SIMMENTAL POPULARITY RISES
A sound underlying commercial trade ensured an increase in averages for the Simmental breed at Perth this week. With more farmers looking to breed their own replacements to keep a handle on their health status and the need for a quick growing, easy to handle animal to tie in with the new Single Farm Payment, confidence is steadily growing in the Simmentals. Following a very successful sale of females the previous day, the bulls took centre stage and continued a steady trade which without any “high flyers” produced a healthy £3,404 average up £507 on the previous year when 128 were sold. 118 of the 136 bulls forward found new homes giving a clearance rate of 87%.
The Overall Champion at the pre sale show, judged by Michael Durno, was the Junior Champion Innerwick Renown from Lindsay and Dorothy Moffat, Innerwick, Dunbar. A son of Gortin Larry and out of Innerwick Lily, by Innerwick Jubilee, this outstanding young bull sold for the top price of the day of 8000gns to Messrs W. & G. Strachan, Hill of Balmaud, King Edward, Banff.
Earlier in the sale the senior bull Dirnanean Reformer by Dirnanean Nickel from Findlay McGowan sold to Tillymaud Farms, Tillymaud, Udny, Ellon for 7,500gns.
Mr. G. A. Francis and family, travelled all the way from Abergorlech, Carmarthen to purchase Lisglass Romeo for 7200gns, the Reserve Junior Champion from J.L & C.J Weatherup, 48 Lisglass Rd, Irish Hill, Ballyclare, Northern Ireland to join their Pystyll Herd.
A strong show of bulls from Gerald & Morag Smith at Drumsleed, Fourden, Laurncekirk, sold to a top of 6,500gns for Drumsleed Royale, when he was bought by Messrs R & P McAlister, Langalbuinoch, Kingarth, Isle of Bute. He was matched later in the day when Messrs Ian Maclean Livestock, Kent, paid 6,500gns for Blackford Runrig from Billy & Anne McPherson,, Blackford Farm, Croy, Inverness.
A recent Simmental promotion held in Orkney also resulted in 14 bulls finding new homes on the Island.
Judge: Mr Michael Durno
