HIGHLAND BREEDERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JOURNAL

President’s Message I would like to commend the office staff, council and the membership for all their hard work over the past year which has resulted in some significant achievements and progress for the society. When I was writing for the journal last year the society was in a very challenging financial position. We set out a plan to overcome that with some immediate changes to the fees, further cost reductions and the start of the creation of the 10 year strategy. We have stayed on track with a reduction in loss of 50% which puts us in position to return to break even by the end of this year and a modest profit by the end of next. It is still imperative that we all work together to promote and champion our breed and society. When you read this in June the 10 year strategy will have been approved by council and will be used as a blue print for change and development over the coming years. It will allow a level of continuity that has been very difficult to achieve over the years. It will help council and the membership concentrate and Tom Nelson. focus on the key objectives of the breed. We have seen an encouraging improvement at this years February bull sale, with demand strong from Italy, Germany and form home. I would like to congratulate Hazel for the hard work that she has put in, nurturing breeders from Italy, France, Germany and many other countries which produced the dividend of 29 cattle heading to Italy in February, including the champion. In October we will see the departure of Hazel and I would like to thank her on behalf of all the membership for her tireless service to the society. She has been a fantastic asset, with her networking and people skills being second to none. I wish her all the best in the future. The council is looking at Hazel’s departure as an opportunity to review the management and governance of the society and we will keep the membership informed when we have conducted our review. The Highland Cattle Society relies on the membership both for its income but also for its leadership and governance. I would like to ask all members to give serious consideration to the request for new council members, which is made each year in January. In order for the council to be strong and effective we need more members to be willing to put themselves forward to serve on council. Tom Nelson

VAT CHARGEABLE TO OVERSEAS MEMBERS The rule is there is no general relief for the export of services as there is for goods. 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: Barclays, 225-227 High Street, Ayr, KA7 1RB Account Number 40972681 Sort Code 20 33 70 You should also give them the following account numbers: IBAN Number GB37BARC20337040972681 BIC BARCGB22 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.

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.

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 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 30th April 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 January of the previous year and last day of April of the previous year. All young bulls must be birth notified prior to the 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.

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.

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. 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 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.

CATTLE HEALTH The UK is officially Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL) free. Breeders are asked to keep the office advised of any change in the health status of their folds.

FERTILIZED OVUM TRANSPLANT (FOT) REGULATIONS (Please note regulations have been amended) General • No calf born by FOT will be registered in the Highland Cattle Herd Book unless the conditions stated in these Regulations are fully satisfied. • Members intending to use FOT should first contact the Society Office so that the eligibility of animals can be verified and advice given on the administrative procedures which have to be followed. Basic qualifications for the acceptance of a donor female for FOT • The donor female must be a pedigree Highland female • registered in the Herd Book and must: • be DNA-typed by a recognised DNA-typing agency; 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:

Notification of Intention to export an embryo Prior notice is to be made to the Highland Cattle Society before any action is taken to export an embryo. Value Added Tax VAT at the current rate will be charged on all the fees mentioned above and appropriate VAT receipts will be issued by the Highland Cattle Society.

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:

9 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 The scheme will run throughout the year. This scheme is 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. Bulls must have been registered and have had a veterinary inspection prior to the assessment. This is currently being reviewed.

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

somewhat longer, though they preserve their substance and a rich reddish appearance to the very tips. The lack of the appearance of substance or â&#x20AC;&#x153;sappinessâ&#x20AC;? 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 Highland Cattle Club of Wales The club’s first event of the year was the Spring Festival in May at the Royal Welsh Showground, and although there were only native breed classes a very good turnout of highlands were well placed in each class. The club display stand was yet again well set up and staffed by members over the weekend and the cow and calf on it were presented by a new member. Nice to see new people getting involved! Shropshire show over the border was an interesting day, with a lot of rain and mud on site proving it rains across the border, not just in Wales. All the competitors enjoyed themselves with their enthusiastic dedication towards this showing lark. At the Royal Welsh Show members were offered a £50 incentive to bring their cattle to the show for the first time in five years. There were three new exhibitors, bringing the numbers to thirty two cattle. There were two mishaps: Robin Chilton injured himself the day before the show but despite being fragile with broken ribs and bruising managed to battle on the whole week. Duncan Handley chopped the end of his finger off, had stitches at A&E, and also dedicatedly carried on one handed for the rest of the week. Such is the community of the show circle that everyone pulled together to help each other and the rest of the week went smoothly. The club would like to thank Hazel for supporting the show yet again with the help of various members – we would be lost without this valuable back up.

The Club Open Day in September at James and Jacky Williamson’s in Bishops Castle was well attended. A talk on bull assessment given by Robin Chilton gave a good guide to what we should expect

from our bulls - as a consequence of this talk James and Jacky’s bull calf, who was used for the talk, was castrated 2 days later! There was also a talk from a Grass Specialist on how best to manage areas of conservation grazing and the importance of regular lime spreading and how tests showed it is better to feed animals a mineral supplement rather than spread it on the ground. Finally before lunch a local vet went through the key diseases affecting cattle and how best to manage them. A lovely BBQ lunch with home produced sausages and burgers was followed by a visit to Trevor Wheelers farm a few miles away. He has two Shropshire wildlife sites on which Highlands are grazed. Tea was in the straw bale building which is mainly used for teaching purposes – local primary schools and schools for disturbed children use it all the time and Trevor is also setting up a care-farming operation. All in all, a very interesting day.

The AGM and Christmas Dinner were again held at the Elan Valley Hotel, Rhyader and a record number of members attended. Mo Morgan stepped down and Bev Evans took over as Secretary. Robin entertained with a quiz and auction after the meal adding to a very enjoyable evening. There was a sad end to the year when our very much loved and admired Annie May Spawton passed

away having been ill for a while. We all send our love to Geoff at this hard time. Without Annie and Geoff we would not have the club we have today and we are very grateful to them for starting and running HCCW. Looking forward to 2015 we would love to see as many of our Scottish and English friends as possible at the Royal Welsh Show in July – why not bring along your cattle as well!

Young Handlers – the Future of Showing in Wales and the Borders

East of Scotland Highland Cattle Club We started 2014 with our Club show which was held in May at West Busby Farm, courtesy of Ann and Norm Taylor. The weather was great and the event was enjoyed by all who participated and attended. Our judge for the day was John Mackay who chose Donald and Bryon MacNaughton’s 2 Year Old Heifer as Champion; Reserve was Maureen McArthur’s Yearling Heifer. Donald and Bryon went on to have a very successful show season in both the North and East areas, well done to them!

Mikki MacNaughton bull.

Bryon McNaughton’s Champion 2 year old Heifer.

It was also very heartening to see so many new Young Handlers this year; the Winner was Lewis Singer (Aged 8)

We received some very sad news that our friend George Brown had passed away April 2014. George who along with his wife Doreen, had been a long standing, active member of the Club for over twenty years. They became Honorary Members after they part-emigrated to sunny Florida, spending half the year in the Scottish summer and the rest of the year in Florida. George is greatly missed by his many friends in the Club. It was also with great sadness that our Chairman Sandy Barrie passed away. He was an active member and a friend to many. He is dearly missed. Our AGM was held on 01 March 2015 and the new Committee was formed including two new Ofﬁce Bearers: Chairman: Vice Chairman: Secretary: Treasurer:

John Singer Bryon McNaughton Sheryll Stewart Margaret McGowan

We also welcomed many new members to the club and look forward to planning the new events for 2015.

Young Handlers winner, Lewis Singer.

Our Annual Treasure Hunt was held on Sunday 13 July, organised by Roddy and Bell McNaughton. We started off from the Red House Hotel, Coupar Angus and had a very enjoyable and interesting route round Blairgowrie and Dunkeld before returning to the Red House for a meal. The winning team was Team McGowan. Thanks to Roddy and Bell for organising the Hunt, and to all that took the time to attend.

Ginny & John.

North of England Highland Cattle Club 2014 enjoyed a good harvest, corn prices were down, beef prices were up and fodder was plentiful. The NEHCBC started the year with the Highland show and sale at Chelford livestock centre, where Steve and Sally Leighton won the Championship with Uther Dhubh Chanaidh of Headland, a home bred three year old bull. Graves Park, Sheffield, again hosted the Sheffield Highland Fling, with a good turnout of spectators and exhibitors with some fine Highland cattle.

Moya of Marrick Park and Makhayla of Marrick Park sired by Calum of Knockendon and bred by Ms Julia Carr, with judge Mr Charlie Bruce.

There was a great turnout in the buddy class at the Shefﬁeld Highland Fling.

The show champion was Julia Carr with Moya of Marrick Park from Ms Julia Carr a very good example of a three year old Heifer. Julia continued with her success throughout the show season with Moya, including winning the prestigious title of Champion at the Great Yorkshire Show. The weather continued to be good to us, producing bumper crops and higher than usual beef prices. In June Gary Brains and family held the annual fold visit, and what a fantastic event it was, with a tour around the farm and an insight into the bull assessment scheme. The catering and hospitality provided by Gary and his family was outstanding. Some of our members have had great success throughout the past year, selling beef to the private market and restaurants’ and have gained the esteemed title of premium Highland Beef. This in turn has had success in establishing the Highland as a quality beef animal. At this point I would like to thank everybody for their support of the NEHCBC over the past year, and wish you all every success for the coming year. Mandy Cameron Chairman – NEHCBC

Once again the North of England Club put in a great effort for Housewives Choice and were victorious in winning best native and best overall team. This year they were a world cup squad!

Young Ethan Braines was happy to carry the winning card!

North of Scotland Highland Cattle Club Our Year in the North began with our annual club show which was once again kindly hosted by the Mcgillvary Family at Leys Castle. Our judge for the day was Mr John Crilley who was faced with a strong entry of cattle before choosing a Bull from HM the Queens Balmoral fold, bred by Ken and Eva Brown at Craigowmill, with the reserve being a heifer from Ian and Stuart Mckay. There was also a young handler workshop run on the day with Mr Ian Mathews coming along to give the youngsters some tips on presenting and showing the animals properly.

the Balmoral fold who won the Highland section and went on to lift the Interbreed title at Tarland show with the same bull which won at the RHS. For our club trip a number of us went to Yorkshire to visit the Great Yorkshire Show and Hellifield Highlanders. After travelling down to Yorkshire on the Monday we got settled into our hotel which would be our base for the next 2 nights. Some of us took the opportunity to visit the Woolpack bar which features on Emmerdale others went for a walk in the lovely gardens of the hotel or used the gym and swimming facilities on site before our evening meal. On the Tuesday we went to the Great Yorkshire Show to watch North member Charlie Bruce judging the highland section. An excellent show of cattle were forward and the weather stayed nice for the judging. In the afternoon everyone had a look around the showfield before we joined the exhibitors and North of England club members for a meal and social gathering in the evening. On the Wednesday we went to visit Robert and Wendy Philips’ Hellifield fold. We had a tour around some of their cattle and a look into their Farm Shop from which they sell their Highland Beef and then it was time to load back onto the bus and head back up the road.

Prionnsa Dubh of Craigowmill.

A successful year was had in the show ring by many of our members with both local and national success. The ﬁrst of the national awards taken back to the North was the Highland Championship at the Royal Highland Show which was won by a very powerful bull brought out by HM the Queens Balmoral fold and bred by Mr Roy Tylden Wright’s Ubhaidh fold. 2014 was also ﬁnished with National North success with Ian and Mary Adams winning the Senior Championship at the Stars of the Future calf show and going on to win reserve native interbreed with a yearling heifer which they purchased having won the heifer calf championship at Oban the previous October for the Cladich fold. On the North show circuit a special mention must go to George and Wendy Sutherlands Bardnaheigh Fold who managed to win two Highland Championships on the same day at different shows when they won both Champion and Reserve at Caithness show and Champion at Sutherland show also going on to take the Interbreed title at Sutherland. Another to obtain an Interbreed Success was

North of Scotland Club coach trip.

October brought a Party of Scandinavian visitors to the North area for a tour of several of the North folds before the majority of them went on to the Oban show and sale. This year the North club are organising a national Highland gathering at the Black Isle show on Thursday the 6th of August. We would be delighted to have as many exhibitors as possible in attendance, if you are interested please contact Gordon Mcconachie for more information or for entry forms.

West of Scotland Highland Cattle Club 2014 was successful year for the club with membership increasing slightly to around 80 members. The year began, as always, with the AGM held in January in the Fenwick Hotel. The event was well attended with over 40 members present. The Chairman summarised the main events of the year in terms of shows, fold visits and other happenings. The Vice Chairman gave a more detailed account of the show season and announced that the winner of the West Club Show Fold competition was the Isle of Bute Fold of Ronald McMillan and Eileen Lawrence. This was their third successive year winning the trophy. The Isle of Bute fold also won the HCS large fold competition - a real tribute to ‘Scooby’ and his willing team over the year. 2014 was a Chairman changeover year and Alan Kennedy stood down to be replaced by Stephen Hunter. Catherine McKechnie ﬁlled the Vice Chairman position. In retiring, Alan said that the job had been made very easy indeed by the support of the committee and by the goodwill and camaraderie existing within the club. The AGM having been dispensed with promptly and painlessly, the real business of the evening began. An excellent meal and very sociable evening was had by all. Persuading members to vacate the hotel was a major task. As usual, the club arranged two well attended fold visits, one blessed with beautiful sunshine and one by more traditional west coast weather. A local remarked “You don’t come to Argyll for the sunshine”.

Tuggy Delap visit.

Vice President Tom Thomson, Dexter Logan, judge Iain Mackay and Alan Prentice at Stars of the Future.

Despite the lack of sunshine, the May visit to Tuggy Delap’s Achadunan Fold was voted a great success by the 30 plus attendees. The cattle operation is run in conjuction with a brewery on the estate, the draff waste from the brewery providing a useful food source for the cattle. The cattle are free to graze extensively along the picturesque glen and after a drive/hike to view them we returned for a welcome lunch (in the dry). After lunch we were given a guided tour of the brewery by a well informed and extremely enthusiastic operator. Having seen how the Fyne Ales were produced, we felt obliged (solely in the interest of courtesy) to spend the remainder of the afternoon in the cosy onsite bar sampling the produce and stocking up on supplies for the Highland Show barbecue. Thanks to Tuggy and her team for making a soggy day a great success.

Our second visit, in September, was based at the Fishers Hotel in Pitlochry from where we visited the Balnabroich Fold and Ashmore Estates.

Judge, Stuart McKay presents championship to J&M McKechnie’s 2 year old heifer, being shown by Rich Thomson.

On Saturday we visited Balnabroich Fold in the Strathardle glen. The cattle numbering over 100 are divided into 4 teams including pure highland, pure shorthorn, highland/shorthorn and the fourth team being the crosses further crossed with an Angus or other bull. The cattle were all in very good order as were the pasture, fences and all the infrastructure. After a substantial lunch and chat we headed back to base in Pitlochry. Many thanks to the Nairns and their teams for a most enjoyable visit. The remainder of the day was ‘non coo’. A number escaped to House of Bruar, while the others took a more relaxed approach sampling the local hospitality.

The brewery at Fyne Ales.

On Sunday, again in bright sunshine, we visited Ashmore Estates, where we viewed the pure Highland and Highland/Simmental cross cattle within the 1800 acre picturesque estate. The simmental crosses are put to a simmental bull and sold as ﬁnished 3/4 simmental. We enjoyed a late, leisurely, al fresco lunch in the sunshine to the accompaniment of a combine harvester working in the adjacent ﬁeld. Many thanks to Ian Rimmer and David Woodcock and their catering team for looking after us so well. The Club Show was held in August as usual in the splendid setting of Pollok Park. The weather was less than kind but did not deter the participants with 35 well presented animals forward. The judge was Stuart McKay and he found his Champion in a 2 year old heifer put forward by Catherine and Jim McKechnie and shown impeccably as always by Rich Thomson. Dexter Logan took Reserve with his cow and the Junior champion went to Andrew and Helen Kirkpatrick’s yearling heifer.

The Bunnet Brigade.

Following the show, the traditional BBQ went down very well with hungry competitors and other members. Thanks to Roddy McDougall for the provisions and Philip Tobias, Duncan and Susan Welsh for the cooking thereof. The event would not be possible without the goodwill of Glasgow City Council and the hard work of the Pollok Park team. This is fully appreciated by all who take part. West Club members participated widely at local and national shows throughout the season. Notable successes included Jim Ogston who took Champion female and Reserve Overall at the Royal Highland Show and Jim and Catherine McKechnie yearling heifer that was Junior Champion at the Glasgow Pollok Show in August.

The Highland Show is a major event for the West Club and for Stockman in general. The West Club barbecue on the Wednesday evening is becoming increasingly popular and is a good relaxation interlude before judging on the Thursday. Finally thanks go to the Ofﬁce Bearers, Committee and Members whose hard work and enthusiasm have ensured the continued success of the club. We are always keen to recruit new members, young or old to the West Club. If you are interested please contact Stephen, Catherine or myself. Contact details are in the blue pages of the journal.

Midlands & Southern Highland Cattle Club www.mshcc.co.uk We started our year in January with our A.G.M. held at Ullesthorpe Court in Leicestershire. Ofﬁcers of the club gave their reports to the meeting detailing the club’s activities for the past year and the accounts were presented for approval. The Committee for 2014 was elected as follows: Brenda Ayres was inaugurated as the year’s club President; Robert Tedbury was elected Chairman, Robert Wain as Vice Chair, Sandie Tedbury as Treasurer, Liz Gwynn as Secretary while we welcomed the return of Annie Perkins as a committee member this year.

them in this account if I could remember them so readers when you meet John do ask him to relate some of his stories to you. The day had started at coffee time so that there was time to look at a collection of photographs that Brenda Ayres had collected from previous events, my how young we all looked!! Brenda had a busy day as she also ran a rafﬂe which raised £110 for cancer research.

Cups for 2013 were presented by retiring President, John Monk to the following recipients: Large Fold: Sandie Tedbury-Hardham Highlands Medium Fold: Tracey Noy-Oakwood Fold, runner-up Lindsey Trees Small Fold: Robert Wain-Rose Fold Novice newcomer: William Perkins Newsletter caption: Tracey Noy Before Robert Tedbury adjourned the meeting for lunch, the rafﬂe was drawn and an auction took place which raised £347.00 for club funds. The A.G.M. went very well with much laughter and good food with an opportunity to discuss important issues and maintain contact with old friends. A change of direction for our spring meeting was the decision to hold a lunch for past, present and future members at Arrow Mill, Alcester. Of course, roast beef was on the menu followed by a delicious chocolate pudding all prepared by chef/ proprietor, Simon Woodhams. Then it was time to settle back and enjoy a very amusing session of jokes and stories from our past president, John Monk, of course all farming related. I would repeat

Charlie MacLean receives award from President of Midlands and Southern Highland Cattle Club, Brenda Ayres with judge Robin Chilton looking on.

Members have been busy showing this year and we were delighted to be able to hold our club show in conjunction with the Royal Berkshire at Newbury. A good number of cattle were shown and we were delighted that Hazel was able to make the long journey from Scotland to be in attendance and assist Robin Chilton, the judge for the day. The President’s cup was awarded to Mortimer’s Farm (Charlie MacLean) from Eastleigh in Hampshire while the Jim Ayres Cup was awarded to Mrs. Marlene Brunt from Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.

Brenda presents the Jim Ayres Cup to Jenny Morse, showing the reserve champion on behalf of Marlene Brunt.

Following the success of this year’s collaboration with Newbury we are pleased to report that next year the club show will be held in conjunction with Royal Norfolk Show. On a late September day the club visited the Kelby Fold in Lincolnshire by kind permission of Mr.T.P.Radford and arranged by Daniel Rowbottom. We were driven around the farm to see the cattle and a ﬂock of Lleyn sheep before meandering back to the farmyard to enjoy a hearty lunchtime barbecue followed by ice-cream from the Ringwood Fold. After lunch we judged cattle and watched a foot trimming demonstration by

29 Yorkshire Foot Trimming Service. During the day Brenda had been running a rafﬂe with a total of £75 being collected for the Lincolnshire Air Ambulance. We are pleased to report that our club website, which we want to be interactive and a useful tool for anyone interested in highlands is still updated by Jennie Growcott and we thank her for all her hard work especially as this year she got married. So many congratulations go to Jennie and her new husband. Our thanks also go to Bethan Dalby who along with her father Brian took on the task of assembling and sending out our newsletter and also to Fiona Cox who produced a new logo for the club. This was used on a small range of new merchandise for the club put together by Fiona. We look forward to 2015 with another lunch planned at Arrow Mill, our club show which will run in conjunction with the Royal Norfolk Show at the beginning of July and a fold visit to the Chater Fold in Rutland organised for September. Finally thanks must go to all the ofﬁce holders and committee members for their hard work and support over the last year and also to all members without whom there would not be a club. If you would like to join MSHCC please do get in touch via our website or contact the club secretary, Elizabeth Gwynn via kingsmill@ talktalk.net or tel.019897 50233.

“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.

Declaration I hereby declare that I have read, understood and agree to abide by the rules governing the use of the “Guaranteed Pure Highland Beef” trade mark and the “Guaranteed Pure Highland Beef” device.

HIGHLAND BREEDERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JOURNAL

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;bullingâ&#x20AC;?) will be that her vulva is moist and sticky, and there may be a slight â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cow being mounted from behind is in season, if mounting from the front the one mounting is in seasonâ&#x20AC;?. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go overâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;birthdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnancy are: r 3FDPSE UIF DBMWJOH EBUF 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. r $POUSPM UIF DPX T GFFEJOH 4FF BCPWF r .BJOUBJO UIF DPX T IFBMUI Monitor cow health closely, ideally following a Fold Health Programme (see 5 above). If in any doubt whatsoever, consult your veterinary surgeon. r *G B DPX BCPSUT 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go soloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;bagging upâ&#x20AC;?). 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 (â&#x20AC;&#x153;droppingâ&#x20AC;?), 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;first water bagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, 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?

r "MUIPVHI FWFSZ CSFFEFS JT FOUJUMFE UP OBNF JO BOZ XBZ IF 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.

r *U JT JNQPSUBOU UP CF BCMF UP GPMMPX UIF GFNBMF MJOF TP JU is useful to follow a naming system which will assist this. Briefly, a heifer calf will take on its own motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, together with the Fold name. if the mother was bred in the same Fold, the daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. r )JHIMBOE DBUUMF BSF DMBTTJĹłFE VOEFS UIF GPMMPXJOH DPMPVST 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;restâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; company whilst getting used to life on their own. NB They do not all have to be exactly the same age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e. approximately a week after separation. You can dispose of them in one of several ways: r "U B )JHIMBOE $BUUMF 4PDJFUZ SFDPHOJTFE 4BMF /# 5IF BOJNBMT will need to be halter-trained and used to grooming. r 1SJWBUFMZ CZ QVUUJOH BO BEWFSUJTFNFOU JO B OFXTQBQFS such as the Farmers Guardian, Farmers Weekly or Scottish Farmer, or your local newspaper. r #Z QVUUJOH BO BEWFSUJTFNFOU JO UIF )JHIMBOE $BUUMF 4PDJFUZ 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.

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL

Importing Highland Cattle to Switzerland - 100% adventure!!! I was asked to write some facts about importing Highlanders to Switzerland – I gladly do this, you won’t believe what we were going through..... I did it four times – helping Swiss breeders to import Highland Cattle from Scotland to Switzerland. Did it become easier? Make your own choice: No. 1: 35 cattle After one year of working as the breed secretary of the Swiss Highland Cattle Society, I was asked by 3 Swiss breeders to look for 30 – 40 cattle to import to our Alpine regions. Therefore I picked the occasion to buy some animals for our own fold too (this was no intention, but love on first sight with our present stock bull Calum of Cnoc-Na-Sith, who is still my „pet“, a very calm and peaceful animal whom people could ride – of course I don’t, it’s a bull, not a horse). His offspring is doing very well, sold over whole Switzerland - they learn German, French, Italian and „Rumantsch“, our 4th national language (spoken by about 30’000 people, a bit like the Gaelic in Scotland) now - , with very good calm character and strong and hardy nature. Prionnsa Odhar of Cnoc-Na-Sith, one of his sons, was rated with an „excellent“ at the Swiss bull assessment. 11 hours on the border.... With the help of Vianco company, I started the import adventure – not knowing what I would be going through, for, as you know, Switzerland is not a member of the European Union: a fact that some office people let us know with sheer pleasure. Let me spot the French border people: It is the 18th July 2011, driver Bart and I stand at 5am on the border Basel - St.Louis and try to get the permission to drive 35 animals (after a 3-days-trip) into Switzerland. But – no way. The EORI number is missing! What number?!? It took us 11, my friends, ELEVEN hours to get this number, over offices in Glasgow-EdinburghMull-Annan to get one number to drive a lorry full of waiting cattle on to green pastures, to

water, to shelter from the burning July sun....... Meanwhile, after lunch time, the restaurant was closed, so it wasn’t only the animals who suffered...! Every 10 minutes Bart and I would get into the lorry and look after the animals, but lorries for international transport are very well equipped, with constant water and fans, so that the cattle didn’t suffer too much. WE did, without water from 2pm until 9pm.....The cattle were lying, chewing, chilling – and Bart couldn’t believe this: he drove Highlanders for the first time, so he said: „Don’t try this with another beef breed, they would drive crazy!“ He was able to unload and reload all the 35 animals on his own, a fact that surprised him a lot. 5 minutes before the French-Swiss border was closed, we got the YES and drove on.... no way to drive on to Ticino (the Italian speaking part of Switzerland), for lorries are not allowed to drive later than 10pm on our roads. So we unloaded all the 35 cattle, they spent the night in our shed, next morning we drove on to Avegno and unloaded them finally. Stress symptoms? Shocks? Suffering? No way, all the animals got off the truck and started to graze peacefully – a point more to choose Highlanders and only Highlanders! Becoming an expert..... The imports no 2 (44 cattle) no 3 (3 bulls) and 4 (3 heifers) were „peanuts“ compared to the first one: meanwhile we know exactly what it needs, and I do the French-Swiss border thing within one hour, running from the French to the Swiss office, get the stamps, running back to the French one, verifying it, go back to the Swiss, verify the verified paper etc.... How can you help? So, Scottish people, what can you do to help us for importing cattle? First of all: when I see Scandinavian, Italian or German breeders buying whole groups of animals in Oban, I am very impressed by the organisation of them: they buy

30 or more animals, get them into the waiting lorry, quarantine them, do the blood tests, go. But as long as there are only a handful of Swiss who dare to do all the paperwork, pay the costs (which can be 2 or 3 times of the animals’ price, see list below), do the organisation for an import, we are miles away from a „group sale“ like other countries. In Switzerland there are about 10’000 Highlanders, the first ones flew in the early Nineties with Swissair airplanes from Scotland, Canada, Denmark to our country, starting a real success story that is still lasting so that the Swiss Highland Cattle Society can celebrate their 20th anniversary this year! This makes us very proud, we will celebrate this with special events (see our website www.highlandcattle.ch) and breed on, improve our breeds constantly - and the one or the other breeder might throw an eye on other countries, import from Germany, from Austria, from Scotland. But this will never happen in large dimensions as other countries, there will always be only a handful of breeders risking it. And, of course, there is always the language barrier, because if you can’t deal with the breeders on your own, you don’t do it. Or ask somebody who can do it for you, which isn’t everybody’s favourite thing to do. (And don’t forget: the fact that somebody speaks English doesn’t mean that he can deal with Scottish people. I have always been very proud of my language skills, I worked with Canadians, Americans, English, Arabians – but when I spoke the first time to a Glaswegian bus driver – goodness, I thought I was in China!!! Scottish from English is so far away as Swiss German is from German or Dutch). It is important to get fresh bloodlines from time to time, but I don’t think that the Swiss will ever transport cattle lorrywise into our country. But: I am always very happy to help our breeders to import cattle, not only because of travelling around in my second home country, talk to breeders in the North, East and especially and preferably on my beloved Western Isles, visit the Oban show, have dinner and ceilidh, a dram with old and new friends..... it’s hard work, of course, choosing cattle in Scotland! So be prepared: • make sure you don’t only comb the hair apart on the animals’ body when doing the blood test, but CUT it, a minimum square of 10x10cm must be shaved and seen when they

get into Switzerland! • do IBR/BVD/TB tests properly (and use the prescribed vaccine!) • ﬁll in all the details on the documents legibly • weigh your animals, we have to pay customs payment per kg (AND an importing permit ca. SFR. 400–900 (ca. £600-1’500) per animal AND 10% of the animals’price have to be paid as an import fee) • there are the costs oft he blood tests as well, and don’t forget the haulage... • get an export number (a number which entitles you to be the exporter outside the EU) • and, please, get an EORI number..... For I will certainly be back, someday, to offer some Scottish beauties a new home in the High Alpine zones of our beautiful country. I can’t wait for the day! Mara Simonetta, import enthusiast from Switzerland

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL

Where The Buffalo Used A couple of years ago, as a result of my participation in the Internet’s annual “Virtual Highland Cattle Show”, I started an email correspondence with a young highland breeder from the States. For some time we just exchanged news and cattle-breeding related gossip from both sides of the pond until, at the beginning of 2014, Skyler Anderson threw open an invitation – Wouldn’t I like to come across and check out the local cattle folds for myself? Generally, North American cattle breeding brings to my mind images of enormous herds, efficiency and feedlots... I was definitely curious to know how Highland cattle would fit in to this big, wide world. So I flew to Chicago at the end of July and started out on my long journey squeezed into a small 5 seat van along with four American breeders in their thirties. My companions were from Pennsylvania, Washington and Michigan, and were heading west to see folds that were as new to them as they were to me. We were travelling on an extremely tight budget – tightly packed into the back of the van were cool-boxes, a tent, sleeping bags, fishing rods and boots... we drove on, well into the night, so that we would have time to see as much as possible when daylight came... We visited a variety of extremely different folds, starting out with Skyler’s own Skye High

Farm, where a small, select, group of stout-framed females produced prized offspring, destined both for breeding and for the show rings. Along our journey we also met with a retired doctor who was whiling away his time playing the violin and looking after his small herd with attentiveness and love. Then, at the other extreme of the breeder’s scale, we visited the bleak hills of Montana and the Canadian prairie, areas where grazing is really hard work for the animals, and where large herds are raised under tight economic conditions, by utilising marginal land. It surprised me to see just how much, we Highland breeders seem to have in common all the world over. Irrespective of place of residence and the extent or efficiency of production, everyone I met seemed to have developed their first taste and enthusiasm for this breed as a result of the animals’ charming physical appearance and suitability to a natural, organic lifestyle. After their initial euphoria, each breeder had shaped their production methods to be suitable for the needs of their own fold - and here we really saw how variegated are the farming methods and environments to which these magnificent creatures can adapt. I also noticed many similarities with my homeland in the field of meat marketing: the

To Roam... smallest folds sell their excess male calves on to other folds to be reared, but the majority of breeders that I met raised the young bulls themselves until they were fit for slaughter, and then sold the meat straight to consumers who are interested in organic methods, fair treatment of animals, low levels of medication and a natural, grass-rich diet. Which is exactly the same customer base that we sell to here in Finland. Whilst there are those who care about these factors, it is still a fact that cheap burgers, not considering the quality of their ingredients, are consumed in huge quantities on both sides of the pond! The problems associated with selling meat are familiar too: Large meat producers do not buy Highland beef, or will only buy at a fraction of the price per kilo that Angus carcasses would fetch. But what then, of the differences? Turnover for breeders was much faster than here in Finland: Breeding bulls were bought and sold regularly, and artificial insemination and embryo transfer are a commonplace. In Canada, we visited Mrs Barbara Proudfoot’s Highland Heritage fold, of whose 97 breeding cows, 55 were this year inseminated using seven European AI bulls. Barbara sighed that nowadays she was unable to find semen for artificial insemination which would present her with brand

99 new bloodlines. Collecting semen for storage is also an everyday event, even for small folds: If a fold is successful in raising a good breeding bull for sale, it is normal practice for the breeder to take a few samples of semen for his own stores, before sending the animal on to its new owner.

Highland Heritage proved to be, in many respects, an extremely interesting place to visit. Thankfully it had rained the previous night, or we would not have been able drive to see the other pastures. (In hot weather it takes very little to ignite prairie ﬁres, and a car’s hot engine is too great a risk.) Now our ride was generously sized Dodge Ram pick-up, that had been ﬁtted out for the purpose by lifting park benches onto the cargo bed, and we got to check out the animals in style!

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL

Another fold which makes use of marginal land was Mike and Pam Mowers’ Flathead Farm in Montana. Mike had made a career as an oil field engineer and, upon settling down in the Kalispell area, had acquired some Highland cattle. His fold at the present time houses some 50 breeding females. He described the size of his fold as “a couple thousand acres”, of which around 640 acres was pasture land. For feed they grew hay and alfalfa with the addition of minerals and selenium. Mike’s aspiration was that, just by grazing and winter hay feeding, the bulls should be able to reach a live weight of 1000 pounds in a year and at the time of being presented for slaughter (18 months on pasture and hay, followed by 3 months of grain feeding), the carcass should weigh around 900 pounds. If the Canadian prairies had called to mind old, dry, lifeless hay, then Montana’s pastures were more reminiscent of desert land. And yet again, the cows amazed me with their relatively good condition, and the calves seemed to be thriving. Mike also told me that he had tried giving the calves extra nutrition with the help of calf feeders but had given up on the idea, upon finding that he achieved almost as good results by using the above mentioned feeding plan alone. The grazing area was huge! Completely open prairie as far as the eye can see. The sun was blazing hot and the wind rustled in the dry, pale prairie grass as the crickets chirruped... but we saw no sign of any cattle. We drove around for a long time, over 6 square miles of grazing land before we finally found groups of the animals, gathered in hollows previously hidden from us by the gentle undulation of the land. These depressions held small ponds where the animals would go to drink. There was no shade or shelter from the elements to be seen. In winter, the animals would be driven to small pastures closer to the farm buildings, where drinking water and feed would be easier to arrange. The winter feeding season lasts from the end of October to the beginning of May, and the temperatures can often drop as low as 20 to 35 degrees below zero, and stay that low for long periods at a time. Prairie hay seemed to me completely dead and dry, but Barbara told me that it is actually quite nutritious and high in protein. This fact was borne out by the health and general good condition of the animals. Prairie grass is , as a rule, these animals’ only source of food – only bulls headed for the slaughterhouse would be given stronger feed, such as a mixture of oats and hay, for a period of 1-2 months prior to slaughter.

The passion of my young colleagues made a deep impression on me. In two weeks and over 5000 miles, I received many questions about European Highland breeding and I heard many interesting stories from their own experiences of working with animals. Shows and youth work seemed to be extremely important to them all – in particular I was ﬁlled with admiration at just how much effort is put into the inspiration of youth as a part of breeding work in the US. Cattle breeding is long term work so it is wonderful to be able to pass on ones own work to the next generation.

And as for those buffalo... well we did see a few in Yellowstone, but otherwise it seems that the Highlands have taken over their niche to some extent, and have planted their own sturdy hoofprints ﬁrmly on the face North American beef production. Riikka Palonen Brunnila Fold, Finland Here are some of the destinations we visited, so you can visit them yourself: When he planned our journey, Skyler had also taken into account my love of nature, so that along the way were such breathtaking sights of natural beauty - everything from backyard hummingbird watching, to the most spectacular views when crossing the Rocky Mountains. Thanks Sky! Thanks also to all those folds that we visited and warm greetings to my very excellent travel companions.

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL

Cattle health testing & vaccination The Highland Cattle Society has been at the forefront of encouraging herd health testing and has held disease accredited sales for a number of years where sellers are required to provide proof of health status. What does herd accreditation mean and what benefits does it give? Is vaccination allowed in accredited herds? The aim of this article is to address these and other questions that frequently arise. CHeCS Cattle Health Certification Standards (UK), known as CHeCS, is the regulatory body for cattle health schemes in the UK. CHeCS programmes cover the monitoring, control and eradication of 5 diseases, BVD, IBR, Johne’s disease, leptospirosis and neosporosis. Certificates of health status are provided for herds participating in a scheme when they meet agreed national standards. The diseases differ considerably in the way infection is spread, the effect the disease has, the level of assurance of freedom from disease that testing can give, and the risk of introducing disease when buying in cattle. Biosecurity Testing forms the basis of CHeCS accreditation; however good biosecurity is an integral part of the programmes to ensure that herd health is not compromised. Biosecurity measures aimed at keeping disease out of the herd are focused on the introduction of new animals and the risk from neighbouring cattle. Added animals pose a significant risk and unless they come directly from an accredited source; it is important that animals are isolated and tested appropriately

before introducing to the herd. Contact with non-accredited cattle across a boundary must be avoided for diseases where infection is readily spread by nose-to-nose contact (BVD & IBR), although vaccination against BVD is an acceptable substitute for physical biosecurity where contact with neighbouring cattle cannot be avoided. Herd Accreditation It is good practice to know the health status of your herd, and to aim to eliminate disease when it is present as this will increase herd productivity and profitability. Herd accreditation, however, involves financial outlay and should be balanced against the benefit gained from selling accredited stock. ‘Elite’ accredited herds are accredited free of BVD, IBR and leptospirosis and have attained risk level 1 status for Johne’s disease. For BVD, IBR and leptospirosis, testing an individual animal prior to sale gives reasonable assurance of that animal’s status. This is not true for Johne’s disease, as infected animals may remain undetectable for years, and the herd status is required as an indicator of the likelihood of an animal for sale being infected. Only cattle from BVD and IBR accredited herds or that have been individually tested clear of these diseases can attend a Highland Cattle Society show or sale. BVD Herd accreditation for BVD is the easiest to justify economically as the disease causes significant losses if it is present within a herd, yet once infection is eliminated, only a small amount of testing is required to attain and maintain accreditation. Vaccination of breeding animals

against BVD is allowed in accredited herds and does not interfere with accreditation because the annual screening test is carried out on young stock, prior to vaccination. BVD vaccination is recommended for animals going off the farm, in case they meet infection elsewhere. IBR Many highland herds are accredited free of IBR as the requirement for disease free cattle at society sales has been in place for a number of years. Once an animal has met IBR infection, it remains infected for life. Only marker vaccines should be used for IBR as this allows infected animals to be differentiated from vaccinated animals, however marker vaccination is not permitted in animals for export or semen production within the EU. Testing towards accreditation for IBR requires whole herd testing, but once accredited, testing of a statistical sample is sufﬁcient to maintain assurance of freedom from infection. Leptospirosis As animals can harbour the leptospira bacteria after infection, animals with antibodies are not allowed in accredited herds. There is no marker vaccine for leptospira; if an accredited herd vaccinates, it will lose accreditation, however a ‘leptospirosis monitored free’ (LMF) category has been introduced to the CHeCS programme. LMF herds can have a small proportion of animals with antibodies to leptospira in the herd (<5%) and this status can be useful for herds that have purchased a vaccinated bull. Johne’s disease Due to the nature of the disease, the testing for herds participating in the CHeCS Johne’s scheme is the most onerous of all the disease programmes, yet it is only repeated whole herd testing that gives

meaningful information on the status of the herd. Consequently, testing of all animals of 2 years and over is required annually. Herds are given a Johne’s risk level status based on test results and the number of reactors identiﬁed in the herd. Vaccination against Johne’s is rarely used because it does not eliminate infection and interferes with the herd screen. Neospora Neospora has recently been introduced to the CHeCS programme. The programme requires animals to be tested in the period just prior to calving as this is when infected animals are more likely to be detected. To pursue accreditation, positive animals need to be removed from the herd because they are infected and will pass infection on to their offspring. Maintaining disease-free cattle improves herd performance and produces animals for sale of high health status. For some diseases individual testing is sufﬁcient to be able to determine an animal’s status prior to sale, however herd accreditation is a valuable way of demonstrating status to purchasers.

Junior Member Emily Armstrong I started to become interested in Highland cattle when I got my own Highlander calf for Christmas 2013. I started to go out to see the calf every morning before I went to school and again after school. I really enjoyed brushing her and training her on the halter. I enjoy getting to know the cows that we have and helping my Dad keep our fold healthy. I like to get the cattle ready for the show by washing them, brushing and blow-drying them. At the show, I enjoy getting to know the other exhibitors and getting ideas from them. When I was at the Show in February, I was extremely happy when I got a 1st prize in the class. Then when I got overall Champion for the Yearling Heifer, I was delighted! When our calves get sold I get quite sad, but I know that they are going to a good home, and they will be well looked after.

At the show next year, I would like to lead a calf around the show ring without my Dad having to be in with me. Emily Armstrong, from Tiree, Age 9

Breeding & Feeding Quality Duncan Buchanan and his wife Elaine run 584 acres at Shenavallie farm on the Argyllshire coast, 10 miles north of Oban. The farm supports a ﬂock of around 200 North Country Cheviot ewes alongside 30 commercial sucklers and a fold of 30 pedigree Highland cows. Shenavallie itself is a coastal farm, which makes it ideal for outwintering stock. Highland cattle grazing on the beach are a popular theme in the photographs of visitors to the on-farm B&B! Hill-ground, for cattle grazing is taken each year on Loch Etive side from May until December. Duncan tells us a bit more about the Shenavallie cattle and how quality feeding is one of his secrets for success: “The blood-lines of the Highland Cattle fold at Shenavallie are amongst the oldest in the herd book. I can trace the lines right back to a fold owned by my Great Grandfather, himself a Duncan Buchanan.” “We have had some success in breeding and showing cattle over the years, which we are proud of.” “But our emphasis is not just on breeding pure highlanders. We also value the Highlander cross cow in our commercial herd.” “Our strategy now is to breed heifers and around a dozen cows each year pure, with the remainder going to a continental sire.” “Previously we used a Simmental, but we have now switched to a Blonde. I believe the Blonde is an ideal sire to put to the Highlander as the resulting calves have a bit

of shape about them but the heifers should still maintain the easy calving and maternal traits of the Highlander.” “The cattle year at Shenavallie gets underway when the Highland cows start calving in February and March.” “We keep the Highland cows and calves at home for a few months before they go off to the hill. None of the highlanders receive any hard feed until the calves are speaned in October. At speaning the calves are housed for a few days to get them used to hard feed and then out-wintered on silage and 2kg/day of Monarch nuts from Davidsons Animal Feeds. “The commercial cows are fed in the run-up to calving and then through until I know they have all been bulled again. We use a Charollais bull on the commercial cows.” “We creep feed the calves from 3 months onwards and feed them on Davidsons until we sell them store at 9-10 months.” “Last year we won the calf champion at the September calf sale at Oban Mart.” “To produce and sell store cattle with good growth and a good cover of ﬂesh we use the Highlander as the best foundation. It is then a matter of good stockmanship and good quality feed.” “We certainly get good consistent quality from Davidsons, the price is right and I am delighted with their service – when they say the lorry will deliver, it delivers!

HIGHLAND BREEDERS’ JOURNAL

It’s What Suits You If you believe in yourself and the system you operate, have dedication and pride - and never quit, you will achieve your goals. Many beef producers question whether that the system they have is correct and wonder if they should change it. To often quick decisions are made thinking the grass is greener on the other side but it just leads to us chasing the wheel but never actually getting to where we want to be. As once said to me, “if you buy store lambs and they do not do well with you for 2 or 3 years, then the year you come out of them will be a great year for them”. If we can just tighten the screws on our system then our turn of the wheel going round will come. Today we need to have the right cow for the environment yet still have the correct calf (product) for the market place. Often we have it all on our farms it just needs tweaked. For years enterprise costings were carried out where producers could benchmark themselves and compare themselves to others from the top third down to the bottom third with Net Margin. Direct subsidies were always in the costing so including Suckler Cow Premium, Beef Special Premiums, Slaughter Premium and Extensification etc. which had a major impact on profitability with most showing good positive margins. When farmers looked more into the results some remarked that there was little incentive for them to always attempt to move from the bottom third up as there was little difference between top and bottom due to the massive effect direct subsidies had on the costings. Numbers reared and price received might have varied but it did not have any where near the impact of subsidies. Then when direct subsidies were removed out and so not included in the costing there was immediate reaction as farmers could see that without support many beef farmers were not making any profit. Now the thinking was changing amongst some More attention turned to being more productive and so numbers reared, what was demanded in the market place and better management of costs became more scrutinized. Sometimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change things forever An area that became a concern was in the levels of fixed costs that each suckler cow producer was carrying and it varied often from £200 to £550 per cow.

But why were some of those with lower ﬁxed and variable costs, also managing to maintain good levels of output. Many thought that it would be the large scale arable orientated regions which were returning positive margins. No wehre the big impact came from was those more extensive, upland hill areas that had scale and scope to keep their costs down by keeping cows out for longer with deferred grazing, hard hill areas etc. They also made sure that the cow they used was able to maintain itself through the winter and early spring. The right cow was being matched to the environment and climate. Some of those upland areas were recently seen to have moved to a more maternal type cow with breeds such as Luing, Stabiliser, Saler, Shorthorn etc. etc. (Cannot name them all ???). Today changes continue with many rethinking their breeding strategy who just want a hardier type cow. These breeds and crosses were also still able to produce the calf for the market place due to ability to have more terminal type bulls put to them. However there were still breeds which have been always been outwintered and kept in often the more poorer vegetative, wet, high and remote ground for many years that really until recently were not always fully reconsidered. The native breeds and crosses included in this situation include Highland, Galloway, Blue Grey etc. etc. who have been for some time keeping costs down but were also seeking ways to maximise their output from their end product. There can be no doubt that these breeds can score in terms of being able • • • • • • •

to hold their condition outside even in very exposed conditions , show tremendous fertility lower feed costs look after their calf well good efﬁciency due to low mature weight yet good calf weaning weights less management time ability to produce good healthy breeding females

With lower costs and good levels of productivity these breeding strategies were showing positive

net margins in a number of farms costing their enterprsies.. Today with the market place being the main place for revenue of the suckler herd along with some calf payments it has been seen that many have moved to also put sires to these bulls to maximise output and make sure that their calf will be wanted. Recent work has shown that maximising output while keeping costs down have given positive margins for some native breeds. Where it was going wrong in some commercial units was to often just continue down the pure route with these breeds but operated in a commercial market. The product then did not have the same market potential as those crossing them which resulted in a more demand types. Examples are seen now with a number utilising the attributes of the native breeds but crossing them with others such as Beef Shorthorns, Whitebred Shorthorn and Simmental to still keep the native ability but producing calves wanted in the market place. Example 1 – Highland Cows crossed to Whitebred Shorthorn Bulls. Females much in demand but also males more desired in the market place. Example 2 - Galloway Cows to the Whitebred Shorthorn Bull for BlueGreys which are increasing demand due to their attributes and then crossed to more terminal type bulls to then provide numbers reared and in demand calves while also being able to produce in demand male. It has been noticeable that over the last few years that those native breeds and others more suited for upland, hill and extensive areas have been holding on farm open days where now the numbers attending have dramatically increased. There is interest and a desire to see how theses systems can be incorporated into others farms. We need our herds to be proﬁtable.

It is not about fully changing, it’s often just about just seeing what small part can be taken on and adapted to. If the native breeds can still thrive in the extensive areas while also being crossed to provide calves suited for the market lace then it can only be a win, win situation. What else could go put into that rough type ground and be able to turn poor vegetation into protein that can be fed to the population? These breeds will also help industry achieve their environmental objectives while still making sure what is produced is wanted. Previous environmental schemes throughout the UK often did encourage certain native breeds where ﬁnancial payment was received with them onto certain ground but no emphasis was really placed on what product was actually produced. These areas will not be used for grain production. Native breeds were created for a reason and we have to admire them in how they can thrive, survive, milk and get in calf at low costs compared to others. Yes we can all go to the market place and admire other types which top the market but we have to remember it is not down to the individuals sold from each farm but the total kilos sold per cow put to the bull and the cost to get there. Just because your neighbour got less per beast does not mean less proﬁt, he may have sold more calves and less costs. Have to watch how you view success... A dead calf at home brings in no revenue. Maybe the wheel is coming round with those breeds becoming popular again as they were some time ago as we have to adapt. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Gavin Hill, SAC

Opportunity to Export to Finland For over 20 years, highland cattle have been grazing in the Finnish woodlands and roaming by the shores of our thousands of lakes. The first individuals arrived in 1994, but the real import boom started around the turn of the millennium when many cattle were brought to our land from Denmark, Sweden and Germany. The legacy of these first few cattle now stands at around 450 folds throughout Finland, and the number of breeders continues to grow at a steady rate. Last year alone, 30 new folds joined our national breeders organisation and our education program aimed at new breeders, arranged in January of this year, attracted over 50 participants. The original imported bloodlines have so effectively mixed over the past twenty years, that the search for suitable breeding bulls has become a huge challenge for many folds. New bloodlines are in constant demand. Finland has an extremely high reputation for animal health; Imports are scrutinised extremely closely and the importer is held personally and financially responsible to the Finnish state for the health of his imported goods. The country’s “healthy” status is an important factor in our economy, even if considering only trade with our closest neighbours, Russia. 25% of all our food exports are bound for Russia and live exports of dairy cattle are also a notable source of national income. In 2013 exports to our eastern neighbours of Ayshire Heifers alone numbered 1000 animals. Even a small health threat can carry the power to effectively and catastrophically shut down all our trade in live goods. In order to protect its health status the Finnish government has set in place national regulations for the testing of live imports. Individual testing of animals in quarantine is no longer considered enough. Longer term monitoring data from the fold of origin is required. Increases in transportation of people and animals, taken together with global warming have contributed to a constantly changing situation with regard to disease and health risks across Europe. For this reason import criteria may be updated and modified on an almost pershipment basis. At the present time, the bacteria standing in the spotlight, or perhaps more

correctly, under the microscope, is Mycoplasma Bovis. Taking all this into consideration – it is still desirable to purchase breeding animals from the breed’s homeland - and British breeders, naturally also want to sell their animals for export. We have, therefore, a common interest. Our dilemma lies in finding a way to swiftly produce documentation which will satisfy our government officials. At the International workshops, organised in conjunction with the Oban Show on 14.2.2015, we discussed the matter and I consulted before and after the meeting with officials in Finland. As a result of this liaison, we arrived at a possible solution, and a recommended course of action. In principle, Finnish health officials consider folds with “Elite Health Status” to be safe as exporters, but yearly changes in specific health risks bring modifications to the criteria. If an Elite fold wishes to present animals for export to Finland at the present time, it would be recommended, along with their next annual blood tests, to also take blood samples of at least 15 older animals (if possible, 4-5 years old) and test them for Mycoplasma bovis (serological test ELISA). This extra condition, in addition to all normal routine testing, should be sufficient for our purposes. Because of the extra restrictions, we Finns are unable at the present time to purchase animals by auction. Private sale and (for the aforementioned reasons of maintaining health status) private quarantine at the originating fold are our only possibilities for trading in animals. If your fold has Elite health status, and you would be prepared to consider testing for Mycoplasma Bovis, I for one would be extremely interested in hearing from you. If we are able to find any folds who would be interested in this level of cooperation, we can start planning our next shopping spree at once. I am always happy to provide more information about our country’s terms and conditions to any interested parties. Riikka Palonen Brunnila Fold, Finland e-mail riikka.p@korkeatammi.fi

Political Landscape - Land Reform CKD Galbraith, Scotland’s leading independent property consultancy, observes that owners and occupiers of land face considerable uncertainty as the Scottish Government prepares to progress its land reform legislation through the Scottish Parliament. Iain Russell, chairman of CKD Galbraith, said the Scottish Government appears intent on bringing forward an unprecedented range of proposals that will have far-reaching implications. He said: “The Scottish Government is set to progress a very substantial array of measures that will affect anyone with an interest in land to a different degree. It will be a challenge in particular for estate businesses to monitor every twist and turn in the parliamentary process and the uncertainty may well result in owners feeling they are caught up in something of a mystery tour. All of us in the land management sector will have to be alert to the potential consequences of the legislation and any reform, whether or not it is controversial, is likely to add additional complexity and bureaucracy to farming and sporting operations.” On a positive note, the Scottish Government has recently made a U-turn on plans to add sporting estates to the negative list under the new Common Agricultural Policy (Cap). Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, Richard Lochhead recently vowed to continue his mission to stop sporting estates from receiving subsidy support, but said due to European rules, they could not be added to the negative list at this time. Market conditions Market conditions for the residential property market have continued to improve since the Scottish referendum last year. John Bound of CKD Galbraith said: “During 2014, CKD Galbraith handled property in excess of £375million throughout the whole of Scotland. Prices achieved for all properties sold by the firm during 2014 were on average 1.54% over the asking price, highlighting the firm’s unrivalled local knowledge of the market and expertise in setting prudent valuations.” John continued: “The past quarter has proved to be busy and productive with buyer hesitancy around the referendum period later translating into a surge of activity and successful transactions. The momentum has continued throughout the first three months of 2015 and we expect the firm’s first quarter statistics to reflect this. Although the general election is likely to cause a slight slowdown in activity, we can say that 2015 looks set to be a promising year for the property sector.” Demand for Scottish farm land also remains strong and continues to be better value per acre than in other parts of the UK according to the latest RICS/RAU Rural Land Market Survey. The average UK price per acre during the final six

Iain Russell, Chairman, CKD Galbraith

months of 2014 was £10,067, a record high for 11 months in a row. Although Scottish land prices have grown steadily over recent years, it remains significantly cheaper to purchase farm land here at an average of just £4,375 per acre. This figure also reflects the fact that a broader range of land types have been offered for sale in Scotland. According to rural experts despite the uncertainty cause by the Scottish referendum and CAP reform, English buyers are now turning their attention to north of the border where good quality pasture land is at least 40% cheaper than the rest of the UK. Simon Brown of CKD Galbraith explains: “Demand will continue to hold prices up in Scotland and we remain optimistic and expect competitive bidding to continue. The firm has managed a number of successful sales resulting in English buyers sealing the deal. Farmers and those looking to invest from the South are aware of what excellent value Scottish farm land represents especially good arable land. “CKD Galbraith has been instructed and sold some 55 agricultural properties over the past year, totalling 11,950 acres of land. During the final quarter of 2014 the firm sold around 2500 acres of prime farmland to English buyers. “We are finding purchasers are coming from south of the border more frequently due to the short supply of agricultural land on the open market and the high price of land in both England and Wales. “English farmers are now taking a keen interest in Scottish units and are principally focussed on farms which can operate as stand-alone units with good infrastructure and fixed equipment. “Unlike the residential market, confidence in the Scottish farm market was not dented by the referendum in 2014 and we don’t envisage the implementation of CAP review or land reform will affect the stability of land prices over the next 12 months.”

Gerd Bedürftig 6th February 1949 - 23rd March 2015 The Highland Cattle Society has lost one of it’s greatest supporters, Gerd Bedürftig, who was a member for 30 years and the most regular and consistent overseas visitor at Oban Sales. Always bidding and very often buying, he was the catalyst who encouraged the “Regulars” from Germany to ﬂy over for Oban. He also brought many new breeders for their ﬁrst trip to Scotland which normally included visits to a few folds as well as the Oban Sales. The Regulars were normally accompanied by wives for the Autumn Sale but the Bull Sale in February was strictly men only (if they could get away with it!!) Even when they could not attend the Sale they were normally involved in some way. Members will remember a few years ago when Falko Steinberg bought the Champion Bull by phone from their hotel in Grenada egged on by Gerd who had got the Regulars (with wives!) out of bed at 4am for a Bull Sale Party!! Gerd’s highland cattle passion was Achnacloich and Saturday afternoons travelling to Oban (normally from Ledlanet) would always involve a stop there. He could not drive past Connel without jumping the fence to inspect the cattle and nothing would have kept him away from the Achnacloich Centenary Celebration; the entire Regular Team turned out (with wives!) for a truly memorable evening. It was not just Highland Cattle that drew Gerd to Scotland - he loved the Country and our heritage. The Family regularly came for holidays and one of his sons spent 2 successful years at Gordonstoun. Gerd was a real family man and he was never happier than with all of them around him at the Heise or their home on Sylt. His “Scottish Family”

Annie May 1944 - 2014 It is with great sadness that the Highland Cattle Club of Wales heard of the death just before Christmas of Annie May. She and Geoff Spawton founded the Club twenty or so years ago, providing a network for cattle owners and breeders to exchange experiences and offer support to each other. Through showing their animals at Builth, Annie and Geoff were instrumental in establishing Highland classes at the Royal Welsh Show, leading to the considerable presence the breed has there now. Annie was often the ﬁrst port of call for members who had a problem with their cattle, usually offering practical advice based on her and Geoff’s experience. If she could not answer a question immediately, she would ﬁnd out. Her sympathy and knowledge have been a huge

support to many breeders in Wales and elsewhere. She knew which members were best placed to help each other because she was constantly out showing and meeting them. Besides running their farm with Geoff, Annie also taught at Lampeter university after retiring she started lampeter youth theatre and stage school known as LYTss. Annie loved her gardening and enjoyed keeping her bees. Genuinely interested in people, Annie’s kindness and warmth meant that she was highly regarded and will be sorely missed by everyone she knew. Our love and support are extended to Geoff and the rest of the family at this difﬁcult time. Highland Cattle Club of Wales

Ewan Cameron Ormiston 7th April 1929 - 29th August 2014 (85 years) Cameron Ormiston sadly passed away peacefully in Raigmore Hospital Inverness on Friday the 29th August 2014 after a short illness. A ﬁt and active man all of his life he was still shifting ponies and going about his daily rounds only a few weeks before he died. Born in Banchor Farmhouse Newtonmore to Ewan and Elcie on the 7th April 1929, he claimed his prowess at shinty came about because his mother walked him through the goalposts on the The Eilan shinty pitch the night before he was born. After some time in Newtonmore school he then went on to be educated at Gordonstoun, something few people would have ever realised. A sportsman all of his life and one of the greatest all rounders in the Highlands, he not only played Shinty, even captaining the team, but was well known on the Highland Games circuit for competing in both the Light and Heavy events as well as running Hill Races and

Ewan Ormiston.

Wrestling. A unique diversity of talent seldom seen today. During his National Service he was a PT Instructor in the army and later on a very keen Clay Pigeon shot like his father, travelling all over Scotland to compete and meet good friends. The family were always associated with The Balavil Arms Hotel in Newtonmore where they helped start the ﬁrst ski school in Scotland in 1948 and of course they pioneered Pony Trekking Holidays in 1952, two years before anybody else, in association with the Scottish Council for Physical Recreation. Something that grew in to a huge industry through the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. His dad Ewan was also very well known for his Butchers and Game Dealing business that fed so many during WW2 because most game, especially venison, was not rationed. It is believed they had control of around 700,000 acres of deer forest at this time with teams of stalkers and ghillies, including Cameron himself, heading out from Newtonmore with lorry loads of deer ponies and people to remote estates from Cannich to

Islay to harvest this venison, before returning it to Newtonmore to be butchered and wrapped in hessian and put on the train to the cities and eventually Germany too after the war. His real passion however was his Highland Ponies, closely followed by Highland Cattle – traditions that his sons have all kept going today, having inherited his great eye for stock and an ability to work with all livestock. In his early years, along with his father, they had upwards of 300 ponies used for the deer and leased out to Highland estates too, these then became the basis of the pony trekking workforce. There is hardly a farm in Badenoch that Cameron and his father have not farmed at some point, but he is probably best known for his years at Strathmashie Estate at Laggan during the 1970’s and 1980’s, where is own sons learned their trade among the ponies and cattle and also the deer too.

His proudest moment in the horse world was when he won Reserve Champion overall of the show in the Fredricks Trophy at the Horse of the Year Show in London in 1966 with the stallion Glentromie Trooper. This was closely followed by another of his stallions Torrin of Croila winning the overall ridden mountain and moorland at Olympia in 2008 for the Stanford family. In latter years he lived at a new house “Mo Dhacaidh” (Gaelic for “My Home”), that he built at Croila Stables in the village, never retiring but still doing his daily rounds of all his animals even at 85 years old. He still attended all local shinty matches supporting his beloved Newtonmore and every week made time to go round and visit all his old friends (and some younger ones) just like his father had done before him. A true Highland Gentleman who meant so much to so many and who will not be forgotten for a long time to come. Mr R Ormiston

Susan Gibson 1957 - 2014 It would be no exaggeration to say that Highland Cattle were in Susan’s blood. Her father, Capt. David Bowser was president of the Highland Cattle Society 1970-71, while her mother Mrs Judy Bowser held the same position in 1960-61. Highlanders surrounded Susan amidst the hills of Perthshire throughout her childhood, the knowledge gained in her youth was to prove of great value when Susan along with her husband Michel Gibson, who himself took on the role of president of the Highland Cattle Society in 1986, decided in 1975 to establish their Highland fold at Edinvale near Dallas. From the outset both Susan and Mike became very much involved in promoting the Highland Breed. Throughout the nineteen eighty’s there was never an Highland event witch Susan did not play a major part, her speciality being the promotion and development of a market for Highland Beef. Every July along with her equally energetic partner the late Liz Fellowes they would attend the Great Yorkshire Show, manning the Highland Breed stand and selling out of Highland Beef long before the ﬁnal day, all of this did much to rejuvenate the interest in the Highland Breed in the North of England.

Susan’s selling skills were once again called on in 1989 when the Highland Cattle Society staged its largest ever promotional event during the ﬁrst Festival of Farming held in Hyde Park, the major attraction being the cookery demonstration and the Highland Beef counter manned throughout by Susan and her team. What one has to bare in mind is that during this time Susan and Mike were very busy developing their own butchery business, Macbeth’s of Forres and as Mike spent most of his time farming the development of this now highly successful business was left to Susan. Highland breeders everywhere, especially those involved in producing quality Highland Beef owe Susan a great deal, her energy, enthusiasm and drive help to popularise the Highland Breed taking it to new heights throughout the nineteen eighty’s and nineties. Susan epitomised the saying that behind every successful man there is usually to be found a very strong woman, this strength held her in great stead during her battle with cancer never allowing it for one minute to dim her love of life.

WH Black MBE 1927 - 2015 With the loss of Honorary Member Bill Black earlier this year the Highland Cattle Society not only lost one of its elder statesman and sage advisors but a great friend to many. A former pupil of Waid Academy, Anstruther and student of Agriculture at West of Scotland College, Auchencruive Bill was a great rugby player during his school days and his time at college but his dedication to a career in farming took over. Originally from Fife, Bill started his career at Mains of Gray near Dundee where his expertise in fruit and arable farming was honed before moving to Balboughty Home Farm to take up the management of Scone Estates large integrated arable and livestock farming operation. In addition to the policies and cropping farms near Scone Palace this included large sheep and cattle breeding enterprises in Little Glen Shee and the Sma’ Glen areas of Perthshire where cross highland shorthorn cattle and blackface sheep were used to breed quality lambs and calves for further finishing on the lowground unit where there were also a pedigree Jersey dairy herd, a Jacobs sheep flock and a pure Large White pig herd. On the arable side Bill was renowned as a grower of quality seed potatoes and malting barley. In the early days sugar beet and vining peas were also a big part of the rotation. An innovator and forward thinker Bill was always acutely aware of the need to stay in touch with modern techniques and this evident still when latterly in his career he became a member of the agronomy technology co-op Scottish Agronomy. While we know him through the Highland Cattle Society Bill should be remembered for his life time commitment to Scottish Agriculture and all that is good about it which he was awarded his MBE for. He was a respected and prominent NFUS member in Perthshire being area President and had he been free to do so could have progressed further up the national ladder easily. He also gave young folks the chance to prove themselves and offered help and advice freely as well as encouragement and the opportunity to develop under his leadership. As regards the Highland breed, when he arrived as Farm Manager to the Earl of Mansfield, under his tenure the Scone Palace Fold soon became very successful in the show ring. Part of that was due to his ability to employ the right people but also his keen eye for a “guid ane”. Scone Palace Fold was prominent in the show ring including Smithfield and

the Scottish National Fatstock shows. They were also at the sharp end of the earlier exports into Scandinavia and the Low Countries where blood lines can still be traced back to these cattle. The Laird of the time, himself a HCS Past President, was very supportive of the farming at Scone and took a keen interest in the Highland breed being keen to show his cattle off to world leaders and politicians who would visit Scone Palace. Bill was keen to encourage this and Lord Mansﬁeld accompanied him to Oban to buy a bull one year which he bid on personally. However the auctioneer knocked it down to “the chap sitting beside Bill Black”! Bill’s knowledge and expertise was in demand from many new and older breeders alike after his time at Scone. This included advising our Patron on breeding policy something which he was immensely proud to have been asked to do. He loved to be asked to judge cattle and Jacobs sheep and was still doing this until quite recently. Bill was an active Church of Scotland elder at both Scone New and Rattray Parish churches. A great family man Bill was very proud of his 3 children and loved to be with his grand children. Tragically Bill lost his wife Gladys unexpectedly at a time when they should have looked forward to so much life together. The strength of his faith, his family along with his many friends in farming helped him through that loss and his spirit and gentle but strong character kept him active all his days. He attended the Past Presidents lunch at Glamis Castle and was quite tickled to be the longest serving one there having been President forty years previously! David Soutar
