We are incredibly proud to present these 15 “FOUNDATION FEMALES” for sale on the 24th October 2026 in Roscommon Mart. Each of these females go back to the three foundation families in the herd; Clough Sandra, Clonaslee Wanda and Seabank Rosebud all still making their mark almost 40 years later. We have no doubt that each of these heifers would make an impact on any herd either as a foundation female, a new family line or a stylish addition to next years show team. We have retained one autumn heifer to preserve a family line and two very young spring heifers for the same reason other than that you are being offered the cream of the crop!
Our line up is backed by generations of the most influential sires we have been lucky enough to have owned leading to what is now the modern Simmental we have today! From a bull called Ballybane Edward purchased in the 90’s to the latest purchase of Coltfield Murry each has ticked a box for the herd. There could be a page written for each of them but Banwy T-Rex, Kilbride Farm Dragoon, Bruchag Glenfiddich, Manor Park Hansome and Auroch Magnifico all purchased in the past 20 years shaping the herd with some our own genetics used to compliment them with Clonagh Tiger Gallant, Bartman, Direct Debit and Legal Eagle further solidifying the family lines.
Our show record goes without saying, from 12 “Overall Simmental of the Year” titles out of the last 15 competed in to dominating senior classes in both the male and female sections over the past number of years which is predominately down to the power and presence of the females produced by our herd sires. Through the shop window of the show circuit cows like “Absolutely Fabulous”, “Dora the Explorer” and “Darling Eyes” have cemented their part in the history books but more importantly also gone on to breed their own show and sale champions … where the real money is made!
We currently hold the society sale records for both male and female with €52,000 for Lucky Explorer in 2020 and €18,000 for Jubilant Fabulous in 2019 both of whom have family entered in this draft and have also bred top priced cattle themselves in the UK. For the past 6 years we have mainly sold our heifers via online sale and in two batch exports to Spain but there is nothing like the sale buzz you get in Roscommon and with a batch of heifers like these it was an easy decision to make.
As ever there is a wealth of information available on the website www.clonaghherds.com and social media platforms. All lots have been individually filmed and photographed with the emphasis on the video footage to accommodate the online bidders.
We wish everyone the best of luck with their purchases and look forward to hopefully following their successes for generations to come.
