Current Stock Bulls

We spotted this bull as a calf at Tullamore Show 2022 and purchased him in partnership with Norman Farming Partnership, Hickling Herefords. His first calf has been born at Hickling and his first calves will hit the ground at Pulham in Spring 2024, which will be followed by a full crop of calves in the Autumn 2024. We are excited to use this bull in our herd, who is full of breed character, is easy fleshing and correct. “Alfred” will be swapping over with Gurtaleen Inch Powerhouse in due course.

This Panmure 1 Henry son was a “lockdown” purchase and we weren’t disappointed when we first saw him in the flesh on his arrival at Pulham.

We purchased Machine from JRB Wilson and Sons as a weaned calf. Machine is sired by SMH Castro, a previous UK Hereford Sire of the Year and his Dam is a “Lucy” a highly successful family for Romany Herefords.

We first saw Haven Hotspur as a 4 month old calf on his mother, along with some other impressive Mawarra Vice Admiral sired calves at The Haven. Having kept a close eye on him, we purchased a half share in him from EL Lewis and Sons in the early part of 2012.
Hotspur won his class at the National Calf Show in 2011, along with being part of the winning group of 3 sired by the same sire. He also came 1st at Shropshire Show in 2012 and was 1st in the pairs at Three Counties, with Haven Dowager 169th, also sired by Mawarra Vice Admiral. In 2013 he was judged the best Junior Bull in the Midlands and East Anglia Hereford Breeders’ Association Herd Competition. Having been running with cows since the Spring, we pulled him out a week before the 2015 National Hereford Show and were delighted when he came 1st, was the Senior Male Champion and Reserve Male Champion. Having kept Hotspur for 5 years we sold him to the Gifford family, Twilight Herefords, Devon in 2017. Hotspur daughters are breeding well and this bull will have a big influence on our herd for years to come.
