Ashott Barton to America
Ashott Barton Millennium Falcon’s semen has been collected for export to America by his owner, Ivan Rowe.
Millennium Falcon, son of Cutcombe Millennium and Champson Tulip S38 was bred and trained by me. He was bought by Ivan, at the show and sale in march 2009. Ivan said that as I was not going to sell Millennium to anyone he had better buy a son. I was delighted because an old hand at Devon cattle, who chose Millennium as Stock Bull of the year in 2004, had bought my bull!
Devon Cattle
