Queen’s cows arrive in Ireland in a rare sale of Balmoral livestock

Two Scottish Highland Heifers from Queen Elizabeth's farming stock at Balmoral Castle which were bought by Philip and Liz Quinn of Holycross, Co Tipperary.

On a sad weekend for the British Royal family a Tipperary farm is celebrating the arrival of two of Queen Elizabeth's farming stock to their farm.

Two Scottish Highland heifers, straight from the Royal fold at Balmoral Castle, have arrived in Holycross village. Fresh from the ownership of Queen Elizabeth and the late Prince Philip, the two heifers are now owned by Holycross' Philip and Liz Quinn who are privileged to have been chosen to receive the animal. The Royal family very rarely sell any of their stock, so to get two of the eight arriving in Ireland is a major deal.
