That's what I like, turn up to check and she's done it all by herself!

Wide old belt that on the calf

Nice strong looking calf
Thanks JP It is a nice calf I was going to send a pic to Clyde

The bull is all white so I spose that helped the belt though the two others we have had from the belty/South devons have been mostly black/dark brown
They have had some nice calves to the blue bull but I think the south devon in them helps, I am not sure what a pure belty would be like

Had a heifer calve the other day, calved it herself, licked it & fed it, making a real fuss of her calf & doing the job well......then as far as I can work out she went & lay on it :mad::mad:.

Second day, second Riggit Galloway heifer calf. This one in The Close, Pakenham.

This one will be an Appendix due to inheriting Grandsire's Belt on the offside

Lovely strong calf and a very sensible Dam. Lucky Stripe was rescued because of her markings from a fattening pen in Kings Lynn, two years ago she delivered up TwoMills Reiver's Lucky Boy now stock bull at Jimmy's Farm and now to a different bull her first Riggit heifer calf.

Very rare, very special

Welcome to the World TwoMills Bonny Stripe
