A Donegal charity auction for Cancer Care West organised by the IFA attracted the attention of two bidders from New York recently.
I am told that a man from Donegal, Seán Quinn, who emigrated to New York years ago, bid €5,100 for a Limousin store bullock on the night through a ringside bidder.
Mayo man Seamus Glynn, also now in New York, bid €2,100 for a Limousin heifer.
How did they hear about the auction you ask? Well, it was during a tea break while making hay on a farm in upstate New York. That, is a story for another day. The cattle won’t be taking the next flight out of Carrickfinn airport to New York, but are in the herd of local man Seamus Quinn.
