264 SHORTHORNS 



at Edinburgh in 1910, are of this family. A Sittyton 

 Dairymaid from Beaufort produced Polmaise Julia, 

 the second-prize two-year-old heifer at the Stirling 

 Highland of 1909. The Lady Dorothy family has 

 done remarkably well at Polmaise. The foundress 

 was Lady Dora, a Royal Mint heifer acquired 

 from Jackstown in 1909. A Queen of Rothes was 

 added from Ballachraggan in 1911. One of the most 

 fortunate of purchases was made in the same season 

 at the Pirriesmill dispersion sale. That was Eliza 

 32nd by Golden Clipper. A noted bull of this family 

 was Polmaise Quartermaster, the second-prize winner 

 and reserve champion at Perth in 1915. Recent 

 purchases of females include a Secret from Mains of 

 Murthly in 1913, a Brawith Bud from Ballachraggan 

 in 1915, an Orange Blossom from West Fingask in 

 the same year, a Clipper from the Messrs Young in 

 1917, a Broadhooks at the same time from Mains of 

 Sanquhar, and an Augusta from Boquhan in 1918. 

 The Clipper had for sire Redgorton Dandy, the 

 highest - priced bull exported to the Argentine in 

 1917. 



Stock bulls have been selected with great dis- 

 crimination. The most successful have been Record 

 of Sanquhar ; the Beaufort - bred Millicent Chief 

 (96,096), of the Julia or Dairymaid family ; Proud 

 Massa (109,776), bred at Hean Castle and by the 

 Colly nie Proud Champion (10,096) ; and the present 

 stock bull, the white Redgorton Dictator (133,019). 

 The herd has been specially indebted to Millicent 

 Chief and Proud Massa.
