TUTOR LEADS THE WAY

The long journey north paid dividends for London based breeders E & A Stubbs when their bull Totteridge Tutor sold for 4,400gns on Friday 12th March 2004. By their home bred bull Nathan and out of an Apricot bred daughter, Tutor sold locally to G Johnston & Son of Orton Hall, Carlisle.

The youngest bull in the sale, and the event's Overall Male Champion, Doncombe Ularit, from David Knight of Woodlands Farm, Nr. Chippenham, sold for 3,800gns to S T Gardner of Fairsnape, Nr. Preston. Ularit is sired by the herd's stock bull Druk Lance, and is bred back to a Blackwars daughter.
