Rawburn Aberdeen Angus

Oakchurch Field Marshall K143 has been purchased for an undisclosed five-figure sum to join the Rawburn herd. Field Marshall is a son of the exceptional US bull Ankonian Elixir 100 and out of a full sister of Netherton Fabulous Cruz. Field Marshall has been purchased to carry on a similar job to his predecessor Rawburn Lord Ross and add superior carcass quality to the herd. Take note of his name as we think this calf will have a huge impact!

Rawburn Edge J983 has been sold in a private deal to top Border herd Eastfield. Edge, who is the highest Terminal Index bull ever in the UK (TI 55), has been purchased to carry on the exceptional job that has already been done by Rawburn Rochester. Rawburn have retained a half semen interest in the bull.

Rawburn are delighted to be working with the top Canadian herd Willabar having secured the European rights to their senior herd sire CCL Dateline. Not since Hoff Limited Edition have we seen a bull in North America with the immense phenotype of CCL Dateline. With some very impressive performance figures we feel this bull will play a huge part in the future of the Rawburn herd. The first calves from this bull will be born at Rawburn in 2011.

Rawburn are delighted to announce the purchase of Mosston Muir Eline H205 in partnership with the Logan family of the Galawater herd. The heifer was purchased privately from Mr Tom Rennie, Forfar just moments before she was placed Senior Female Champion at the Black Beauty Bonanza.

Mosston Muir Eline H205, is a daughter of Rawburn Transformer and out of the top show cow Mosston Muir Elsie. She is in the top 1% of the breed for both her Terminal Index (36) and Self Replacing Index (54). “Rarely do you see a heifer with such power and performance remaining as feminine and correct at this heifer,” said Mr Robertson (Judge if the Black Beauty Bonanza).

We bought this heifer not only for her power and style but also for the calving ease on her Dam’s side. Her maternal Grand Sire is the Denver Champion FAR Krugerrand 410H a bull that combines low birth weight with some of the most accelerated growth in the breed.

Purchased for £25,200 and this years Perth Bull Sales high seller Lockerley Legolas G850 has joined the Rawburn Herd. We are delighted to be working in equal partnership on this bull with F J Fraser & Son, Forfar. Legolas combines muscle, power and structural correctness in an awesome package. His performance figures boast some of the highest growth figures in the UK and backed up with great calving figures it is not hard to see why it was important for Rawburn to buy this bull. We hope to have semen available for sale early in 2010 for the UK and International markets.

Rawburn are proud to present one of the most exciting bull calves we have ever found in Canada. This massive son of Quaker Hills Objective backs up his looks with some very impressive performance figures. Rawburn are delighted to be working in partnership with BJ Cattle Company in Saskatchewan on this very promising young bull. Look out for his first calves in 2010!
