This is Warrior. He’s our pedigree British Longhorn bull, and for the last few months he’s been living a rather peaceful life with the sheep here on our family farm in Thurning, Northamptonshire.
Not because he’s in disgrace, but because his work with the cows was done for the year.
We only put Warrior in with our grass-fed Longhorn herd for a set period so that, all being well, our calves arrive within a fairly tight window next year rather than popping up whenever they fancy.
Once he’d done his bit, he came back out and moved in with the sheep. He doesn’t seem to have minded.
Now comes the moment of truth. The cows are being scanned over the next couple of weeks, so we’ll soon find out how successful Warrior has been.
Fingers crossed he’s earned his keep.
