The British Simmental Cattle Society sale at Harrison & Hetherington’s Borderway Mart takes place on December 3. Called the Simmental Next Generation Sale, the new fixture will be for all classes of pedigree Simmental females, with a further section for pedigree Simmental Weaned Calves born in the 2021 year. The British Simmental Cattle Society’s president, Stewart Stronach said that the timing was ‘just right’ for the breed to introduce a high-profile society sale of pedigree females and with the new dynamic of a section of weaned calves. He said: “It is the aim that this fixture can quickly establish itself to be a showcase sale for the Simmental breed that provides the quality, performance and genetics for ‘next generation’ cornerstone cattle in herds across the UK.
Exported: Newbiemains Jax THE demand for British Simmental genetics abroad has seen a further export of four young Simmental bulls to an AI centre in Italy. Three bulls from the Newbiemains herd of Jim and Patricia Goldie, Newbie Mains Farm, Annan, along with a further bull from the Auchorachan herd of D&R Durno & Sons, Auchorachan, Glenlivet, Ballindalloch, Banffshire, were exported in late September. The bulls have been purchased by the US based Horizon Genetics and, following the first collection, the semen is destined for use in the US market with further collections destined for China. Having initially seen videos and pictures of British Simmentals online and through social media, representatives of Horizon genetics then came to view stock at farms in England and Scotland last year.
