Title: Boer bucks in Scotland
Post by: Castlehill Farm on June 14, 2015, 10:15:35 am

Hello All,

Time to boast about your BOER BUCK!

What breeding Boer Buck lines are there in Scotland at the moment?

Posting a photo of your buck when you submit your info would be a plus!

Looking forward to your replies.

I think Imogen at Netherbrae has/had one but she's up on Orkney now.....
There are some down this end of the country (Lanark) I'll try and find out for you.
Slightly off topic but did I see your photo in the ECV newsletter and do you happen to be the same people who bought South Bogside at St Katherines around 10 years ago?  :thinking:

Happy Hippy,

We are in the ECV news letter!

Wrong spy about South Bogside, not us.....

We have 3 Pedigree bucks but interested in seeing what others have but looks like nobody wants to share.

Our bucks are of DeGraven line from Buckinghanshire.
