It was a world record breaking day at Carlisle on Saturday 17th October when Trueman Jagger from Henry Savage & Sons, Altnamackin, Newry, Co Down sold for a remarkable 140,000gns (£147,000). Widely described as one of the best Limousin bulls ever seen at a British Limousin Cattle Society Sale, the April 2014 born bull was purchased by a five way syndicate of breeders which comprised of Michael & Melanie Alford, Foxhillfarm; Paul Dawes, Dinmore; Messrs Jenkinson, Whinfellpark; Gareth Lee, Calogale;and Danny Sawrij, Swalesmoor.
The world record was the highlight of the Society’s Autumn Sale that saw 85 bulls sell to a sensational average of £8709. The average was up by over £3200 on the year and is a new UK all-breeds record.
On Friday at the pre-sale show Trueman Jagger had been placed as the Overall Supreme Champion & Intermediate Champion by the judge, and Irish Limousin Cattle Society Chairman, Kevin Bohan, Beechhill Farm, Doon, Co. Laois. An embryo calf, Trueman Jagger is by Ampertaine Gigolo and is out of the noted Trueman Grazia.
Ampertaine breeding, from James McKay, Upperlands, Maghera, Co. Derry was one of the features of the sale and the Reserve Overall Champion, and Reserve Intermediate Champion was another Ampertaine Gigolo son, Ampertaine Jamboree. Another April 2014 born bull, Jamboree is out of the Wilodge Cerberus daughter Ampertaine Fifi. This bull made the day’s second top rice of 45,000gns when being purchased by the Ronick herd of W Dick & Sons, Mains of Throsk, Stirling.
