Aberdeen March<br />
Charolais maintains its<br />
reputation at Aberdeen<br />
Judge: Liam Muir<br />
Charolais bulls had a modest but<br />
high-quality presence at Aberdeen<br />
& Northern Marts’ Spring Sale of<br />
Pedigree Bulls on 2 March <strong>2022</strong>. The<br />
sale saw 8 bulls find new homes, to an<br />
average price of £6,602 – an increase<br />
of £1601 over the previous year – and<br />
a 73% clearance.<br />
Securing the top price of the day, at<br />
8,500gns, was 1st-in-class AULTMORE<br />
REPUTATION from the herd of W<br />
Patterson & Son of Keith, Banffshire.<br />
Reputation is out of Aultmore Lassie,<br />
a homebred daughter of Aultmore<br />
Gladiator, and was sired by the easycalving<br />
Blelack Immaculate. Reputation<br />
will be making the trip back to Forfar,<br />
Angus, under the care of winning<br />
bidder P Cooper & Son.<br />
The hammer came down twice for the<br />
next highest price of 7,000gns, firstly<br />
for the day’s Charolais and Overall<br />
Pedigree Champion ELGIN ROBOCOP.<br />
Robocop was bred by R A Milne of<br />
Elgin, Morayshire, and was sired by<br />
Caylers Noah. His dam is Elgin Megan,<br />
a daughter of the 11,000gns Woodpark<br />
Elgin. Taking the day’s Champion home<br />
is winning bidder J & J Henders of<br />
Dingwall, Ross-shire.<br />
Following close behind Robocop, also<br />
at a final price of 7,000gns, was the<br />
Reserve Charolais Champion ELRICK<br />
ROYAL, from M J Massie’s herd in<br />
Ellon, Aberdeenshire. This 23-monthold<br />
was sired by the French-born easy<br />
calver Maerdy Gouverneur, and his<br />
dam is Elrick Jackie – a daughter of the<br />
16,000gns Thrunton Fearless. Royal<br />
caught the attention of J Anderson,<br />
who will be taking him home to their<br />
herd in Thurso, Caithness.<br />
Reaching a final price of 6,000gns was<br />
2nd-in-class AUCHINCRIEVE RIVALDO,<br />
a 21-month-old from the herd of C M<br />
McCombie in Huntly, Aberdeenshire.<br />
Rivaldo is a homebred bull, sired by<br />
Auchincrieve Manhattan and out of<br />
Auchincrieve Instagram, a daughter<br />
of the 26,000gns Balbithan Vespasian.<br />
Rivaldo caught the eye of the day’s<br />
judge, W S L Muir, and will be joining<br />
him on the lengthy trip back to his<br />
holding in Stromness, Orkney.<br />
Two bulls managed to secure the next<br />
highest price of 5,800gns, the first of<br />
which was 22-month-old LETTOCH<br />
RINNES from C Stuart of Ballindalloch,<br />
Banffshire. Rinnes was sired by the<br />
11,000gns Balthayock Imperial, and<br />
his dam is Lettoch Marci - a Killadeas<br />
Dwane daughter. Winning the bid this<br />
time was A K Strathdee, who will be<br />
introducing Rinnes to their herd in<br />
Buckie, Banffshire.<br />
Next to reach 5,800gns was<br />
INVERLOCHY ROMEO, a 21-monthold<br />
from the herd of J Irvine & Son of<br />
Ballindalloch, Banffshire. This strapping<br />
young lad was sired by the 12,000gns<br />
Caylers Napoleon, and he was born to<br />
Ballindalloch Nora, a daughter of the<br />
11,000gns Blelack Giggsey. Like Rivaldo<br />
before him, Romeo will also be making<br />
the journey to Stromness, Orkney, to<br />
the herd of winning bidder W S L Muir.<br />
Coming in at the next highest price<br />
of 5,200gns was another from C M<br />
McCombie’s herd: AUCHINCRIEVE<br />
RONALDO. This 22-month-old was sired<br />
by the 10,000gns Mornity Nimbus,<br />
and his dam is Auchincrieve Marylou,<br />
a daughter of Olrig Highwayman.<br />
Taking Ronaldo home is winning<br />
bidder J Riddel & Co of Inverurie,<br />
Aberdeenshire.<br />
Finally, selling for 5,000gns, was<br />
21-month-old NEWLOGIE RENOWN<br />
from AJR Farms in Ellon, Aberdeenshire.<br />
This impressive young bull was sired<br />

title of Supreme Champion at both<br />
the Royal Highland Show and Great<br />
