Seems like a good idea Mark

Like Mark says post a pic the danger could be cattle getting knocked over and falling if they start fighting or bulling if its really steep

They found a small self set tree. But is a worry that people will dump things in your field especially if next to houses which we have had from time to time.

it seems it was a small self set tree they think caused the damage as they were unaware they had any yew. Think it was the speed of it and the fact doesnt take much.

some dont like to be watched

Rob do your customers bother about the certificate or do you just show them anyway.

Our first bull was short and he served simmental cross holstein suckler cow no probs biggest problems with dexter bulls is stopping them this bull you knew cow was coming bulling 2/3 days before he served her as he would follow her round .Just watch him with heifer calves as dexter come into season ...

thanks Rob
how many did you buy
what was quality like

Yes they have put eartag numbers up for those cattle thats how i found out about the Churcholme cattle entered by C Dews. But you are right may be worth checking tags of others.

Catalogue for York Rare Breed Sale out now - quite a few Dexters about 30 in including some that have been put in the non-registered section as owner not a member i think as advertised as previously registered. Seem to be 5 Churcholme cattle bred by Penny Hodgson and a Nentsberry cow with calf.
