The British Simmental Review 2022

Stirling October
SALES
Dutton, Lancashire, for their noted Popes herd. Commenting, Vikki
Wood said: “This is just a dark red heifer with a lot of class and the
type of female that we feel we could breed from for progeny aimed
at the Stirling market.”
The Woods went on to purchase four heifers in all from Gavin Brown,
with Springfield Melody and Springfield Meg, being knocked down
for 4,800gns and 4,000gns respectively, and Springfield Magic at
2,600gns. Melody, a July 2021 born lass, is by the same sire as her
6,000gns shed mate Minstrel, Islavale Jabba, but this time bred
out of Springfield Imogen, who goes back to the Irish-born Shiloh
Freedom. Springfield Meg, who has been running with Kilbride Farm
Landmark, is sired by Team Celtic and is out of Springfield Ivory,
who also goes back to Shiloh Freedom. In the pre-sale show of bulls
the Springfield herd had one red ticket and went on to sell bulls at
5,500gns, 5,000gns and 4,000gns.
