The heifers kickstarted the sale and proved in high demand, with the average price rising to just shy of €2,900.
Taking the second top price was Lisduff Peggy V722, hitting the market at €3,800. This three-star heifer on the replacement index was born May 2019 and her pedigree includes Mogeely Josh, Jerusalem Faraday and Laheens Richard.
Bulls were a bit trickier but still rose to as high as €3,350. The male sale topper came in the form of Lisduff Daly. This June 2019-born bull is out of the same family as the female high-seller, with proven stock bulls Mogeely Josh and Lisduff Kit also in the direct lineage.
