By my reckoning (and my maths was never quite that good at school), the Newstart dispersal has just grossed 316,000gns. I’d like to say a big congratualtions to David and Mary and wish all the buyers a great deal of success. Although the word on the ringside is that Tansy, Viyella, Viper and possibly three [...]
Having had a more than successful show history alongside the likes of Upsydaisy and Viyella, the Newstart stock bull Greenhill Viper has sold for 20,000gns over the phone. Following that was a 12,000gns call to secure Newstart Buchanan, a Viper son out of Sarkley Nellie. Topping the served and maiden heifers section of the Newstart [...]
Another with an impressive show record to match her stature was Newstart Viyella who has gone through at 18,000gns. This Woodhouse Pugh daughter out of Rachels Stella (previously sold for 13,000gns) has a breeding value of +40 and was knocked down to a bidder on the phone. Also selling on the phone was her heifer [...]
Knocking down to Sussex-based Brian Baker of the Wealden herd (who could have been buying on behalf of someone else), Rivermead Rosebud sells for 22,000gns.

Following that jaw dropping call of 41,000gns, Newstart Vashti has gone through at 3000gns, while her Raysonhall Treker bull calf has sold for 1000gns. Shortly after that the impressive pedigree behind Newstart Vieille has meant she has sold with her Newstart Apollo heifer calf at foot for 4000gns. By Woodhouse Pugh she is out of [...]
Now the one we were all waiting for – the Royal Show Interbreed Champion Newstart Upsydaisy has just knocked down for wait for it…..41,000gns. I’t’s not confirmed yet but it looks like Mary Beeney has bought her to stay at home with her daughter Mary Cormack. I know who my money is on for under [...]
One of my favourite lots, Newstart Uptowngirl has just gone through at 9000gns, while her bull calf by Grahams Poncho has just gone through at 3500gns. Uptowngirl is another Nellie daughter, again by Iceman and is a maternal sister to the previously sold 20,000gns Newstart Tansy. Just following that was a call of 5000gns for [...]

Anticipation is likely to be mounting in the minds of many pedigree Limousin breeders this morning regarding Mary and David Cormack’s Newstart dispersal.
