Setting the headlines was the Clonagh Team of Garrett & Lyndsey Behan, Ballyfin, Portlaoise, when selling their Senior Bull Champion, Clonagh Sammy Fabulous, for €25000. This May `24 born bull is sired by Herd Sire Coltfield Murry and is out of a Brideville Freddy dam Clonagh Nelly Fabby. The pre-sale judge, Hannah Wood from the Popes Herd in the UK, had no hesitation in tapping this quality bull forward as her Senior Bull Champion, and her placing was matched in the sales ring. Purchasing this bull was Hazel McNee, for her Finlarg Herd in Scotland. Hazel had, in fact, placed Sammy Fabulous as Overall Simmental Champion when she judged The National Simmental Show at Tullamore in August.
