Movements On and Off

This afternoon two of our bulls are leaving us for another life. We are selling Goldfinger and Flurish to a Bull Hire firm in Lancashire. I only know in the most general of terms what this entails - but I assume it's like Temping at different companies, as they spend time with different herds before they get too jaded and move onto pastures (and cows) new.


And last night we brought home another bull - Dwersylt Lord Oxford 74th. He has several advantages

  • no vets bills

  • no expensive organic feed

  • no special housing

  • no six-day-rule

And the only real disadvantage

  • needs occasional dusting.
