Title: Clyde is saved from "The Ring"
Post by: Rosemary on February 14, 2015, 07:40:11 pm

Absolutely delighted that Clyde has been sold to a breeding herd. When he's weaned in October, he'll be heading off to Wales. So his Sunday tomorrow will be far, far better than it could have been  :thumbsup:

That is good news - always great if a bull calf with potential can be kept whole.

I always feel a bit guilty when the rings go on the little chaps - seems a shame, but can't keep all of them entire.

Perhaps other Shetland breeders should try the 'time-limited' offer for their good bull calves - might make life a litte simpler.
