Lord George Kinnaird's herd, to which reference is made in the 

 historic section, was dispersed on 3rd October 1876 under utterly 

 wretched weather conditions. In his after - luncheon speech his 

 lordship stated that he had been chiefly indebted at the outset to 

 Mr Richard Booth and Mr Rose of Cothara. On the female side his 

 principal purchases had been from Earl Spencer, Lord Huntingfield, 

 Mr Miller of Ballumbie, Mr Grant Duff, and Mr Mark S. Stewart. 

 The stock bull at the time of the sale was King Brian (34 308), on 

 hire from Killerby. Among those present at the dispersal were Mr 

 Thos. C. Booth of Warlaby, Mr J. B. Booth of Killerby, Mr Chandos 

 Pole-Gell, Mr Donald Fisher, Colonel Williamson, Mr Bethune, Mr 

 Andrew Mitchell, Mr John Outhwaite, Mr R. A. Arklay, and Mr 

 Young, Keir. Prices for cows and heifers ranged mainly from 25
