My new herd - Very small herd of very small cows!

[Woodmagic]

Thank you for all those compliments everybody, it is lovely to see ‘Ginger’ looking so utterly blissful, and we are having a belated but welcome bonus in the weather at present. It is a pity that I have had no requests for bull calves this year, so shall shortly be steering the lot, I am not geared to carry them on, and only retain any that have been spoken for, like many I have had a very unfair ratio this year, and I think it is the first year I have not one purchaser for a bull, probably because of the crippling costs of registration.

Hi Beryl,

What a shame to have to steer the lot!

I expect the Foot and Mouth preventing people visiting made a difference to orders for bulls for you and for other breeders alike.

If anyone wants to look at Beryls bull calves without even going out of the house!!! There are some pics of them that I took back in the Summer on the Woodmagic Site, which you can get to through the thread "Woodmagic Dexters" but the pics were taken right at the beginning of July when they were quite immature.

Hi Saffy--- excuse me for being nosy and you can lie if you want but is that hill behind the four cows the Skirrid in Monmouthshire. The reason i ask is i used to live there-- well it is where i was born and brought up. If i am wrong i am going to look a plonker:(

[Saffy]

Hello welshdexterboy,

You are quite correct about the location.

That is the Skirrid, also know as the Holy Mountain, in the background.

My farm is at Llanfapley, near Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire.
