Chloanne Update
Having just completed a monthly milk recording, Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious is STILL milking hard at 33.0 litres a day , which is amazing considering she has been in milk now for 386 days.
She is due to be dried off on the 6th of March.
Our "cover girl", the calf on the main picture is now in calve , just shows how time moves on .
She was AI'd and put to the bull , so it will either be to Ellenneff Storm Johnny or to the elite holstein sire Ensenda Taboo Planet.
I have had no word back yet on the sire of the last Gracious calf to be born.
I have just taken delivery of some semen by a bull call Alexander, he is meant to be the next big thing and he is being used heavily around the world as a sire of sons , so it would be nice to get a couple of Alexander Gracious' running around the place.

Health Status
In keeping with the Elite Herd Health Status , which we hold, today we are TB testing and blood testing animals over 9 months for BVD, LEPTO and JOHNE's.
This is an annual test that ensures we keep the high health levels we have come to expect.
Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious 2 was confirmed in calf the other day, which is a relief as she was starting to prove impossible to get .
Chloanne Webster Gracious calved last week, another bull calf.
Chloanne Goldwyn Gracious 3 calved 3 weeks ago , a heifer calf, i am awaiting DNA results to determine the sire.
Sadly, Chloanne Inkwell died, reason unknown.
