Preparations are in full swing for the first sale of heifers from Tullamore Farm, which takes place in Tullamore Mart at 3.30pm on Monday 7 May.
Forty-eight heifers have been selected for the sale based on visual appearance, replacement index and weight for age.
ADVERTISEMENT
Forty-three of the heifers catalogued were bred on Tullamore Farm last year and are predominantly Limousin X. Five Hereford X dairy replacements have also been included in the sale.
Top in country
The heifers are predominantly four- and five-star with an average replacement index of €108, putting the group in the top 20% of heifers in the country in terms of replacement index. The heifers also have an average daughter milk figure of +8.3kg, which puts the group in the top 10% in the country in terms of commercial heifer daughter milk. Heifers will have weight history displayed on the night and a full vaccination history.
Vaccine
All heifers have received two shots of both the BVD vaccine and the leptospirosis vaccine. All heifers have also been scanned not in calf and suitable for breeding. During the winter, heifer shave received a lot of handling and have become very quiet as a result. Part of the farm plan for Tullamore Farm is to have an annual sale of breeding heifers and with the farm moving more towards AI, it is hoped that the sale will become a good source of top-quality heifers with high-genetic indexes. Anybody interested in purchasing heifers at the sale can download a copy of the catalogue.
