Lovely Valentine’s Day present! Gorgeous white bull calf by Glaieul de Pont Messe ex NewPoe Holly and then a smart white/black heifer calf ex NewPole Harlequin by NewPole Mack (by Glaieul). No more calves for a couple of weeks so looking forward to some good night’s sleep....

Well, slightly more drawn out than usual but both me and Phil are truly delighted to be able to say our CHeCs level 10 bTB status is still intact! We did the whole herd test on Monday 16th (all bar two young white bulls) and they all went clear last Thursday. Our fab vets practice, Mount Veterinary, arranged a last appointment on Christmas Eve,with vet Al Winnearls, to do the remaining two bull, NewPole Nice One and NewPole Obviously, as their test needed to be within 28 days of them entering stud - they are off to join NewPole Notable and NewPole Navigator at Cogent on January 20th! It was all to the wire, as our test compliance ran out on Christmas Day.....

So that’s a great start to 2020 for us !
