Gigginstown House Angus, the pedigree herd of Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary, is set to host its 2025 Angus bull and heifer sale at Fennor Farm just outside Mullingar, Co. Westmeath next month.
This year’s sale is set to include 25 bulls and 20 of what have been described by the sale organisers as "the best breeding females produced by Gigginstown".
There will be 23 black Angus and two red Angus bulls offered in the sale on Saturday, April 19, at 1:00p.m.,and the pedigree females offered in the sale will be a mix of in-calf heifers and maiden heifers, with some of the in-calf heifers expected to have calves at foot by the day of the sale.
The 2025 Gigginstown Angus sale will be conducted by John Tevlin of Ballyjamesduff Mart, Co. Cavan and will be broadcast live on the MartEye website.
Launching the Gigginstown’s 2025 Pedigree Angus sale today (Wednesday, March 26) Michael O’Leary said: “We believe that farm manager Joe O’Mahony and his team have assembled the best group of Angus bulls and pedigree heifers we have ever offered to Irish breeders.
"By investing heavily in the very best English, UK, Scottish, Canadian and Irish genetics, we have assembled a high-quality team of Angus bulls that are ready to go to work for breeders."
"We will also offer a very select group of pedigree females, 15 of whom will be in calf, and the balance will be ready to augment and improve pedigree angus herds in all four provinces," he said.
According to O'Leary, at last year’s sale they welcomed buyers from all over Munster, Connacht, Ulster, Leinster, some UK buyers, and also buyers online.
O'Leary said he hopes the event on April 19 will provide "another exciting platform for promoting Aberdeen Angus pedigree breeding" and said that that car parking will be free.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Gigginstown Angus Sale on Saturday, April 19".
