Background

While the herd was predominantly dairy up until 2006, the Mogeely Angus herd has been running for nearly four decades. Starting in 1984, the herd went from 15 females in 2006 to 70 strong in later years.

The reason for the reduction sale, according to the de Cogans, is to bring cow numbers back to closer 30 breeding females.
