Date of birth: 3 March 2022
Colour: Red
Sire: Eoin Mhor of Castles Estate
Dam: Lili 19th of Achnacloich
Ben Cruachan 3rd (2-year-old) and Ben Cruachan 4th (yearling) have been naturally reared on an Argyllshire hill farm. Tick acclimatised and fully out wintered. Both sired by Eoin Mhor of Castles Estate, who was used at home for three years before being sold in Oban last year for 6200gns.
Ben Cruachan 3rd was used in 2023 as a yearling and has six cows in calf, all at the first service. His dam is a great 14-year-old Achnacloich cow, and is dark red, deep bodied and stylish. He is very quiet.
Ben Cruachan 4th is an exciting prospect, we think. Fantastic temperament, very growthy, great confirmation with outstanding depth and width for his age, good locomotion, stylish head and good hair, this boy has it all. His dam is a correct and stylish boss cow purchased from Ormsary as a heifer.
Both clear for Allele NT821.
