Comprising the complete dispersal of the entire, first-class, old-established TULLITHWAITE Herd, the property of Messrs J.H Willison & Co (Underbarrow, Kendal). This very fine herd has a 55 year history of producing top class cattle, that have an enviable reputation for doing well in other herds. The milking herd of 117 features 11 Excellent & 38 Very Good cows, with a further 24 scored GP. 24 served heifers due winter/spring and over 70 recently served / maiden heifers make up the young stock section with a young bull from the Wendy family. The NMR average is over 9,000kg ( over 30 have topped 10,000kg) with a current SCC of 180. Cubicle housed and 2x milked in the herringbone parlour, the herd is currently averaging 32.4kg daily. 60 head calve between August and November providing plenty of fresh calved stock in full profit. Superb udders with sound legs & feet are features of Tullithwaite cattle and the medium sized, capacious cows fit well into any system. The large groups of young stock look in splendid form and represent a great opportunity for the future. The well known foundation families such as Cissie, Bunty, Wendy & Milkmaid with the up and coming Brise family form the backbone of the breeding with noted sires such as Lucente, Allen, Talent, Shaker, Cousteau, Sinatra & Principal amongst the cows and Phil, Patriot, Mr Sam & Dictator with the Shottle son Tullithwaite Spaceman sires of young stock. Bolivia Allen, Talent, Buckeye, Spaceman & Cogent Loader are the main service bulls. These are really good cattle with an excellent health record and are sold without reserve and with high recommendation. Also 6,200litre Mueller Bulk Tank & Westfalia Out-of parlour feeders.
