About The Herd

Aughloragh Angus herd is situated in north Galway approx 3 miles from Tuam. My father was a suckler farmer all his life and after returning from college in 2003 I set about starting our pedigree angus herd. It has been expanding ever since. After much travelling I bought our first angus heifer from the renowned Kilkelly herd and it wasn’t long before I purchased another impressive heifer from this farm. Shortly after I added a couple of quality heifers from established breeders but with farmers unwilling to part with their very best cows/heifers I turned to embryo transplant to get the very best bloodlines on the ground.

In 2007 I purchased embryos from Owen O'Neill (Bova A.I.) that were from the famous cow Belvin Lady Blossom 6404. This was a success and I now have a fantastic heifer and two outstanding bulls from this cow. Both bulls (Maternal brothers to Bova Lord Blackwood H175 out of Bova A.I. catologue) would make brilliant stock bulls. I have also two heifers due to calf in September with embryos from the exciting combination of Belvin Lady Blossom 6404 and Belvin rebel.

My breeding policy is simple, I keep the best and cull the rest, i have no time for sentiment so if the cows/heifers are not up to scratch they won’t be kept. I use 100% A.I. and I spend a lot of time trying to source the very best bulls, a combination which leads to elite offspring. We usually have stock for sale all year round and visitors are always welcome to view stock.
