    The long-established Sheplands herd of suckler cows owned by the O’Flaherty family and managed by well-known farm manager Heinz Eggert will be sold in Kilcullen Mart next Wednesday 16 January 2019 at 1pm.

    The sale includes 89 spring-calving cows, 11 in-calf heifers and four pedigree stock bulls.

    The herd is vaccinating for BVD, lepto and salmonella and has been TB-free for the last 12 years.

    The herd boasts a very high replacement index at €128, with cows as high as €220 included in the sale. First-calving heifers average replacement index comes in at €160.
