Monthly Diary – July 2019

July seems to have flown by with very little rain and grass growth very slow which compared to other parts of the country seems daft. The month started off with a Limousin visit to Shearwell Data  on Exmoor to see how they make ear tags and where the future is going to take us on […]

Monthly Diary – June 2019

The month started off with going to Royal Cornwall Show with four youngsters – two heifers and two bulls. I had a run of seconds and helped the limousins win the Junior Pairs on Friday with Killerton Obayana. We also had the SW Limousin Club sale in Exeter where I took in three bulls. Trade […]

Monthly Diary – May 2019

May has been a very busy month with sales and shows, silage and TB testing. The month started with a trip to Carlisle and I’m glad I took the trailer as I ended up buying two new bulls TWEEDDALE NEWSBEAT and GARNEDD NEPTUNE – who I brought by eye and not on figures.  This was […]

Monthly Diary – April 2019

April has been a very busy month .  We have been busy calving, taking animals to sales and getting ground ready for maize after over wintering stubble turnips, fertilizer applied to grass and cereal crops plus spraying. Calving has been going reasonably well.  The only problem incurred was cryptosporidium.  Most  calves have got over it […]

Monthly Diary – March 2019

March started off with the Brecon / McCartneys sale.  There were only a few bulls forward and sold.  I was lucky to sell two through the ring and have reserve champion with Killerton Nelson.  Buyers were very selective and lacking confidence.  I hope things do improve. I arranged for Dan Bird to attend a DIY […]

Monthly Diary – February 2019

What a glorious month February has been.  Cattle outside hardly making a mark and have kept their condition really well.  Calving has started with a few heifers.  Some have looked after their calves inside a little too well but now things have settled down, the sun has been shining and they are all doing well […]

Monthly Diary – January 2019

Shooting season has finished and depression has set in.  We had a kind January weather wise.  Cattle outside are looking very well.  Cattle inside have as usual caused a few problems, especially young calves Calving is about to start mid February so cows have been mineral bolused and had iodine on their backs as they […]

Monthly Diary – December 2018

Happy New Year to all friends There was a very wet start to the month – quite a lot of cattle were housed which in hindsight brought on other problems, it pneumonia due to temperatures and weather conditions.  Even the vaccinated calves had problems which is a first for us.  The healthiest cattle are the […]

Monthly Diary – November 2018

I went to the NBA Agrifest in Exeter with a Charolais Bull at the beginning of the month – but was beaten by a Limousin !  This annual event was fairly well supported but I think a bi-annual one would be better in the long run.  This is a busy time of year for everyone. […]

Monthly Diary – October 2018

I finished drilling all cereals end of the first week of October, thinking that the weather would change and not know when to stop chucking it down.  I could have been more patient at it turned out … Crops are looking well, Stubble turnips have come on in leaps and bounds and the grass is […]

Monthly Diary – September 2018

PD’ing cows at the start of September was quite a pleasing affair with the majority of cows in calf despite the summer heat and stress.  We have PD’d the group of heifers running with our latest acquisition Gunnerfleet Ned – and following a semen test as well – he has proved not to be up […]
