ERICA Family
Go to: Dunlouise Elmarie Y071
Alto Elvara K3
Dunlouise Elmarie Y071 was Alto's Erica foundation cow.
Her dam : "... Ejeta of Templehouse; she was without doubt the greatest breeding animal I have ever bought.
She is the backbone of the entire Native project and it is not an overstatement to say that without Ejeta I doubt that the Native cattle would have survived ..
Ejeta traces back to Emily 332, born in 1852, sired by Old Jock (1), bred by High Watson of Keillor, Angus, Scotland.
Emily was the dam of Erica (843) sired by Cupbearer (59), bred by the Earl of Southesk, Kinnaird Castle, Brechin, Angus, and sold to Sir George McPherson Grant of Ballindalloch. He played a huge part in making the Ericas the largest and most sort after family."

Ruth of Tillyfour
Beauty of Tillyfour 2nd 1180, bred by Hugh Watson, Keillor, was bought by Mr.M'Combie of Tillyfour at the Keillor dispersion sale in 1860 for ₤64 The foundation cow of this family Ruth of Tillyfour 1169 was bred by Mr. M'Combie in 1865. Ruby 5th of Newcroft ZAP.T9.19 was bred by Mr William Miller of the famous Newcroft stud in Morayshire. She was acquired by the Dunlouise stud when she was eleven years old and has been a very important cow in the preservation of this very rare family. Her third dam is a full sister to Rambler of Newcroft.
This great bull from the Ruth of Tillyfour family appears many times in the pedigrees of the Native Scottish Angus
Nell of Aldbar
Link to: Dunlouise Nigella P541
The Nells of Aldbar may be accepted as the oldest family in the breed; the line can be traced back with considerable assurance to the original black polled cattle that were at Aldbar Castle, near Brechin, Angus in the middle of the 18th century. They were known as the “Sheriff’s breed” from the fact that they were the favourites of Sheriff Patrick Chalmers 1777 -1826, owner of the estate.
