RDS Champion of Champions Fearna Tiffany The summer of 2011 was a fantastic start for Fearna Simmentals. It began at Roundfort show with Fearna Tiffany, a Milton Lord Tiffany sired cow, claiming the Simmental breed championship. She then went on to win a total of eight breed championships at various shows. The highlight of the show season was winning the senior cow class and overall Simmental Female Champion at The Tullamore National Livestock Show.
Reserve Senior Heifer in Tullamore and numerous breed championships. Also in 2011, Tiffany’s full brother Fearna Anfield was exported across the waters to the Newbie Mains herd in Scotland. We wish them, and all with whom we did business every success. We would like to think that Fearna Tiffany is a fine example of the Simmental breed and that she represented it well, winning all of the Interbreed Championships that she entered. We hope to see her first daughter Fearna Countess Jubilee following in her footsteps, as we The Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Simon Covney and the RDS President can already see many Mr. Fonsie Mealy presenting the RDS Champion of Champions award similarities to Tiffany to Gerry & Mark Neenan at her age.
It was indeed a very proud moment for us when we were informed that, the title of The RDS Champion of Champions was to be bestowed upon Tiffany in Dublin on the 29th of November 2011. We were extremely honoured to be receiving this prestigious award.
The RDS holds very special memories for us, as it was there that we won our first national title in 2003 with Monaduff Jubilee, claiming the Supreme Overall Simmental Champion. Monaduff Jubilee happens to be Fearna Tiffany’s mother. Jubilee, a Brinkton Sovreign sired cow was an excellent animal of extreme size and power and with excellent milking abilities. All of these qualities and traits seem to be passing on to her offspring. We have had great success to date with this family line. To date, Tiffany’s sister Fearna Regal has produced three daughters, Fearna Vienna who claimed National Senior Heifer Champion in 2009 and two more daughters Fearna Aspen and Fearna Baroness who were sold to the Coose herd of John and Ronan Tuohy. We are delighted to see the success that they are enjoying with Fearna Aspen winning 20

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who helped and supported us and everyone who is involved in the organisation of getting these shows to where they are today. They are a fantastic shop window for the breed. We would also like to express our appreciation for all the good wishes we received. We look forward to meeting all our fellow breeders and friends again in the coming months, where we will continue to keep the Simmental flag flying high. Neenan Bros, Fearna Simmentals.
