“All online entries are available to view by appointment. It is recommended you contact the individual vendor before the sale,” the Irish Moiled Cattle Society concluded.
Irish Moiled cattle
The Irish Moiled cattle, according to the society, are a hornless polled breed, red in colour and characteristically marked by a white line or ‘finching’ on the back and white under parts with red ears and red nose.
However, they can vary from white with red ears and nose to nearly all red. The face is often roan or flecked.
They are of medium size and are generally easy to handle with a placid docile temperament, the society says.
