughter Milk, and 4 Star Within Breed for Terminal Index, Dairy/Beef Index.

This young bull has a tremendous pedigree and will make an excellent stock bull in any pedigree herd. Note from video footage! see the squareness with fabulous plates, his only just a year old and will get better and better, bid fast and bid to buy. Just like the Ronaldo's, this Ronaldo is a game-changer out of a daughter of Creaga Dice and possible out-cross breeding for many.

Vendor Profile:

Shankhill Beef Shorthorn herd was established in 2017 with the purchase of top breeding females from the Uppermill & Bushypark herd and the use of proven AI Sires with our cows & heifers has continued to grow the herd successfully. We focus our breeding programme to ensure our males have power, milk, performance, style and beef characteristics. All our cattle are naturally grown on a low input system from heavier pastures in upland farm conditions.
