Sunday afternoon - that post lunch feeling.

A lovely day out and we came home to this - a super red heifer calf for Marshbrook Daffodil.

After a stormy night it was a straightforward calving for Perdy this morning. Her first calf, just 40 mins from waterbag appearing to calf up and sucking. Just how we like it.

Although the day was a bit lacking in sunshine, Marshbrook Tinkerbell shone in the ring. She won her class with 6m old calf Tigerlily at foot, then went on to be Breed Champion for the second time this year, and repeating her success from 2022. There were also class wins for Robin (heifer u 30m) and Jasper (bull any age) making for an excellent day out at Moreton Show.

All settled in for Moreton Show tomorrow. A definite pink tinge to the sky overhead, which I hope means we're in for a fine day.

Another fantastic day out for the team at Hanbury Show. A class win for Tinkerbell in the cow class started us off, with wins for Daffodil, Blackberry and Hugo following. Robin and Strawberry came 2nd in their respective classes, and a very respectable 3rd for Heather at her first show. It was extra special to get Hugo out for a final show before he was delivered to his new owners, who were at the show to see him. Tinkerbell and Daffodil teamed up to win the pairs and Tinkerbell topped it all off taking Breed Champion. Unfortunately it was a wet day so no photos of the cattle.

It's been a busy week for the girls, with 3 heifers going to the Royal Welsh Smallholding and Countryside Show last weekend, and a small team to Shropshire County Show yesterday.

At Shropshire it was our heifer in milk Shamrock who took the Breed Championship after winning her class, with Strawberry winning the maiden heifer class and Blackberry in third.

Last weekend the heifers were in the Dairy Youngstock section, with in calf Robin winning her class and going on to be Reserve Champion on the day, Blackberry winning the 6-12m and Princess 2nd in the 12-18m age group.

Next stop is Staffordshire County Show this week where we will be competing in the Any Other Native Beef classes.

Marshbrook Shamrock, first calver with her birth notified bull calf at foot, Marshbrook Paddy. Shamrock is a non short dun heifer that has done very well for us in the show ring but having passed a pre movement tb test last week is now ready to move on.

Marshbrook Hugo is 5 this year and we now have quite a few of his daughters in the herd so reluctantly it's probably time to move him on. He is non short, has a fabulous temperament, has been shown and of course has produced some excellent calves in both black and red! Sired by Linford Sparrowhawk out of Waterloo Pollen.
