An Excellent Result!

It's official - our Shorthorns are excellent (or very good, or good plus).

Yesterday our herd was classified. Now I know that the following may not mean a lot to non Dairy Farmers, so for an explanation look at this link.

Overall there were 2 Excellents, 22 Very Goods and 17 Good Plus.

Geri, who has featured more than once in the pages of this Blog is classified as Ex 93.3e. As you may recall she was born in 1996 and is now in calf with her 11th calf. Almost as good is Pansy, a 4th calver- Champion Dairy Shorthorn at the 2007 Royal Highland Show. She is classified as Ex 91.

Other notable mentions must go to one of Nejay Prince's daughters (semen still available at RCG!) - a 3rd calver with a score of 88. And a 2nd calver with a score of 87 (and 89 mamm.)

So if you're looking for for good (or excellent!) Dairy Shorthorns, get in touch with us.
