All winter cereals are now in the ground – we finished on 10th October and have gone in very well.  Germination has been good. My wife persuaded me to go on a director’s meeting in a foreign country which was a lovely change from the UK.  It was good to get some sunshine before the onset […]

September has flown by, we have been flat out.  The month started off with the SW Limousin Club AGM and results of the herd competition.  To our credit we won Best Heifer Calf born 2017 with Killerton Nova and Killerton Nick was second in the 2017 born bull class.  Overall we were placed 2nd in the […]

I went to Honiton Show at the beginning of the month with Killerton Merino and two heifers – placed but could do better.  This is a popular local one day show – well done Nick Hill and family on their Limousin success. The SW Lim Club held their Herd competition during the month, judged by […]

The month started so well but now look at us at the end – it started warm, promising, dry and sunny but ended with wind, rain and mud – all things reminiscent of winter! The barley has been completed – with rain breaks.  Stubble turnips have been broadcast and had a very good germination (thanks […]

I’m sure the months are going faster even though the days are longer! I started the month at the Royal Cornwall Show. I was pleased with where we came even though the weather was catchy. There were many people around expressing interest and feeling positive about the future – that’s Cornwall. I was honoured by […]

May has been one of those very busy months with sales,  shows and being short staffed. There seemed to be a lot of interest in bulls this month which gave me incentive to go and reinvest for the future which is what I have done.   I started the month going to Carlisle where I sold […]

April has been a very busy and successful month with Bull sales.  Refreshing to have some new enquiries and people are beginning to alter the markets they are aiming for and it’s a real pleasure to put limousin bulls on to new farms, replacing other breeds.  The new clients are reacting to the lower top […]

Good news – we passed our TB test which takes one pressure away for a few months.  So in addition to our bulls, we now have pedigree heifers sale – some have been AI’d and others fit for bull or younger. I took a charolais bull to Welshpool, which had previously won 2016 Bull of […]

Shooting season now finished so it’s time to knuckle down.   An enjoyable season which involved driving over the whole country and meeting a lot of like-minded people .  The weather has been kind for sport and keeping livestock outside.   It was bound to change and it has now with a vengeance.   After some hard frosts […]

Everyone here at Killerton Limousin would like to wish all our family, friends and customers, good health and a very prosperous 2017

I took bulls to the McCartneys sale in Brecon and was pleased with Killerton Lotto who was placed Senior Reserve Champion.  Trade was reasonable and I hope Lotto goes on well with his new owners. We then went to the Welshpool sale later in the month.  Trade was average with some buyers interest  and I […]
