(115,277), out of Sanquhar Zoe 27th by Collynie Grand 

 Knight (119,549). The stock bulls are high class. 

 At the Birmingham autumn sale of 1918 Mr Shields 

 took out of the ring, at 1500 gs., the champion bull 

 Shenley Colonel, a very handsome red Augusta by a

 very high price, the dark roan Fairlawne Clipper 

 King, a double Clipper, the pick of Mr Cazalet's 

 calves, sire Collynie Clipper King (135,816), dam by 

 Violet's Victory, grandam by Corner Stone (68,406). 

 He made an important selection further from the 

 Hon. Frederick Wrench in Baron Groat 2nd, a beauti- 

 ful red by the noted Eed Baron (112,982). 



At Dolphingstone the female animals are left in 

 the more sheltered fields until about Christmas, and 

 all the young cattle are out for a portion of the day 

 during winter. Two-year-old heifers not in calf are 

 never under a roof. Young bulls in preparation for

 under modern conditions.
