Best Wishes

I was just reading on the Longhorn Cattle Society website about the very recent death of the auctioneer John Thornborrow. I did not know Mr Thornborrow very well but fondly remember speaking to him at Stoneleigh every year (when the annual Rare Breeds Show and Sale was held there - a very big and pr...

If someone could create a bovine version of Daniel Craig or "Gleb" (the Russian Dancer from strictly) that would suit my specific type visually very well - would sell well at auction too!

What very sad news. A true English Gentleman, and the reason many of the rare breeds of farm animal have survived (and thrived) today. Very Best thoughts to Mr Henson and all of his family.

Dexters had quite a bit of airtime tonight with Countryfile presenter Ellie taking delivery of 4 Dexters (delivered by the lovely Adam). I imagine they will have a regular slot now to see how they are getting on (Philip might phone Ellie to see if she needs any help with them ...) Might create a sal...

Hello Stephanie, Unfortunately I am unable to attend your open day, it sounds as though you have planned a wonderful event (careful you could be earmarked for a future AGM hosting!). Hope you all have a great day with all things Dexter - weather forecast is good this weekend as well! Best Wishes Lis...

Good Luck to the buyers and sellers tomorrow. It is sadly very unlikely that I will make it this year, and I do LOVE an auction (probably just as well as I would be too tempted by the useful bloodlines forward!). May the sun shine and the bids flow.

Best Wishes Lisa

Hello Stephanie, I suspect your visitors may have suffered from "poor timing"! Before the show (any show but especially a show like this of great importance) exhibitors are mostly very stressed - I have noticed even spouses do not speak to each other pre showing as people are very tense! E...

Hello Jenny, I hope my post did not come across as patronising (it certainly wasn't meant too be!). A lot of people who have never owed cattle before might have read your previous post and thought "I'll give that a go!" and regretted the consequences! Hope your cow is incalf by what ever d...

Hello Jenny, I will tell you a cautionary tale about P.Ding a cow yourself (and for anyone reading this site wondering what P.D means, it is Pregnancy Diagnose (by rectal examination) with hand alone or hand and Ultra scanning device). Unless you are qualified to do this I would not. You could do se...

Hello Sues I would strongly not recommend this, to use your own phrase "I'm not sure if to split the dexters". I think birthing a Limmy Calf may well "split" them! Best Wishes Lisa Bell (Mother of a 9lb 8oz offspring and a 10lb 10oz offspring at birth, and so advise using persona...

Todays email (Rose has to be given marks for persistence!) "Hello Lisa, I've just been informed by my husband's accountant that the money has been deducted in the account which means its now cleared to your account,and i will want you to go to the bank on Friday and get the cash and get back to...
