HERD NOTICES 303 



Petrie Hay Keith ; a Broadhooks from Throsk ; a 

 Lovely and a Jilt from Tilbouries ; a Goldie from 

 Corston ; a Kilblean Beauty from Dunglass ; a Clara 

 and a Lauretta from Mains of Murthly ; an Averne, 

 an Emmeline, and a Carnation from Ballechin ; a Miss 

 Ramsden from Bruceland ; a Julia or Dairymaid from 

 Pirriesmill ; a Regina from Collynie ; and a Waterloo 

 from Beaufort. The latest addition is Augusta Maisie, 

 a beautiful red yearling 520-gs. purchase from Mr A. J. 

 Marshall. The Elizas so much associated with Pirries- 

 mill have, on the whole, proved the most successful 

 in the herd, and they now lead in numbers. The 

 Carnation family produced the remarkably handsome 

 roan bull King George " Ca'ed maistly efter His 

 Majesty," as Michie confided to some one. King 

 George took first in the Perth older class of 1913, 

 and was sold at 720 gs., the highest price realised at 

 auction in Scotland that year. His sire was the red 

 Saphock-bred Broadhooks Earl (101,655). Bulls from 

 the herd have always done well at the Perth spring 

 sales and have passed into well-known herds at home 

 and abroad. Young female animals have been mostly 

 disposed of privately. At the Aberdeen October sale 

 of 1918 a few heifer calves were offered, and a Goldie 

 drew 450 gs., the average for four being 273. 



The stock bulls have been mainly from Collynie, 

 Uppermill, Saphock, Rothiebrisbane, and Cromley- 

 bank. Mr Wilson made a specially fortunate pur- 

 chase in the grand red bull Lancaster Royal (109,108), 

 bred by the late Mr John Marr and closely related to 

 the noted Collynie stock bull Knight of Lancaster,
