New lad for this year. Replacing an old boy who went last year aged 13 so will be very happy if he lasts anywhere as long. Sired by Maraiscote Olympus.

Leo the Riggit Galloway bull patiently waiting for one of the Riggit Galloway cows to calve so he can be turned out 37 miles away on the Deben Estuary with the maiden heifers

Will start calving heifers here soon. All due from the 3rd to 19th of May.
Tweeddale Lookout sired 87% char heifer. Due to calve on the 3rd of May.
Lodge Hamlet sired, incalf to blonde. Have four Hamlet daughters for calving, so will be interesting to see how they will perform.

A few of my favourites this year so far from evening rounds this week. First and fourth are pedigree Lleyn. Second and third are the same commercial lamb out of a 5/8 lleyn ewe. Changed our commercial ram this year from a Dorset to a Chartex; real pleased with the lambs from him so far. All grass fed, no creep.

Have you ever had your heifers hip scored to measure the width of the pelvis farmer girl? And can you still get Lodge Hamlet bull semen?

She popped this one out very quickly while I was checking some sheep. It’s a big calf as well
That from the young bull you bought the other year but weren't sure about @Aspiring Peasants ?

Never measured, but would like to start.
Here probably not anymore, but have one or two straws left.
The first heifer calved here two days ago already. Had to assist as one leg was bent under. Calf sired by culard charolais, heifer is around 80% lim. Not Hamlet daughter though.

Yes, well remembered Unfortunately I had to sell him because he started sucking the cows and no spike or anything would stop him. He also was getting a bit "bolshie". He was still only 24 months old so I put him through the stores and he made £2120, nearly £500 more than I paid for him and I've got 20 cows in calf, so I'm not complaining!
