CORNRIGGS POLLED HEREFORDS
In the Summer months the cows go to graze on the fell allotment at 500 meters where the views are wonderful and the grass is lush.
We usually calf outside and it is not unusual to find a calf that's born in the morning up, and running around soon after it has been born.
In 2003 we started our new herd - Our foundation stock came from the famous Romany Herd at Cow bog, Kelso.
With famous bulls such as Gleenlees Storm, Free Town Longfellow, Marathon and Maestro. Along with cows such as Mink, Dawn, Jane.Plumb
We were very fortunate to buy a stock bull from The Greenyards Herd. Greenyards Ajax' brother went on to win bull of the year in 2006 Greenyard Archie.
Greenyards Ajax was sold in the summer of 2009 and has gone to another herd in Northumberland,but we still have many calf's that he has sired.
Our new BULL arrived in December 2009 and we are pleased with him he seems to be kind natured same as Ajax and we have high hopes that he will be as good a sire as Ajax.
