As you can tell I'm new to this site! but have been a long time observer on BFF. Being as my name has been mentioned and a lot of questions are being asked i thought i would join. Firstly Stabiliser are a registered breed with Defra so they receive full Pedigree compensation for TB. Also as Clive T mentioned all Stabilser heifers are sold Fixed Price this year the price is set at F1's £1000, F2'S 1100 and Pure's at £1250, which although may sound expensive is very much cheaper than a lot of pedigree heifers beng sold at the momemt and all heifers will have a Very High health Status. One of the most important things that all breeders of Stabilisers recognise is that they are a maternal breed and everyone I Know that went into them did so purely to produce their own replacements with the idea to putting a continental bull on them, but due to the growth of the male calfs hardly anyone has bothered to do this. I Still think the future of the breed is to keep them purely as a maternal breed and let people put their bull of choice across them!
Hi James, glad you've joined up
