Solpoll Hereford bull sells at £10,000

SOLPOLL 1 Trailblazer, a 16 month old Hereford bull bred by John and William McMordie, Ballygowan, County Down, has been sold privately for £10,000.

Purchased by Lyn, Leslie and Adam Bowen, Nelson, Glamorgan, for their Bowendu herd, it was described by Adam as the ‘stand out bull’ they saw while looking for a new herd sire.

Adam said: “He has an excellent pedigree and figures to match.”

John and William McMordie describe Trailblazer as the best son so far from their stock bull Solpoll 1 Promoter.

William said: “We would have liked to have shown him at the spring sale in Shrewsbury in April, but we are delighted he has gone to a good home.”
