SIMMS TOPPING SALE SECTIONS AT ABERDEEN: BALLYMENA; HALLWORTHY; ASHFORD; DINGWALL; MARKETHILL; FROME; DUNGANNON; STIRLING; CARMARTHEN; MARKET DRAYTON; HOLSWORTHY; WOOLER; SALISBURY; AYR; LANARK; DUMFRIES; ANGLESEY; TRURO; CARLISLE; QUOYBRAE; PENRITH; CASTLE DOUGLAS; BENTHAM; THAME; EXETER; SHREWSBURY; SEDGEMOOR; BAKEWELL; SELBY; LANCASTER; MONMOUTHSHIRE; & HOLMFIRTH
A premium on efficiency continues to drive the increasing uptake of Simmental cattle by commercial producers, in a forward industry with a pressure on costs.
Maternal qualities of easy, regular calving, fertility, plenty of milk, and the ability to extensively produce a quality calf year on year, are recognised as the Simmental benchmark.
Commercial producers are future-proofing the productivity of their suckler herds by introducing Simmental females and genetics. On top you have: industry leading at age at slaughter whether sired by a Simmental or out of a Simmental dam, leading daily carcase gain, significant reduction in finishing costs, and lower emissions meeting environmental challenges. It all adds up to efficiency, a base of sustained proven performance, and good economics. There’s more to Simmental.

Shropshire-based breeder Chris Martindale has been elected as President of the British Simmental Cattle Society (BSCS) following the Society’s Annual General Meeting held recently in Stirling at the October Bull Sales.
BSCS President, Chris Martindale
Having served as a Council Member since 2021, he takes over from Norman Robson, Kilbride Farm, Ballyclare who had served as President for a two year term of office. Chris Martindale, who had been the Society’s Vice President and Chairman of Finance, also over the previous two years, becomes the 28th Chairman of the BSCS in its 54 year history, and the tenth from England.
Chris, together with his wife Kath, joined the BSCS in 1990. Their Forsdale Herd based at Coedfa, St Martins, Oswestry was established following the private purchase of two cows with calves at foot from the Dispersal Sale of the Boscobel Herd of Mrs EP Yates, Codsall Wood, Wolverhampton. Simmental was the chosen breed as the Martindales wanted cows that were easy calving and easy managed, had good docility, and great mothering ability. Today the herd comprises of twelve pedigree cows and fits well with Chris who is the Sales Manager for Lloyd’s Animal Feeds, a company he has worked for 33 years.
In recent years, the herd has gone down the polled route, again with an increasing emphasis on ease of management, and with the calves from their latest heterozygous polled stock bull, Wroxall Nescafe (P), eagerly awaited in the Spring. Keen supporters of local shows, the Forsdale Herd has met with much success showing females at Newport, Oswestry, and Denbeigh shows. Bulls are sold from the farm and to a repeat customer base. A noted pedigree judge, Chris Martindale has judged all over the country and at major shows including the Royal Highland, Royal Welsh, and the Simmental World Congress show held within the Royal Norfolk in 2008. Most recently he judged the pre-sale show of Simmental bulls at Stirling in October 2022.
A significant momentum behind the Simmental breed has seen an uplift in commercial demand, a series of record sale averages, and increased pedigree registrations for three consecutive years. Commenting on this Chris Martindale said: “In a focussed industry, commercial producers need high performing, benchmark maternal traits as the long-term foundation to build their suckler herds upon.”
“There’s an increasing recognition that modern Simmental genetics gives you that and more. Easy calving, easy managed, full of milk, calving year on year, producing quality female replacements, and fleshy, growthy calves. The analysis of AHDB’s figures proves the performance of Simmental females, both pure and when crossed with any breed. Add in the further terminal advantages proven in age at slaughter and daily carcase gain, and it adds up to real money and performance for producers. “
BSCS President Chris Martindale (right), making a presentation to his predecessor Norman Robson at Stirling. Michael Durno, BSCS Vice President is on the left.
A further focus of the next two years will be preparing for the 25th World Simmental Congress with it recently being announced that this will be hosted by the British Simmental Cattle Society in the United Kingdom in 2026. In a further comment, Chris Martindale went on to say:
“I am extremely honoured to have been elected as President of one of the UK’s leading beef breed societies. As a Society we’ll continue to work hard and take dead aim at promoting the Simmental’s abilities, to grow the breed across the UK markets. We’re excited to have been awarded the World Congress in 2026, and it will provide a terrific platform for us to showcase the breed to a widespread audience, both domestically and internationally.”
Michael Durno who runs the Auchorachan pedigree herd at Glenlivet, Ballandalloch, Banffshire has been elected as the British Simmental Cattle Society’s Vice President.

DRUMCLOG, AND BOWHILL THE SIMMENTAL ‘STARS’ AT STIRLING
- Drumclog Richard takes the Junior honours
- Bowhill Petal wins Senior Championship
- Jim Goldie Jnr wins the Young Handler Championship!
First time ‘big winners’ was the name of the game at Stirling as the Bowhill and Drumclog herds, took the Simmental Championships at the prestigious Stars of the Future Calf Show held on Saturday, 9th November, at United Auctions, Stirling Agricultural Centre.
Overall Junior & Junior Male Champion Drumclog Richard
Judge for the day, John Barlow of the Denizes Herd, Four Oaks, Ulnes, Nr Leyland, Lancashire found his Overall Junior Champion, and Junior Male Champion, in the shape of the April 2024 born Drumclog Richard from Robbie Hamilton, Allanton Farm, Darvel, Ayrshire. This young bull is by Islavale Echo 2 13 EX 92, and is the first calf out of Islavale Margarita, a Wolfstar Elusive daughter. Commenting on his Junior Champion the judge John Barlow said: “What a good calf this is and he caught my eye the second he walked into the ring! The youngest in the catalogue he has good size for his age, is very calfy, and full of style and character. With a great top, and straight lines to him, he also walked extremely well. Full of potential, Drumclog Richard has every chance to go on and make a high-end breeders bull.” It was quite a debut for 23 year old Robbie Hamilton, a sheep auctioneer at United Auctions, with Drumclog Richard being his first ever Simmental calf, and his first time ever showing! Islavale Margarita was purchased privately from Stewart Stronach, Berryleys Farm, Keith and with straws of Islavale Echo 2 13 EX 92 being given as part of a luckpenny. The Drumclog herd presently comprises of three females, with a view to increasing it to ten cows in the future, and is run alongside the herd of Luings at home. From here Drumclog Richard will be used and then with a view to him being aimed at a sale thereafter.
Overall Senior & Senior Female Champion Bowhill Petal
It was a day for Ayrshire based herds with the Overall Senior Champion being Bowhill Petal from Rachael Reid, D&R Holdings, Low Bowhill Farm, Newmilns, Ayrshire.
Sired by the 26,000gns Pistyll Kingsman, who is also the sire of the record breaking 46,000gns Overhill House Neo, the September 2023 born Bowhill Petal is out of Overhill House Mary, a heifer bought at Caledonian Marts, Stirling, fundraising sale for £4000 with proceeds going to children’s charities in Ukraine. Speaking afterwards David and Rachael said: “Overhill House Mary has a lovely, quiet nature and this has rubbed off on Bowhill Petal who has been so easy to work with. This is the first year that we have been on the show scene and we’re just absolutely thrilled to win the Overall Senior Championship at an event like Stars of the Future. Bowhill Petal is definitely a keeper! The aim is to have her on the show scene next year and to go on and breed from her.”
Establishing the Bowhill prefix and joining the Society in 2023, the Bowhill herd has a base of breeding stock bought from the Overhill House herd of Richard McCulloch, and presently comprises of twelve breeding females with five in calf or near calving.
Reserve Junior Male Champion Blackford Revel 24 (P) ET
Reserve Junior Female Champion Blackford Raggiana (P) (ET)
It was a successful day for the Blackford herd of WG MacPherson (A Firm), Blackford Farm, Croy, Inverness who took the Reserve Junior titles in both the male and female sections. Placing second in his class to the Overall Junior Champion, and going on to take the Reserve title was the February 2024 born Blackford Revel 24 (P) (ET). Heterozygous polled, this calf is an embryo calf by the multi-title winning bull Heathbrow Important 17 (P) EX 93, and is out of Blackford Aero EX 92, a Kilbride Farm Strabane daughter, and whose previous progeny include the 2017 Royal Highland Simmental Champion, Blackford Galaxy. A ‘well made bull, with super conformation’, Blackford Revel 24 (P) ET will hopefully be destined for Stirling in October 2025. Taking the Reserve Junior Female title was the March 2024 born Blackford Raggiana (P) ET). Again an embryo calf sired by Heathbrow Important 17 (P) EX 93, this calf is out of Blackford Wagtail VG 86, a Kilbride Farm Strabane daughter. Blackford Wagtail’s progeny most notably includes the breed’s previous record priced bull, the 45,000gns bel Dhu Capercaillie.
Reserve Junior & Junior Female Champion Delfur Roxy
Reserve Senior Male Champion Delfur Pocket Rocket
Taking the Overall Reserve Junior Championship, and Junior Female Champion, was Delfur Roxy from Delfur Farms, Rothes, Aberlour. From a strong breeding line on both sides of the pedigree, this ten-month-old heifer is by Woodhall Instinct 17, and is out of Delfur Hells, a Clonagh Tiger gallant (ET) daughter. Woodhall Instinct has sired sons up to 16,000gns at Stirling, and Delfur Hells has been a terrific breeding female in the herd. It was another strong day for the Delfur team, and herd manager Garry Patterson, with Delfur Pocket Rocket also winning the Reserve Senior Male title. Taking the red ticket in the second class of bulls, Pocket Rocket is one of the first sons of the 28,000gns stock bull Islavale Magnum purchased at Stirling in October 2022. Described as ‘a modern type Simmental with a good top, and shape’, Delfur Pocket Rocket may be shown at LiveScot later this month before being aimed at the May Sale in Stirling next year. Prolific in the show ring, the Delfur team took the Reserve Senior Female Championship at Stars of the Future last year, and arrived at this event having won the Reserve Overall & Reserve Senior titles at the recent Simmental Youngstock Show at Carlisle.
Reserve Overall Senior & Reserve Senior Female Champion Coltfield Perfect
Winning the Reserve Senior Champion and Reserve Senior Female titles was Coltfield Perfect from the 4-breeding female herd of Cameron MacIver, Wester Coltfield, Forres, Moray. September 2023 born, Coltfield Perfect stood second in her class to the day’s Senior Champion and followed her through to take the Reserve position. This heifer, noted as being the standout from last year’s crop of Coltfield calves, first in her class at the Scottish Simmental National Show and was also first at Grantown Show. Her dam, Coltfield Katie, took Senior Female Champion at the Royal Highland Show in 2021. Coltfield Perfect is sired by Rockytop Invader who has bred very well in the herd with bulls selling 11,000gns. Moving forward, Coltfield Perfect will be put in-calf in the spring time and after calving, and all being well, will hopefully again be shown as a mature cow. Commenting generally, Cameron MacIver said: “We’ve had a great day and are delighted to win the Reserve Senior ticket. Stars of the Future is a terrific show that we like to support and it’s extremely well run. The cattle shown are just weaned, not pushed in any way, and we think it’s a real showcase for the Simmental breed.”
Senior Male Champion Newbiemains Priceless
Completing the Championship line up was the Senior Male Champion, Newbiemains Priceless from Jim & Patricia Goldie, Newbiemains Farm, Annan, Dumfriesshire. August 2023 born, Newbiemains Priceless is by Auchorachan Hercules 16 (ET) EX92, who has bred well since joining the herd in 2022, and is out of Newbiemains Lots’o’honey EX 91, a Skerrington Iceman 17 EX 95 daughter. Speaking afterwards Jim Goldie said: “We think Newbiemains Priceless is a really well-balanced bull, who walks very well, has great length and good breeding on both sides of his pedigree.” Provisional plans sees this bull being aimed at the Stirling Sale in February.
Young Handler Champion Jim Goldie
The show for the Goldie family, and Newbiemains Priceless, had started with a bang when, on the previous evening, there was a big win for Jim Goldie Junior who was crowned the show’s Overall Young Handler Champion, and won the Royal Smithfield Club trophy and clippers kindly sponsored by McCaskie’s. Through the competition, ‘wee Jim’ was handling Priceless. It was a great follow on from the Simmental Youngstock Show in the previous week at Carlisle and where Jim won the Junior Young Handler class.

- Denizes Phantom wins Senior Champion and Overall Supreme
- Reserve Overall Supreme is Delfur Phantom
- Denizes Herd wins Junior & senior Championship
- Springfield win Simmental Pairs
It was an ‘Impressive’ day for the Denizes herd of MA Barlow & Sons, Four Oaks, Ulnes, Nr Leyland, Lancashire who took a host of Championship honours at the Simmental Youngstock Show hosted by the North West Simmental Club and British Simmental Cattle Society, and held within the Borderway Agri Expo event at Carlisle on Friday 1st November.
In front of the judge for the day, Paul McDonald of the noted Coolcran herd, Tempo, Co Fermanagh, N Ireland, the 80 cow Denizes herd won both the Senior and Junior Championship before securing the Overall Supreme Championship. The sire of the Champion and both the section winners was the herd’s stock bull, and AI sire, Saltire Impressive whose progeny have sold up to 26,000gns to date.
Overall & Senior Champion Denizes Phantom
Having come through the third class of the day, and moving on to secure the Senior Championship, the day’s Overall Supreme came in the shape of the October 2023 born Denizes Phantom. Sired by Impressive this young bull, with a breed top 1% Maternal (Milk) figure of +13, is out of Denizes Trixi Belle 8. With a little track record behind him, Denizes Phantom, who will now be aimed at the February 2025 Stirling Sale, was a first prize winner in the summer at the Simmental English National Show held within the Royal Lancashire Show.
Commenting on his Supreme Champion, the judge Paul McDonald said: “This bull just immediately caught my eye when he came into his class. He’s stylish with a super head, is very correct, and walked extremely well. He has a bit of power to him, is a clean bull with good lines, and is very good over his plates. In my eyes a very worthy Champion and with every prospect to go on to be a breeder’s bull.”
Judge Paul McDonald
It was quite a day for the Denizes herd team of seven entries and amidst some strong competition from a quality entry of 60 catalogued Simmentals from eighteen breeders situated around the UK. A combination of prize winning and breeding the herd highlights included: Overall Supreme Champion; Senior Champion; Junior Champion; From their team of seven entries, four red tickets were secured; A further class was won by a Denizes bred animal, and two further first prizes were by Denizes sired animals. Quite a day, and with a connectivity in breeding five half sisters of the day’s Champion will be heading to the Simmental Next Generation IV Sale of Females also at Borderway, on Friday 6th December.
Speaking afterwards John Barlow said: “It’s been as good a day as we could ever have hoped for. This is the third time we’ve won the Overall Supreme at the Simmental Youngstock Show but the first time we’ve won both the Junior & Senior Championships on the same day. The Simmental Youngstock show just keeps going from strength to strength with the quality and number of entries, a real credit to the exhibitors, and its proving to be a terrific promotional platform for the breed and for forward Simmental sales.”
Reserve Senior & Reserve Overall Champion Delfur Phantom
Following on from their Championship winning Simmental Youngstock debut last year, Delfur Farms, Rothes, Aberlour were back in the prizes when winning the Overall Supreme Reserve and Reserve Senior Championship with the winner of the first class of the day Delfur Phantom. April 2023 born, this bull is by the 10,000gns Innerwick Ivor 17, a Curaheen Gold Digger son, and is out of Delfur Hetty, an Islavale Cassius daughter. A strong pedigree, Innerwick Ivor 17 is also the sire of Delfur Weigela M1 who was the breed’s Reserve Senior Female Champion at last year’s Stars of the Future Calf Show in Stirling, whilst Islavale Cassius is described as being a ‘great female breeder in the herd’. Of the Overall Reserve, the judge Paul McDonald said: “Again, this was another very modern Simmental bull. With size and power he had plenty of length, a good top, a great end and walked out really well.”
Junior Champion Denizes Rolls Royce
The Junior Champion was the winner of class four for bulls born on or between 1st January 2024 and 15th March 2024, and in the shape of Denizes Rolls Royce and from the Barlow team.

This February 2024 born calf is by the herd’s noted stock bull Ranfurly Impeccable 14 17 (ET) EX94, and is out of the homebred Grangewood Gretal’s Lyla VG87, a Grangewood Glenlivet daughter.

Robert the Bruces’s sire, the 8500gns Ranfurly Impeccable, is a previous breed Champion at the Royal Ulster Balmoral Show, and his progeny have met with considerable success at both sales and summer shows. In May this year an Impeccable son, Grangewood New Hope, was the 7200gns top price at Carlisle’s Simmental May Sale.
Pairs Springfield Perry & Pelle
The Simmental Youngstock Show has been a happy hunting ground for Gavin Brown, Springfield Farm, Penicuik having won an Overall Supreme; Reserve Supreme & Reserve Junior Championship; Overall Senior Championship and Overall Reserve in the last two years. Another title was secured this year when Springfield Perry and Springfield Pelle combined to win the Pairs Championship. These bulls, both sired by the herd’s noted sire Islavale Jabba, had stood second and third in their class respectively to the Overall Reserve Supreme. Both May 2023 born Springfield Perry is out of Springfield Izzy, whilst Springfield Pelle is out of Springfield Hils. First time exhibitors at the Simmental Youngstock Show was D&R Holdings, Low Bowhill Farm, Newmilns, Ayrshire and who took the Reserve in the Pairs Championship with their heifers Bowhill Poppy, and Bowhill Petal, both Pistyll Kingman daughters.
Junior Young Handler Jim Goldie
Senior Young Handler Owen Airey
A big mention also to two terrific Young Handlers classes that saw first prizes for both Jim Goldie Jnr, Newbie Mains Farm, Annan, Dumfries, and also for Owen Airey, Little Urswick, Ulverston.
Other class winners on the day came from the Crakeside herd of Nick Edmonson; the Braegarrie herd of DL & S Currie; the Urswick herd of Owen Airey; and the Newbiemains herd of Jim & Patricia Goldie.
There was a great atmosphere in the Simmental lines and around what was a large ringside audience. A huge thank you is extended to all of the breeders for again supporting this event in such great numbers and for putting on another terrific Simmental show case.
