The main aim of the herd is to run a small number of select breeding females, resulting in a regular turnout of high quality progeny. Emphasis in the herd is for naturally well muscled, clean middled cattle with good locomotion. Due to the small number of breeding females, we have more time available to spend with the animals and we feel this has enhanced the temperament of our progeny. We only have five breeding cows in the herd. We decided to keep cow numbers low in order to maintain the quality of the stock we aim to produce. All of the cows retained have proven themselves on the national scene. The Herd also aims to carry out embryo transfer programmes on at least three of the cows every year. This has enabled us to bring out a few more calves than we would have naturally, with our small herd size. We feel that this allows us to use a large range of sires every year and maximises the output of our best breeders. Two heifers have been retained this year, one heifer by Rossignol out of the brood cow Lodge Silves, and one heifer by Ronick Luke out of the reliable Lyvennet Princess.
