Cork Summer Show bull ‘like part of family’

Most bulls his size would do serious damage in a china shop — but not so Rosemead Korona. The magnificent prize bull is so quiet, he could nearly take the bus to his last public appearance.

Despite tipping the scales at a hefty tonne and a half, the impressive Aberdeen Angus specimen is so good, his owner, Albert de Cogan, said last night that he was like a part of the family.

The East Cork-based farmer said it will be a day of mixed emotions as they put the world, European and All-Ireland title winner on public show for the last time during one of Ireland’s longest running agricultural festivals this weekend.
