Hazel

The Hazel family was the last to be introduced to the Badlingham Herd. The first Badlingham Hazel was out of Dordale Hazel 30th and by the world famous Canadian sire Standard Lad 93J.

Badlingham Hazel 4th was Grand & Senior Female Champion at the National Hereford Show Tenbury in 1999 and Reserve Senior Female at Three Counties in 2000. Badlingham Hazel 13th was 1st in her class at both the Royal and Tenbury in 1999. In 2000 she was Horned Female of the Year having won the Grand Female Championship at Tenbury and Shropshire, along with 4 Supreme Championships at other shows. Badlingham Banter has been the most successful Hazel bull to date, winning the Junior & Reserve Grand Male Championship at Three Counties and Reserve Senior & Reserve Grand Male Championship at the Royal, both in 2003.

Our Hazel family

A well grown impressive young cow who we calved down at 2 years, rather than our usual 2 and a half.

A lovely Haven Hotspur daughter who is proving herself to be a great breeder, producing quality calves year on year. Her first calf Pulham Hazel 17th has been retained in the herd, who, due to her exceptional growth, calved down at 2 years of age. Her second calf, Pulham Hazel 19th was sold to Jame and Ellen Lake, Borovere Herefords. Her first bull calf, Pulham Admiral, was Supreme Champion at the National Hereford Show, Best Bull Calf in the Midlands and East Anglia Herd Competition and Horned Bull of the Year in 2023.

A beautiful cow and a great example of crossing a polled bull onto a horned female. “Hazel” is full of breed character and was Female Champion at both South Suffolk and Hadleigh Show in 2019. Her first calf, a heifer, was sold into a pedigree herd and her subsequent 2 calves, both bulls, have been sold for breeding. Pulham Archer, sired by Solpoll 1 Sympa found his new home not far away, at Benacre Estates in Suffolk.

Previous Hazel females

A really strong cow with plenty of width and volume. She does her calves very well, milking like her grandmother Badlingham Hazel 26th. She has produced two quality daughters, Pulham 1 Hazel 14th  who has been retained and Pulham Hazel 16th who has been sold to Benacre Herefords.

This Clipston Krespian daughter was the first animal we won a red rosette with at the National Hereford Show. Hazel 8th has been sold to Owen and Finley to start their new herd and her daughter Pulham Hazel 15th has been retained at Pulham.

Badlingham Hazel 26th was Philip’s pick of the two foundation Hazel heifers purchased from AG Wright & Sons. She has a tremendous bag of milk which shows in her calf every year. Badlingham Hazel 26th was judged the best cow suckling a calf in the 2013 Midlands and East Anglia Hereford Breeders’ Association Herd Competition.

Badlingham Hazel 25th was one of the foundation heifers purchased from AG Wright & Sons in 2007. Two Hazel’s were purchased as one was preferred by Philip and one by Laura. Badlingham Hazel 25th was Laura’s choice and is know in the herd as “Laura’s Hazel”. Her first calf, Pulham Hazel 1st, was the first home-bred heifer to be shown and her fifth calf, Pulham Hazel 8th, won our first ever red rosette at the National Hereford Show.

Every endeavour has been made to write correct family histories using the Hereford Cattle Society Breedplan Database, Hereford Cattle Society Herd Books, Hereford Cattle Society Breed Journal Articles, Results and Herd Adverts and the Vern Dispersal Catalogue 1966.
