Southdowns. Just waiting on the shearer! The old girl in the front always gets looking like a bloody merino before they're shorn! There's some sturdy wenches under that fluff mind!

We did wonder if Flufffhead had some southdown in her, she has a stumpy nose, she came from Frome market as a store

and could hardly see where she was going back then, 8 years old now though and she doesn't grow as much Fluff as she used to

Wouldn't be a bad guess! Most of the half bred welsh/southdowns look very similar to that. We have one called elvis because of her fluffy quiff.

Look nice sturdy sorts you’ve got there!! Most of my 150 beef shorthorns are bred up from an initial purchase of twenty dairy shorthorns nearly twenty years ago now i suppose! Lovely cows

Milking, that's the girls. Using what ever dairy shorthorn sexed semen is available when I order. Sexed options are rather limited

Pleased to see the grass holding up for you Tim. Is that the same bull that "leant" on the tree guard fence last year ?

We've a fallen stock fella just outside Woodbridge. Real character. He had a Red Tractor or EH visit one Summer and the inspector remarked he'd quite a few flies................ "Well how many am I allowed? " came the reply

Same bull, Fishwick Temptation.
Bloody tree guards, I'd hate to think how many trees have been sacrificed for posts and rails to guard that one tree!

A home bred cow just popped a calf out.
