OBBA Show and Sale of Bulls
2026-01-28
History was well and truly made in Orkney Auction Mart today with a tremendous show of Orkney bred Bulls making record breaking prices not once, not twice, but on eight separate occasions. A real credit to the Bull breeders for turning out such a high-quality show of stock, and great to see the local farmers supporting the breeders on their own doorstep. The judging today was very ably carried out by Mr Colin Sinclair, Ness, Sandwick.

Breed Averages
Charolais av 7,766 gns
Simmental av 11,000 gns
Aberdeen Angus av 6,000 gns
Limousin av 7,666 gns
Aged Bulls av 2,875 gns

First in the judging ring was the British Blondes with Champion being awarded to lot 1 “Grutha Voldemort” bred by D D & J A Scott, Grutha, South Ronaldsay. This bull was unsold at the time of sale but found a new home after the sale.

Next in the judging ring was the Charolais breed with the overall champion being awarded to lot 5 “Baillieston Virgil” bred by W R Baillie, Biggings, Toab. This bull created a lot of interest when in the ring and soon smashed the Orkney Charolais record price achieving 10,000 gns purchased by West Brough, Sanday. (The previous record was 7,500 gns). The reserve Champion Charolais was awarded to lot 3 “Dounby Vincent” bred by Spence, Norton, Dounby. This bull went on to realise 4,800 gns to D P Nicolson, Quoys, South Ronaldsay. A special mention must go to Backakelday Farm, Holm for achieving a 2nd top price of 8,500 gns for lot 4 “Backakelday Vicount” purchased by D J & M Alan, Durran Mains, Castletown.

SENIOR CHAROLAIS
1st Lot 3 “Dounby Vincent” from Spence, Norton, Dounby 4,800 gns to Quoys, South Ronaldsay.
2nd Lot 2 “Dounby Unite” from Spence, Norton, Dounby Unsold

INTERMEDIATE CHAROLAIS

JUNIOR CHAROLAIS

Next in the ring was the highlight of the day which featured a tremendous entry of 5 Simmental Bulls. The previous record price for Simmentals was 6,000 gns, However this year we sold Simmentals for 13,500gns, 12,000gns, 10,500gns, 8,000gns and 7,500gns. These prices speak volumes about the quality of stock that was on offer. The Champion Simmental was awarded to lot 11 “Isbister Ron” bred by A T Rendall, Old Hall, Stromness. This Bull created a lot of brisk bidding and achieved a new record price of 10,500 gns purchased by Vetquoy, Dounby. This new record price resulted in the sale room bursting into the sound of applause, but little did we know there would be two dearer Simmental Bulls to follow. The reserve Champion Simmental was awarded to lot 10 “Swannay Ringleader” from Ryan Morgan, The Bungalow, Swannay Farm which realised 7,500 gns to A & A Muir, Hermisgarth, Sanday. A special mention must go to A T Rendall for producing two more record breakers with Lot 7 “Isbister Playboy” selling for 12,000 gns to F & T Moar, Withaquoy, Holm and Lot 8 “Isbister Ricky” selling for the top price of 13,500 gns to West Brough, Sanday.

Next into the ring was the Aberdeen Angus Bulls with Champion being awarded to lot 15 “Burnside Braveheart” from P M Harcus, Messigate, Tankerness. This Bull generated a lot of brisk bidding and sold for 6,000 gns to W R & M G Eunson, Steaquoy, Shapinsay. Reserve Champion Aberdeen Angus was awarded to lot 12 “Burnside Epic” shown by P M Harcus, Messigate, Tankerness. This bull was unsold at the sale.

Next up was the Limousin breed with a strong entry of 3 Bulls forward. Champion Limousin was awarded to lot 18 “Dwarmo Victory” shown by M & R Cursiter, Arwick, Evie. This Bull went on to break the Limousin record and sold for 9,000 gns purchased by S M Twatt, Lingro, St Ola. Reserve Champion Limousin was awarded to lot 16 “Backakelday Vintage” from Backakleday Farm, Holm. This bull created a lot of interest and broke the record price once again achieving 9,500 gns to Tormiston Farms, Stenness.
