This is a one-off opportunity made possible because of our unwavering faith in our junior females. With over 30 calf crops under our belt, we’ve navigated every hurdle and obstacle to build a resilient, high-quality consistent herd.
Our commitment to continuously breed the next generation better has shaped the cattle into the exceptional stock you see today. We have selected 13 females from a selection of our best female lines, with successful sire stacks in their pedigrees. All of these females have proven to be outstanding producers for us, with countless successful calves from the females on offer in this catalogue. Still young with many more of years of productive life ahead for these cows, they will not be half way through their lifetime yet, therefore due to our strong youngstock coming through we have decided to offer these favourites for sale.
Nothing is more rewarding than watching our cattle thrive and perform well for others. We look forward to seeing these favourite Goulding females work for you in years to come...
Should you have any queries either before or after the sale please do not hesitate to contact us.

Pick of All Females on Farm
Choice of any female on farm, any age!
This is an opportunity we have never offered before, and may never offer again! Come to our herd and take the pick of absolutely any female in our herd, heifer or cow the choice is yours! No cow is off limits! This represents the chance to get the female line, sire stack and performance you choose. Generations of consistent breeding decisions have built a herd we are very pleased with, and which has earnt the title of Champion National Large Herd in both 2023 & again in 2024.
We attribute this to our sire selection over the last 30 years, where maternal ability, correctness and carcass quality have been key! Being a herd of our size allows rigorous culling for any flaws in temperament, maternal ability or correctness & structure. This leaves us a uniformed herd of cows which work for us, not us for them!
We look forward to working with the lucky buyer to find their next matriarch and female line!
15 Pick of the Bull Calves
Choice of the Autumn 2023 & Spring 2024 Born Goulding Bulls
Selling both pedigree and commercial Angus bulls has been the backbone of our family business since our herd began, therefore we take immense pride in the consistency and quality of our annual offering! Bulls from our herd regularly sell to top herds and AI centres across the UK & Ireland, due to their phenotype, figures and high health status. The majority of bulls are sold from home with a few taken forward for public sale on occasion where prices are regularly at the top of the day’s trade. The 2024 crop is looking to be one of the most successful bunches to date, the influence of Dirk, Eminem and Evergarth daughters is
huge. There is no doubt great cows breed great bulls! Swanky and Eveready have clicked superbly with our girls breeding a superb looking bunch of bulls with figures to match, which you can have the complete first pick from! We are happy to house and rear the selected bull until he reaches service age.

Firstly Clara Swanky, AKA the ‘Carcass King’ he’s a muscle Machine, recently crowned best stockbull in the Munster Herd Competition. His progeny are truly outstanding, with incredible growth, muscle, correctness and locomotion, he’s one of the sires that has really defined our herd and will have an impact for years to come through his outstanding daughters.
Donaumoos Paule Y980
Our German boys, without a doubt the furthest we’ve gone to buy a bull, but they were well worth the trip! Donaumoos are doing some really exciting things, focussing on eating quality, carcass and maternal traits. These boys had figures, phenotypes and bloodlines that really resonated with us. We are using these boys heavily and with confidence, buying lot 2 or 12 gives you the first chance to get your hands on these new lads’ genes! Donaumoos
