Our main sire for several years, ZLL, was a red angus and probably the most consistently top ranked ICBF bull of all time of any breed. His genetics are a strong component across all our herd today. Malcolm was another very influential sure we owned in the past. His first daughter to be shown achieved first in class and overall reserve champion in 2010 and continued to win in 2011. In 2012 and 2013 we won 3 rosettes in Ossory and one in the All Ireland. 2014 saw his grand daughter, No 970, win the All Ireland Aberdeen-Angus senior heifer. In 2015, a grandson, Dalriada 1366 was Champion at Newcastlewest show. In 2022 we had the winning red angus cow in Limerick show.
