Merry Christmas everyone Hope you have a great day what did everyone get Upto ?

My cochin called Sapphire

I take to many photos , here’s some of my gang

Two of my boys (father 3 years and son 7 months) , Fred and Fredson (how original) Both are generally of gentle nature and get on well , Fred is very friendly and comes up to you and doesn’t mind being handled , fredsons getting there , but generally not aggressive in any form

You’ll get there !

In that picture the calve was just over 2 months

there the same size as my moiled cattle so like medium size ? On handling there not the best but there not the worst , the horns make it awkward to work with in close quarters

This is holly :) and her calve

we have one highland , there more meat than milk

If it helps theses are medium sized so they only get to round 1000lbs

there actually a dual purpose breed , so both milk and meat :)

Thank you ...I try to breed for shorter beaks
