Adrian Richardson has been breeding pedigree Charolais cattle for more than 30 years, and has chalked up numerous show and sale successes.

Cows catalogued include daughters of Mowbraypark Orlando, Killadeas Jack and Burradon Talisman.

Six-year-old cow Hillviewfarm Gina ET (Lot 88) is bred from the Derrygiff Mills daughter Coolnaslee Regina. She sells with her June born Blelack Digger bull calf at foot.

Three of the heifers on offer are daughters of Blelack Digger, while the fourth, Hillviewfarm Nani (Lot 95) is a stylish yearling heifer by Goldies Icon. She has great potential, having already won the interbreed beef championship at Fermanagh County Show in early August.
