DAVID and Penny Evans of Tree Bridge Aberdeen-Angus, Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough, celebrated a sale of 5500gns for their prize winning Aberdeen-Angus bull, at the Society’s Official Autumn Sale at Stirling.
The March 2013-born Tree Bridge Presley is by Abberton Dazzle out of the home bred Tree Bridge Polly Pride.
He was supreme champion at the 2013 North East England Calf Show 2013, and this year won the progeny pairs competition at the Great Yorkshire Show as a yearling bull and won the yearling bull class at the Society’s junior national championships at the Livestock Event, NEC. He was reserve champion at Westmorland and supreme champion at Stokesley Show.
Mr Evans said: “Presley has been a stand out from a young age and we’ve been pleased with his growth, natural fleshing, locomotion and breed character, so much so that we have taken semen off him. Coupled with this breed character is a great set of performance figures, including a self replacing index of +50 and a milk figure of +11.
Having stood third in a strong class in Stirling, he then sold to noted suckler calf and commercial producer Terry Coghill, Orkney.
