Last night our grand old lady Strickley Geri had her 12th calf. She's a perfect example of what's best about the modern Dairy Shorthorn. Born in August 1996 she's still going strong and though her show winning days are over (see details on our main website) she is still in full production and hopefully will add to her already impressive yields (over 75,000 kg). She was our first cow to be classified excellent, and the last time she was classified (2008) scored EX 93. You can click here to see the full details on the Shorthorn website.
This latest calf is a heifer (Strickley Geri 19) to the Australian bull Panorama Aramis and I'm sure will be a valuable addition to the Strickley Herd.
This photograph of Geri was taken soon after turnout in 2007 (I think!)
