The Hilary line was introduced in 2005 with the purchase of a 2 week old calf, Milton Senhorita (Spot) with her recipient mother for €4,000. Following our wedding in 2008, Lyndsey brought up two more Hilary daughters, Milton Sapphire and Jennalyn Scarlet. More recently we purchased another full sister, Milton Francesca ET at a draft sale, an opportunity we just couldn’t refuse. Hilary was the top breeding cow in the Milton herd, having bred a number of top price bulls and most notably Milton Majesty, National Female Champion 2003 and former European record priced female sold at €21,000. Her progeny at Clonagh still proudly wear the halter she was shown it at all major events!

In 2013 Crimson Lady had a fantastic summer show season starting with a win at Balmoral, breed championships at Clonmel, Ossory, Mullingar and Tinahely and winning both of the champion of champions classes she’s competed in. She also won the much coveted Jenna Stone Memorial Trophy and National Senior Heifer Championship.
