 Maxtone, who obtained a patent to bear the name and

In its history of nearly sixty years, the Redgorton 

 herd has had the distinction and the privilege of being 

 under the direction of two men, both masters of their 

 business the late Mr James Fenwick and his son, the 

 present agent, Mr James Fenwick. The herd was 

 founded at Cultoquhey in 1861 with the Keir cow 

 Christina by John o' Groat, her pedigree tracing back

 from the Huntingtower cow, won the silver trophy

 at Redgorton, is from Fairy Queen 5th by the Sittyton 

 Greyfriar (46,466). She was bought at the Cairn- 

 brogie dispersion sale in 1886. Many members of this 

 fine family have been exported to the Argentine and
