Gigginstown House Angus
The Gigginstown House Angus Herd was established in 1997. Our policy is to invest in the very best genetics. We started with Canadian show champions from Edmonton and Regina. To these we have added the very best genetics in Ireland and Britain. The
Gigginstown herd has enjoyed show success at the Spring Show and National Shows.
We have sourced many of the top heifers in Canada, Ireland and Scotland for their conformation, functional and maternal traits. These include daughters of Angus legends such as Krugerrand, Stockman 365, TC Stockman, Extra Gold, Green’s Premium and Black Magic. We have supplemented these females with champion Irish and UK Heifers.
In 2022 the herd comprises of over 450 cows and breeding heifers, who are already producing the next generation of champions.
Our policy of breeding quality led to our purchase of the best available head sires. Our Champion bulls were imported direct from Canada, and Perth champions were brought from Scotland. Together with our other herd sires they have bred high quality males and females for elite pedigree and commercial herds in Ireland and the UK.
Our bulls are well grown (aged between 16 months to 24 months), are easy calving and provide a source of out-cross genetics to improve all breeding programmes both pedigree and commercial. Lots 24 – 37 are running with stock bulls and Lots 38-42 are maiden heifers. The service dates will be announced and all bulls are available for inspection on the day of the auction. We would be happy to show you the herd by appointment prior to the sale and give you any help we can with your selection.
Because we rigorously focus on quality, we believe that Gigginstown House Angus will continue to provide Irish, UK and European Angus breeders with the opportunity to introduce new bloodlines and add real quality at tremendous value to your pedigree and commercial herds.
The Gigginstown Herd, including all sale animals have tested negative for BVD, are vaccinated against Black leg, BVD, IBR and Lepto and the dams of all sale animals have tested free of Johne’s disease. All animals are sold with a breeding guarantee and all bulls will be fertility tested prior to sale.
Our herd is managed by Joe O’Mahony and his team. We warmly welcome you to the Gigginstown Angus sale and thank you for your support. Should you need a quality
Angus animal at any time during the year please call us. We hope you’ll enjoy your day and will find an animal or two!
Best wishes: Joe O’Mahony
