Eleven calves of Panmure are recorded in the first volume of the Scotch herd book, but it is known that he was used liberally in the localities where owned and he no doubt sired many calves that were never registered. Some of the more important ones recorded are Monarch (44), Princess (47), Jean Ann (206), Queen Mother (348), Queen of Scots (72), Queen of Kinnochtry (572), and Princess Daughter (832).

     Panmure, bred to Queen of Ardovie (29), a daughter of Black Meg (766), produced Queen Mother (348), the foundress of the famous Queen tribe, most highly esteemed by all lovers of Angus cattle. Monarch (44) was a son of Panmure's through a daughter of his by the name of Julia, out of Susanna, a daughter of Black Meg (766). Thus Monarch and Queen Mother, as a result of in-and-inbreeding worthy of a Colling, were half brother and sister. Not only that, but on the sire's side Panmure was not only sire but also grandsire. Yet Monarch was such a superior individual, and his breeding was so good, that he was bought by William McCombie and placed at the head of his herd. In his work on "Cattle and Cattle Breeders" that breeder writes, as evidence of the merit of Panmure's breeding, transmitted to his herd by his son, that "some of my best stock trace their descent from Panmure." The importance of this statement becomes apparent when we consider that McCombie stands in history as the most successful of Angus breeders.

     Mr. McCombie purchased at Ardovie the cows Queen Mother and Jean Ann, that were full sisters, sired by Panmure and out of Queen of Ardovie (29). He bred Monarch (44)) to each of these, resulting in 1847 in the production of Lola Montes (208), and in 1849 of Bloomer (201), two famous prize-winning cows in their day and generation. This was in-andin-breeding with a vengeance. In 1852 Lola Montes was bred to Angus (45), a superior bull bred by Hugh Watson, and from that union she dropped a heifer named Charlotte (203), which became a prize winner at Paris in 1856. A bull named Hanton (228), that was the first prize Angus male at the Paris exposition the same year, and shown by McCombie, an animal tracing three times to Panmure, was bred to Charlotte. From that service in 1857 she dropped the heifer Pride of Aberdeen (581), the foundress of the Pride family of the Queen tribe, whose "career is without a parallel in the chronicles of the breed." She was a most remarkable cow, creating a sensation at Sccf.ch shows for three years, and making a great impression at the international show at Battersea in 1862.

     The famous Prince Ito (12869), that in1902 sold for $9,100 in Chicago at public sale, the Angus record price, is five generations descended from Pride of Aberdeen in a direct line on the dam's side. One cannot trace a Queen Mother or Pride of today without running back into the blood of Panmure. A study of many an Angus pedigree will show that Panmure played his part, although often overlooked through the space of time. Yet the very best blood of the Angus cattle of Scotland secured from him a rich part of its inheritance.
