Stopped in Yorkshire to look at White Beef Shorthorn bulls at UPSALL - selected TIGER of UPSALL & he must now be health tested
5 March
Una Bhuidhe of Craigowmill had red heifer calf
6 March
Julie of Craigowmill (mother of Brogach3 of Craigowmill & Gille Dubh of Craigowmill) had red bull calf (one to watch !!)
10 March
Start of main calving period
19-20 March
Probably the worst weather we have ever seen - snow, rain, hail, high winds and very cold. Typically we had about 15 calves on these 2 days with 8 having to be brought into a shed and 2 deaths due to the severe weather
10-31 March
32 out of 38 X calves in this period !! Pure Highlanders are being much slower. We now have 75 Calves which is a little disappointing
