Vendor profile:

Our seller Dermot Rooney owns the Veaghmore Simmentals herd located at the foot of the Mourne Mountain overlooking the Irish Sea in picturesque Co Down. The herd was established in 2007 initially using Simmental bulls on the commercial herd but has since converted to a full herd of pedigree females. To lay the foundation for the Veaghmore herd, females were purchased from some of the top herds including Ranfurly, Rathnashan, Knockreagh, Bannhill farm and Kilbride farm. The herd has also changed to 100% A’I to give the chance to widen the breeding lines and cross the best bulls available with our females. Veaghmore herd aims to breed a good powerful Simmental that will go on and breed well for many a year. They are members of the AFBI Herd scheme.
