What a show season this bull had in 2021!  He only did three shows - The Royal Highland Showcase, Devon County Show and The Great Yorkshire Show.  He certainly was on form winning Breed Championships at all three and then following on with Native Champion at the Royal Highland, Interbreed Champion at Devon County and Reserve Interbreed Champion at the Great Yorkshire.

 

In the autumn his offspring followed in his footsteps at the calf shows leaving us with exciting prospects for the show and sale ring in 2022.  Proving he is a breeder not just a bull for the show ring!

 

In December Rebel Kicks was crowned Champion Bull of Europe in the Hereford Breeder Competition and awarded third place bull in the world.  Something we are very proud of!

 

He may be retired from the show ring but this is not the last you will hear of Rebel Kicks!  We still have semen for sale at £80 per straw. 

Our two entries in the online Designer Genes Sale did us proud!  The sale which was a live online auction using the MartEye platform was an overwhelming success with a record breaking average price of just over £6,300.  Our herd sire prospect Moralee 1 Tommy Lad KR T2 sold for 5,000gns to Neil & Emma Howie, Chatton, Northumberland.  Also our heifer Moralee 1 Kylie KS S10 sold for 6,600gns to Tony Vasami, Cardiganshire, Wales.      

 

We didn't just sell we also purchased a new addition.    Auckvale Curly 1831S was purchased for 10,000gns and we are very excited about this heifer joining the Moralee herd.  

 

As we continue to live in these extraordinary times - we are left wondering if online sales like this are the new normal!
