Ashott Barton

Today (June 20th 2010) we have started to mow the first of our hay fields. The weather looks like it will hold for a few days, so fingers crossed. Kevin Westcott, our local contractor is doing the work for us.

Tiny has just had her first calf in March 2010. She is proudly owned by Alec and Sharon Dalgleish. Her calf is a heifer and called snowdrop because she was born while the snowdrops where blooming.

Alec and Sharon are dedicated Dexter lovers, they already have Ashott Barton Rose and Mayberry, bought last April.

Ashott Barton Morgan is a well bred young bull we plan to take to the Devon Show and Sale in October. Morgan is the son Of Millennium and Woodrow Lillybet. He has inherited the very placid natures of both parents and their excellent conformation. Recent visits from expert old hands and their compliments suggests that we are not being barn blind and that Morgan does indeed have the essentials of well laid shoulders, strong well balanced legs and superb feet. We think excellent feet, good locomotion and rear end stability is essential in cattle but imperative in a bull. Morgan has all these attributes as well as length and general balance and he is the progeny of two animals that consistently produce offspring that grow well on grass at high altitude.

I will be sad to sell him. He is trusting biddable and is so easily managed
