On Thursday 4 May, the Irish Aberdeen Angus Association held its final spring sale of the year in Nenagh Mart, Co Tipperary. Overall, the sale was met with a 100% clearance rate with the lots selling to an average price just over €3,660.
Topping trade on the day and continuing his run of form was Matt Goulding with Goulding Paddy Y312.
The March 2022-born bull was sired by Clara Swanky who also sired the two top-priced bulls at the association’s sale in Thurles the previous week.
Boasting five stars across the board with a massive carcase weight figure of +23.8kg, he met his reserve at €5,100.
Next to top the polls was the previous lot into the ring, Drumcrow Volvo, who sold for €4,700. Bred by Cavan breeder Margaret McKiernan, this bull was sired by Rawburn Boss Hogg out of the homebred Drumcrow Partner Perfect L475 dam.
Again, boasting a page of stars, he carried a carcase weight figure double that of the breed average.

Sired by Keirsbeath Karma, this five-star carcase weight bull was out of a Lanigan Red Mikado dam.
