Clogher March Charolais Spring Spectacular tops at 9,200gns Friday 4 March 2022 marked the return of Charolais animals to the Clogher Valley Livestock Mart, courtesy of the Northern Ireland Charolais Club. The day saw a return of the pre-sale show, with many high-quality animals shown and sold. Bulls averaged to £4501 and 2 heifers also found new homes to an average price of £3202.50. Taking the day’s highest price of 9,200gns was Reserve Intermediate Champion KILLADEAS RAYMOND from the well-established herd of S & D Bothwell of Ballinamallard, Co. Fermanagh. Raymond’s sire is the 11,000gns Battleford Laser, former Intermediate Champion at Stirling in 2017. His dam is Killadeas Lisa, a daughter of Gwenog Braveheart. Winning the bid for this 17-month-old was N McElwaine, who will be taking him home to Omagh, Co. Tyrone. The next highest price, 7,000gns, was attained by 12-month-old SLIEVEMORE SECRETARIAT, who is from S P Bradley’s herd in Omagh, Co. Tyrone. This strapping young lad was sired by the 25,000gns Inverlochy Ferdie, who also secured the title of Reserve Supreme Champion at Stirling in 2012. Secretariat’s dam is Roughan Natasha 2, an Irish-born daughter of Roughan Justin. Taking Secretariat back to their herd is winning bidder J O’Kane of Ballymena, Co. Antrim. Coming in at the third highest price of 6,300gns was BROGHER RADAR, a 16-month-old bred by T Phair of Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh. Radar was born to Brogher Emmy, a daughter of the popular French AI bull Sang-D’or. He was sired by Maerdy Ignition, who previously sold for the top price of 22,000gns at Stirling in 2014. Radar caught the eye of winning bidders A & Killadeas Raymond reserve Intermediate champion and top price at 9,200gns G Shaw, who will be taking him back to their holding in Carryduff, Co. Down. Close behind Radar at 6,200gns was DRUMACRITTEN RAMBO, the day’s Intermediate and Reserve Overall Champion. Rambo is from the herd of G Nelson in Rosslea, Co. Fermanagh and was sired by the popular easycalver Whitecliffe James. His dam is Drumacritten Orla, a daughter of former Balmoral Reserve Male Champion Thrunton Flyingscotsman. Rambo will be heading back to Co. Fermanagh, this time to Enniskillen, under the care of winning bidder N Johnston. 17-month-old ROSTREVOR ROCKY from Rostrevor Charolais in Rostrevor, Co. Down secured the next highest price of 4,100gns. Rocky was born to Goldies Lucy, a daughter of the 14,000gns Goldies Banker. Meanwhile his sire is the ever-popular French AI bull Diplo Gir. Rocky will be making the trip over to Pomeroy, Co. Tyrone, to the herd of winning bidders N & E Daly. The hammer came down twice at the next highest price of 4,000gns, firstly for PALACE ROMEO, a local bull from the herd of M Connolly of Clogher, Co. Tyrone. Romeo was sired by the easy calving Mornity Nero, and his dam is Palace Jiffy, a daughter of former Dungannon Supreme Champion Fymore Glory. Winning the bid and taking Romeo home was P Gilleece of Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh. Also selling for 4,000gns was the day’s Female Champion BIRCHES POPPY from N Natchett of Portadown, Co. Armagh. At the time of the sale, Poppy had been scanned in-calf to the easycalving Mornity Nero. Poppy was sired by the Irish-born Laheens Master, and her dam is Doon June, a daughter of the 16,00gns Anside Foreman. This beautiful heifer caught the attention of C Kelly, who won the bid and will be introducing Poppy to their herd in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone.
