Follow on Google News | Darling breeds of May come to Stirling for United Auctions' one-day Bull SaleBy: JK Consultancy The annual event takes place on Monday 6th May 2013 at the Stirling Agricultural Centre, the HQ of Scotland’s leading livestock auctioneers. And its compact format, in which pedigree cattle are shown and sold in one day, has real appeal to customers at this busy time of year. It is run in conjunction with a commercial beef breeding sale, which includes 500 store cattle and a show and sale of Simmental cross females. The pedigree show will be judged by three young judges from the next generation of pedigree cattle breeders. While Stuart Barclay from Aberdeen, John Barlow from Leyland and Michael Norman from Carlisle have experience at summer shows, this will be their first appearance at an official Bull Sale. For the second year running, the event has been selected to stage a sale of Longhorns, one of the UK’s most ancient breeds. It also welcomes a new sponsor - Hendricks Insurance (http://www.bcshendricks.co.uk/ David Leggat, Executive Chairman of UA, said: “It’s a real pleasure to see the younger generation of judges making their mark at an official bull sale and we’re delighted to host the Longhorns’ sale for the second, consecutive year. “The compact structure of the event with the accompanying commercial sale makes for a busy day with something for everyone. The Charolais, Simmental, Limousin, Aberdeen Angus, Beef Shorthorn and Longhorn breeds are all sold under the auspices of their respective breed societies.
