Newhouse Pedigrees - www.adamnewhouse.com

The Newhouse herd of pedigree Charolais and Limousin cattle is known all over the UK for turning out quality males and females for sale, so it was a pleasure to be commissioned by Bob and Kay Adam to design a site for them. The Adam family has a history deep in pedigree livestock and both herds have really made their mark on the pedigree sales sector with many of their cattle topping sales at both Carlisle and Stirling. Newhouse will be represented at this February’s Stirling and Carlisle sales so we wish them all the best for both sales.

Current client Adrian Ivory of  Strathisla Farms in Perthshire felt his current website was in need of a change, so it was great to accept the challenge of coming up with a  re-design for Adrian’s pedigree Simmental and Charolais herd. Since his successful night at the FW Awards in  2008, Adrian’s success story has continued to grow having worked with  celebrity chef Mat Follas, as well as appeared on Asda’s Christmas TV  advert promoting the special beef range. Adrian continues to offer quality pedigree and commercial stock for sale both at home  and at Society sales.
