The first calves by our speckled park bull. Very impressed with his body condition considering the lack of grass all summer.

I was under the impression the Highlander started out with 50% Romney & 25% Finn 25% texel. I could be wrong though, I lost interest when I sold them to Innovis!!

Wagyu x Dairy Shorthorn cow sired by Wagyu bull. We try to kill as near to 30 months as possible Carcass weight 300-340kgs, we normally creep feed on Mum, then store them for year 2 & then start feeding concentrate for their last 100 days. I should feed more but I'm too tight! Feeding approx...

These are some shoulder steaks from a home bred Wagyu x. The Denver & flat iron steaks are two of our most popular steaks & usually sell out first. We can get extra value out of the lesser cuts because the meat is so tender. Our Wagyu burgers have a noticeable texture/flavour difference to...

The Hartline was developed in the early 80's with a four way cross of Welsh half bred x Finn/Colbred x Texel x East Friesland. Stephen Hart was well ahead of his time when it came to developing a maternal ewe ' fit for purpose' A few years back Innovis put a Hartline ram over a proportion of...

sorry about the quality, I will get some close ups next weekend!

Yes, I will get some uploaded in the next 24hrs

Our Highlanders scan over 200% (too high for the grazing they are on) & are very good on their feet. Hartlines scan at about 190% lambs wean slightly heavier but in general more variable on their feet. Both breeds lamb outside, Highlander birth weights slightly lower (not a bad thing) mortality...

Thanks @neilo been busy recently irrigating the cabbages, don't want to run out of Summer feed during the show season! We still do run a flock of Hartline ewes & sell a few rams but we are nowhere near as proficient as Stephen Hart was at the job. The Hartline was originally a 4 way cross of...

We have kept back our best dozen Highlander ram lambs to run on & sell this Autumn. We reduced our Highlander numbers to concentrate on our Primera/Focus Prime flock. Feel free to get in touch & come & have a look round. The ewes are at St Albans & I'm sure I can bore you rigid telling you how...

JBF feeds mobile, find them on Facebook, bloody good bloke. Based in Bucks but travels all over

Approx 100 pure Highlander yearlings available in Bucks. Phone John on 07770845171 if interested, alternatively drop me a message & I will pass it on. I could sell you a Primera ram when you're passing !! Rob P

Bone Marrow, the untapped resource, the caviar of the red meat sector. A couple of future glowing endorsements on Masterchef & then the Suffolk will be back where it truly belongs as the No1 breed in the UK!!

I'm afraid I need my head in the trough at least 3 times/day & I seem to have an aversion to anything green!!

I wanted 74 & 76, but being a little too tight, ended up with 72, very good fec e.b.v & myomax gold. I chatted to a few people, I'm the one shaped like a beltex with the fat cover of a show sheep!!

I reckon lot 76 was the best sheep there. I think you did outbid NeilO, bot don't worry he didn't feel guilty when he outbid me!!

There should be a few 'Focus Prime' Rams available at the Innovis Aberystwyth sales

Thame market is a collection centre for St Merryn, usually load on a Tuesday. Daniel Slade organises this, his details are on the Thame farmers website

Sitting in on the Innovis breeder meetings you cannot under estimate the amount of recording that goes in to the selection of the rams. The abermax was derived from very high index Texels & Charollais & anything that is structurally weak is thrown out & culled. They are all indexed & given...
