OBITUARY
ROBIN SMITH
It is with tremendous sadness that we inform you of Robin’s untimely death after a well fought illness and lengthy surgery.
A man should make his mark and leave a legacy for the next generation – Robin without doubt did just that!!
A dairy farmer from his youth and then falling in love with Bazadaise cattle to which he initially crossed on his Friesian type dairy cows breeding excellent cross suckler cows and beef bulls.
Robin together with Gill embarked on increasing the sucklers and as the dairying ceased on the farm the Pedigree and cross breds thrived and Robin travelled far and wide banging the Bazadaise Drum – Robin Smith was Mr Bazadaise.
Robin was always the same, always loved a leg pull and always had a smile on his face.
He loved it when a Bazadaise topped the market, which he did on numerous occasions and would give the Limousin breeders who he had knocked off the top spot a cheeky smile.
I had the honour of conducting the Smiths most recent Production Sale and again Robin was very upbeat and easy to deal with.
Even in the face of extreme ill health and facing a risky operation Robin was again laughing and joking and an inspiration to all and certainly many could do with adopting his attitude.
Robin will be extremely missed by all his friends and family and the agricultural community, but his legacy lives on and his mark truly stamped.
He leaves the farm in the very capable hands of Edwina and Marcus and wife Gill who we send our deepest sympathy and Best Wishes at this sad and difficult time.

Strong Limousin demand at Newark 10th anniversary sale sees 93% clearance
Saturday's 10th anniversary Limousin Day sale at Newark Livestock Market saw a bumper catalogue matched by a strong turnout of buyers which resulted in a 93% clearance and a top call of 7000gns achieved twice in the bulls on offer.
Females, meanwhile traded to a peak of 5000gns, with semen selling to 550gns/straw and demand strong for the commercial cattle on offer too.
Auctioneer Paul Gentry said it had been another hugely successful day's trading which followed the trend set at Newark in previous years. "Newark has once again proven itself to be the only venue in England capable of selling large numbers of pedigree Limousin cattle to such an exceptional clearance rate. That we achieved such a success is testament to the quality of the cattle entered by vendors and the willingness of buyers to invest in great Limousin genetics."
Leading the day's trading were a pair of bulls at 7000gns, with the first at this money being the overall male champion from the pre-sale show Millington Hampton fromMillington Limousins.

Selling with a muscle depth of +5.9 and beef value of +37, he was knocked down to Messrs Knight, Oundle, Peterborough.
The first bull in the ring then took a call of 5500gns, with this being the senior stock sire from Paul Dawes' Dinmore herd, Procters Duvalier. This 2008-born son of the 100,000gns sire Haltcliffe Vermount is out of Procters Vabrielle, a Greenwell Ronick daughter and sired the 22,000gns Dinmore Foxtrot and 14,000gns Dinmore Foxy.
