Thrunton Ranger at 8,000gns Firhills Rex at 7,000gns Thrunton Rampart at 6,200gns
THRUNTON RANGER from the herd
of J H C Campbell & Sons in Alnwick,
Northumberland. Ranger was sired
by Thrunton Nevada, who is a trait
leader in both 400- and 600-day weight
EBVs, and his dam is Thrunton Laurel,
a daughter of Thrunton Gladiator. This
charming young lad was snapped up
by DRF Farmers Ltd. of Fraserburgh,
Aberdeenshire.
Taking the next highest price of
7,000gns was FIRHILLS REX, a
17-month-old bred by D Muirhead
of Arbroath, Angus. Rex has quite
the lineage behind him, having been
sired by former Carlisle Reserve
Supreme Champion Caylers Napoleon.

Additionally, his dam Firhills Bertha
goes back to Moyness Statesman,
who won Senior Male Champion at
the Scottish National Charolais Show
in 2005. Rex will be journeying over
to Newburgh, Fife, under the care of
winning bidder Logie Farm Partnership.
Selling for the next highest price of
6,200gns was THRUNTON RAMPART,
another Thrunton Nevada son from J H
C Campbell & Sons. Rampart’s dam is
another Thrunton Gladiator daughter:
Thrunton Layla. This young 17-monthold
grabbed the attention of H
Adamson & Son, who won the bid and
will be taking him back to their holding
in Newport-on-Tay, Fife.

The hammer came down three times
for the next highest price of 6,000gns,
firstly for GLENERNAN NORTHSTAR,
sold by joint owners J H C Campbell &
Sons of Alnwick, Northumberland and
D A & S M Miller of Wigton, Cumbria.
Northstar was born to Glenernan
Fyne, a Mistral Ben daughter, and
he was sired by the 17,000gns Elgin
Jagger. Winning the bid and taking
Northstar home is Kincraigie Farms of
Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire.
Next to reach 6,000gns was class
winner NEWLOGIE RECOMMEND,
another Maerdy Morwr son bred by
AJR Farms. Like his brother Realdream,
Recommend’s dam Newlogie Opale
also goes back to French bloodlines,
being a daughter of Mannequin.
This 20-month-old will be making
the journey down to Rushden,
Northamptonshire, to the home of
winning bidder L D Carr & Partner.
The final bull to sell for 6,000gns
was LOCHEND RALF, a 17-month-old
from the herd of J W Millar in Port of
Menteith, Stirlingshire. Ralf was sired
by the easy-calving Gretnahouse Ming,
and his dam is Lochend Madge, a
daughter of the popular AI sire Davally
Illusion. I Dickson won the bid for this
young lad, and he will be heading over
to Scalpsie Farm in the Isle of Bute.
