What are they like as a breed?Have a look at the Lincoln Red's. Some impressive Bulls there. Hopefully will be watching on the Web a bit after 1.00pm to see how they do!!

@jamesy @west coast angus We are all very disappointed at how it went. I can not understand why people do not catch on to Red's. As said on the Suckler cow thread they are a very good maternal breed, quiet, easy to handle, calve relatively easily, are good mothers. live cheap. There are several herds already in Scotland. They are spread fairly widely to, Isle of Mull to Aberdeenshire, Fife and to Brae in the Shetlands, so they must be fairly hardy.

Limmy bulls were back £1200 decent clearance of 80% picked bulls sold ok but the rest seemed to struggle just a lack of money about just now and too much uncertainty!Is it just reds prices that are down? Got s feeling the price in general for bulls will be down the way be beef job is and the uncertainty of brexit?

The limmys at Stirling gives a better idea of the commercial demand than the Carlisle sale as generally not as many inflated priced breeders bulls bought by herds with with large budgets with money generated out with agriculture.Wouldnt be too worried about the limmys at stirling it's what happens at Carlisle for that breed that matters.
Charolais and Sims being the main event for Stirling .
Every small (numerically ) breed needs to create a niche for itself so there is a demand from commercial men as well as the breed enthusiasts.We are all very disappointed at how it went. I can not understand why people do not catch on to Red's.
Sold surprisingly well. Good clearance and average up£122 on year. Went better than expected considering the uncertainty in the jobWhat like were the AAs?

Have to agree to disagree on this one, the majority oflim bulls that sell at Carlisle will be going to a commercial home ..
The best bulls folk have to offer will be at Carlisle too . Stirling is very much a satellite sale for the limousin breed,don't get me wrong people still pay good money for a bull there but if those same animals were at Carlisle would they sell as well
I agree. But the Live Web cam from Stirling is infinitely better than the stop-start fuzzy version from Carlisle.
The benefit of using a Limousin, apart from it being a superior breed in every respect, is that there is an enormous choice of well bred bulls. For example, at Carlisle, before the sale, make a note of which bulls you don't want to buy, and there will still be plenty available to buy at 2500 to 3000 gns.
Hi have you been to a Stirling limmy sale lately, it used to be the case that most of the Scottish consignors took their best bulls to Carlisle, but now 90% of them now solely sell at Stirling, which has resulted in a better show & choice for the purchasers meaning a lot now just go to Stirling. The last time I was at Carlisle a lot of the bulls were short thick set bulls with big ends & very little growth, they wouldn’t sell at Stirling!Have to agree to disagree on this one, the majority oflim bulls that sell at Carlisle will be going to a commercial home ..
