The next major win was
for Tom and Ruby at Norfolk
Show, where they took Male
Champion, Junior Champion,
and went on to take Reserve

Hill Iceman. Donald and
Kirsty won the January-March
2017 class with their heifer St
Trinian’s Imogen.
The English National

2018 SALES
Newark sale in March saw
the Hollingsworth family take
reserve female champion with
Midhope Glamorous.
Leading Ladies sale at
Carlisle saw victory for the
Hollingsworth family, as they
took Champion with their
heifer Midhope Holy Light
out of the much noted cow
Midhope Bright Light.
The October sales at Stirling
saw Tom and Ruby taking two
red tickets with both of their
bulls, Scotland Hill IBN and
Invader. Both bulls went on to
sell well, the youngest making
10,000 guineas.
It’s been a challenging
year to say the least, but the
members have achieved a lot
in their own right.
Here’s to 2019 and the
opportunities it brings.
Scotland Hill Invader sold for
10,000gns to Pitgaveny farm.
