Sire: Hockenhull Waterloo
Dam: Blackford Walnut

Blackford Hurricane 16 was purchased at the Stirling Bull Sales for 9000gns. A son of the 18,000gns Hockenhull Waterloo, Hurricane has a terrific pedigree to back up his looks being out of a great Kilbride Farm Strabane daughter. 

A bull with terrific presence, length and squareness, we can’t wait to see how he knits with the daughters of Clonagh World Class in particular.

Sire: Auroch Deuter
Dam: Langmose Gabi P

Purchased from Carsten Edrup’s renowned Langmose herd in a private deal, Ludvig has been introduced to cover a growing demand for polled bulls from the commercial producer.  

A super smooth, long, red bull, Ludvig is without doubt the easiest fleshed polled bull we have ever seen, and he has exceptional feed conversion and growth rates.
 

Purchased in Stirling at the October 2016 sale for 9000gns having stood junior champion under judge Vikki Wood, Derrycallaghan Gambler joins the stock sire line up at Sacombe.

Bred by Messrs Stubbs and Burleigh, Northern Ireland, Gambler has a pedigree packed full of performance being that he is by Kilbride Farm Delboy and is out of the Popes Laird daughter, Corskie Vesna and his sister, Beauty, is the mother of a Stirling champion. He also carries a TPI of +84 and a SRI of +91. He was purchased to join the team due to him being incredibly correct and stylish and in the hope that he will knit well with World Class daughters.

• Sire: Curahen Bandit
• Dam: Islavale Tarka

Fagan carries a TPI of +90 and a SRI of +110, along with an eye muscle area of +4.3. He’s a well grown bull with great colour, character and correctness and will hopefully make a great addition to the herd for William and World Class daughters. His pedigree is packed with performance and being an outcross line for the Sacombe herd, we’re looking forward to seeing his progeny. 

Fagan was reserve junior champion at Stirling in October 2015 and was purchased for 11,000gns. 

Purchased in partnership with the Keeldrum herd, we're delighted to announce Wolfstar Flying Scotsman as our new junior herd sire in the Sacombe herd. 

Purchased for 17,000gns in Stirling in February, Scotsman is a son of Team Celtic and is out of the Starline Klassic daughter Wolfstar Tequilla. He carries a TSI of +76 and a SRI of +82, combined with phenomenal growth for his age, a fantastic top line and loin and depth throughout his second thigh.

He's an exciting prospect for the herd and we look forward to seeing how his progeny perform. 

• Sire: Kilbride Farm Newry
• Dam: Clonagh Posh Klowna

Purchased at the Clonagh Production Sale for €6600, World Class is a Kilbride Farm Newry son out of Clonagh Posh-Klowna, who is a daughter of Anatrim Jacob. He was purchased to add power to the herd and on purchase we were particularly impressed with his growth rate for his age, his correctness and power in his backend.

Having breed fantastically well for us, as well as held a glittering show career which included winning the coveted Burke Trophy, we were delighted to sell him back to his breeders Garrett and Lyndsey Behan where he will hopefully work out his days back on the Emerald Isle. 

• Sire: Sacombe Nijinsky N68
• Dam: Sacombe Louise-Oma

Originally sold in Stirling to Ann and Tony Jukes for their Swallowhill herd, we decided to buy back a half share in this bull as we had huge success with his sire Nijisky and its unfortunate we don't have more of his daughters!

Swallowhill have their first calves hitting the ground now and we look forward to calving ours in the spring 2013.

• Sire: Popes Laird
• Dam: Grangewood Sundial

Having stood second in his class, William was bought at the Perth Bull sales in Stirling for 11,000gns. He is a Popes Laird son and is out of the Blackford Falcon daughter Grangewood Sundial.

We first admired William at the Royal Show where he stood first in his class. He has a calving ease of +9.3, a terminal sire index of +61 and a self replacing index of +78.

He has proved himself as an incredibly consistent and successful herd sire and has left both females and males of an incredibly high standard. He has since been sold privately to Gerald Smith’s Drumsleed herd due to the large volume of daughters retained in the herd.
