The Sassy Lassies sale from the Emslies Herd of Mr Harry Emslie, Kinknockie, Mintlaw, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire saw a strong trade throughout lead by the 16,500gns paid for the in-calf heifer Emslies Guerlain.
October 2011 born, Emslies Guerlain is a Sympa daughter and is out of the herd’s noted French cow Ubonie. Combining muscle, power, thickness and breed character, this heifer is a maternal sister to the 37,000gns Emslies Frenchman.
