We welcomed Torrent Fredrick Huntsham Medlar into the world early last Sunday morning, its been touch and go but I can now confirm he is going from strength to strength and is in rude health!
He is our first Longhorn X calf so the excitement has been overwhelming. His mother, Florence, has been amazing, as have the rest of the herd.
I will post a photo asap, he isn't standing still long enough right now to catch his best side! He is silver with a white tummy and white blobs on the back of his legs and a dark strip down his spine....a very handsome young man.
Everyone else is fine, the weather, even the last couple of days, has been glorious, very very warm for this time of year.
I think we will have a few more calves arriving over the next couple of weeks, our main calving time is may-sept so this is very early, I will keep you posted. But now I must hurry back to the barn...this wind is picking up and those Dexters are very light!!
