Quaish Limousins

Nearly 30 years of Limousin breeding commenced in September 1988 when Nick

Hill travelled to Carlise to purchase two foundation females and a bull. The first of

the cows was an imported French cow called ‘Star’ and the second ‘Wedmore

Blossom’, who ironically originated from the neighbouring herd of Marion Stitch, as

did the bull ‘Wedmore Charlie’.

From these three animals, a passion for the breed and the show ring was

developed resulting in numerous notable successes over the years, to include

Royal Show Champion (RAC) Stoneleigh in 2000. Numbers increased to 20

breeding females which were reduced by half with a major reduction sale

conducted in October 2011 and since that date have remained at this level.

The showing bug was well and truly caught when ‘Quaish Ab Fab’ won the National

Primestock Show in 2006. Her daughter ‘Quaish Evie’ is considered to be the best

show cow that the herd has bred. ‘Evie’ has produced a daughter ‘Lottie’ who sells.

With both Nick and Lisa working away from the farm the herd has had to be

managed on a very commercial basis. The cows are grazed out during the summer

and fed only silage and hay in the winter with no concentrates fed, except to the

show cattle. Breeding has concentrated on producing easy to handle cattle with

excellent temperaments and the ability to produce offspring with the very best of

confirmation. Figures have never been a key feature of the herd with Nick relying

on his eye to breed quality stock as demonstrated by the herds showing success

from a relatively small number of cows.

Having reached an agreement with their Landlord the family are relinquishing their

tenancy at Decoy Pool Farm which has resulted in this very genuine sale taking

place. Nick and Lisa’s children Lottie and Archie share their passion for showing

and it is their wish to try and continue the Quaish prefix and to allow them the

opportunity to do this, two of the oldest cows and one pedigree British Blue cow

are being retained.

The majority of the cattle to be sold have been shown at some point and the sale

includes the 2017 Show Team, ‘Lucky’, ‘Lottie’ & ‘Living the Dream’; their

achievements include numerous breed and interbreed championships, interbreed

pair and group championships across the South West to include Devon County,

Royal Bath & West and The Royal Welsh Show. Indeed Quaish Lucky has been

announced as the winner of the “ED Down Trophy” for gaining the most points at

Agricultural Shows during 2017 within the South West Limousin Cattle Breeders

club.

The sale cattle were pre-movement tested on 17th October and notably there has

never been a TB reactor or IR on the holding. The Hill’s work closely with their

vets to ensure the herd is in the best of health with no need for vaccinations apart

from Rispoval 4. (Please see Vets report)

Orchard Vets Glastonbury

It has been a pleasure to provide veterinary services to Nick and the Quaish herd

over the past 15 years that I have known him. Nick has consistently produced

award winning Limousin cattle which I have found to be as robust as they look. By

taking a proactive approach to health and welfare combined with high levels of

stocksmanship and attention to detail, disease rates have been low. Calves are

vaccinated with Rispoval 4.

Auctioneers Comments

Having admired Quaish Limousins and their tremendous show successes over the

years it is a privilege to be involved in their Sale which we are delighted to host at

Sedgemoor Auction Centre. It is testament to the breeding at Quaish that so many

quality cattle have graced the showing circuit from such a small nucleus. This tells

you all you need to know about the cattle which we have no doubt will enhance

anyone’s herd. If you wish to add to your existing herd or are looking for foundation

cattle to get you into the breed then this is the sale for you and we look forward

to seeing you at Sedgemoor on the 9th December.
