Including a nice Dun at the back. In 1921 it was known as The Dun and Belted Galloway Cattle Society

They are clearly out of sorts not being up to their knees in mud and having to substitute by standing in a drying out pond. They really are looking rather perplexed at the whole thing.

Ask me in a couple of years, we are just building up a herd. There is a market for breeding stock, but we do aim to finish some too.

I see someone in the vienne advertising Angus beef. La Perriere Angus Boeuf, on facebook? Don't know any more than that though. I do get the impression that anything other than limousin or charolaise and you need to create your own outlet!!

Duncan & Hannah Nobbs, la perriere Angus.
They bought some Angus bullocks off me a few years back when they first arrived, think they’ve 40 odd now.. mostly meat sales but I think a few go through les herolles market, don’t know what the trade for anything other than Limousin is like though

I see from your location you are not far from Moulins. Big Charollais country there! (Stayed there a couple of times with a family, Charly has the vet practice in Cressanges)
When you rock up with your Aberdeen Angus you'll certainly turn some heads, you'll be known as 'M. Le Rosbif'

If that’s all I am known as I can live with that! The main part of the herd will be Limousin, I really cant get enthusiastic about Charolais, they cost more to produce and return less than Limousin cattle and are not much fun to calve! The guy I am taking over from has had 6 caesarians in his first batch of 70 still got 2 more batches to go! The guy I have bought my lims from was calving 260 a year and the last time he had any cesarians was 4 years ago when he had 3 in the whole lot!

I went to the local market the other morning and have found a buyer for any heifers I don’t sell for breeding and any youngish cows I want to sell. I think it will be ok......... hopefully!
