Top price of €16,200 at Breeder’s Dream Sale

A top price of €16,200 was given at the Breeder's Dream Sale in Kanturk, Co. Cork following the 2026 Irish Holstein Friesian Association (IHFA) annual open day. The sale was comprised of more than 40 elite animals from the Cedarmore Holstein herd, which is operated by Bryan and John O’Connor, hosts of the 2026 open day. Denis Barrett, who took to the rostrum for the sale, called it a "superb line-up" that featured "40 of the world's most sought-after Holstein families". The bidding started off hot and heavy, with buyers keen to get an opportunity to buy into elite genetics. The top price of the day was given for lot 5, as Cedarmore Mogul Savoire Fare went under the hammer for an astonishing €16,200.
