President’s Message My first year now being over in the role of society President, and I think I am starting to get the hang of it. While it can sometimes be quite challenging it is a hugely enjoyable role. The visits in my first year have been quite diverse, the highlights being trips to Slovenia and Denver. We were asked to visit Slovenia to give our views on the standard of cattle present on some of the breeder’s farms. The cattle we saw were quite mixed and our hosts asked our advice on how they could improve their herds in both management and quality. We were shown tremendous hospitality by our hosts while acting on the society’s behalf. A visit to the National Stock Show in Denver was a real eye opener and a very pleasurable trip. The Show in Denver lasts for 16 days with a treadmill of breeds in and out of the show yard every day. The American highland breeders were very welcoming and a good display of highlanders were expertly shown, many by teenage handlers, the animals, with one exception, were all very quiet. All animals were not entered for the sale, those which were, met a similar trade to those at our society sale in Oban, except the yearling heifers which were a strong group and sold extremely well. (The judge was not a highland cattle breeder but a well known Simmental breeder in America) The South and Midlands Club were the first off the ground with their area open day, according to all reports the day was a big success attended by over 100 people. Thanks are due to the Tedbury family for hosting the event and to Robin Chilton and Archie McArthur for organising and doing the demonstrations. Going forward I hope the other club’s events, which will take place throughout the coming summer and autumn, are as successful and as many members as possible go along to support these educational and social events, and bring as many interested parties along with them. Despite the utterly horrendous long winter and lack of Spring in many parts of the United Kingdom, the calving will all be nearly rounded up by the time you are reading this. I can only hope that everyone’s calving has been more successful than our own, where some desperately cold, wet days took their toll with cows and calves alike looking very miserable despite eating and licking their way through more silage and feed blocks than I can ever remember for a winter. Commercial cattle prices are at an all time high and it would be nice to see a boost to our society sales. Well presented steers sold to advantage at the recent Caledonian Marts native breed sale and more outlets are looking for finished highland cattle, this can only bode well for the beef end of our breed. Congratulations to all our exhibitors at the Society’s February Show and Sale for providing a very good standard of entries .Our male champion, Maclean of Allanfearn, bred and brought out by Maureen MacArthur and John Ashton, was the two year old champion and overall male. The champion senior heifer, Isbeal 19th of Carsaig, from Lady Lithgow’s Fold led a very strong female section. Our stand at the Royal Highland Show this year will be expanded to incorporate a separate area for recruitment of new members, breed promotion and selling merchandise to the general public at the show. For those of you exhibiting at the summer shows I wish you good luck and thank you for keeping our breed in the public eye, the coverage in the press is like getting a free advert for our breed. Next year there is going to be a world congress in New Zealand in November, further details of this are available on request from Hazel. With more highland cows now being crossed it is important to the society that our members with pure cattle try to ensure these cattle are registered. While every effort is being made to keep costs down, the running of the society does require quite a lot of income to keep things running to the standard that we all like. Hazel is a treasured asset to the society as she not only acts as secretary but also fundraiser, sponsorship is only one of her specialities, and ambassador for our breed. She is very ably assisted by Janet who makes sure that the accounts are kept up to date and Hilary who amongst other things is in charge of registrations. You would not believe some of the things requested of them and they take it all in their stride. I would like to sign off by wishing you good health and a successful year one and all.

For members resident in EC countries VAT is chargeable on all services supplied by the Society unless they are registered in their own country for VAT and their breeding enterprise is an activity included within the scope of their VAT registration i.e. if your Highland cattle expenses are not allowable against your VAT registered business we must charge you VAT. If you are registered in your country for VAT please ensure that you advise the office of your VAT registration number. A VAT free invoice cannot be issued without this number.

PAYMENTS FROM OVERSEAS Overseas members are reminded that the Society cannot accept responsibility for charges levied by banks when payments from outside the United Kingdom are made to the Society. The Society must receive the full amount stated on the invoice. Payments from overseas can be made by the following means: • Credit Card Payments can be taken directly at the Society office • By a bank draft in pounds sterling drawn on a British bank. • Direct transfer in pounds sterling to the Society’s account - payment can be made direct to the Society’s account. Kindly let the Society know when such a payment is made as it can be difficult to identify such payments from our bank statements. The person paying the account should ensure that the Society receives the full amount specified on the invoice after bank charges have been deducted both by his own bank and by the receiving bank in Scotland. Please also ensure the bank quotes our invoice number in bank reference. When sending payments in pounds sterling direct to our bank account please give your bank our bank details which are Bank of Scotland, 63 Drumlanrig Street, Thornhill, DG3 5LY Account No: 00167939 Sort Code: 801902 You should also give them the following account numbers: IBAN Number IBAN GB61 BOFS 8019 0200 1679 39 SWIFT BIC BOFSGB21186 If you do send money direct to our bank account it is most important that you advise this office of the amount transferred to the Highland Cattle Society account. The name of the payee is not always given on our bank statement so please send a copy of the documentation you receive from your own bank relating to the transfer of your money. Please state on any payments to the Highland Cattle Society the invoice number or your 3 holding letters.
PAYMENT BY EUROGIRO In most countries in Europe you can apply to your post office to send a payment by Eurogiro. They will ask you to complete a form giving your name and the amount you wish to send and the name and address of The Highland Cattle Society. I have been advised here that the charge made by Eurogiro for this service is much less than the charges made by banks. When you have completed the form and paid the money to your post office they will send the form and payment via your main Girobank Office to our Girobank head office in the UK who in turn will send us the payment. Girobank have advised that the payment should come through to us in approximately ten days in the form of a cheque which can be paid into our bank with no further charges.
BIRTH NOTIFICATIONS AND HERD BOOK REGISTRATIONS All members owning pedigree Highland Cattle who have completed the necessary initial documentation will be sent registration forms to enable them to notify the births of all pedigree calves and to indicate which ones are to be registered in the Herd Book. The NEW STYLE BIRTH NOTIFICATION FORMS (NSBNF) are available now for breeders who want them and are sent out upon request or available to download from www.highlandcattlesociety. com. Every birth should be notified including castrated bull calves, deceased calves and cross calves. The births of all bull calves must be notified in the year of birth (see Registration of Bulls in this section). Breeders with calves to register in the current year should ensure that they have received registration forms from the office and any member owning pedigree Highland Cattle who has not received forms should contact the office. The Registration Fees increase as the cattle get older, please see the fees section on page 4. Final Herd Book Proof: Breeders must confirm that registered animals have been correctly described by signing and returning the Final Herd Book Proof sent to them prior to publication of the Herd Book. If this is not done their animals will not be published in the Herd Book. Overseas breeders are strongly advised to check with the Society first if they wish to register an animal in the Highland Cattle Herd Book e.g. before purchase or using AI. Breeders intending to sell cattle at Society sales should ensure that the relevant Birth Notification/Registration Forms are submitted by the closing date for sale entries.
FOLD UPDATES Breeders will be sent an annual census form to help update their records. For example, there may be animals on the list which have been sold or have died or you may have purchased an animal which has not been correctly transferred; there may be male calves which have been castrated or steers which have been sold. It is most important that you update and return the census to the office by the requested date.
REGISTRATION OF FOLD NAME Members are required to register a Fold Name as soon as they have acquired pedigree Highland Cattle to enable the office to deal with transfers of cattle between owners.
IDENTIFICATION OF PEDIGREE HIGHLAND CATTLE Tattooing is no longer mandatory for pedigree Highland calves born on or after 1st January 1998. The decision
6 followed the introduction of compulsory double tagging for all bovines in the European Union. (Note: see FOT and Appendix regulations) Therefore, for all animals born on or after this date, the official EU identity mark on Ministry-approved ear tags will be the definitive identification for pedigree animals at Society sales, for private sales, and for fold inspections. Regulations now require that animals born before 1995 that do not have an official EU identification tag should have a legible tattoo. If you have animals born before 1995 which have been tagged with either an official Ministry tag or a management tag it is most important that you advise the office of the tag number. Animals born during the years 1995 to 1998 must have a single Ministry tag number. Animals born in 1998 and 1999 must have a double tag with the old style Herd Mark followed by 5 digits. In 2000 the regulations changed again with the introduction of the all numeric EU identification tag number. Animals born on or before 17th January 2000 were permitted to use tags with the old style Herd Mark but animals born thereafter are identified with double tags showing the all numeric 6 digit Herd Mark, followed by 6 digits.
APPENDIX REGISTERS The Highland Cattle Herd Book has an appendix register for Highland females found to be of true Highland type but of unproven pedigree (e.g. Not previously registered with the Society. In order that females entered in Appendix A or Appendix B of the appendix register of the Herd Book can be identified as such, ‘appendix’ females must be marked with the appropriate suffix ‘A’ or ‘B’ in waterproof ink on a management tag . No male progeny out of Appendix cows are eligible for registration in the Herd Book. A heifer calf out of an Appendix B female by a registered Highland bull will be accepted into Appendix A. A heifer calf out of an Appendix A female by a registered Highland bull will be accepted into the Herd Book proper. Females accepted into Appendix ‘B’ must remain there regardless of whether pedigree information is subsequently proven. Females in Appendix ‘A’ and Appendix ‘B’ may be exhibited at shows. Females entered in the appendix register are not eligible for use as donor cows for fertilised ovum transfers.
OFFICIAL SOCIETY SALES CERTIFICATES OF PEDIGREE AND OWNERSHIP (CPO) European Union rules require approved breed societies to issue an identity document for each pedigree registered animal stating the breed, breeder, owner, name of animal, date of birth, sex, Herd Book identity, Society method of marking animal, EU identity, and 3 generation pedigree. The current regulations for animal identification in Great Britain are given above. Breeders in Northern Ireland or other EU countries should ensure that they comply with the regulations of their own country. Tags are available from approved tag manufacturers who will refer to a central database when issuing tags to ensure that there is never any duplication. If a tag is lost, a replacement with the identical information on the missing tag must be obtained. The details on the new Certificates of Pedigree and Ownership (CPO) must always correspond with the physical identification and description of the animal. The CPO will replace both the Transfer Certificate and the Export Certificate, although the current charge for transfers and exports will remain in force. The CPO is designed to prevent fraud. It is a valuable document that must be looked after properly. There will be much hassle for the breeder/owner to replace a lost or damaged certificate. Please study the simple instructions on the back of the certificate carefully. Any replacement certificates will incur a £5.00 + vat surcharge.
Always check Sale Schedules, Entry Forms, Sale Entry Receipts, and the Sale Catalogue for full, current regulations. Substitutions in official sale catalogues will not be permitted. Animals incorrectly identified and without adequate proof of identity will be disqualified. A Veterinary Certificate must be submitted for bull calves sold at foot at official Society sales. Calves less than 5 months of age may only be sold at foot with their dams. To allow sufficient time for completion of the sale catalogue, sale entry forms available from the office must be submitted by the closing date of entries, approximately six weeks prior to the sale date. Unhaltered cattle at official sales in Oban will be sold after all haltered entries at the discretion of the auctioneer. Dispersals, reductions or production sales are permitted at sales held under the auspices of the Society. Bulls born after the preceding 28th/29th February are not permitted to be sold at the Society’s spring sale in Oban. Sale catalogues are published on the Society’s website and sent to all vendors and purchasers from the last 2 Society Sales (Oban). Any other person requiring a catalogue should request one from the office. A small charge is made to assist with the cost of production and postage.
7 Young Bulls The yearling bull class classification for Spring Show and Sale in Oban will be for animals born between 1st December of the year before the previous year and last day of February of the previous year. All young bulls must be inspected within 4 weeks prior to the sale and must be registered prior to the sale. Please note that this is only for yearling bulls attending the Oban Spring Sale. Females Three year old heifers must be confirmed in calf and stated on the entry form. This ruling is also to apply to senior heifers for the February show and sale. Sale reserves - unsold animals A levy will be charged at the rate of 5% on the difference between the average sale price for the class of stock and the price at which any animal in that class is withdrawn. Minimum Price There will be a minimum price set for all 2 year old and senior bulls of 1200gns at all sales under the auspices of the Highland Cattle Society.

ENTRY FEES FOR OFFICIAL SALES An entry fee of £10.00 + VAT (£12.00) is due for every animal (except calves at foot) entered in the sale catalogue with effect 1 Oct 2007. Cattle not forward for sale or withdrawn from the catalogue without a valid veterinary certificate will incur a £25+VAT (£30.00) charge.
SALES BY PRIVATE TREATY Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to contact the Society office to check the registration details of any animal offered for sale. In every case where a member sells a pedigree Highlander for breeding purposes by private treaty the current transfer fee must be paid to the Society before the change of ownership is registered. Full instructions are printed on the reverse of the animal’s Certificate of Pedigree and Ownership or Transfer Form. Registration of the progeny in the Highland Cattle Herd Book will be withheld pending completion of the transfer procedure.
CROP EAR Crop Ear is not a sufficiently serious condition to warrant the exclusion from the Herd Book of bulls which are otherwise satisfactory. Notification of Crop Ear in bulls is compulsory. Breeders will be able to choose whether they wish to use a bull with Crop Ear.
AI BULLS Semen from Highland bulls is available from: Conan of Corriemuckloch – bred by TG Muirhead and owned by AR Mackay available through the Society @ £15.00 per straw (plus VAT) available from Genus UK t: 0870 1622000

HIRE OF BULLS AND SERVICE BY AI In cases where a bull is hired or borrowed members are requested to make a note to that effect on their Birth Notification Form stating the name of the owner of the bull. Members are also reminded to submit AI certificates for all calves got by AI with their notification forms.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE REGISTRATION OF PEDIGREE HIGHLAND BULLS No bull can be registered in the Herd Book under the age of 14 months and every bull eligible for registration must have a satisfactory Veterinary Certificate. See exception above regarding Spring Sale. All bull calves must be notified to the Society in the year of birth. Breeders who require a veterinary inspection for a bull should apply to the Society for an inspection certificate in good time. The Society’s Veterinary Certificate has been amended to indicate the presence of crop ear. Bulls with Crop Ear
8 registered after 18th October 1992 can be identified in the Herd Book. Scrotal circumference measurement is optional but breeders are strongly encouraged to obtain this important vital statistic to enhance the Society’s database. All Bulls being registered from 2006 must be DNA tested. DNA kits are held in the office and sent out with vet certificates (and a stamped & addressed envelope) free of charge.
BULL CALVES WITH HERD SIRE POTENTIAL If any breeder thinks he has a bull calf with the potential to make a herd sire and wishes to have advice from one of the Society’s fieldsmen, he is requested to advise the Secretary who will arrange a visit. The fieldsman’s inspection fee is now charged for such visits.
HEIFER CALVES TWINNED WITH BULL CALVES The registration of a heifer calf twinned with a bull calf will be accepted only after she has given birth to a viable calf.
REGISTRATION OF CALVES OF MORE THAN ONE COLOUR Registration in the Herd Book of cattle of more than one colour (parti colour) is permitted. Breeders are required to indicate the colours when notifying the birth.
Basic qualifications for the use of a sire for FOT • The sire must be a pedigree Highland bull which has been: • registered in the Highland Cattle Herd Book; • DNA-typed by a recognised DNA-typing agency; Procedures for embryo registration • Each embryo which is either frozen or implanted is to be registered with the Highland Cattle Society by the Embryo Transplant (ET) Unit on behalf of the owner of the dam by the submission of the following: • A Highland Cattle Society Embryo Registration Form completed and signed by the veterinary officer who carried out the flushing. (Up to 16 Embryos may be recorded on each form); • A relevant AI Certificate or signed Certificate of Service. • A copy of the Embryo Registration Form is to be retained by the owner of the donor dam (the breeder’s copy) until submitted to the Highland Cattle Society when the resultant calf is registered. A further copy of the Embryo Registration Form is to be retained for record purposes by the ET Unit which carried out the flushing (the ET Unit’s copy). Procedures for the registration of an FOT calf • Registration of an FOT calf will be accepted by the Highland Cattle Society upon the receipt of the following documents: • DNA-typed by a recognised DNA-typing agency (Sire, Dam & Calf ); • the breeder’s copy of the EMBRYO REGISTRATION FORM; • A completed FOT BIRTH REGISTRATION FORM;

CHAMPION ROSETTES The Society Breed Champion Rosette will be awarded at summer shows provided that five or more Highland Cattle are forward for judging and that the judge is appointed from the Society’s Panel of Judges.
RULES FOR SELECTION OF INTERBREED TEAMS Rules for choosing the Interbreed team: Rules for choosing the Interbreed team: • The Judge, along with an individual spokesman chosen by the exhibitors shall be responsible for choosing the Interbreed team and the Spokesman, or someone delegated by him, shall ensure that the proper notice of the composition of the team is given to the appropriate authority within the specified time. • In the absence of the Spokesman, the Judge shall co-opt whomsoever he pleases to assist him in choosing the team and shall ensure that he or someone delegated by him notifies the appropriate authority within the specified time. • In the absence of the Spokesman or the Judge the exhibitors shall decide amongst themselves who will be responsible for the choice of team. They shall agree on a leader who must ensure that someone is responsible for notifying the appropriate authority of the team within the specified time limit. Mindful that showing is meant to be an enjoyable activity care should be taken to involve all those who have taken the time and trouble to represent the breed to the public.
SHOW FOLD COMPETITION Rules • Any open show where there are 2 or more exhibitors (with at least a total of 10 exhibits present) forward and a panel judge officiating will be a qualifying show. • Competitors count the results of their 5 best shows. • The first three places only in each single animal class will count as follows:- 3 points for a first; 2 points for a second; 1 point for a third. • An additional point will be awarded to each animal placed if it is bred by the exhibitor. • Because it is difficult to obtain results from many of the smaller shows the competition will be self-administered. • Competitors must calculate their own points for each show and submit their calculations and results in writing to the office. Each competitor must sign a declaration testifying to the correctness of the points calculated.
SMALL FOLD COMPETITION Rules: • Breeders with eight or fewer cows in their Fold that are three years old or over as at 1st January 2011, will qualify for this competition.
• The same rules apply as above but breeders must advise the office if they are competing in the Small Fold Competition. • Results of both competitions must be submitted by 30th September.
Voluntary Bull Assessment Scheme Following Annual General meeting and general dicsusion and requests from many members a voluntary bull assessment will be put in place to start from 15th November 2013 to 15th December 2013. This scheme will be purely voluntary and available to all members who wish to have their bulls inspected. Bulls forward for the scheme will be inspected by any 2 society fieldsmen. The assessment will work on a pass or fail basis. Bulls that have passed have obtained a 50% minimum. Bulls over 16 months old will be eligible for assessment. If you wish to find out more on this voluntary scheme please contact society office, also more details will follow in autumn newsletter.

BREED STANDARD The description of the Highland male and female as published in the preamble to the first Herd Book is as valid now as then. The description may thus be termed the Breed Standard.
THE HEAD Of all the representatives of our British bovine breeds, the Highlander has the grandest and most picturesque head; it is, indeed, to his head that he owes his great favour among artists. As a rule, it is most proportionate to the body of the animal, and is broad between the eyes, while short from the eyes to the point of the muzzle. The forelock between the eyes should be wide, long and bushy, and any nakedness or bareness there is certain to detract from the appearance of the animal. Some would almost have the hair so wide there as to obscure the eyes, but this in many cases would be allowing one good point to over-shadow another. The eyes should be bright and full, and denoting, when excited, high courage. When viewed sideways, there should be a proportionate breadth of the jawbones readily observable, when compared with the width of the head in front, whilst the muzzle should, when looked
at from a similar point, be short, though very broad in front, and with the nostrils fully distended, and indicating breeding in every way. One of the most noteworthy features in a Highlander, is of course, the horns. In the bulls, the horns should be strong, and come level out of the head, slightly inclining forwards, and also slightly rising towards the points. Some, however, do not care for this rise, though any drooping is considered to be a very bad fault when between the crown and the commencement of the curve, as this is generally accompanied by a low weak back. Some, too, are of opinion that the masculine appearance is slightly detracted from when the horns rise directly from the crown. This, however, can only readily be detected and commented upon when particular animals are brought before experienced judges, as within a show ring. As regards the horns of the cow, there prevail two opinions. As a rule, they come squarer out from the head than in the male, rise sooner, and are
11
somewhat longer, though they preserve their substance and a rich reddish appearance to the very tips. The lack of the appearance of substance or “sappiness� about the horns of the male would be very much against the animal in the show-yard. The other taste is that for a female, the horns of which come more level from the head, with a peculiar back set curve, and very wide sweep. A large number of enthusiastic breeders seem to prefer, by comparison, the latter, which gives possibly the more graceful appearance. In all cases, however, the horns of a Highlander, when well set, gives the animal a stamp of nobility which causes it to attract the attention of any stranger who might pass heedlessly by animals of other breeds as merely cows, bulls or oxen.
THE NECK AND SHOULDER The neck should be altogether clear and without dewlap below. It should form a straight line from the head to the shoulder in the cow, but in the bulls should have that distinct crest common to all animals of the bovine species. This crest should come gracefully down to the roots of the horns, and, being well coated with wavy hair, the masculine appearance of the animal is fully completed. The shoulder should be thick and should fill out greatly as it descends from the point to the lower extremity of the forearm.
BACK, BODY, AND HIND-QUARTERS From behind the shoulder the back should be fully developed and beautifully rounded. Any slight sinking or hollow is most decidedly objectionable. It should also, as in the Ayrshire, be as straight as possible, and the ribs should spring boldly out and be both well rounded and deep. When measured across the hips the breadth should be very great, and the quarters should be exceedingly well developed from the hips backwards. The thighs should also be well developed, and should show great fullness. Viewed generally, the quarters should be square between the hips and the tail, and from be-
tween the tail right down to between the hind feet. The legs, both before and behind, should be short and strong, the bones strong, broad, and straight, the hoofs well set in and large, and the legs well feathered with hair. The animal should be set wide between the fore-legs, and it should move with great dignity and style, as this is considered to be one of the most reliable evidences of careful and true breeding.
HAIR The hair, of which there should be a great profusion, more particularly on the parts indicated, should be long and gracefully waved, very much as in what dog-breeders denote wavycoated retrievers. To have a curl is to possess a decided fault, and one which has of late years become unfortunately too common in some folds. This has been attributed in some quarters to a growing desire to make Highlanders grow big from feeding them higher and housing them more. At anyrate, experience goes far to prove that the more exposed they are the greater the profusion of the hair, and the less its tendecy to curl. Thus, the reason of the island cattle being always so much better haired than the mainland cattle is owing to their never being housed in winter. The usual colours are black, brindled, red, yellow, and dun, and there is considerable difference of opinion among breeders as to which is preferable. In general, as to colour, it may be said that a good herd should possess a mixture - avoiding always all those which indicate unhealthy thrivers. The thickness of the skin, as in all fattening breeds, comes in for a considerable amount of attention, but it has to be borne in mind always that the Highlander has been adapted by nature to withstand great exposure. Inverness, 10th June, 1885. The scheme of assessment is suspended, but the quality of males and females will be monitored by the Council member responsible for Breed Development. Assessment by three fieldsmen for AI bulls is compulsory.

Club News North of Scotland Highland Cattle Club Summer Shows Overall numbers of Highland cattle being exhibited at local shows were again down on the year; however it was encouraging to see some new exhibitors on the circuit which bodes well for the future. Thanks go to committee members and other members who helped provide hospitality at many of the shows, the Finnie Family, Jim & Sheila Fraser, John Ashton & Maureen MacArthur to name but a few. Open Day – the North Club had planned an Open Day at the Culfoich Fold in August but due to the sad death of Club Member Moira McConachie it was decided to cancel it. We hope to hold another Open Day in the future – now confirmed as Saturday 9th November 2013 at Dingwall Mart – more details to follow during the summer. Summer 2012 trips The Club continues to offer members great trips all over the country – below is a report from committee member Pat McWilliam on a trip to Mull enjoyed by some members in September;
North of Scotland Highland Cattle Club 2012 Trip to Mull After a few anxious days when ferries were disrupted and 100 mile winds were blowing over Mull the club’s intrepid driver arrived at the ferry to find flat calm and sunshine.
After a comforting and tasty bowl of soup at the Salen Hotel we departed for The Cnoc-Na Sith Fold of Iain MacKay, where we saw his hardy stock in the lovely setting of Torloisk Estate. We walked a short distance in the sunshine to see his beautiful youngsters. We then went back to the byre for a fly cup and a dram, where Iain was playing Scottish music to his newly haltered yearlings. The spread was very tasty and diets were put on the back burner!! We then proceeded to travel around the ‘top’ of the island, past some truly spectacular scenery including Calgary Bay, to our hotel, The Western Isles, Tobermory. Tobermory was a real eye opener, built on a steep hill with stunning views over the bay, towards the Sound of Mull.

Saturday was a busy day as we retraced our steps to visit Tom Nelson at Glengorm Castle, on the North of the island. Looking out to sea, past the edge of Coll and behind Rum we were lucky enough to see Harris fade in and out of sight as the mist came and went. The Coolins of Skye were visible behind Ardamurachen. The views were so stunning we often forgot to look at the equally stunning cattle, ably looked after by Angus McColl. We saw several leaning electric poles hanging on to the shallow soil, just! We were then treated to a tasty lunch in the Castle, with highland beef sandwiches, with a gravy to die for.
We departed to visit Shirley and Bob Strachan’s Cailaich Fold where we were treated to a stock judging competition with sheep, pure highlanders and Hi x shorthorn yearlings penned for our deliberations. The competition was won by Butcher, Paul Smith, well done Paul. We saw Shirley and Bob’s superb black highland cows, with calves almost as big as their mothers and her highland cows with x shorthorn calves.
HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Again the hospitality was unbelievable and the time and effort that people were willing to prepare for our visit was very much appreciated. We returned to the hotel and hosted a dinner for all the folds we had, and were to visit.
Sunday awoke to another bright, but colder day and we headed south to Pennygowan Estate to visit Hugh, Elizabeth and James MacPhail at their Callachally Fold where after seeing a very impressive lineup of young stock, both heifers and bulls, our brave driver took the bus, off road (don’t tell Maureen!) to drive up the Glen to see the pure highland cows and calves and then the cows with cross shorthorn calves. Hugh casually pointed to a distant hill and told us that his ground went about 9 miles that way! I now understand why some Highlanders do not understand the concept of a fence!! We were treated to Elizabeth’s fantastic tray bakes with her famous gingerbread. It was excellent!! We then crossed the water to visit Donald MacGillivray and his family at Pennygowan Fold.
23
We were treated to a view of their new purchase from Germany, a young heifer that has been winning ribbons since she came on the island. She knows just how beautiful she is too, and stands up like a champion!! (North Club connection – the Father of this heifer was bred at Culfoich and sold to Germany in a private deal)
I personally have never been to Mull but found the scenery stunning, the cattle hardy, good looking and doing a grand job of producing good strong calves, but it was the kindness and hospitality of the people that I will remember the most.
Donald had quite a few cows for us to see in bye, as he was weaning calves for the forthcoming sales. They had a mix of pure and shorthorn cross calves, and were making an excellent job of their calves. He had some chunky, well grown young highland bulls just down the road, for us to see too. Donald and family hosted a heartwarming lunch of soup and sandwiches with more stunning home bakes, before we set off to catch the ferry for the mainland and the long drive home.
A great big thank you to you all.
Nice cardigan Craig !!!!

Midlands & Southern Highland Cattle Club The first official event for 2012 was our A.G.M. held at Ullesthorpe Court, Leicestershire in February. Despite a very cold and snowy morning 19 members attended and we were pleased to be joined by Hazel representing H.C.S. Our new Chairman, Eric Barr took office and new President, Josie Barr was installed. Once again this year one of our members, Annie Perkins was asked to take some of her Highlanders to an event called Countrytastic held at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern. This is a wonderful event geared for children to explain to them where their food comes from and to allow them to have hands on experience with the animals. The Show will be held again this year on 4th April 2013 (countrytastic.co.uk) with Countryfile’s Adam Henson in attendance.
the feed mill. Everything is run by computer and is all automated so much so that the machine will know as soon as any of the rollers are opened and grain taken out. The feed mill produces 2000 tonnes of feed every week for a variety of animals, not only cows but also llama, alpaca, goats, chickens, sheep and pheasants. After the tour was over we were ready for lunch provided by Heygates with tasty cakes and sandwiches; no doubt with bread made using their own flour. It was a very interesting and successful visit.
The show season went well for members of the club although unfortunately due to the weather our Club Show at Blakesley Agricultural Show had to be cancelled. We hope that it will go ahead this year. Our congratulations must go to Robert and Sandie Tedbury of the Hardham Highlands Fold for winning this year’s Highland Show Fold Competition awarded by H.C.S. and Robert Wain of the Rose Fold for coming second in the small fold section.
Our first visit of the year was to Heygates Flour Mill in Northampton on 21st April. Many of you are probably familiar with their animal feed rather than the flour side of the business all of which has been owned by the Heygate family since 1562 and still is today. Nowadays the Bugbrooke Mill is the most modern flour mill in the U.K. even having its own test bakery. After an introductory talk, we were provided with protective clothing split into two groups and shown around the flour mill and
On Saturday, 8th September we were blessed with a beautiful, late summer day for the club visit to the fold of John, Val and Lizzie Monk at Manor Farm, Chadwich near Bromsgrove. There were clear blue skies and with the warmth of the sun it was ideal weather to be outside.The Chadwich Fold is over 400 acres and is set within some beautiful rolling countryside containing a mix of habitat. The farm was originally and until recently, a diary farm. At present there are 450 ewes, 50 Limousin sucklers and 60 Highland Cattle developed from two cows bought as an anniversary present and now a prize winning fold (John recently won our new fold competition to add to his many other awards). The morning was spent taking a tour around the farm buildings and then wandering down into the fields of Highland cattle where we saw a whole mix of colours, all typical of the breed. The first barn that we looked into is turned into a festive stable at Christmas for the local children to visit when their parents come to buy Christmas trees and visit the farm shop. After an excellent lunch we took a trailer ride to visit the rest of the farm to see the sheep and Limousin cattle. Then we went back to the garden for tea followed by a tour of the gallery and pottery developed by Lizzie Monk in another barn. As well as having the opportunity to buy gifts, visitors to the farm have the opportunity to take part in fun workshops, which are very popular for children’s birthday parties. Our visit was excellent and we had a lovely informative day. Later in September an Open day was held in West Sussex at the Hardham Highland Fold of Rob and Sandie Tedbury. Rob and Sandie had worked hard to provide a range of talks and demonstrations to promote and improve the breed along with advice on showing. There was also veterinary advice and a number of trade exhibitors present along with the Small Holders Association who were happy to answer questions. The day was well attended and visitors were provided with plenty of information to think about. Robert and Sandie were grateful for the support that they received from friends and fellow club members and trust that the day will have been a great help to everyone who attended.
Eric Barr.
Unfortunately another successful year has been overshadowed by the death of our Chairman, Eric Barr in August. Eric had joined the club at its beginning, serving on the committee for many years and recently holding the position of President. His association with the breed had begun in 1982 when two Highland in-calf cows had arrived at his dairy farm in Cosby, Leicestershire. In the early 1990’s he had been asked to be a fieldsman and judge for the Highland Cattle Society, jobs which he was still doing despite having retired in 2000. A measure of the regard in which Eric was held by the farming world was shown by the large number of people who attended his funeral at Narborough and afterwards at Stoney Stratford. We are pleased that Josie is still a member of our committee acting as show co-ordinator. Thanks go to our Vice-Chairman Robert Tedbury who guided us through to the end of the year and welcome him as our new Chairman. We look forward to an exciting new year as we organise a visit to the Hook Norton Brewery, a fold visit to the Rose Fold in Derbyshire, our show at Blakesley and a show and sale at Worcester. Finally may we thank all the office holders and committee members for their support over the last year and also to all members without whom there would not be a club. If you would like to join the MSHCC please do get in touch and contact the club, secretary, Elizabeth Gwynn, via email kingsmill@talktalk.net or tel. 01989 750233.

West of Scotland Highland Cattle Club 2012 was a very busy year for the West Club which started with our AGM in the Fenwick Hotel who provided the 50 members present with a fine 3 course meal. At the meeting chaired by Alan Kennedy, reports were given about the year’s activities. Roddy McDougall was elected to be our newest committee member (strange that it was our turn to provide the hospitality and meal at the RHS in 2012).
Stephen Hunter gave the report on the ups and downs of the 2012 show season where a number of shows in our area were cancelled due to the weather. However, the shows that did take place were well supported by members and he congratulated all who took part.
Neilston Show had a class of 14 yearlings which gave James MacGillivray a great deal to think about. The 2012 Show Fold competition was again highly competitive and was eventually won by Ronald McMillan and Eileen Lawrence, Isle of Bute Fold, with the Thomsons of Woodneuk second and Glasgow City Council in third place.
Our day visit was to the Isle of Bute on a glorious day in May. We visited Bealach Ruighe Fold of the Crawford family at Stuck Farm then on to Scoobie at Isle of Bute Fold, Little Grenach Farm. Both visits were highly enjoyable and we saw some great cattle, wonderful scenery and a lot of food which we managed to devour. Thanks to both folds.
The Royal Highland Show was the next major event for club members where on the Wednesday night we had a bbq at Tom’s caravan. On to the show the next day where ex-club chairman and former Society president William Thomson was the judge. The Society tent was manned by a rota of club members and thanks go to all who offered their help, baking and sponsorship. The meal was masterminded by Roddy McDougall and Alan Kennedy with their team of helpers who served a fantastic meal to over 120 people on the Thursday night.
27 The annual weekend trip this year was to Islay. A total of 37 members joined the trip and because there were so many of us we had to book rooms at 2 hotels in Port Ellen. We all ate in the Islay Hotel where the food was superb and the bar was jumping. The owner certainly was pleased to see us and invited us back any time. The visits were organised by Alan and Jeannie Hogg, Ceannacroic Fold, and we would like to thank them for all the work they put in before and during our visit. Thanks must also go to all the folds we visited. They must have felt like they were being invaded by a line of 4 x 4’s but they all made us very welcome.
Our club show in August was again well supported, with just under 40 cattle presented to our judge Ewan Mackay. The eventual champion was a red cow from Glasgow City Council and the reserve a 2 year old heifer from the McKechnies.

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Highland Cattle Club of Wales The year started with a showing preparation day held at Gilden Vale Fold for beginners. They came, they washed, they handled and they learnt! So great was their gain in confidence that after attending the Smallholders to observe, Bev Evans and Simon Hill went on to show at the Royal Welsh and won the three year old heifer class, subsequently winning the cup for the best female and the reserve champion.
At RWAS in July, almost all exhibitors won or came second, and the judge Liz Shaw gave them useful guidance in her comments, which was much appreciated. Congratulations to Angela and Duncan Handley, who showed the Highland Champion, known as Paddy, and congratulations to everyone who came and showed, several of you for the first time! There was a popular buffet for members and competitors on Monday evening. I would like to thank those members of the club who regularly attend large and small shows to exhibit their animals: your experience and help gives new members the confidence to try it themselves, and several people remarked on the friendliness and team effort in the Highland lines. The May held an interesting and informative Open Day in September, with two judges experienced in commercial cattle looking at the animals and assessing them. It is to Geoff’s credit that he was prepared to put his animals through an independent assessment that would have caused any breeder the odd sleepless night. The Highlanders presented a challenge which both gentlemen rose to magnificently, and everyone had a lovely day, with many thanks to Annie for her catering.
The club stand at the Smallholders Festival in May was superbly set up and manned by the Ford family, and despite not having animals on the stand, the club received a cheque for the second prize in the stand competition. There were show classes for the second year at the Festival, and Gilden Vale took the Traditional Rare and Native Cattle Breeds Champion and Reserve Champion. Annie May and Geoff Spawton’s bull won his class as well, so it was a good weekend for the exhibitors.
Hazel attended the club AGM and Christmas Dinner in Llandovery and was able to meet more members. It was an enjoyable evening, with a quiz and much conversation. The HCCW website continues to attract interest for sales and the show diary. The Administrator will be updating the structure during 2013 to make it more user friendly. The club is looking forward to the Smallholders and Garden Festival at Builth, the Royal Welsh Show in July and a Society Open Day towards the end of the year (date and venue to be confirmed). A new native cattle sale has been proposed in Llandovery for April, and Beef Expo will be at Malvern in May.
North of England Highland Cattle Club The weather in 2012 wasn’t kind to the North of England Club events. Our club show, the Highland Fling at Sheffield had to be cancelled for the first time in its 10 year history much to everyone’s dismay. We all look forward to the first show of the season to catch up with old friends after the winter and make new ones among the fresh faces who are keen to show. To compensate members of the committee did a wonderful job organising an alternative event in June at Chelford Auction Mart who we can’t thank enough for their help and cooperation throughout the weekend.Everyone who attended had a great time and around 20 new buddies gained confidece and experience handling their animals.

For our fold visit we were welcomed to the home of Mervyn and Lucy France and their family. Set in picturesque countryside with a distant view of Morcambe Bay it was a delight to walk among their cattle. We were plied with delicious cakes and coffee on arrival followed by a hearty lunchtime barbecue. Lovely!! After lunch we judged cattle and watched a foot trimming demonstration expertly carried out by Mandy Cameron before enjoying a stroll along the riverbank to end a lovely day. We couldn’t have done that the following week as the path was flooded.

Next came the Great Yorkshire Show. Nothing great about it this year, just a sea of mud. What a shame after all the effort and expense that goes into it. Luckily Tuesday’s judging went ahead followed by the usual barbecue before the show was cancelled and everyone packed their sodden stuff up and left for home. One highlight was an auction held on the Tuesday evening to raise funds for the club and the Air Ambulance. Simon Haley managed to procure donations from many sources and over £1, 000 was raised.
Steve & Sally Leighton in the ring between downpours.
Some shows went ahead after that but we only managed to attend 3 all season, I really missed those days and hope this year proves to be better. The AGM was held once again at Berties in Elland incorporating our Christmas meal. Attendance was low this year but it was an enjoyable day with a friendly atmosphere..The prizegiving took place after the business with Seam Fold, Simon and Emma Haley winning the small fold trophy and Annabelle being deservedly named young person of the year. The large fold trophy went to Robert and Wendy Phillip.’ pipping Gary Braines this year ! Well done to all prize winners. Robin Chilton decided to step down from committee after more years than I can count. Robin’s wit and wisdom will be a great miss at meetings. Thankyou Robin for all you have done for the club in the past and all I’m sure you will continue to do in the future. Here’s looking forward to a lucky 2013 with the club continuing to thrive Lynne Ridley Chairperson

East of Scotland Highland Cattle Club Our first official event for 2012 was our AGM in January which was held in the Royal George Hotel, Perth and attended by 29 members. We welcomed two new members on to our committee, Kim Henderson and John Singer.
The main event on our agenda was the club show on 5th May at West Busby Farm, Methven. It was a beautiful day and the turnout of cattle a credit to all who made the effort to enter their stock and make the show such a success. Our judge on the day was Archie McArthur who certainly had his work cut out but he thoroughly enjoyed the task. His choice of champion on the day was the 3yr old heifer Ruby of Allanfearn from Maureen MacArthur and John Ashton and reserve was Alan and Mary-Ann Blackburn’s two year old Eilidh 3rd of Roisbheinn. Our young handler was Andrew Morton . For the first time ever we had a sponsor for our young handler. Dave Peebles from Auto Services, Perth presented Andrew with a beautiful show stick. Another new class on the day was the novice handler and the successful young man was Colin Smith who was presented with a tankard kindly donated by Mr & Mrs Blackburn. The ‘mature handler’ which is our ‘fun class’ was Mary Ann Blackburn. Prizes were handed over by Archie’s wife Anne and we then retreated to the ‘gang hut’ for yet another very well organised bbq . Our first outing was the day trip on Sunday 27th may to the North Club show at Leys Castle. What a fantastic setting and it was a lovely warm and sunny day - we all came home with a sun-tan!! All of us who made the trip were not disappointed. The bbq provided was much enjoyed by all and our fellow members in the North Club certainly
did themselves proud to have such a great show of cattle. Their champion on the day was again John and Maureen’s 3yr old heifer Ruby. Another big success this year was that of club members Alan and Mary-Anne Blackburn at the Royal Highland Show, taking supreme champion with Eilidh 3rd of Roisbheinn. Next event was the treasure hunt in July. This took us around the Carse of Gowrie and was very well organised by Jim and Norma Farquharson and prizes for this were gifted by Jim & Norma, Cairn O’Mohr Winery and the Taylor family (Taypack). The amount of £110 which was raised from entries was donated to the stroke unit at P.R.I. Although the weather was a little bit wet those of us who tackled the event had a lot of fun. A few of the ‘locals’ who came along thought they had it ‘in the bag ‘ but alas for them the winners on the day were Bill and Sandra wilson - well done them! (think they must have been the only ones who ‘read’ the clues properly). We all retreated to the Glencarse Hotel for high tea .
September was our club trip to Charlie Bruce at Bogside, King Edward, who very kindly agreed to have us for an afternoon visit. We left on the Friday and spent our two nights at the Banff Springs Hotel. On the Saturday morning we had time to visit the Glendronach distillery. This was really a very interesting visit and I think one of the more profitable ones for the distillery itself in sales. Our visit to Charlie on the Saturday afternoon was great and the highlight of our weekend. We were taken out on the hill to see his highlanders and all were looking very well. On our return to the farm we were given the opportunity to visit his butchery. Young Charles had done a roast of Highland beef on the bbq which
was much enjoyed by all. Charlie was presented by a stick, made by John Lacey, from the club as a token of thanks. A good weekend had by all!
Last event for the year was our club dance on 24th November. We had a fairly good turnout of members and a good night was had by all. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the same night as the Christmas lights were being switched on and half of the streets in Perth were closed and diversion signs up just to confuse even us locals – but hey we all eventually arrived albeit a little late!! Our annual trophies this year were presented to: Lady handler – Jenne Singer Points trophy – Donald & Bryon MacNaughton. Our chairperson for 2013 is Sandy Barrie Vice-chair - Ginny Stacy-Marks, Secretary/treasurer - Ann Taylor.
A trailer full of folk!
Groomed and ready for the summer show season.

“Guaranteed Pure Highland Beef” Trade Mark The Society is the registered proprietor of the “Guaranteed Pure Highland Beef” (GPHB) Certification Mark and these are the rules governing the use of the name and the device on the label. 1. The authorised users of the GPHB certification scheme may be members of the Society as breeders, feeders, and finishers, and non-members as feeders and finishers who are able to prove the identity of any animal intended to be sold as GPHB. 2. Any individual, company or organisation may become an authorised user if they are able to demonstrate compliance with the rules of the GPHB scheme. 3. Abattoirs need not be members of the scheme as they are only used to provide the slaughter facility. Ownership of the carcase remains with the consignor who is responsible for proper identification and traceability at all times. 4. The definitive method of identification is by the prescribed official ear tags. The Society uses for its own Pedigree Register the same information that must be supplied to the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) duly certified by the breeder/keeper in accordance with the law.
5. Carcase labelling is mandatory, and is strictly controlled by attaching special identification labels completed in the office of the Society to GPHB carcases in the abattoir immediately after slaughter. Only abattoirs able to comply with this requirement are authorised for GPHB slaughter. Producers must advise the Society beforehand of the name of the abattoir and the date of slaughter. 6. The procedure for issuance of a Certificate of Pedigree and Ownership (CPO) is by application to the Society by the party requiring the CPO. The applicant must be able to prove the provenance of the animal concerned by demonstrating the chain of ownership. In most instances this will already be known to the Society by means of compliance with the Transfer of Ownership regulations. 7. A CPO issued by the Society to an end user - a retailer - will only be valid for six weeks, unless a request for renewal in writing is made to the Society. The original certificate must be returned to the Society. 8. No GPHB labels will be supplied without a relevant CPO. Unused labels must be returned with the expired CPO.

HINTS & TIPS FOR NEW BREEDERS / OWNERS The Society is indebted to the North of England Highland Cattle Breeders Club for allowing the main points of their booklet for new breeders to be reproduced here. Aimed mainly at the ever growing numbers of people who enjoy the breed and are beginning to establish a fold, this section sets out some basics for the new breeder/owner which they may not have thought of or are afraid to ask about.
1. Why Choose Highland Cattle? The Highland is not just a pretty face; its greatest assets are hardiness and vigour. It thrives on the roughest land in the coldest and wettest climates and it will eat fodder other breeds will not touch. In short The Highland Cattle can live and breed where other cattle would simply die. The breed is environmentally friendly, their foraging ability dramatically improving sheep grazing, which is most valuable on hill and marginal land (severely disadvantaged less favoured areas). Highland cattle are now to be found in all fi ve continents of the world. In Sweden it is the only breed allowed by law to be out-wintered. Their unique double coat, designed to protect the animals from the wet as well as the cold, allows them to live out all the year round and saves on expensive housing. They require less veterinary care, with mainly routine dosing. Also renowned for their longevity cows can produce up to 15 calves in an 18-20 year period. The cows are exceptional mothers and with sensible stockmanship they calve easily, rarely needing help. However, they are very protective, so keep your distance; even if you cannot see where the calf is, the cow can! A pair of binoculars is invaluable for monitoring the situation during this period. Finally, these cattle produce the finest beef from lower quality forage than any other breed. They do this and improve the land and the view – what more could you ask!
2. Fences and Fencing This section is a series of extracts from an article written by A D Kitson, Esq., for the Yorkshire Farmer. Cattle can be contained within strong fences that would not necessarily contain sheep and lambs. It is said a cattleman will examine the top of a fence or hedge and a sheep man the bottom. As many breeders run their Highland Cattle with other animals a full description of fences and fencing is presented so a range of options may be considered. It should be noted that a bull must have specifically strong fencing and advice should be taken in the event of the reader wishing to construct a bull pen. Extracts A fencing contractor is asked regularly “what is the best type of fencing”? This is a “how long is a piece of string” type question. So many factors can influence this decision and without looking at every individual need it is impossible to give a specific answer. However, one thing can be said is that with the development of modern fencing materials, it is possible to tailor a fence to
meet the needs of almost everyone. The requirements stretch from vale to moor and for animals as far removed as sheep to ostriches. Different materials and fencing techniques can be mixed and matched to fulfil almost every requirement. It is very important that the correct type of fencing is selected for the job it is intended and that it is correctly erected, otherwise the fence simply will not fulfil the job in hand and will not last long. Having said all this, what different types of fencing are now available and how is the suitable fence chosen? Post and rail This type of fencing is a traditional strong visible stock barrier, basically comprised of sawn posts usually at 6ft intervals with 12ft rails nailed horizontally on to the posts. The number of rails is dictated by what stock the fence is holding back. The rails should generally be either a sawn rail (I prefer a heavier rail 31/2” x 11/4” for strength) or 1/2” round rail which could be either a pole cut from an early thinning split into two (this will have a taper) or a machine rounded pole (no taper). Usually machined rails give a more level and smooth line to a fence. This construction of fence is very attractive and therefore is popular along drive sides and for paddocks adjacent to a property; however, the cost is prohibitive for large scale use since it is 3-4 times more expensive than wire. All posts and rails should be purchased as “tanalised” pressure treated as this ensures long life and minimal maintenance. Mild Steel Stock Fencing This is the traditional net type of stock fencing often referred to as pig or sheep netting. The correct technical specification is denoted as C8-80-15 e.g. where C indicates the thickness of the mild steel wire 8 shows the number of horizontal line wires 80 the height of the net in centimetres 15 the distance between the verticals in centimetres This fencing will generally be constructed to have either one or two strands of double strand barbed wire above and one strand of plain wire below. The bottom strand helps to lift the net further out of the vegetation reducing corrosion and also increases the height of the fence. When correctly erected the wire will be tensioned between straining posts which should be placed at not more than 100m intervals or at every change of direction. These straining posts are generally 7-8 ft long with a 5-6 inch diameter. The netting should then be whipped round the strainers. Staples should not be knocked in tight as this damages the galvanising and therefore reduces the life of the fence. Intermediate posts are usually either round or half round and should be placed at 2 –2 ½ metre intervals. This fencing makes a strong stock barrier for most forms of stock at a reasonable cost. Because the netting is made from mild steel the action of snow and frost has the effect of slackening the wire and this is the main reason that mild steel has now been largely replaced by high tensile wire.
2 High Tensile Fencing Initially the concept of high tensile fencing came from Australia and New Zealand from where, incidentally, most of the modern fencing techniques originated. The properties of high tensile wire give it approximately twice the strength of mild steel and is not slackened by cold and snow. Because of the nature of high tensile wire it can be tightened to a greater degree than mild steel. This makes it possible to put intermediate and straining posts further apart, i.e. up to 400 metres for strainers and 8 metres for intermediate posts. The obvious advantage is one of cost because of savings made in posts and erection time. Although the usually accepted spacings are 8 metres, experience shows that this is suitable for use with sheep, but post spacing of 4-6 metres are better for cattle. However, if the barbed wire is replaced with one strand of electrified fencing then once again 8 metre spacings are quite adequate. High tensile wire is also better for use on rough ground when compared with mild steel as it tends not to distort when pulled into hollows or over bumps. One problem, however, with high tensile wire is the difficulty experienced by nonprofessional fencers to erect it as the stiffer nature of the wire requires special techniques to enable the correct tension to be applied to the wire otherwise any advantages in its use are immediately lost. Electric Fencing When electric fencing is mentioned most people immediately think of a single strand of temporary wire run from a battery energiser for strip grazing. This system is now mainly used for the temporary closing off of an area, e.g. strip grazing. Electric systems are, however, very effective for permanent use and a very versatile form of fencing. Various systems are available on the market, although the basic principles apply to most of them. The fence generally comprises strands of galvanised high tensile plain wire attached to posts by plastic insulators. Post spacing can be anything up to 10 metres. The number of wires and the post spacing will depend on the application of the fence. Basically, however, the least number of wires and the simpler the system is, the more reliable it will be, four or five strands should be used for sheep but the bottom wire is not electrified and five strands are only needed if the fence is going to take pressure from stock. One of the main advantages of this type of fencing is its versatility, e.g. temporary systems can easily be run off the permanent system without needing an additional battery energised. A single strand on top of a new net fence replacing one row of barbed wire will result in the increased life of the fence as the animals will stay clear of the fence and not rub up against it. Where possible, permanent electric fences are generally better run from a mains energiser. The greater power helps to keep down vegetation from the fence and also does away with the need for changing batteries. Wind and solar generators are available for use in remote areas. Remember, when planning a fence the cheapest is not always the most economic in the long term. It can be much more efficient to employ a contractor or an experienced neighbour. The right type of correctly erected fence should give many years of trouble free service and help maintain good relations with your neighbours, not to mention preventing potentially horrendous costs which could be incurred if cattle stray into crops, or to a non-breed bull or on to a public highway. See Item 12 on Insurance.
3. Grassland Management Basic Principles Cattle should never be overstocked as over-stocking causes poaching (damage caused by cows’ feet) which destroys soil structure and grass roots, particularly in wet weather, resulting in reduced yields. Whilst stock levels vary according to the quality of the land suggested stocking rates (when using reasonable grassland) are 1 cow per acre – grazing only. To provide winter hay / silage, allow an extra 1-1 1/2 acres per cow. This level will decrease if, for example, the cattle are mixed with sheep or horses. If wintering outside, the cattle should be fed on a welldrained area if possible. In very wet conditions it is best to sacrifice a small area, and not the whole field. Production of Grass In spring, the grassland should be chain-harrowed in order to spread droppings and mole hills. This removes old grass and moss from pasture thus ensuring maximum new growth. In badly poached and damaged areas, apply quick growing grass seeds e.g. perennial rye grass or a special “patching” mixture. Fertiliser application is very dependent on land fertility and weather conditions, but as a guide application is as follows: For grazing land – 2 cwts of 20.10.10 fertiliser per acre, containing i.e. 20 units of Nitrogen, 10 units of Phosphate, 10 units of Potash and to be applied during spring and late summer. For hay – 3 cwts of 20.10.10 fertilizer per acre. For silage – 4-5 cwts of 20.10.10 fertiliser per acre. If your objective is to produce ORGANIC BEEF use natural fertiliser such as calcified seaweed, farmyard manure, etc. Note: Heavy use of nitrogen locks up minerals in soil and can cause grass staggers etc in your animals, and therefore great care should be taken. Soil analysis can be obtained commercially and is well worth the modest investment. MAFF provide this service for testing various deficiencies and also provide advice on any actions which should be taken. Conservation of grass is important for winter feeding. For a small fold, small bales of hay are easier to handle. If a tractor or loader are available in winter, big bale silage and hay can be used but are difficult to ration effectively. Weed control A good stocking rate keeps weeds down and prevents weeds from seeding however, small isolated patches should be cut by a scythe/strimmed before seed heads appear, For, heavy infestation, cut with a mower or pasture topper or possible spray with an appropriate herbicide. If it is necessary to spray weeds, get professional advice in order not to contravene Health & Safety Regulations which are very strict. Also read instructions carefully prior to using a proprietary weed killer. The field must be left before the cattle can start grazing. The exact period will be specified on the instructions. Remember: any chemical sprays and artificial fertilisers defeat the objective of rearing organic beef. If grass grows more quickly than can be eaten by cattle, and starts to seed, it is best to cut the pasture with a mower to encourage new growth. It is argued that topping pasture at the right time can increase productivity of grass by up to 30%. As a guide the optimum sward height should be between 3-4 cms. Grassland management is a compromise – what is good for animals is not always good for grassland and vice versa.

4. Feeding Hay The grass is ready for cutting when seed heads have flowered usually late June or July, when weather is favourable. Wilt grass (allow to dry out) and move regularly if weather allows to obtain even drying. It should be baled only when bone dry otherwise the hay will go mouldy and be unusable. It should be moved to a barn as soon as possible. If unsure or unable to carry out your own hay making it is often better to purchase good hay than risk making poor hay. It is argued that buying in from another site can make up for mineral deficiencies found in one’s own grass but check if you have any deficiencies first. The equipment is expensive and therefore it is always better to come to an arrangement with a neighbour or employ a contractor, Hay must be allowed to sweat in the stack for a few weeks before feeding, especially if baled green. Feeding may begin later in summer if grass is scarce, but in general feeding may begin when available grass has been eaten which will vary on the year’s weather. A suitable quantity might vary between 5lbs and 15bs of hay per day per animal, but depends upon the cow’s needs and the quality of hay. A dry cow (not suckling) needs less hay than a freshly calved cow or a suckling cow. A bullock (steer) requires about the same as a dry cow. If animals are being turned onto lush grass, it is advisable to offer hay or good barley straw as well as grass whilst cattle acclimatise to new grass to help avoid bloat. It is advisable to offer minerals (particularly magnesium) well before and during turnout, especially if indoor cattle have not been fed supplementary concentrate, which usually contains minerals. High magnesium minerals, which may be administered by the provision of a lick or by orally dosed product available from your veterinarian, will help prevent staggers. The symptoms of stagger (hypomagnesaemia) will be found in a veterinary dictionary. Silage In small herd situations it may be more practical to make silage in big round bales or bags. These can be stacked outside all winter. Silage in bales is easy to feed but difficult to ration therefore an ad-lib system particularly with out wintered cattle, is the only option. If feeding good quality silage, the feeding of additional concentrate is often unnecessary, however, consult a nutritionist/veterinarian for expert advice. Silage making is less dependent on good weather and a lot less labour is needed to gather the crop. It is possible to make silage out of a failed hay crop, i.e. bale damp, semi-made hay and wrap it. The major disadvantage of big bale silage is: it cannot be rationed like hay and a tractor and loader are needed to handle it. An advantage is it can be stacked in a remote are of the farm to facilitate feeding in winter. Opened bales need to be used up within 4-5 days to retain their quality. Feedstuffs Feeding cake (proprietary bagged feedstuffs) to in-calf cows must be done carefully so that cows do not get too fat for calving. Neither must cows be allowed to become too thin so as to deprive the growing calf. Over-fat cows are liable to have calving difficulties. Overweight cows will be covered elsewhere as it is a condition to be avoided at all costs. It can be the cause of many other important problems of healthcare, including loss of fertility.
In the case of Highlands, cows are liable to be dry at the latter end of the year if calving in early spring. If being fed silage or good hay, supplementary feeding with cake must be done with caution to avoid problems. If you are giving straw, supplementary feeding may be necessary, provision of minerals may also be advisable. Advice should be taken from the feed supplier where cake is bought and, of course, your veterinarian should always be asked to give advice if you have any doubts. Straw This can be purchased in small bales, large round bales, or in larger, heavy rectangular bales. Clean, unweathered barley straw is most palatable for feeding. If fed outside, supplementary cake is probably necessary, especially if feeding in-calf cows (with straw). Straw does become unpalatable if it is allowed to get wet. Clean, unweathered oat straw can be fed to stock and it is usually cheaper than barley straw. Clean, dry pea straw is also good feed once stock get used to it. It contains peas which are protein. Musty, mouldy straw or hay should most definitely not be fed as moulds can cause health problems including loss of fertility. It is probably cheaper to buy straw off the field at harvest. Barley straw is better material to feed cattle with; it is softer than wheat but more expensive.
5. Healthcare Observation of behaviour is essential. An animal will demonstrate by its demeanour, appearance or reluctance to eat that something is wrong. Expert advice should be sought urgently from your veterinarian as an animal can decline very rapidly if not treated. In the main, Highland Cattle are very resistant to health problems and require minimal healthcare. The most important regular job is the application of a worming product (anthelmintic) such as ivermectin. This keeps control of the majority of internal and external parasites such as tapeworm, lungworm or skin mites/lice. The latter are common in Highland Cattle and may be recognised by the fact that the animal is constantly scratching, has wet patches on its hair and small oval white eggs are seen in the hair when combing. Your vet will advise you on frequency of giving an anthelmintic and when you should change brand to prevent tolerance to one product. The compound can be administered by oral bolus, injection or as a pour on. All are equally effective. The bolus and injection can give a quicker peak of response if being used for treatment rather than prevention, the pour-on has a longer period of efficiency, but products are constantly being improved and veterinary advice should always be sought. Some further examples of healthcare matters are set out below. A good book on bovine healthcare or a veterinary dictionary will give further details. IF IN DOUBT CALL YOUR VET. Hypomgnesaemia (staggers) is due to inadequate magnesium in the bloodstream and can be a killer. Lactating cows or cows whose calves have just been weaned are at greatest risk. This occurs most frequently when cows are turned out onto lush Spring grass. Prevention is a better approach by feeding a magnesium rich supplement during, or before, high risks situations arises. Emergency treatment with intravenous administration of magnesium salts is the only cure for affected cows. Some do not survive.
4 Hypocalcaemia (Milk Fever) This occurs in cows during, or more commonly after, calving and is caused by a fall in calcium and possibly phosphorous in the blood. Prevention is not possible. Cure is intravenous or subcutaneous (under skin) injection of calcium and phosphorous. Incidence of milk fever can increase in outdoor calvers in, wet weather. Consult your veterinarian on all these points. Infertility Poor feeding and body conditions: cows must be in good condition at mating. They also need an adequate supply of minerals, high in phosphorous especially before and during mating. Copper has an effect on fertility and deficiency can be detected by a blood diagnostic test. Infection of the ovaries can cause irregular or absent heat periods. Again it should be noted that the major cause of infertility is overweight. Minerals Cattle must receive minerals in some form or another – from grass, cake or specific licks or powders. Minerals are available to buy in different formulations for different problems. They can be mixed with rolled cereals or bought in solid licks or in free access powder form. Before and during mating cows must have an adequate supply of minerals, particularly those high in phosphorous. Copper also has an effect on fertility. Deficiencies should be rectified on the basis of advice from your veterinarian. Administration should always be in accordance with the instructions on the mineral bag or bucket. There are various proprietary products available which claim to supply minerals, by their distribution on pasture, to grazing cattle. Basic slag, a bi-product of steel-making, is a good supplier of trace elements and minerals if spread on grassland. Again never hesitate to seek professional advice. Water Ideally water supplied from borehole or mains and distributed into troughs should be available as opposed to stream or river water. It is a condition of membership of many cattle Health Schemes that clean water is available, i.e. not shared via a water course. It is worth mentioning that it is against the law to pollute water courses with farm animal waste and silage effluent, a substance highly toxic to river life, which comes from the fermenting grass. Take care not to site silage or stack bales near water courses. Water troughs should be supplied one per field or paddock, also in yards and calving boxes where self filling water bowls may be a better option. In hot, dry weather adult cattle will consume at least 12 gallons of water daily. Troughs must be large enough to supply the number of cattle per field during warm weather and should be frequently checked. These are examples. As a first step you should consult with your veterinarian and establish a fold healthcare programme.
6. Stockmanship The following are points with reference to stockmanship specific to Highland Cattle. A book such as the Herdsman’s Book by Stansfield is recommended. The Society also has a panel of regional fieldsmen who are experts and always ready and willing to help and give advice.
Observation A good stockman should look at his stock every day. Know your animals; look for abnormal behaviour, especially in the weeks before calving. An experienced stockman will know something is wrong and what to do. If you are not experienced, get professional advice. Handling It is it essential that you can halter your females and bulls, then you have good control for vetting etc. The veterinarian does not want to chase an animal round a field! It is essential to have a crush or handling race incorporating a neck yolk. For Ministry blood tests, injections, drenching etc, the cattle must be held in a crush. These are now made specially for Highlands. If you can construct a race in an enclosed yard or building, it will prove invaluable. It is advisable to get advice from other breeders before planning the layout of handling facilities, although each breeder will plan a system of management which suits their own particular circumstances. An HCS fieldsmen will always assist on request. Halter training Claves should be haltered as early as possible. After the first few weeks when the mother is less aggressively protective, give her some food in a confined space and halter her up either in a yard or building. Gently coax the calf to accept the halter and tie it up near enough the mother for her to be happy; do not get near enough to the cow for her to injure you. Do this over a period of a few days; the calf will jump and fall down, but walk it and eventually it will quieten down. After much perseverance the calf will accept the halter.
7. Breeding and Calving Pedigree Bloodlines Pedigree Highland heifers will normally be served as 3 year olds, so that they will calve as rising four year olds. Leaving them until they are three enables them to grow as much as possible before their energy is diverted into the growth of a calf. However, some breeders will, if the heifer is already well grown, allow her to be served at the age of two. Once you have decided to breed from your cow or heifer, you need to make some important decisions about the choice of bull, and whether you are going to use him ‘in person’ or by Artificial Insemination (AI) (see later chapter on Bulls) If you have bought your cow or heifer at a recognised Highland Cattle Society sale, you will be in possession of at least a ‘short pedigree’ as detailed in the sale catalogue. This will list her parents, and both sets of grandparents. As a rule, it is best not to choose a bull who is closely related to your animal - i.e. who appears on her short pedigree. You should also try to choose a bull from a ‘good’, i.e. well-established, fold. However, you will need to guard against buying a bull that is too well established – if he or his father has been widely used in the past, you may later have difficulty in buying females who are not closely related to him! This is where advice and guidance from your fieldsman, or another Club member, can prove invaluable.
5 Recognition of cow in season Q: How can I tell when my cow is ready for mating? A: One of the most obvious signs of a cow being in season (or “bulling”) will be that her vulva is moist and sticky, and there may be a slight ‘show’ of blood. Unfortunately, as her season may only last about 12-18 hours, this state is easily missed. Another sign to look for is that females may ‘ride’ each other – however, it is not always clear which of the animals (the one riding, or the one being ridden) is the one in season! The definition given at the International Conference was “the cow being mounted from behind is in season, if mounting from the front the one mounting is in season”. If you have a bull (or even a steer) in the same field, then he will give you the most helpful indication, by being very interested in her, and attempting to mount. She will only stand still for him if she is ready to mate. Q: Should I just let nature take its course? A: Generally, yes, but there are some issues around the timing of the birth that need to be considered: The average gestation period for a Highland cow is 280 days (or around 9 months, the same as humans). However, each cow is an individual and may vary by five days either side of this. In particular, a heifer having her first calf may ‘go over’ by as much as a week or possibly a few days more. If too long or the animal is showing signs of distress or ill health call the veterinarian immediately. From 1996, the official ‘birthday’ of each animal is 1st January (prior to 1996, it was 1st December). This is the period over which the society herd book runs, and means that all animals born in the same year will be regarded as being the same age (i.e. a yearling, 2 year old, etc.). It follows that those born later in the year will be disadvantaged at shows and sales by the fact they are younger, and therefore smaller. It is therefore beneficial to arrange your calving date as close to 1st January as the climatic conditions will allow, i.e. later in the north than the south. Another consideration is the number of females you have, and your own personal circumstances. You need to decide whether it is more convenient for you to arrange for your calving dates to be close together, or spread throughout the year. It is advisable to have a tight calving pattern. Caring for the pregnant cow The main points in managing your cow’s pregnancy are: • Record the calving date Note the service date when the cow became pregnant as, from that you can calculate and record the likely calving date, allowing a possible variation of five days earlier/later. • Control the cow’s feeding - See 4 above • Maintain the cow’s health Monitor cow health closely, ideally following a Fold Health Programme (see 5 above). If in any doubt whatsoever, consult your veterinary surgeon. • If a cow aborts The definition of abortion, under the Brucellosis, England and Wales order 1981, is any calf (whether dead or alive) born less than 271 days after service or insemination If -
your cow aborts, you must: Report the abortion to your vet Isolate the cow from all other animals Retain the afterbirth and foetus for inspection by the vet
Woman of child bearing age in general and very specifically a pregnant woman should not deal with aborted material or cows that are aborting. Preparing for calving Q: inside or out? A: Most Highlanders will happily calve out in the open, with no ill effect to either the mother or calf. However, if there are problems, you will have great difficulty in dealing with these in the middle of a wind-swept field, especially at 3am! The sensible thing answer is to bring the cow near to the house, preferably in a covered pen, and close to a supply of electricity and water. If cows have to be calved a long way from the house, then it is well worth constructing a catching pen in the field. NB Highlands are very protective mothers, and even those who are normally placid can become dangerous during and after giving birth. Q: What other preparations do I need to make? A: Ideally, you should have experience in assisting a calving before you attempt to ‘go solo’. You will then be able to see at first hand what is involved. Q: What equipment will I need? A: The basic equipment you will need to have to hand includes: -
Supply of clean, warm water and soap Antiseptic (preferably containing iodine) Disposable plastic gloves Lubricant for gloves (preferably obstetric jelly; soap if its clean) Calving ropes Supply of colostrum substitute, such as volostrum, with suitable measuring and mixing equipment - Feeding bottle and teat (both clean) - Stomach tube Calving During the week immediately before the calving date, watch for behavioural and physical signs that the cow is entering the early stages of labour: Behavioural signs - Loss of appetite - Cow separates herself from the rest of the fold - Cow is restless, frequently lying down and getting up again. Sometimes she lies stretched out on one side for short periods - Tail swishing from side to side. Later she holds her tail high and arches her back. Physical signs - The uterus drops lower into the abdomen as the calf is lined up for entry into the cervix - Enlargement and filling of the udder (known as “bagging up”). The udder may also become hard and congested. - The tail head rises due to slacking of the pelvic ligaments. This is noticeable only when cow is standing. When the ligaments relax completely (“dropping”), calving will normally take place within 24 hours. - The lips of the vulva redden and swell to double their size. There is discharge mucus possibly tinged with blood. - The embryonic sac appears at the vulva as the ‘first water bag’, if not already broken.
6 If the cow has shown some or all the above signs, you will need to keep a careful watch on her. If she is in a field away from the house this will be difficult (but not impossible if you make frequent visit and use binoculars), but this is where bringing her close to the house will have paid off, as it makes life far simpler. If nothing has happened after about 2 hours, the chances are that something is wrong, and she will need to be examined. If you have no experience of carrying out an internal examination, then enlist the help of someone who has, or call the veterinarian. A normally-presented calf is born with both front feet appearing first, closely followed by the head – sometimes referred to as the ‘diving position’. Any variation from this is an abnormal presentation, and will require adjustment before the calf can be safely delivered. Do not try to manipulate an abnormal presentation unless you have been trained. If the front feet have appeared and the cow has been pushed hard for about an hour, but is making no progress – and you are in no doubt as to the correct action to take, call the veterinarian. If the back legs of the calf appear first and its hooves point with the soles uppermost, urgent action is needed – if you are in doubt of the correct action to take, call the veterinarian. Expertise in calving can only be acquired through experience built up over a period of time, and complicated calvings are best dealt with by a veterinarian until sufficient experience has been gained. Once the calf has been born, the cow should start to lick it. This action will stimulate and dry the calf. You will probably be surprised at how quickly the calf will struggle to its feet, and stagger about in search of its mother’s teat (anything between 20 minutes to an hour). It may however need some assistance in identifying the precise location, and you may need to gently guide it towards the udder, and even place the teat in its mouth. This could take some time! Even the tamest of animal can be very dangerous at calving and a few days thereafter. Extreme care should be taking when approaching. The milk the cow will initially provides is colostrum, which contains antibodies that will provide the calf with resistance against infection. You must insure that the calf has had its first supply of colostrum. If the calf is unable or unwilling to suckle, or if the cow will not stand still, then a suitable colostrum substitute, such as Volostrum, should be mixed and administered in accordance with the instruction on the pack. A rough guide is that after this initial feed, the calf should suckle every two to three hours. The calf which doesn’t suck It is an unfortunate fact that Highland breeders lose calves every year because, for one reason or another, they fail to suck. If human intervention is necessary a race, crush or other physical means of separation should be available to protect the handlers or the veterinarian. A calf which hasn’t sucked and is otherwise well will usually be unsettled and will make more noise than a contented calf. These calves often follow their mothers around and do not settle in the same way as a contented calf. The mother is also unhappy about the situation as she doesn’t experience the release of hormones associated with a calf having sucked. The uterus may also fail to contract sufficiently to dispel the after-birth and it can often be a sign of a calf ’s failure to suck when a cow hasn’t correctly cleansed. As she instinctively knows things are not right the mother may often be agitated and if a cow which is usually quiet after calving becomes more aggressive than usual then the failure of the calf to such must be considered.
What, then are some possible causes? Excessive hair around the udder, resulting in the calf sucking on hair rather that on the teat. The calf will be in the correct position and will appear to be sucking but will not be contented. Older cows can have conically shaped teats which are difficult for the calf to get into its mouth. Another reason is poor positioning. The calf doesn’t know where to go and searches anxiously around its mother but doesn’t quite find a teat. The calf may then smell the mother’s cleansing and suck on this trail, hanging from the cow’s rear, rather than continue to search for a teat. In this case the calf tends to lick rather than suck and this can result in it losing its initial sucking instinct, making it more difficult to feed it colostrum milked from its mother. Colostrum is the milk secreted immediately after calving. It contains all the antibodies required by the calf to protect it against viruses and bacteria. It also acts as a purgative, clearing accumulated faecal matter from the intestine. This black putty like substance is an early sign of having sucked. Colostrum if taken from the dam should be given immediately. If left to go cold or stored frozen it should be gently warmed by placing the bottle in warm water. N.B it should not be boiled or microwaved. It must be administered within 6 hours of birth as after the calf ’s ability to absorb decreases. If this is the case a teat with a very large hole attached to a bottle, and a lot of patience, is necessary, or tubing into the calf ’s stomach as colostrum must be put into the calf as soon as possible. A calf which has not sucked will look gutted and slightly hunched; the breeder will very soon know there is a problem and get veterinary assistance as a matter of urgency. What to do It is necessary to have some safe and secure place to milk the cow to produce the colostrum for the calf. Excess hair should be trimmed away from the teats and with patience and determination it may be possible to milk the cow into the calf ’s mouth placing the teat in its mouth thereby showing it what it gets and from where. It is often necessary to do this two or three times a day for several days until eventually the calf gets the hang of things. It is better to milk the cow first, thus reducing the size of her teats, as this may not be as easy later when you have been upsetting her by handling her calf. If, as will probably be the case, the calf doesn’t suck straight away then you have colostrum which you can feed to the calf in small and frequent feeds, but within the six hour time period. It is not always easy, and great care must be taken that the cow is completely secure before handling the calf. In cases of great difficulty where it is too difficult to milk the cow then fresh or frozen colostrum from another cow or proprietary colostrum substitute can be used and administered in accordance with the instructions. The calf can then be put on milk powder substitute feed if it is to be bottle or bucket fed. Post calving The cow will normally expel the afterbirth within an hour or two of calving, and some cows will then eat it. If you have seen no evidence of the afterbirth in the calving area after a day or so, and particularly if the cow seems unwell, call the veterinarian. It is worth reiterating here that care must be taken with a freshly-calved cow, her protectiveness towards her calf may result in her being unusually aggressive, and an aggressive Highland is dangerous.
7 Naming your calf The key points about naming calves can be summarised as follows:
8. Bull or Artificial Insemination?
• Although every breeder is entitled to name in any way he wishes, the Society is keen to encourage the continuing use of Gaelic names for Highland cattle. A list of suitable names is available from the Society or through your regional club.
Hire of a bull, purchase of a bull or artificial insemination Breeders should decide for themselves which is most suitable for their situation after maybe considering the following advantages and disadvantages. First to consider is natural service. One of the main advantages is that a bull is a far better heat detector than you or I. He has a nose for the job. Another option is hire or loan of a bull. This is less costly than purchasing and the bull can be returned when you are satisfied the job has been done. Limited keep and the management are needed. One disadvantaged to this method is limited availability of quality bulls to meet your requirements; another is the danger of a busy hire bull spreading disease from one fold to another if not carefully monitored and all health status criteria adhered to in the correct manner. Next to consider is the purchase of a bull. This requires careful selection as a bull is going to contribute 50% to all your calves. As with a hire bull you need to check his pedigree to see that he is not closely related to any of your females, and you feel his type will improve your breeding. After making this decision you are then responsible for the management of this animal. Over the period of hire no licence for a bull is required.
• It is important to be able to follow the female line, so it is useful to follow a naming system which will assist this. Briefly, a heifer calf will take on its own mother’s name, together with the Fold name. if the mother was bred in the same Fold, the daughter’s name is supplemented by a number. For example : You attend an HCS sale and purchase Anabladh of Alpha, to add to your Delta fold. She produces a heifer calf, which you would name Anabladh of Delta. If Anabladh of Alpha produces a heifer calf the following year, you would name her Anabladh 2nd of Delta and so on. • Highland cattle are classified under the following colours: Red, Yellow, White, Black, Brindle and Dun. You may find it best to leave it until the last minute before registration to decide on the colour of you calf, as they are known to change colour as their coat matures, especially black calves who are frequently born with a red coat! Weaning your calf A calf can be weaned from its mother at anything between 5 and 10 months of age. Ideally, the calf should be able ‘rest’ for 3 months or so after calving before she is again served by the bull, so you will probably want to separate the calf from its mother at around 7-8 months to give her 4-5 months rest before calving. The simplest method is to bring in both the cow and calf, and then move the cow out again. You will then need to move the calf to a location out of sight (and preferably out of earshot) of mother. It is obviously better to wean two or more calves at the same time, so they have each others’ company whilst getting used to life on their own. NB They do not all have to be exactly the same age – maybe an average of 7-8 months. On the day before weaning, the calf will be receiving between 40% milk and 60% concentrate. The concentrate should be increased for the last week before weaning and by 50% on the day of weaning. This should be reduced slowly after a few weeks. Calves which have been creep fed do not check or stress as much as those that suckle only. Both the cow and calf may shout for some time after separation, but this should die down after a few days. Selling calves Calves can be sold as soon as they are weaned – i.e. approximately a week after separation. You can dispose of them in one of several ways: • At a Highland Cattle Society-recognised Sale. NB The animals will need to be halter-trained and used to grooming. • Privately - by putting an advertisement in a newspaper such as the Farmers Guardian, Farmers Weekly or Scottish Farmer, or your local newspaper. • By putting an advertisement in the Highland Cattle Society Newsletter/on the website, or in your regional club newsletter/on their website When the calf has been sold, you will need to pay the current transfer fee plus VAT in the UK to have the ownership details amended on the Highland Cattle Society records.
Care of Bull For several reasons it may not always be practical to run your bull full time with your females, e.g. timing of calving, young stock not of calving age etc., so separation is necessary. A high pen with vertical bars to prevent climbing is preferred. It should be roomy, well ventilated and provide some shelter, situated where your bull can see some farmyard activity. Grooming and attention will help prevent him from becoming bored. Your bull is likely to become aggressive if confined to a small dark hole with little or no attention. Fences should be of sound construction should your bull get the urge to wander. A strong and permanent specifically designed fence is the best deterrent. If you select a young bull, say 15-18 months old, he should be broken into work gradually, say 6-7 females in his first season, maybe 20 females at two years old. A mature bull should cope with approximately 30-35 cows. A young bull will spend much of his time hunting females for heat and deprive himself of time to feed, with obvious results. A young bull should be penned away from the cows for a few hours each day to allow him some extra feeding time. For the purpose of handling, ringing your bull is a must, although some breeders fear the ring may snag when the bull is left out on a rough territory. Always remember a bull can be a dangerous animal. Never trust him. AI (Artificial Insemination) AI is very practical if a breeder has good handling facilities, and is able to detect heat periods. The advantage of AI is that there is no need to keep a bull. All AI bulls chosen by the Cattle Society are of the highest health status. AI requires accurate observation and experience to judge the optimum time for service. There are, however, hormonal products available based on prostaglandins (sometimes called prids). These are used for calculating the precise date and time of serving using AI. Your veterinary surgeon will give you a full explanation as to their use. This method does take a little time to organise. Your local AI centre should be contacted to arrange storage of the semen. A small monthly charge is made for this. Straws of semen are then ordered from Scottish Livestock Services (SMMB) in Paisley, who arrange delivery to your local centre. The straws are then stored in a flask, and will be used only for your animals. A service charge is made each time an animal is inseminated.

10. Showing Cattle Showing is a pleasant occupation, although very hard work. It allows you to see the results your breeding programme is producing compared to the breed standards. Judges differ in how they score certain characteristics, but experience and discussion will teach you the points which are being examined. Your cattle are not only an advert for your fold but for the breed in general. Apart from the satisfaction of breeding good cattle, prizes all add to the value of a cow and its progeny and are thus very important. Some people show for personal satisfaction. The majority, especially the commercial breeders, do and have to take it very seriously because of the added value it gives their business. They will therefore spend some time in preparation and have “tricks of the trade” to ensure the best result. Shows should be visited before you start showing your own beasts, to observe these procedures and talk to experienced breeder and showmen. The main tasks are briefly described as follows: The Show Ring The most important factor in preparing cattle for the show ring is that the job must always be done to a high standard. It is a poor advertisement if a beast is only half washed or badly groomed. Selection of Stock The animals one intends to enter for a show may have to be selected many months in advance, so as to enable feeding and management to produce the right condition. Halter training should be started as young as possible, preferably as calves. Feeding This is important - to produce a well fleshed animal with a good bloom on its coat, is the main objective. As well as concentrates or cobs, sugar beet pulp or bran will help to keep the digestion in good order. Oil rich foods and molasses will give the coat bloom. Good quality hay is good forage and easily handled at shows. Housing Most animals are brought indoors or penned. They need a cool location with plenty of ventilation and clean bedding. Adequate exercise will be necessary to keep the animals moving smoothly and to stimulate circulation. Washing This not only removes dirt and dead hair but improves coat condition. An approved shampoo should be used, taking care not to allow detergent into eyes or ears. Rinse thoroughly. If using a powder wash, great care should be taken not to use too high pressure Feet The feet should be well trimmed as this will allow the animal to walk and stand correctly. Just before entry into the show ring ensure the hooves are clean and lightly oiled. Grooming A perth comb should be lightly applied to the coat to remove any knots and dead hair, after which, a light brushing and a spray with an animal coat dressing will give the required result.
Horns These should be lightly sanded, then oiled. Care should be taken with young stock. Parading Aim to have your animal quiet but showing itself. Try to catch the judge’s eye, but not too much. Practice getting the animal to stand correctly. If an animal is unused to a halter and is being lead with reluctance or showing sign of bad temper, it will not only put off the judge but also prospective purchasers. Lastly be of smart appearance yourself. The Highland Cattle Society supports exhibitors at shows by presenting prizes, rosettes and financial incentives at some of the larger shows. They also run the show Fold of the Year competition for large and small folds.. The Regional Highland Cattle Breeders Clubs also provide their own prizes and rosettes at the more local shows as well as running their own Fold of the Year competitions. They also hold meetings throughout the year, which are very educational and informative as well as being pleasant social occasions.
12. Insurance and Support Organisations Is insurance necessary? Yes, it is vital, even if you only have only animal and must include public liability. Owning livestock brings with it a lot of pleasure but also responsibilities – and the potential for some very large bills if thing go wrong. When arranging insurance, the most important cover is not for the animals themselves but liability insurance to cover the risk if the owner is held liable for injuries to people, or damage to property. Straying livestock have been known to cause serious road accidents, which have led to compensation claims of hundreds of thousands of pounds; while a few head of cattle trampling a prized garden can easily bring in a bill of several thousand pounds. A Livestock Policy pays out if an animal is stolen, dies or has to be slaughtered for humane reasons due to disease or accident. Death or slaughter for humane reasons caused while an animal is in transit, or as a result of worrying should also be covered but check the terms and conditions of your own policy. The country’s leading insurer is NFU Mutual and Avon, and further information can be obtained from your local NFU Group Secretary (see telephone directory). Your own insurance broker may be able to arrange cover.

Affairs in Order? It has been more than a year since Scottish law firm Ledingham Chalmers LLP expanded its offering with the opening of a new office at the United Auction’s Stirling Agricultural Centre, situated next door to the Highland Cattle Society. As a firm, we are committed to the rural business of Scotland and are passionate about the success of the sector, hence the strategic move to Stirling which has allowed us to play an important role in our work in the agricultural industry. We believe that attracting and retaining young talent is one of the biggest challenges currently facing Scotland’s rural economy. It has been excellent to witness the enthusiasm among the young people in the Highland Cattle Society, and the support it provides to encourage them to develop a future career within the sector. With this in mind, the rural business team at Ledingham Chalmers embarked on a series of seminars during the winter months of 2012 which focussed on the issue of succession planning in the family farming business. The events included a short play set at the kitchen table of a family farm at Dallas, highlighting a number of issues that may arise when planning for succession including tax liability on transfer of partnership, inheritance tax issues and tax planning for retirement. Incorporating a question and answer session, the seminars gave farming businesses across Scotland an opportunity to hear valuable advice, helping to better plan for future succession – an example of a farmer’s son’s engagement announcement was used which is a situation where legal advice is extremely worthwhile. The events were held in partnership with an accountancy and business advisory firm, and estate agent and property consultant, both situated at the Stirling Agricultural Centre, highlighting the need for all professions to work together to best support the requirements of rural businesses. The format of a play was well received as was the question and answer session as it gave delegates an opportunity to receive direct advice and guidance. The main theme which emerged from all of the events was the need for an open and frank discussion regarding plans surrounding succession. It was clear that engaging with the younger generation and allowing full involvement in the business encouraged them to follow in the footsteps of their parents and build a rural career. Using the example of an engagement within the family as mentioned above, the seminars looked at the existing business structure and whether to bring in the son of the family farm as a partner in the business only, or to give him a share in the farm itself too. Many of the pros and cons were discussed such as whether a prenuptial agreement should be put in place prior to his marriage to try to avoid the farm assets becoming matrimonial property in the future.
In the scenario outlined in the play, the business was being run in a partnership which is the most common vehicle for most family farming businesses. At several of the seminars there was discussion on whether this was the best vehicle for the business or if the farm should be held in a limited company. For the purpose of the play, the limited company was being established for the wind turbine side of the business, with its shares easily passed on to the farmer’s daughter as her share of the inheritance. This example was used to highlight that no matter what business model is decided upon, is it vital to look at the business as a whole to decide on the best way forward, ensuring that the appropriate legal documentation is put in place as a means of protection. For example, it is clear that it is easier to draft a Partnership Agreement at the start of the arrangement as opposed to untangling a situation where no Partnership Agreement exists and the courts are required to decide the dissolution of the partnership. Similarly, if a limited company is used then it is very important to look at all of the costs involved with the administration of the company, set up documentation and any taxation implications of the incorporation. Hand in hand with any family business planning is the need to look at the preparation of an up-to-date and comprehensive will which not only reflects the business situation but also takes into account of any other family members not involved in the business. A will should be reviewed regularly as changing circumstances often mean that alterations may be required. The costs and complications to anyone, especially a business person, of dying intestate without a will are significant. It is often of particular importance to a tenant farmer who may have a tenancy which can be passed on by bequest through his will. If this wish is not expressed and acted upon, the tenancy may be lost. This can have huge repercussions and can lead to the end of the tenancy and farming operation. Powers of Attorney were also the subject of the discussions, highlighting that all individuals are recommended to grant one but only implement it if there is a need in the future. The costs of so doing are significantly lower than the courts appointing an Attorney at a later date. All of these topics were covered in the events but experience shows that often the reality is more complicated. We pride ourselves at Ledingham Chalmers on being approachable and realistic in dealing with family business situations and would encourage any of the members of the Highland Cattle Society to take up the offer of a free, no obligation chat. It is our aim at Ledingham Chalmers to help to keep Scotland’s young people in the rural economy and to grow the sector across Scotland. Linda Tinson, rural business director at Ledingham Chalmers LLP, Stirling.

Government Incentive means Attractive Returns on Renewable Heating
One of the best kept secrets of recent years is the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which was launched by the government in late 2011. The RHI is ideal for landowners looking to heat two or more properties from the one renewable energy heat source in what is referred to as a ‘district heating system’. For example, heating a number of holiday cottages from a single biomass boiler with connecting underground pipework transferring the heat from the plant room to each individual property. The RHI rewards non-domestic property owners with a quarterly payment over 20 years based on the amount of renewable heat generated on site. Qualifying technologies include wood, woodchip and pellet boilers, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal panels. On top of the RHI payments, landowners are maximising their return on investment by utilising their own logs or woodchip and reducing running costs by replacing expensive to run oil and LPG boilers. DECC has set the tariffs at a level designed to compensate for the additional cost of the renewable technology over conventional fossil fuel heating. This equates to tariffs that are designed to offer a required return on additional capital invested of 12 per cent. The reality in most cases
looks even better than this. One Care Home client of national renewable energy installer, Ecoliving, is looking at a 3 year pay-back compared to oil. Climate Change Minister, Greg Barker, is on record as saying recently that he is ‘110 percent committed’ to driving the adoption of renewable heat through the RHI. Rory Kerr, farmer and Sales Manager at Ecoliving comments, ‘we produce both energy and return on investment calculations as well as offering a range of technologies, including solar PV, and a full design and installation service.’

Southern Muster 2014 - NZ “Kia Ora” and welcome to New Zealand’s planning for the 4th International Highland Cattle Gathering, being held from 6th to 16th Nov 2014. New Zealand is a small, beautifully unique island country, comprised of 2 principal islands, North and South that equal much the size of Great Britain. “Aotearoa” is the Maori name for New Zealand and translates as ‘’Land of the long white cloud”. Our aim is to organise a 10 day conference that immerses our visitors in the spectacular and diverse beauty of “Aotearoa” by offering a range of activities that take guests from the top of the North Island, down the backbone of the country, finishing the conference at the bottom of the South island. You will travel through to a variety of magnificent landscapes, while we provide you with some extraordinary Agricultural and Cultural experiences. New Zealand is often credited with having snapshots of almost every other country in the world somewhere within its borders, and each island has its own particular blend of spectacular scenery.
While travelling, either on coaches or independently, you will have opportunities to observe how New Zealand’s Agriculture has been successfully adapted to the major economic changes of the 80’s, into a free trade economy. Markets for New Zealand agricultural products have diversified, from being primarily wool based to a range of dairy products, meat, fish, fruit, forestry and wines. New Zealand has been the home of many innovations which have had world-wide recognition, from the shipping of frozen meat in the 1880’s to the splitting the atom, Hamilton jet boats, the Bowen shearing method, the development and refinement of electric fencing for stock control, and many, many more.
Much of New Zealand’s culture is derived from Maori and Early British settlers, so while you travel we will expose you to and involve you in, distinctive traditions, customs and culture. The Rotorua part of the Gathering, set among boiling mud pools and geysers, will have a particularly indigenous flavour, which contrasts the highly productive dairy, beef and wool industries which surround Rotorua City, not to mention the fishing!
Throughout your travels, our friendly New Zealand Highland cattle society members will host you regionally and personally welcome you to their folds, where you will get a chance to see just how New Zealanders grow grass fed stock so well. You will also see first hand just how practical, versatile and inventive New Zealand farmers are. But don’t come empty handed – bring your photos and your own expertise to share.
NEW ZEALAND Southern Muster - November 2014 4th International Highland Gathering

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Bundesrasseschau - Germany I was delighted to be asked by Falko Steinberg to judge the Bundesrasseschau in October 2012. It is always an honour to be asked to judge at any show but particularly at a National Show. Janette and I flew to Frankfurt Airport and were met by Elvira Forschner who was our tour guide and driver for the next four days. Elvira showed us some of the sights on the road from Frankfurt to Alsfeld. We stayed at her brother’s hotel and restaurant on the first night. Karl-Friedrick (Charly ) proudly showed us his cattle and we ate at his family restaurant (Highland Beef of course!) that evening. We were very well looked after. Elvira had us in castles, churches, farmers markets and cafes on the way to the show. She was an excellent guide - especially in the coffee shop when we wanted to order cake and had to resort to hand signs.
There were around 100 cattle forward for the show and a large number of people had gathered to attend and view the animals in the Hall. During the classes I was asked to give reasons for my decisions for each animal in every class.This was not a problem apart from the fact that my German is very limited - so my comments were very well translated by Berthold Risse and Sabine Busse. I had last judged in Germany in 2009 and between then and now I have seen a great improvement in the overall standard of the cattle presented at the show. In particular, I noticed a big difference in the feet of the cattle as they were all well trimmed and correct. If the animals have poor hoof condition it will affect their movement in and out of the show ring. The cattle were well washed and groomed and, for the most part, well behaved in the ring. There were a few head collars that were loose and this made it more difficult for the handlers to control their animals. This is something that could easily be remedied. I found out later that a few of the animals before me were from Scotland but this
was of no consequence in the ring at the time of judging. The process of judging took quite a while as some classes needed more thought than others, and we also had a 45 minute break for lunch.
Once I had chosen all my class winners there were the championships for both male and female so the anticipation moved up a notch. The quality of all the class winners was a credit to their owners and these animals would not have looked out of place at shows in the UK. After my final consideration I chose for my Male Champion the red Bull, Outside vom Eiserbachtal , from Falk Pommer, Scheibe Alsbach and for my reserve Male Sindbad vor der Rehhecke, an other red bull from JochenBorn, Bad Berleburg Wingeshausen. My Female Champion a red Heifer, Bea vom Flaminghof from Falko Schluter, Niedergorsdorf, ( he was so delighted he jumped in the air and let out a yell), my reserve was Desidera of Eekkeloh a Black cow with calf from Ferdinand Marschalk, Elmlohe. After the show I attended the AGM of the German Highland Cattle Society where Andreas Bechler was elected to be the new society President. We then had a great meal and the trophies were presented to the winners and also for the sausage making which went to Andreas. ( a good start to his time as President ) We enjoyed our four days in Germany and met a lot of great people from not only Germany, but many other European countries. We met some old friends and hopefully made some new ones. I would like to thank Falko for asking me to judge the show and wish Andreas Bechler and the German society all the very best for 2013 and in the future. Tom Thomson Woodneuk Fold
14th Highland Cattle Show - Switzerland A hattrick for the show president The president of the organising committee of the Swiss Highland Cattle Show, Günter Hartmann, won three times: female champion, best heifer, best group of animals in the Breeder’s Cup. Wow – what a hattrick! He was very surprised of this success, but somehow had a little bit expected it as well.......or at least dreamed of.
On Friday evening, while we were doing all the installation, the construction, building the ring and the tables for the restaurant, many curious soldiers came over and spent their guard duty next to the stables, having a look at these exotic animals..... Another speciality of the Swiss show: every year this event is held in a different city or village, in a different part of our country - sometimes in the West, in the East, in the Middle part of Switzerland - to show the Highland Cattle to people who would never have the chance to see one in nature, to tell people about the hardyness of this animal, the characteristics and the exceptionally good, healthy and tasty beef – all the advantages we love our cattle for!
Günter also won the “Breeders’ Cup”, the best group of animals of one breeder (with the Danish judge Niels Seidenfaden).
“
Horns instead of guns, cows instead of tanks, pipers instead of ‘Marschmusik’
”
The Swiss show is usually held at the end of march, when the winter period ends, when the animals are still in the sheds and when a breeder can train his show animals easily. This year, the show has been even earlier, on 2nd and 3th March, in a hall of the Swiss army in the middle of the city of Frauenfeld. It must have been the first time that Highlanders walked around where usually Swiss soldiers are trained, but as Günter works for the city government, he has very good relations and managed to get the hall for our show. And – the staff of the army were invited to a drink in the “Highlander Bar” on Sunday morning and enjoyed the show very much!
The pipe band “Happy Pipers” rocks the ring!
But one thing always stays the same: the Sunday morning concert of the “Happy Pipers”, the first bag pipe band of Switzerland: always impatiently expected by our breeders (or especially by the breed secretary), for this is the moment when the main work is done, when the show is running, when it’s just time to enjoy the event, to have a drink with friends or family – and to know exactly why we do his event, why we work all night, why we spend months of work and organisation: for these 2 beautiful days in march where we can show to the Swiss people that there is a breed that fits perfectly in our amazing alps, that survives where no other breed can cope, that looks great, tastes great – and has an enormous cult status potential!

Black is beautiful...... 50 of the most beautiful Swiss animals were shown and judged by the Danish expert Niels Seidenfaden. Niels has been in Switzerland before: in 2007 he has judged our show in Brunegg. It was very interesting for him to see the progress the Swiss breeders have made: „Most of the shown animals could compete with international champions“, he said. He compared the Swiss animals to other breeds and countries: “Your animals are very close to the Scottish breed standards: not too big, little fat, muscles, good feet and legs, triangular heads, beautiful horns and the cows have a feminine expression”. Do you prefer black cows, Niels? “No”, he says laughing, “it is a pure coincidence that the male and the female champion are black!”. Even the cow that won the young breeders’ cup (or lets say: who was led by the winner, the 12 year old Soena Streckeisen) was a black one!
Sepp Gisler with “Pius IV. von Asperden”, male champion 2013
Reserve male champion 2013: “PSB Max” by Sepp Gisler Female champion 2013: “Hartmann’s Flo” by Günter Hartmann is a very nice 4-year old heifer who seems to fulfil what Niels wants from a Highlander: a harmonious exterior, regular physiques, a very good udder, good legs, a beautiful triangular head and nice horns
Cattle Society president Walter Schluep gets an original Swiss “Chueschälle” or “Trychle” (now try to pronounce it! If you speak Gaelic, Swiss German should be no problem for you!) for his work as a commentator.
The ranking But let’s get back to the winners again: Male champion 2013: “Pius IV. von Asperden” by Ernst Bamert is a 9 year old, very well conditioned beautiful black bull with a masculine expression, who must have been in the exact same top condition a few months before: “I didn’t feel any fat on his body, only muscles!” said Niels. He told the breeders to look carefully for a good bull: “The bull is 50% of your fold, don’t buy a big fat animal: look at him, touch him – choose him with your eyes, with your heart and with your hands!”
Günter with this heifer “Flo”, who was elected female champion 2013.
Reserve female champion 2013: “Heike” by Robert Schuler Best heifer with the same breeder and owner: “Hartmann’s Flo”, Günter Hartmann Reserve best heifer: “Seonaid Ruadh 7th of Killochries” by Sepp Gisler Best groups of animals from the same breed, the “Breeder’s Cup”: Günter Hartmann Young breeders cup: Soena Streckeisen with the cow “Sarah”
Largest beef breed exhibition of Switzerland
Soena Streckeisen (12) won the “Young breeders’ cup” with her cow “Sarah”.
Also have a look on our website: www.highlandcattle.ch/show/ranglisten for the full ranking
If you wish to come over to Switzerland: come to the “beef” exhibition, the largest beef breed event of Switzerland from 29th August until 8th September 2013! This year, the organisers offer free entrance and a free drink to guests from abroad, so take the chance and have a look at what the smallest country in the heart of Europe can do in beef production, marketing, breeding - and partying: the Swiss Highland Cattle Society will have their own restaurant (as in 2010), with Highland specialities, with a bar, with a group of animals..... And lots of Swiss folklore events expect you as well! If you need help in organising an accommodation, just contact the Swiss Highland Cattle Society: info@ highlandcattle.ch, we will be glad to help you. See you in Switzerland! Take care and - as the Swiss say - “Glück im Stall”! Mara Simonetta, Breed Secretary Highland Cattle Society (Switzerland Section)
National Show - Australia October 2011 and I receive an invitation to judge the Australian National Highland Show. Wow what an honour. Should I go? It’s a long way. Can I be away from home for a couple of weeks at silage time? Of course I can, who is going to miss me when there is work to do? So I book the flights in December when they are at there cheapest (I think). So June arrives and I set off to the other side of the world. The show is to take place at Mount Pleasant which is about an hour from Adelaide in the Barrosa valley, home of most of Australia’s wine producers. I arrived a couple of days before the show so I took the opportunity to have a look round Adelaide and the surrounding area. June is in the middle of the Australia’s winter so it was only 50 degree’s, If only our summers were as hot. Everywhere was very dry in fact the only thing in the fields that was green was the cacti. The sheep seem to be grazing soil unlike at home where they seem to do more swimming then grazing. After staying at a very nice B & B run by a real character I was taken to the show by a chap who amazingly went to the YFC in our area at home at the same time as my father, it is a small world.
21 animals were entered for the show which might not seem many but when you consider were the folds are Australia is a big place. Some of the cattle had travelled over 9 hours to get to the show. Classes for the show were slightly different to here in that they split the age groups more. Four yearling bulls were forward and one aged bull. Colour doesn’t seem to bother the breeders over there as quite rightly they prefer a good animal to a nice colour. The champion animal came from the yearling heifer class which was the best class of the day. It was a really nice heifer which would have competed well over here. All the cattle were very well presented with a lot of young handlers which is good for the future of the breed over there. After the presentation of many prizes for the different classes and handler classes the day was rounded off by an excellent meal for all the people attending the event. It was a privilege to judge the show and give the breeders over in Australia my support. It is a long way but it was well worth the effort of going there. Robert Phillip

National Show - Denmark At the beginning of July 2012, we left for our week in Denmark where I had been asked by the Danish Society President, Niels Seidenfaden, to be the judge at the 25th Anniversary Show. This was to be held at the Exhibition Centre in Herning. The Thomson family have been involved with the Danish Society since it first started 25 years ago. One of the first Danish breeders to visit Woodneuk was Jorn Uhre when my father helped him purchase cattle in Oban to go to Denmark. We have remained friends with a number of Danish people since then and I was absolutely delighted to be asked to judge at this special show.
Our trip was organised by Ann Margaret Sorensen, the Danish Society secretary. The first night was spent in a town called Mariager where we stayed in the oldest hotel in the town which was surrounded by roses. Mariager is known as “town of the roses” and now we know why. Ann Margaret and her husband Paul treated us to a wonderful meal at their home where we discussed the plans for the next few days. Having previously sent some young bulls to Denmark we were keen to see the Performance Test Station for young bulls of beef breeds at Aalestrup. A number of bulls every year from all breeds of cattle in Denmark are sent to the station to allow Viking Genetics to select the best bulls for the A.I. programme and also to measure and evaluate growth rates, temperament and estimated breeding values (EBV). This was a most interesting visit and at the time we were there we saw 7 different breeds in the testing centre. Later that day, we visited Ann Margaret’s husband Paul at Viking Genetics offices in Assentoft where we saw some of the processing of semen from various beef and dairy breeds including sexed semen.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and were made most welcome by all the staff we met.
Then on to the show. The judging in Denmark is very different to the U.K. as every animal is given points ranging from 19 to 24. The points system works in this way - animals with 19 points should really have stayed at home and anything given 24 points is deemed to be a perfect example of the breed. All animals given 23 points are eligible to go forward to the male and female championships the next day. There were just under 40 Highland Cattle at the show and I gave most animals scores of 22 and 23 with only a few receiving 21 points. I was impressed with the standard of the cattle before me at the show. The next morning all 23 point scoring cattle were back in the show ring to compete for the championships. I picked a black heifer Rosenhoj Frida from Ernst Sorensen as my female champion and my male champion was Carlos Di Sasso from Mogens Stendal. This bull was moved up to 24 points and so also was a young bull from Anni and Peter Assenbjerg.
In the evening, there was the annual dinner with highland beef being served to over 80 people from 7 different countries. The trophies were presented and congratulations were given to the Danish Society on their 25th Anniversary. Hazel passed on the congratulations from the U.K. Society. One of the highlights for us, apart from the show, was to visit the Pilknose fold of Arne and Sine Hansen. Along with other guests we saw their cattle and wandered round the beautiful garden. I was particularly interested in seeing his bull Arne of Woodneuk which had been the national champion in 2009. Arne also celebrated his 70th birthday that day and the Society threw a party for him in the cattle lines. A great time was had by all!
I would like to thank Niels and the Danish Society for inviting us to the show and also thanks must go to Ann Margaret for everything she did for us including translating my comments in the show ring. We wish the Danish Society every success in the future as they promote our wonderful breed. Here’s to the next 25 years! Tom Thomson Woodneuk

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Highland Cattle in Italy I have been asked to write an article on how Highland cattle are settling in Italy and explain why there is more and more interest in my country for those beautiful animals. It is a great pleasure for me writing this article, however, I need to stress that my thoughts are purely based on personal impressions gathered by talking to people interested in this breeding rather than technical considerations. In 2009, in the East of Italy there were some highland breeders, near Austria. In the rest of the country and in the West there were none. Our farm is located in Valle Varaita, a beautiful rural area in the province of Cuneo, at the border with France. A small river, Varaita runs across the valley in parallel to the only available road. The pass to go across the border to get to France is closed for snow throughout the winter and for most of spring. Old houses, completely made of rocks, date back to 1700. Most things have not changed throughout the years. Unfortunately, around 70 - 80 the number of residents (in all Alpine zone) has dramatically dropped especially above 1200mt.; people have moved to more industrialised areas. As a consequence, lands have been abandoned and have grown wild and we have wolfs again. It seemed to us a good idea, to try to introduce Highlands,
as animals able to exploit rough but nourishing grazing as well as standing our winter. They perfectly adapted to cold weather (colder winters can reach temperature of – 15°/ - 20° C) and, by now, we haven’t and problems with the wolfs. In July we easily reach the hill country by going from 1200 mt (winter stable) to summer grazing (2500/3000mt above sea level.). Summer heat is well tolerated by animals staying downstream thanks to good water availability. The satisfaction of breeding those animals is priceless! Throughout the years, people have been approaching us for the following three reasons:
•
•
•
The quality of the meat: demand for organic meat, breeding in a semi-natural state, is increasing; people are more careful about what they eat. Breeding ease: Highland cattle easily adapt to natural breeding and do not have problems in giving birth; therefore, also people with little experience have shown interest in those animals. Beauty: People (private and farm holidays) have purchased cattle only for the pleasure of seeing and showing them in their own fields/ gardens, like tourist attractions.
Going along a new way, it was very important for us to belong to an association able of supporting us and keeping us updated with informative material. The same feeling has been shared by another four farmers who have bought our animals during the years. They were extremely satisfied with the purchases and have personally requested to become members of HCS in order to be informed, via the newsletter, about this stunning breeding. Best wishes from “MoragFold”, Italy. Donatella Acella & family; Roberto Galliano.

Royal Winter Fair 2012
There were only 2 bullocks forward for the steer sired by a Highland Bull at this year’s Royal Winter Fair. Both were from Emma Paterson of the Benmore fold. The heavy bullock weighed in at 504 kgs and was sold at 215 pence per kilo to S Bellard, Butchers, Castle Douglas and the lighter bullock was 490 kgs and was sold to James Whannel of Shotts at 195 pence per kilo. This is an annual competition supported by the Highland Cattle Society. For more information for 2013 please contact the society office.
Supplying animals for Dovecote Park Christmas order We have been supplying Highland animals to Dovecote Park for 6 years now after taking 150 animals in total from several different farmers, They are now taking in excess of 400. We supply about a 100 of these mainly our own animals but we also finish some of Dovecote’s animals as well. These are bought from various farmers from around the country but they have to be with me before the 1st of September to be farm assured. They will take steers or heifers up to 40 months of age prior to slaughter, preferably without horns as they are easier to handle but they can take them with horns as well. We find that giving them a small amount of rolled barley/beef nut mix from September onwards
gives them a good finish. Our dehorned cattle are housed usually from October depending on the weather. The horned cattle have to stay outside as we don’t have the facilities to feed them inside. Our aim is to get them to an average deadweight of 250-280kg on the under 30 month cattle which if the animals are kept going can be achieved. The over 30 month ones we like to average 300kg to 320kg. There is no upper weight limit but animals have to be over 220kg. All cattle have to be by a registered Highland bull it doesn’t matter what the dam is as long as the sire is registered. Hopefully as demand keeps increasing for Highland beef (As it is) all breeders can benefit. Robert Phillip

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Schmallenberg As science and knowledge of this disease is advancing rapidly, it should be noted that this article was written in March 2013 and the content of this article is based on the understanding available of this disease at the time. Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a novel virus that has been associated with disease in ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) in Europe since November 2011. It is closely related to other viruses circulating in Africa, Asia and Australia, which are transmitted by biting insects and cause foetal deformities. Insect born viruses, such as Bluetongue, used to be only seen in tropical areas, but due to climate changes and possibly increased long distant transport of food and flowers from tropical areas, these viruses are more frequently seen in moderate climates like Northern Europe. In Europe, SBV was first detected in Germany and has been named ‘Schmallenberg’ after the town where the first case was identified. The virus spread rapidly to many other countries in Europe including the UK, where the first cases were reported in January 2012. Despite cases being reported in Cumbria, Ireland and on the Isle of Man, it appears that the Hadrian’s Wall has been an effective tool in preventing infected midges from flying into Scotland. Infection in the UK has been confirmed in sheep, cattle, goats and alpacas. The virus has also been detected in roe deer, fallow deer, red deer, mouflon, bison and wild boar, although no deformed foetuses have been reported in these species to date. There has been no confirmation of presence of the virus in UK wildlife. It appears that the virus is only transmitted from animal to animal with the help of vectors like biting midges, and possibly by sand flies and mosquitoes. Midge trapping studies in Holland have shown that the proportion of insects carrying the Schmallenberg virus is 10 times greater than was the case with the Bluetongue virus. Recently there has been a report of a bull which excreted virus in its semen. At this stage, more research is needed to establish whether venereal disease transmission can occur. When adult cattle get infected with SBV it causes relatively mild symptoms that persist for a short period of time. Symptoms can vary from fever, loss of appetite, and milk drop in lactating
Maarten Boers. animals. It is thought that it is the fever which can cause fertility issues particular in synchronized herds and flocks. Fever in bulls can cause sub- or infertility for up to six weeks. However, the most prominent symptoms by far, are the birth defects seen in calves and lambs. The virus appears to affect the development of the skeleton and the nervous system. This causes animals to be born with bent limbs, stiff joints/necks and shortening of the jaw. These animals are rarely born alive, but if they are uncoordination can be the only symptom. Deformed calves often require assistance at calving or occasionally caesarean section. Great care should be taken to avoid causing (permanent) damage to the dam during birth. The time window of when these foetal malformations to develop is thought to be in early to mid pregnancy (estimated to be 80-140 days of gestation in cattle and 30-60 days of gestation in sheep). Infected animals are believed to carry the virus for a few days only after which antibodies are produced which can be picked up by a blood test. The virus is only detected in the bloodstream for 2-7 days and any disease symptoms (eg. fever, diarrhea, milk drop) are only visible for a short period of time. It is possible that infection before mating may give good immunity with minimal impact on the next breeding season. How long this immunity will last
for is uncertain, but current thinking is that it could be in the order of 12-18 months. In those holdings that are affected, the within herd/flock impact in terms of deformities is likely to be mild in most cases, with 2-5% of pregnancies being affected. It has been shown that housed herds have lower prevalence compared to those grazing during the midge season. The total financial impact of the disease on a livestock business is currently hard to quantify. Over time we will build up a better understanding of the disease and its cost implications. Despite what was initially reported in some tabloid papers, there is no evidence of human infection when people have been working in close contact with infected animals. In Holland recently, 300 Dutch farmers were blood tested at a meeting and all were negative. If you have any suspicion that the symptoms described above, either in adult or in newly born animals, might have been seen in your herd, please contact your vet to discuss this. If you are in an area where SBV has not been seen before funding might be available to pay for testing. Blood testing can determine if antibodies for SBV are present which will confirm exposure. Unfortunately it will
not be possible to tell when your animals have been exposed to the virus. Detection of the virus in aborted fetuses and malformed lambs and calves can be done on tissue samples taken on post mortem examinations. Until a vaccine becomes available there is very little that can be done to protect livestock. Midge/ fly control preparations are unlikely to prevent the first bites, which transmit infection. However, insecticides may help reduce local spread by preventing further blood meals. Other measures such as improved biosecurity, housing livestock and removing muck heaps to deny swarms of midges access to breeding habitats may help to reduce the disease threat. Tyres on silage clamps are also thought to be good breeding grounds for midges, as they often hold water and the black rubber tends to heat up quickly in the sun. Currently there is one pharmaceutical company that has developed a vaccine. At time of writing the company is working closely with the regulatory authorities to get a license for use in the UK. We can only speculate as to when the new vaccine will be available. Maarten Boers
Eurotier 2012 Early November and 3 intrepid Highland Breeders, our wonderful secretary and myself head to Hanover in Germany to attend the largest agricultural show in the world (allegedly). Jim McConachie, Rich Thomson and Willie MacLean were there to promote the breed and our own fold’s. We were part of the Great Britain stand which also featured the Longhorn, Hereford, Suffolk, Texel and Border Leicester breed societies, Shearwell Data and a waste management company. The Highland breed was helped greatly by Andreas Bechler from the “Gotsgarten Fold” one of the best known German breeders who brought a very good cow and calf to display on the stand. As you can imagine it attracted a lot of interest. We had people from literally all over the world who came to enquire about the breed, most of them interested in the commercial possibilities. One of the most interesting visitors were two gentlemen from Bhutan who wanted Highland semen to put on to Yak’s. The mind boggles but they were really serious.
Taking a quick break – from left Jim, Willie, Rich and Robert - please note I don’t have my baseball cap on!
The opportunity to visit shows such as this is open to every breeder as grants from the UK export department help to pay for you to attend these type of shows and pay for the Highland share of the stand. It is a great experience to meet breeders from around the world and advertise your own fold. People in other countries are looking for UK bred animals so why can’t they be yours? Robert Phillip

Robert Wain of Rose Fold won Supreme Reserve Champion with Eilidh of Kipper Lynn, another 3 year old heifer which he had bought from the NEHCBC Highland Sale at Chelford Auction previously.

The name given to the strategy for preventing the spread of infection is Biosecurity. Simple measures can be undertaken at a personal level to reduce the risks and thereby help improve the health, productivity and welfare of livestock. There are many diseases in Britain that are easily spread by human contact with infected animals, for example Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Enzootic Abortion of Ewes, (EAE), Orf, Sheep Scab and Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA).

Royal Highland Show 2012 A slightly overcast morning heralded the start of the Highland classes at this year’s Royal Highland Show. With full classes for section judge William Thomson from Woodneuk certainly had his work cut out for him. This year’s overall and female champion came from the two year old class from Alan & MaryAnne Blackburn of the Roisbheinn Fold, Caputh, Perthshire with Eilidh 3rd of Roisbheinn by Phillip 2nd of Auchtenny out of Eilidh 1st of Roisbheinn. The heifer was brought out by Colin Smith, Alan & Mary-Anne’s grandson.
The reserve overall and male champion came from the Mottistone Fold belonging to Mr Michael Poland and brought out by stockman Willie Maclean. Eoin Mhor 11th of Mottistone by Eoin Mhor of Miungairigh. Reserve male champion also came from the Mottistone Fold – Eoin Mhor 8th of Mottistone out of Molly 6th of Craigowmill and again by Eoin Mhor of Miungairigh. Benuich 1st of Munlochy from Bob & Jill Tilford was the junior champion, by Bratach Mor of Coirefuar and out of Benuich 6th of Leys brought out by Bob himself. The reserve was from Mrs Jon Strickland, Olga of Cladich by Piobaire Ruadh of Dunvegan and out of Olga of Fossoway brought out by stockman Stuart Campbell. Best group of three came from Michael Poland.
Eilidh 3rd of Roisbheinn of the Roisbheinn Fold.
Standing reserve to Eilidh was Smeorach of An Sidhean from the senior cow class by James Beusach of Shenavallie out of Sally 3rd of Gallanach and brought out by stockman Angus MacGillivray.

It was very enjoyable to be given the opportunity to judge such a strong entry of cattle and I must thank the stewards and exhibitors for the efficient way they brought the cattle forward allowing the judging to be completed before the weather broke.”
And the rain starts.....
Judge’s report – William Thomson “It was a great honour to be asked to judge the 2012 Highland Show The exhibitors are to be complimented for the quality and presentation of the animals forward. I chose as my champion Alan Blackburn’s heifer Eilidh 3rd of Roisbhein. A very attractive two yearold shown by the Blackburn’s grandson, Colin Smith who was showing for the first time at the Highland. This heifer stood first in a strong class of fifteen. The reserve was a good mature cow with a well grown calf at foot from Alastair Fitzsimon. A small show of bulls was led by two good well-grown two year olds from Michael Poland brought out by Willie McLean

Great Yorkshire Show 2012 It was a Great day at the Great Yorkshire Show for Michael Poland from the Mottistone Fold on the Isle of Wight, with his Highland team making their way down from north of the border with stockman Willie MacLean and daughter Lynne. Judge John Crilley picked the senior bull Eoin Mhor 8th of Mottistone by Eoin Mhor of Miungairigh and out of Molly 6th of Craigowmill as his overall Highland Champion. This bull was reserve male champion at the Royal Highland Show. His overall reserve and female champion also by Eoin Mhor of Miungairigh and out of Morag Odhar 2nd of Kindrochaid. This heifer was last year’s overall champion at the Royal Highland Show.

Standing reserve to Eoin Mhor in the male championship was the Uther Dhubh Chanaidh of Headland from Steve & Sally Leighton from Derbyshire. This homebred bull is by Coineach of Borland and out of Gruagach Dhubh Chanaidh.
The junior champion came from the yearling bull class, once again from Alastair Fitzsimon, Dugald of Rhudle by Moluag of Tinto and out of Lucy of Kipper Lynn. Reserve junior champion from Gary & Mark Gille Dubh 2nd of Craigowmill and out of Suisaidh Ruadh of Killochries. Best Group of three was won by Gary Braines and the best pair came from Micael Poland.

Group of three from L & L Braines – from left Mark Braines, Tom Ward, & Gary Braines.
Judge John Crilley says “It was a pleasure to judge this show despite the bad weather. For me it was the only major show I have never judged. A very good turnout with two exceptional animals as champion and reserve. I felt the bull was very unlucky to win beef overall champion. Unfortunately due to the inclement weather and ground conditions the Yorkshire Agricultural Society took the very difficult decision of cancelling the show late on the Tuesday afternoon. The interbreed was judged on the hard standing between the cattle sheds and the Highland bull looked exceptionally well but it was not to be his day. The North of England club held an excellent supper within the cattle lines on the Tuesday evening with a good attendance. A charity auction was also held with some great prizes on offer. A big thank you to all who helped set up and break down at the show.
Royal Welsh Show 2012 The mud was removed and the case repacked and headed down the M6 towards Builth Wells for the Royal Welsh Show. With the sun shining on the showground it was Liz Shaw’s responsibility to place this year’s entries at the Royal Welsh Show. This year’s overall winner came from the bull class in the form of the home bred Padruaig of Gilden Vale from Duncan and Angela Handley born in February 2011. This young bull is by Black Prince 2nd of Idvies out of the homebred cow Una Ruadh of Gilden Vale.

heifer shown by her owner Mrs. Beverly Evans, first time in the ring for them both. The heifer had a tremendous body and was great on her legs. I was delighted to be asked to help on the Tuesday by showing one of the animals in the Interbreed Group, ending up being pulled into the short list, a great achievement in such strong competition. Well done to all the exhibitors new and old oops I mean experienced! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit; it’s a big show that feels like a lovely local show, we are all booked up to go back next year. Thank you to those who looked after us.” The Natwest Team of five saw an all black team of Highlanders with 3 animals from the Handleys, Padruaig Dubh of Gilden Vale, three year old, Una Eiteag of Gilden Vale and yearling Una Dubh 3rd of Gilden Vale with Turfrida 27th of Eastol Moor, three year old from John & Val Monk and the two year old Peabar Dubh 1st of the May from Geoff Spawton & Annie May. Garnering some very positive comments for a well matched team, from judge Archie MacGregor the team were delighted to pulled into the shortlist. The pairs came from Duncan and Angela and were thrilled when they were pulled out into the shortlist out of 16 pairs from both continental and native breeds. The marquee was steady through the week but due to the tremendous weather in Wales many of our regular customers were out making hay while the sun shone! A well supported buffet supper was held on the Monday evening with sponsors and members in attendance.

Judge Liz Shaw commented “I was honoured to have been asked to judge the Royal Welsh Show this year. The setting of the Show is beautiful and the weather was fantastic. The standard of the cattle was very good and I was challenged more than once to choose my class winners. My Overall Champion was a lovely young homebred black bull from Duncan and Angela Hadley; he was a good walker and a very naturally fleshed. My female Champion was a 3 year old

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Estates & Farm Review With the Spring property market underway, we are experiencing positive signs for the year ahead. Whilst the market did remain flat during 2012, rural sales are generally less prone to the wild swings we see in some parts of the urban market. Large rural homes without much land did suffer slightly in terms of value during last year with the number of transactions above £1 million being few and far between – but there is still a good market for mid-priced and lower value rural homes where they are priced correctly. As a firm which specialises in the sale, purchase and management of rural estates and farms, the last few years have provided an interesting period and 2013 looks like being no exception. There remains healthy demand for farm properties and other agricultural holdings, despite the ongoing issues surrounding finance and bank lending. For farmland, location, quality, type and price continue to be the most important factors influencing the sale of any property and farmland is no exception. A good, well equipped arable farm will always sell and small blocks of strategically located land will continue to command a premium. Where these boxes are ticked, CKD Galbraith are finding buyers able to invest. Similarly, there appears little sign of demand for Scottish estates abating. It is reputed that Scottish country estates come on to the property market on average once every 16 years. Of course, a great number remain in the same family for generations and this is the primary reason that so much emotional, let alone financial capital, is invested in them. Scottish estates are truly a labour of love. There is generally keen demand from UK buyers, although international interest remains strong as well and as a rule, demand continues to outstrip supply. Record grouse numbers have been recorded over the last two years, many rivers have been teeming with salmon and it is these natural resources that drive the market forward. The added attraction of renewable energy potential can also fuel demand from certain buyers. Understandably estate purchasers are very particular and have a very keen eye on exactly
what they are looking for. For this reason estates do not sell overnight but careful preparation by the agent and accurate presentation of what is involved often results in a successful sale with the minimum disruption. Increasingly estates are selling privately between individuals who are keen to exercise discretion in their investments. The agent is key to a successful sale - whether privately or on the open market - as the correct presentation of the details of the property is essential to allow a smooth transaction to proceed. Given the unrivalled beauty and enduring qualities of Scottish farms and estates, it is almost certain that future listings will remain in demand – one area of the market that we consider can help optimistic predictions about future property prices.

Stars of the Future Show Forfar Market - 17th November 2012 I was delighted to have been asked to judge the Highland Cattle Section at the Stars of the Future Show in Forfar. The Highland Breed was represented by eight breeders who exhibited approximately fifteen 2012 animals very well throughout the show.
Male Champion.
Lady White 97th of Balmoral.
Prize winners included HA Garton with a January born Bull calf, Her Majesty the Queen with both a February born bull calf and a February born heifer calf and Messrs Young and Brown with a March born heifer calf. Her Majesty the Queen won the Junior Bull Championship with their March born calf which was sired by Hamish Mhor 2nd of Callachally. Overall Junior Champion, again from our Patron, was a well grown heifer calf and bred from the same Lady White family but this time by a home bred sire.
This is a show which gives all breeds a great opportunity to showcase their young stock and in particular it gives breeders a platform to exhibit potential herd sires to other breeders. With nine breeds exhibited at a show which is well planned and organised to perfection on the day, it is an event which has much to offer our breed and I would encourage all enthusiasts to attend and if possible participate. Sometimes when our breed is exhibited at an event such as this, it is very easy to be critical of our stock compared to the popular commercial breeds which are largely used as terminal sires in a suckler cow enterprise. Our breed has a lot to offer the industry and on the day, I believe we had as high a percentage of quality animals shown as the other breeds paraded, so well done to those who made the effort and supported the breed so well on the day.

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL
Andrew Morrow Award I am delighted to be the first recipient of the Andrew Morrow Award. I knew Andrew and admired his wealth of knowledge about Highland cattle and farming in general from the beginning of my interest in the breed, he was one of the first of many colourful and friendly characters I have met since I began to keep Highlanders…. As the only son born into a farming family I was brought up milking cows and working with my Father tending sheep and beef cattle The highlight of the year for me as a youngster was when our local Beith agricultural show came around and I exhibited calves and poultry being immensely proud when I took home winning rosettes to show my mother! In my teenage years my Father decided to stop keeping dairy cattle and sheep and concentrate on beef cattle. By that time I had a keen interest in poultry, breeding and showing both bantams and large fowl. I became a poultry judge almost 30 years ago and have continued to show and judge many breeds all over Britain. I have always enjoyed being involved in breed clubs and have served on many committees over the years. I became interested in Highland cattle around the late 80’s when Helen and I, having a short holiday up north, came upon some magnificent specimens, we pondered the idea of having a few cattle which we could keep as a hobby and perhaps show, this led to our fold being formed in 1990 when we purchased a yearling heifer from William Thomson, Woodneuk.
By 1992 we had increased our number to 3 heifers and decided it was time to try our hand showing them at Beith show. We were delighted to say the least when the respected and renowned judge of the day Andrew Morrow awarded all 3 heifers 2nd in their respective classes and Boidheach Ruadh 2nd of Balinoe, our 3 year old heifer, was reserve best of breed to Tom McLatchies 3 year old Una 10th of Millarston. We have been showing ever since! In the years that followed we won the small show fold twice and have been runner up twice. In 1999 we had 9 cows and had to compete for the large fold, to our delight we won and the following year we became runner up to the large fold .Over the years as everyone who is acquainted with showing will know, one can never tell what will happen on the day, in the show ring, who will take home the rosettes, who will be disappointed, we have had our share of ups and downs, being elated when receiving “champion” but coming home to re think when being further down the line! My accolade in the show ring came in 2007 when my 3 year old heifer Clagorm 6th of Glengarnock won breed champion at the royal highland show, incidentally, she is a granddaughter of our original heifer. Our fold has gradually increased as the years have gone past and I have enjoyed showing and judging for many years as well as serving on the council and having the ultimate honour of being President of the society from 2008-2010 Throughout the years Andrew Morrow and I remained good friends. He, in my opinion, was an excellent fieldsman, a fair judge and a very successful and enthusiastic breeder and storyteller! Thank you so much to everyone involved in bestowing this prestigious award upon me. I am still amazed and overwhelmed that I have been chosen to receive it. Andrew Kirkpatrick
Andrew Morrow 1921 - 2012 A Scottish farming legend A larger than life personality, Andrew had an amazing enthusiasm and zest for life which shone through in everything he did. Only in the latter stages of his illness would he confess: “Aye the brae’s gettin’ a wee bit steeper.” He was a man who was generous of spirit and many benefitted from his help and advice, but often given in a frank and no nonsense fashion as he did not suffer fools gladly. Andrew was born at Greenblairs, near Airdrie, the oldest of four, having a brother, George, and two sisters, Jean and Margaret. His father retailed milk until the long miner’s strike of 1926 put paid to that stream of income and the family moved to Nettlinflat, at Heriot, where his father was head dairyman for a period before moving to Ainville, Mid Calder. He began his working life at Heriot as an orra laddie.The family next moved to Langholm, where Andrew worked delivering milk and working Clydesdale horses. They eventually moved back to Mid Calder district, to Bankton, where Andrew met and started courting Maisie Lind. The couple got married and Andrew had to seek a job with married quarters. He applied to Douglas and Angus Estates and began work at Hirsel and Old Greenlaw for the princely sum of £5 per week. He loved the work there and quickly made great improvement in the husbandry of these farms. Andrew was then appointed farm manager for Douglas and Angus, at Douglas, in Lanarkshire, and with the addition of Alex and Mary, the family moved to Parisholm in 1955 and began a close association with ‘all things Douglas’ which lasted until he died. When he came to Douglas, Andrew did not claim a great knowledge of Blackface sheep but with the true stocksman’s eye soon found himself at home with the breed. His first love, however, was always cattle and, of course, his beloved Highlanders. He was interviewed for a radio programme several years ago where his unique record of
attending more than a hundred Oban Highland cattle sales came to the fore. His most quoted phrase was that ‘a guid Highlander should have a mooth like a shovel and a tongue like a scythe.’ Recently, Andrew was interviewed by Karen Carruth, of The Scottish Farmer, for her column ‘Still game’ and reminisced about his favourite cow:-
“
There was a cow called Fuinary Queen, which won the Royal Highland Show three years on the trot. We are going way back now mind you, maybe as far back as the 1910s. She was the best cow at Douglas. There was nothing to beat her. Another one that sticks in my mind that I bred was Barable of Douglas. She was shown at Ayr and at the Highland, around 25 years ago. One of the highest prices I got for a bull in my day at 4500gns, was called Mactallam of Douglas.
”
His only hobby away from farming was curling. He joined Douglas Curling Club shortly after coming to Parisholm and was a keen member over many years. He is survived by his son Alex, daughter Mary and four grandchildren.
Remembering friends of the society we have lost in 2012. Mr Eric Barr, Mrs Moira McConachie, Mr J Fraser.
