NEW DVD - Millington Limousins

New DVD lifts the lid on Millington Limousins

‘Striving for Perfection’ available now

There are few cattle men who are going about the job of promoting their herd and breed as professionally as John Weatherill of Millington Grange Estate.

John has, for the past decade and more, built up one of the country’s leading herds across his three farms of The Grange, Cold Skin Farm and High College Farm in the Millington area of the East Riding of Yorkshire.

And he now tells his story of what they have achieved and what their expectations are for the future as the Millington Limousins’ name spreads right across the world. It is all encapsulated in a brand new DVD titled ‘Striving for Perfection’ which is John’s motto.

‘Unless you work hard you will never attain it,’ says John. ‘Here at Millington we are committed to producing the best animal any farmer or any consumer would ever want.’

The Millington herd runs to around 200 Limousins, including around 100 breeding cattle and 10 stock bulls. They also have a commercial herd of around 300 which are used for embryo work, as well as smaller herds of Black Limousin and Aberdeen Angus.

John and his show team, which includes Mark Phillips have won major awards at the Great Yorkshire, Royal, Royal Welsh and Royal Highland Shows, including Interbreed champion at both the Royal Welsh and Royal Highland with home-bred Millington Tangerine.

On the DVD John explains their breeding philosophy, their feeding and their exploits abroad. The programme also includes their highly successful day at Carlisle last year when two of his stock achieved the best two prices in the ring on the day. There are commendations from notable figures in the industry such as Iain Kerr who heads up the Limousin Society and David Thomlinson, the breed’s principal auctioneer at Borderway Mart. There is also footage of a notable win at last year’s Driffield Show, and a visitation from a Hong Kong delegation on behalf of reintroducing British beef into their country.
