NEWLY AQUIRED (September 2009)

Badger has consistantly bred well at the
Barbern Herd in Preston, Lancashire and we thank Bernard and Barbara Rimmer for allowing us to purchase him. All being well he will be used on the majority of our herd which are cows sired by Wenlock Jeeves. He is just what we were looking for with good size, excellent conformation and a wonderful temperament - so quiet in fact that our 10 year old grand daughter led him from the box to the field upon his arrival here at Anhay.

The autumn calving portion of the herd are in-calf to Badger and 50% of the spring calving cows as well.

BROADFIELD CONKER

Purchased at the Spring 2008 Hereford Bull Show and Sale he weighed 862 kg at just under 2 years of age. A lovely dark bull with a really good width of hind quarter. He is a well fleshed bull and has been used predominantly on Wenlock Jeeves daughters.
His calves are quite exciting.

Fondly Remembered Boys of Bygone Days

Bred by the very knowledgeable breeder, and subsequently great friend and mentor Mr Geoff Thomas of Weston & Merryhill fame. The Temple herd was noted to have large, quality cattle. A great bull to build the foundation blocks of the herd upon.

BADLINGHAM BROAD LAD

 Born in 1984 and bred at Badlingham, this was a tremendous bull both in the show ring where he won 14 Breed and Inter-breed Championships, & also in the quality of his daughters  which milked so well. Here I must express our appreciation to Mr Colin Clarke, manager at Badlingham, who has become a great friend and been so generous with his advice over the years. EBV Terminal index +24 & self replacing index 27.

EBV Terminal index +22 Self replacing index +28
Escort was only used lightly, but produced 3 super heifers, one of which, A. Mango features in the history of most of the 'M' family.

 Bred by Mr Richard Milner. We now have 4 Plum grand-daughters in the herd from this bull- producing big, strong cattle.

 Another super bull from Badlingham. Blyth bred well for us, leaving cows with good conformation and milking ability & consolidated the Badlingham breeding . A daughter -  A. Morello M11 winning many prizes. Son - A. Winston was used here with much success.

This bull brought 93J back into the breeding again.

ONGUTEIN JERRY

Reserve Bull Of The Year 1994. A trait leader for 200 and 400 day growth with high EBVs of Terminal index +33 & self replacing index +42  and a supper temperament.

  WENLOCK JEEVES

Jeeves, the last Wenlock bull to be bred by Mr R Milner, and recommended to us by Mr C Clarke,  has contributed a great deal to the herd. Consolidating the Badlingham breeding again. His daughters (making up 90% of the herd,) are good milkers, strong & 'like peas in a pod' and his sons are impressive with good growth rates, masculine and beefy.
A half share sold to Mr Merton in Wales.

Crossfoot Digger 

Bred by Mrs M James, Crossfoot Digger was a very tall bull with great presence and his heifers are 'quite smart'.

These bulls have impressed their characteristics and disposition on the herd and have been interspersed with their 'best of the rear' sons to strengthen the depth of breeding within the herd. 

ANHAY DIABLO 136     

Diablo weighed 1200kg at 5 years of age.

ANHAY MANHAY  172 

  Manhay has a beautiful disposition and proved extremely easy to calve from; so was used on the heifers for several seasons before regrettably selling him on.
