Gohan P was purchased at the March '17 Roscommon Spring Premier Sale. Chosen on the strength of his back pedigree, his sire Curaheen Emanuel P is breeding very well in Hector Macaskill's Woodhall Herd, Scotland. Having seen Emanuel progeny at the Stirling Bull sales October '16, to me they were "like pea's in a pod". His grand dam Curaheen Angel caught my eye at the Curaheen Herd dispersal sale the previous September, a long clean, milky cow with great natural shape. His dam Auroch Absolute P is a maternal sister to Auroch Ace who sold for €11,000,  Curaheen Whiskey who sold for €17,000 and Auroch Hillary who is the current record price holder having sold for €26,000 at just nine months old.

​

Gohan's breeding includes the two prolific brood cows of the Curaheen herd, namely Raceview Merle Beauty and Raceview Misty Jade, two cows who need no introduction.

​

Gohan P is also a maternal brother to the AI bull Auroch Deuter PP, National Senior Bull Calf Champion 2013.

​

Gohan P is Heterzoygos polled.

​

With the BDGP currently dictating the pace in Irish beef breeding, Gohan's excellent figures were the final influencing factor in his purchase.

His Aug '17 evaluation figures are as follows;

​

5 Star Maternal (within breed and across breeds) €150

5 Star Terminal (within breed) 3 Star (across breeds) €107

5.3% calving difficulty

5 Star Carcass Weight 28kgs
