Pedigree Charolais, Limousin and Commercial Cattle from the Rumsden Herd in South East England

Rumsden make the most of BTV vector free period

Departures:

Here at Rumsden we have taken advantage of the BTV vector free period to send a consigment of cattle north to new Charolais breeder Neil Hardisty of How Hall Farm, Cumbria. Heading the consigment was 5 year old stock bull Farleycopse Telemarque, although we have retained an interest in the bull by way of the semen rights. Travelling with Telemarque were two very smart maiden heifers, Rumsden Blackpearl by Tadorne, a maternal sister to Rumsden Udimore, and Rumsden Bluebell by Allanfauld Vagabond, the first calf of show heifer Rumsden Violet, Junior Champion at South of Egland Show.

Also on the wagon was BlackMagic, an Irish bred commercial cow in calf to Telemarque due April 2008, going to join the primarily limousin and blue herd owned by Neil's father, Wilson Hardisty.

We would like to wish the Hardisty family the best of luck with their new purchases.

Arrivals:

Recently arrived from Marting Gibbons Valentino herd is stock bull Rumsden Udimore. Bred at Rumsden, Udi was sold to Martin at 18 months old, and had a very successful show career including standing 2nd at the Royal Show in the 2 year old class. Udi has exceptional bredplan figures and has returned to Rumsden to serve cows and heifers, including daughters of Telemarque now that Tele has moved to pastures new.

Another new arrival is Graywood Coco, and April 2007 born heifer by Dromiskin Viceroy and out of Rumsden Ultra. This one is Ultra's first natural calf, although she has had several by ET. Viceroy is a son of New and has recently hit the top of the Irish BLUP figures. This heifer has a superb pedigree and may be one for the future.
