Elwess Herefords Open Shed Day - Tomorrow!

Hi everyone

I had meant to post about this in here a bit sooner, rather last minute notice now.

We are holding an Open Shed Day tomorrow, a bit like an open house, only it's in the cattle shed!

If you are able to pop along, there will be hot drinks, mulled wine and mince pies, and a chance to look round our herd of pedigree Herefords.

Please send me a message of you think you can make it, then I will know who to look out for

Good luck hope all goes well, (y)
bit far for me to pop in,
Lovely looking calves from your Achiever bull,
Have one myself, first calves due March:) if mine are half as good as yours I'll be chuffed to bits:smug:.
 
Thank you @tinsheet, that is very kind of you! Which Achiever bull have you got? Hope your calving season goes well, ours have been a doddle. Calved easy, up and sucking quickly. If you are ever in our area let me know, we'd love to show you around .
 
Hi @Martyn, we might have, but it will only be one or two this year. We are taking the herd up to 50 cows so retaining most of our young heifers. Can I let you know after Christmas? What is the name of your bull? Looking forward to seeing a photo!

Ervie L1 Achiever141753. Very much a maternal bull, bought from Mr Douglas as a 3 year old, he'd used him himself for two seasons, then was surplus to requirements.
Thank you for the offer, will take you up on it if I'm ever nearby.
That's one serious bull you have there! (y) well jealous(y).
 
Thanks @tinsheet ! His figures look promising, and he will hopefully leave you with some good cows. Hopefully 91151H will still be producing the goods by the time you need a new bull for your Achiever heifers ;).

That is frustrating @Martyn, maybe try sending it by pm to me?

The Open Shed Day event went well, with plenty of visitors, which kept us busy all day. There are some photos on our facebook page, although I didn't have time to take any myself! www.facebook.com/elwessherefords
