Organic fold. Tick acclimatised. Semen tested 16 December 2024.

Bred by Hector of Balnabroich and the beautiful white Jane Sean of Ardbhan, Sean is an excellent example of a highland bull. He reminds us of his distant relative, the most famous bull we have ever bred and a bull who paved the way for a number of Oban champions, including Kirkibost of Ardbhan, to whom Sean is almost identical. There have been several generations between the two bulls, so it's amazing to see Kirkibost's features come out so prominently in the present day.

Like his sire, Hector, Sean sports an incredible frame and has been a quick gainer since he was born. We'd love to see him make a mark on the breed like Kirkibost has, could he be the bull for you?
