Photo taken October 2023. The day we saw Rupert we bought him. I was advised many years ago the best time to purchase your next stock bull is when you see him. Rupert is from a tremendous young cow at Runleymill, who was classified as a first calved heifer at VG86. Her mother and grandmother at Sandwick are both classified as excellent with scores of EX94 and EX93 respectively. I am sure Rupert’s mother will classify as excellent as she matures into a cow. Rupert covered all of our cows as a yearling as we had hoped. We are very much looking forward to seeing Rupert's first calves in the spring of 2024.

Myostatin Status: Zero

Photo taken September 2019. Major is certainly one of the best ET bulls we have ever been lucky enough to breed. He will be a super outcross sire with proven beef bloodlines in both Canada, Australia and north America. Both his sire Crooked Post Stockman and dam Waukaru Melita Rose have proved thier ability to perform worldwide. We used Major selectively as a yearling during 2019. He has run with all of our cows this year and has proved himself to be a working bull who is a very quiet well mannered. We are retaining his full ET sister here at the farm, Wenmar Melita Rose M164, along with two heifer calves from this year, and hopefully more from next year.

Photo taken September 2016. We first noticed Hercules at the Royal Highland show in 2015 as a yearling. He stood out with tremendous presence and style, coupled with good locomotion and growth. We were fortunate to purchase him at Stirling in February 2016. He had grown on very well and retained all of his style. He has been used on some of our smaller cows to add size and style; his calves are good and everything we had hoped for. His daughters in particular are tremendous; his bull calves tend to need time to develop and should not be judged too early. We have a small quantity of semen available. See our genetics section for details.

Photo taken September 2014. Used in the herd during 2014. We purchased Dolomite privately as a reserve bull to work alongside Beefeater. He was a moderately sized bull with good locomotion and a quiet nature. Dolomite's mother is from one of the best female lines at Milerston. We used him extensively on our dark Roan and red cows to add some colour to our calf crop. His calves are average size and easily calved with good shape. He has also added the colour as hoped. We will retain one of his sons within the herd to use selectively in 2016 and 2017.

Photo taken on 11/09/2011. Used in the herd during 2010 and 2011. Awesome was purchased privately in 2009, being an ET calf we were able to view his siblings. They were a tremendous group of yearlings. Awesome was not the largest bull but could be likened to a table, a very good top line with a leg in each corner. He had excellent locomotion and left us some tremendous calves. His heifers have been retained in our herd and are making very good cows.
