Penguin Dolly sold at the Royal Highland Show to Northern Ireland

Adding to his recent purchases in Northern Ireland, new breeder Trevor Wallace acquired yet another quality Aberdeen-Angus female to his herd.

Having almost “fallen in love” with Penguin Dolly C133 at the recent Royal Highland Show, Mr Wallace later secured her in a private deal from Shropshire-based breeder Bob Lane. This before Dolly later went on to win the cow and calf class.

“I saw and I really liked her. She’s a powerful yet balanced cow with a good calf at foot and is just the type of female maker I’m looking for,” Mr Wallace told the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society.

Dolly is sired by the Papa Equator 2928 son Penguin Toney Bear Y181 and is out of Dolly W22 of Penguin, who is by Perryville Nimrod 29C.

She will return home to Northern Ireland where she will join Mr Wallace’s two most recent additions from Bernard Mairs dispersal sale, the two year old TLA Northern Samurai daughter Croftburn Blackbird H331 and the successful show cow Huxton Blackbird B081 ho is sired by Rawburn El Cid Z432 out of Rawburn Blackbird.

Speaking of his plans for his new Aberdeen-Angus herd, Mr Wallace says he doesn’t want to run too many cows, possibly 10 maximum and plans to start showing next year.
