Attila was imported as a yearling calf from France in September 2006 from Cathy Patureau, who has bred of a number of influential bulls used today in the UK for example Jacot, Rossignol, Rocky, Requin (Bailea Herd), Saphir (Emslies Herd), Silex (Dunlops), Paul (Glangwen Herd), Titan (Oddacres Herd) and Vivaldi who are all excelling in breeding cattle with exceptional shape.

Attila’s grandmother Delicieuse was also the grandmother of Requin, sire of Bailea Umandy.

Attila to date has sired less than 50 pedigree and commercial calves and already they are making a name for themselves (although the majority of them are still under a year old):

Poker Face sired by Attila out of a Belgian Blue cross Limousin cow and bred by Christopher Dick was sold to Melanie & Michael Alford at the Caledonian calf sale in September 2009 for £1500 (aged only 9 months).  Poker Face has since done exceptionally well for the Alford’s winning Baby Beef Champion at both the English Winter Fair and the Welsh Winter Fair in 2009, and Reserve Baby Beef Champion at the Scottish Winter Fair 2009.  She was described by the judge at the Welsh Winter Fair as “a tremendous heifer, showy and stylish and hard to fault”.

Lodge Dapper a son out of Lodge Smartie was shown successfully in the summer of 2009 winning first in a class of 10 at Stirling show, and second in a class of 14 at the Royal Highland Show.  He went on to sell for 4,500 gns at Carlisle in October 2009.

Lodge Esquire a son out of Lodge Radiant (a Ronick Gains daughter) was also shown successfully in the summer of 2009, winning the calf class at Stirling show, only time shown.  He has since been sold privately aged only 5 months old to the Littlewood Limousin Herd owned by the Barlow Brothers, Preston, Lancashire.

Semen has recently been collected from Attila on farm and will be available for sale in January 2010.

Balaise was imported as a yearling calf from France in November 2007 from Earl Lagautriere, who also bred Samy and has one of the best herds in France.

Balaise was shown in 2008, being placed 2nd in the intermediate bull class at the Royal Highland Show.

We have only used him on a small number of heifers to date, but he is proving to be an easy calving bull and his calves are long and clean with plenty of shape.
