St Valentine's Day - the start of Spring? Although we had our share of frost, we missed the worst of the snow that hit other parts of the country and are now looking forward to a new farming year.

We have just bought back Gorse Noddy the Longhorn bull we sold to James Barber as a calf and which has left some excellent calves in the CHARLECOTE herd. Underknoll Quest has been a great servant and sired some outstanding calves here but now has too many daughters in the herd. He is now for sale and will be offered at the Society Spring Sale at Worcester on 24th April.

All is well on the sheep front. The Oxfords and Suffolks will start lambing shortly with the Wiltshires following on in April. There was strong demand for Wiltshire ewes last Autumn and we already have firm enquiries for shearling ewes for this year.
