BRITISH SIMMENTAL ANNOUNCES EXCITING NEW ‘NEXT GENERATION’ SALE FIXTURE TO BE HELD AT CARLISLE IN DECEMBER 2021

BRITISH SIMMENTAL ANNOUNCES EXCITING NEW ‘NEXT GENERATION’ SALE FIXTURE TO BE HELD AT CARLISLE IN DECEMBER 2021

The British Simmental Cattle Society has announced an exciting new sale fixture to be held at Harrison & Hetherington’s Borderway Mart, Carlisle on 3rd December this year.

Titled as the Simmental ‘Next Generation’ Sale, the new fixture will be for all classes of pedigree Simmental females, and with a further section for pedigree Simmental Weaned Calves born in the 2021 year.  Held on one day, the fixture will see a show for the females, followed by the weaned calves with classes for bulls and heifers, and with the sale itself held thereafter. 

Announcing the launch of this new fixture, the British Simmental Cattle Society’s President, Stewart Stronach said that the timing was ‘just right’ for the breed to introduce a high-profile Society sale of pedigree females and with the new dynamic of a section of weaned calves.  Commenting he said:

“It is the aim that this fixture can quickly establish itself to be a showcase sale for the Simmental breed that provides the quality, performance and genetics for ‘next generation’ cornerstone cattle in herds across the UK.   The introduction of a weaned calf section for registered calves born in the year of the sale is an exciting inclusion and a new way for breeders to market calves with breeding, style and potential.  We hope that this sale will have something for everyone and will offer choice and opportunities for new and established pedigree breeders, and also for commercial producers.”

Harrison & Hetherington will host the sale at their Borderway Mart, Carlisle, a venue that has been chosen to be as accessible as possible for both buyers and sellers from around Great Britain and Northern Ireland.    

In further comments, Mr Stronach went on to say: “British Simmental is established as one of the most profitable breeds in the beef industry and has all the attributes to be a ‘go to mainstay’ of the commercial suckler herd across the UK.  In addition to its premier and well-established maternal qualities, we know that Simmental is the No.1 Continental Beef Breed for Age at Slaughter, and with its growth advantages can deliver a green beef product with increased profitability.  Commercial producers are recognising the versatility and natural efficiencies of the Simmental breed and this is driving pedigree sales and the strong returns we are seeing for Simmental influenced cattle in commercial rings.  It is a timely point to announce this exciting new fixture and to widen the reach and availability of British Simmental”.

The announcement of this new sale comes immediately prior to a run of fixtures upcoming in May 2021 that sees British Simmental Cattle Society Sales at Worcester, Stirling, and Carlisle.

· 26,000gns is the second top price for a Simmental bull sold at auction in the UK, and a new Welsh record for a British Simmental.

· Sale average up by £1443 to a breed record £6482 for the 64 bulls sold.

· Excellent clearance rate of 82%, up by 15%, and the highest in the sale week.

· Six bulls made over 10,000gns, with 28 in all making 6000gns or more.

PISTYLL KINGSMAN
Pistyll Kingsman

The June 2019 born Pistyll Kingsman 19, all the way from Wales and Messrs GA & HM Francis, Pistyll Uchaf, Abergorlech, Carmarthen, sold for 26,000gns to lead a strong demand for Simmental bulls at United Auction’s Livestock Centre, Stirling, on Saturday 27th February.  Pistyll Kingsman is by Woodhall Ferrari 14, who has bred bulls to 14,000gns at Stirling, and is out of Woodhall Evangeline. 

Paying the sale top price was Richard McCulloch with the bull joining his noted Overhill House herd at Armadale, West Lothian that comprises of 40 pedigrees and 160 pure Simmentals in all.  Speaking after the sale Mr McCulloch said: “This is just my type of Simmental bull. He’s very square at the back, as long as a train, stylish with a cracking head and a good colour.  He’s a modern bull and has all the attributes to a terrific breeding bull.”  Mr McCulloch had first seen the bull on the Simmental Market website and was impressed by the pictures and videos.  Backing up the qualities of the bull was the attraction of the Woodhall breeding on both sides of the pedigree, breeding he was very familiar with.  Of the second highest price paid for a Simmental, Mr McCulloch commented: “I think this is an outstanding pedigree Simmental bull and the price paid is the type of investment that’s required for a bull of this quality to take the herd forward.”  From here the first aim will be to take semen from Pistyll Kingsman before putting him to the spring calvers.   Late in the day Richard McCulloch also bought the last bull in the ring, Mavsey Klansman, from Jonathan Gunn, for 6000gns and who he described as ‘a young bull with a lot of potential’.

The sale top price was the second highest ever paid for a Simmental bull at auction in the UK and set a new Welsh record for a British Simmental. With a bit of added Welsh flavour to the day, a number of bulls sold at the sale headed to the principality.

For the Francis family, selling bulls at Stirling for the first time in a few years, the 26,000gns was their top price at sale and surpassed an 8000gns figure previously achieved at Perth.  With a heavy concentration at home on pedigree sheep, the Pistyll Simmental herd presently comprises of 12 pedigree cows.  Commenting on their top price bull, Aneirin Francis said:  “From birth he was always a good calf.  We took him to the Welsh Simmental Calf Show at Carmarthen at the back end of 2019 where he did well, but we could see the forward potential in him then to make a really good bull.    At Stirling we thought he was one of the better bulls but you can never anticipate such a price.  We are delighted with the sale and to set a Welsh record, and hope Kingsman goes on to do well in the Overhill House herd.”   

The sale as a whole, held under the ongoing and unusual Covid circumstances, saw a strong demand led by both pedigree and commercial producers looking for first quality Simmental bulls.  64 bulls in all sold from the 78 forward to set a new breed record average of £6482, up by £1443 on the year, and with an 82% clearance rate being the highest in the week.  Six bulls made over 10,000gns with 28 in all making 6000gns and more. The 26,000gns top price was the leading all-breeds price in the sale week.  As is typical, the majority of the bulls sold to Scottish buyers and with a number of purchases heading to Orkney.  The sale however also saw a strong Simmental demand from across the UK and with bulls going to Wales, Northumberland, Cumbria, Herefordshire, Yorkshire, Hertfordshire & Northants.  Once again, and continuing the trend, there was a ready demand for dark, long, clean, modern bulls, with good figures and an emphasis on milk.

BACKMUIR KRAKEN
Backmuir Kraken

The second top price was 15,000gns for Backmuir Kraken 19 from Reece & Andrew Simmers, Backmuir Farm, Keith.  April 2019 born, Kraken is the first son to be sold at sale by Islavale Hamilton 16 and is out of the dam, Starline Kreole 11th.   A bull with ‘good power and style, and very correct in his legs’, the 15,000gns is the top sale price to date for the Backmuir Simmental herd.  This was another bull to head south of the border and to the new pedigree herd of AR Bulmer, Coultas Farm, Malton, North Yorkshire. Commenting, Mr Bulmer said: “I’d seen the bull previously on Facebook and Simmental Market.  He’s a great example of the Simmental breed with a good top line, a nice head, and being very correct.  I wanted a bull with a bit of size to breed heifers and the plan is for him to go in with the females in May.”  Mr Bulmer has already purchased 12 pedigree females including a batch from the Corskie herd.

iSLAVALE KACY
Islavale Kacy

At 11,500gns was Islavale Kacy 19 from Mr WS Stronach, Berryleys Farm, Keith, Banffshire.  March 2019 born this bull, early in the sale, was by Corskie Highlander and out of the Curaheen Bandit daughter Islavale Fantasia.  Described pre-sale ‘as possibly the best Corskie Highlander son yet from the Islavale Herd’, Islavale Kacy 19 had strong performance figures for calving ease, growth, and milk, and with both parents classified as EX.  Buying the package of pedigree and performance was commercial producer C&G Thomson, Wester Tulloch, Midmar, Aberdeenshire.  Other Islavale bulls in the sale made 7200gns, 6500gns, and 6000gns with a big team of 10 bulls in all, featuring a number of the younger entries, averaging well over £6000.
