Lisglass Kirk has been sold privately for £25,000 to Backmuir Morayshire Simmental breeders, Philip Simmers and sons Reece and Andrew, have purchased a Simmental bull privately for £25,000 from Co Antrim-based Leslie and Christopher Weatherup – establishing a new Northern Ireland breed record into the bargain. Selling at this big money was Lisglass Kirk, a 20-month-old son of the Northern Ireland-bred Mullyknock Gallant, backed by Balmoral Show champions on his mother's side. His dam is the 2017 champion, Lisglass Goddess GP83, which in turn is a daughter of the herd's stock bull, Dermotstown Delboy, a former supreme winner at the Royal Ulster in 2014 and 2015.
