Meet one of my favourite cows, Etheridge Quince Blossom 🌸🐂
At 10 years old, she still looks fantastic and perfectly sums up what we're trying to achieve with our herd.
She's only ever been housed for her first winter and has lived outside ever since, grazing species-rich grasslands and conservation sites across Dorset. Year after year she calves unassisted, rears a tremendous calf and just gets on with the job. Hardiness, fertility, longevity and efficiency – everything a suckler cow should be.
As regenerative farming continues to ask how livestock can work with nature rather than against it, cows like Quince Blossom are a reminder that the right genetics and management can deliver both productive cattle and thriving landscapes. 🌿🐂
If you're heading to Groundswell, the UK's leading regenerative agriculture festival, come and say hello. Quince Blossom will be on the Longhorn Society stand with her superb heifer calf at foot. We'd love to see you there.
