Explanation re my herd reduction

Sylvia · Post by **Sylvia** » Sat May 05, 2007 8:56 am

I hope you don't mind but I think I'd better explain here how I am organising my significant herd reduction.

I have a TB test during the first week in June, all being well I will allocate a day soon after that when the cows will be penned and anyone interested can come and look them over and if satisfied can pay cash and take them away immediately, providing they have suitable facilities for them.
There may be other cows of mine available on the day.

The herd is not organic, it is a grass-fed suckler herd. We do not halter train our animals - they come as a group when they are called. All have nice, quiet temperaments. All are either polled or dehorned except one with small inturned horns. Some are registered and some are not.

The following cows are being submitted with pictures for the cattleforsale list:

Sapphire with heifer calf (both registered)
Ruby with bull calf (not registered)
Myrtle in calf (registered)
Sandy in calf not registered)
Topic in calf (DexterxWelshBlack not registered)
Cherry in calf (not registered)
Primrose in calf (not registered)
Buffy in calf (not registered)
Hazel in calf (registered)
There is also a group of over 20 steers and heifer yearlings, one picture of these will be submitted.

Please note the young woman in the pictures is about 5'3 and is there to give an idea of size. She is not for sale, but said if the price is right.........

I hope these animals will be of interest and the quantities involved will make it worth coming down to Carmarthenshire for them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

All details with pictures submitted this morning, difficult to do while keeping fingers crossed. I kept seeing an advert for stair lifts while I was doing it which became more and more a possibility with the passing hours. Anyway, done and dusted.

Stair lifts?

Yes, I got the same this morning. An advertising banner for stair lifts. I'm not quite ready for one yet! Or maybe it was for the cows. It's not there now.

Ditto, Inger. Would that be something like escalators?

Not unless Australian escalators translate into something entirely different from British ones. Stair lifts are fitted into private homes of very elderly and disabled people to whizz them up and down their stairs when they can no longer manage to walk up them. Unless Clive is planning to take his Dexters to bed with him I think he might have been being flippant ???

As predicted Cherry now has a nice black heifer calf at foot.
