Herd Competition
The Ashott Barton Herd won a magnificent silver wine cooler as its prize for Best Herd In Somerset. We were also placed third Nationally, in the medium Herds section.
This years offspring, grand children of Millennium are set fair to carry on our success. I feared that nothing would be the same again when Millennium died. I should have had more faith in his powerful genetic stamp and that of the beautiful cows bought in 2000.
Devon Cattle
Devon Cattle are the primary stock at Ashott Barton. We have a herd of around 40 breeding females and their followers.
