Kells annual Suffolk female sale takes place this Saturday 24 October at Kells Farm, Co Meath.
Established in 1980, Eamon Duffy’s reputable Kells Suffolk flock has been strategically built, with a focus on breed type, structural soundness and exceptional growth rates.
As well as this, the Duffy family places great emphasis on maternal traits and terminal ability to ensure top performance and longevity.
Thirty years of selective breeding and purchasing in-lamb females from all over Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK to increase genetics within Kells Suffolks has lead to a flock boasting excellent skins, powerful carcasses and clean breed characteristics.
The sale offers a selection of export-available in-lamb gimmers AI’d on 7 August to Cregmore Dare to Dream, which was reserve male champion at the all-Ireland championships in Athenry in 2025.
Sire
Many of the gimmers presented for sale are sired by 2024 Irish sire of the year Kells T-Rex, which has bred progeny to £33,000.
Other notable sires include Kells Bicardi, supreme champion of Tullamore Show, and Islandmoyle Dapper.
A collection of ewe lambs, also available for export, sired by Islandmoyle Dapper, Kenny’s Diamond and Cregmore Dare to Dream will also be available for purchase.
Saturday’s sale also includes a guest consignment from Molloy Suffolks, which will present a selection of gimmers in-lamb to Connview Enigma, as well as an offering of ewe lambs sired by Catleisle Dancing Brave.
All sheep offered for sale are vaccinated for bluetongue.
Customers are invited for viewing at 12pm on Saturday, with the sale starting at 2pm.
