There’s a new phenomenon out there in the cattle showing world and that’s to raffle a heifer or calf, as opposed to the normal route of sale.
The 2020 way is to stick up a photo of your calf on social media, along with her stars, breeding, photos of the mother, photos of the mother’s mother and what she could have won in 2020 – it all goes up there.
You sell numbers 1 to 59 based on the UK lotto numbers. It’s based on UK numbers as there are only 47 numbers on the Irish lotto, which means less moolah.

Fifty euro/number via PayPal into your account and the first number out on Saturday night wins the heifer. You get €2,850 for your animal and one lucky punter wins a heifer for €50.
How much simpler could it be? I’m setting up the PayPal account as we speak. Watch this space for the first Jersey bull calf raffle.
