Strickley Dairy Shorthorns We regularly sell new calved heifers at the Shorthorn Society's sales, and as we are in Organic Conversion we are reducing our numbers, and have stock of all ages for sale. Here are a few recent photographs of cows from the milking herd, two days after turnout in April 2007. These are not posed pictures of show cattle, just a selection of snaps taken in the field. You are very welcome to come and see us and discuss the herd at any time. (details on the contacts page) Go to the Production page for lactation and progeny details (or click on the photographs) Apologies to Shorthorn breeders (and other farmers out there) if the wording on the captions sounds a bit non-technical. As "web mistress" I take full responsibility for the content. Please feel free to talk to James who can talk the right talk.
Please note - this page has become a bit out of date and we are currently creating a new version - with more up to date and better links and details |

2006
We took six new calved heifers and six yearlings to the
Shorthorn Society's Autumn Show and Sale at Chelford on Saturday 4th November.
We are now in Organic Conversion and are reducing our numbers, so this was an ideal opportunity to let buyers see some Strickley stock.
There was a very good trade and we were pleased to have Strickley Lily 6th placed as Reserve Champion.
We were even more pleased when she achieved the highest in-milk Shorthorn price!
