Champion
Taking the intermediate and overall champion was Goldies Olympia. This June 2018-born bull was tapped out by judge Michael Alford in the intermediate championship, where Olympia stood alongside two of his own mates.
Sired by Ampertaine Foreman, he is out of a Vantastic daughter that goes back to the prolific Goldies Vitality. The dam of the champion is no stranger to producing the goods. A maternal brother to Olympia, Goldies Neymar, sold at the May society sale in Carlisle for 25,000gns.
With the champion tapped out the reserve intermediate champion, Goldies Owain made his way to the line-up. This bull is an embryo full brother to the overall champion and was tapped out as reserve.
The sale for the sale takes place at 11am tomorrow (Saturday). Watch www.farmersjournal.ie and the Twitter handle @FJ_Pedigree for updates.
