All meant to be charollais but fairly certain just by looking at them there must be a dollop of Texel in them as well. Some are more like pure charollais than others but I'm not too concerned either way. They don't cost big money, invariably £450-£500. I don't ever recall us paying more than that for a tup. Farming in Warwickshire bang in the middle of the country.

When was that calve born?

Yes, @west coast angus , he is looking really well! You'd almost think he'd had a great Summer of weather on his back!

Don't think he's seen a good summer since he has arrived!!

Is he the same school year as our bull Richard? Looking well! Similar weather to us judging by the stockyard!

Yes @MrA.G. , same class as your lad, and a very similar type of bull.

These pics were taken a week or two back, but the weather has been no better since. If I had stood him in that same corner and taken his pic yesterday, the yard would have looked wetter if anything. We'll be catching the rain about an hour after yourself!

There's no "huddled under a brolly" emoji, so I'll just have to use instead.

We recently had 'a bit of a do'. The bride wanted some photos with some Lincolns. The only ones handy were some gimmer lambs.....

The dog was a bit fresh - I was a bit wary of putting them in that tent, amongst all those tables and chairs

The one in the foreground is probably the best 'gimmer' we've ever bred
