WEDDERLIE FARM

The farms of Wedderlie and Evelaw are made up of 1061ha in the Lammermuir Hills of the Scottish Borders.
Lying at 650 to 1250ft, it comprises 356ha heather hill, 185ha rough grazing, 347ha permanent grass, 121 ha temporary grass or kale ground, and 52ha woods/roads.
Aberdeen Angus cattle have been bred continuously on Wedderlie since the first purchase of twin heifers in 1913 and having survived many changes over the years, the 200 cow herd is well placed to capitalise on the expanding market for quality beef and the resulting increase in demand for proven breeding stock.
Because we only register the top performing, structurally sound bulls, purchasers can be confident they will perform and breed well! For more see Latest News. The remainder are sold as yearling steers at St. Boswells Autumn sale or finished off grass at 16 – 18 months.
Females are sold privately or as a draft consignment at Perth in February.
A balance of maternal and growth traits is important and good temperaments are a recognised herd trait!
Wedderlie also runs 1600 Scottish Blackface and Texel cross ewes plus replacements. A pedigree Texel flock was introduced in 1999 with purchases from the dispersal of the Whitemire flock. Shearling rams are sold at Kelso Ram Sale in September.
Welsh Section B ponies under the Wedderlie prefix are all descended from a Foundation Stock mare, Megan, bought in 1943.
Wedderlie Mariota, a full sister to Mardis Gras, is in foal to Moelview Mohawk from the Waxwing Stud
