The Knockane Simmentals herd has experienced success over the years in both local, inter-county & All-Ireland show levels in both Pedigree and Commercial classes-see below for a selection of our achievements. Furthermore, our commitment to breeding quality cattle for today's commercial and pedigree markets is evident in our consistent success in Tully. Recently (Dec 2010) Curaheen Vio has been listed as Ireland's No.1 sire across all breeds in the latest ICBF Evaluation - see Semen Sales for more details!
