Dowager

Our Dowager family came from the Haven, the oldest family run herd of Hereford cattle in the World.

Our Dowager family

Pulham Dowager 2nd had one show outing as a calf, winning her class at Newark Calf Show. She is a very milky cow with a fantastic EBV – she has great calving, weight and milk figures, with a Terminal Index and Self Replacing Index in the top 5% of the breed. Her first calf Pulham Saturn was exported to France and her second calf Pulham Dowager 7th was sold to Gwyndaf Davies. Her second heifer calf, Pulham Dowager 8th, was second and Reserve Junior Female Champion at the National Hereford Show, Tenbuy in 2023, along with being part of our winning pair and group of three.
