Lot 17 CASTLESCREEN GREGORY
Castlecreen Herd. Jackie & Damien Tumelty run the award-winning Dexter Castlecreen Herd it is also Northern Ireland's only Pasture for Life Certified Dexter Farm
Castlecreen Gregory is a young 3yr old bull who was bred by our stock bull CAITLIN CATKIN JUNIOR a bull that was bred in Wales and who has bred very well for our herd with bull calves classified EX 93 and heifers VG 87.
We think Gregory has all the signs and makings of a really good herd sire and will be a great addition to any herd. His dam has bred two sons who already have become herd sires in two pedigree herds. Gregory has already females served and is proven fruitful and correct.
Gregory is a nice young bull ready for work that we feel has a great breeding future ahead of him and are only selling him due to him being related to too many females in the herd. Coming from an FQA assured herd - meaning raised 100% on pasture, 100% of the year with 0% fertilisers or pesticides.
