I'm sure you remember every word in this Blog (but if not look back at 1st May last year when I told you about cow families, names and numbers).
One of our most prolific families is the Starlet family. The first Strickley Starlet was born on 6th July 1977, and yesterday Starlet 38 (born 9th May 1998) had her eight calf - a heifer now known as Strickley Starlet 100.
.
Starlets not only have a high proportion of heifers to bulls (a good trait), but produce loads of milk and do well in the sale and show ring. This is Starlet 62 when she was Reserve Champion at the Shorthorn Society's Autumn Show and Sale in 2005.
