Nelson and James Alexander’s open day will take place on Saturday 10 March. This was a hugely popular event last year, with suckler producers flocking from right across Ireland to attend.
The main focus will be on having a look at the livestock, which will include the 2018 crop of 800 heifers that will be sold in batches throughout the year. These high-quality Simmental, Limousin and Blue types are served to easy-calving Limousin bulls and will make ideal suckler replacements. Visitors will also be able to view the full range of tractors and pickups that are currently in stock at Alexander tractors. The open day will take place at 88 Gloverstown Road, Toomebridge, BT41 3HU between 11am and 3pm.
