At present, small breeders such as myself are rapidly losing interest in the Society as costs and paperwork mount with absolutely no discernable benefit to us or our cattle. Unless thi...

Thanks to all who replied and particularly to Duncan - what a great video. No wonder the camera wasn't steady, I would have been wetting myself!
