Previous Starlet females

Solpoll 1 Starlet K15 is an Embryo Transfer out of Solpoll 1 Starlet C3, dam to Solpoll 1 Ferrari (sold to Genus) and Solpoll 1 Handsome (sold to NCBC AI Company).  K15 is sired by the $270,000 Remitall Super Duty 42S.  Her first calf, Pulham 1 Magnum, sired by Days Calibre G74, was sold to Rodney and Rose Westaway, Clipston Herefords.  Her second calf, Pulham 1 Starlet 5th, was much admired but unfortunately we lost her after her first calf.  Her third calf was Pulham 1 Remitall a cracking bull by Romany 1 Machine.  Remitall was Male and Reserve Breed Champion at Agri-Expo Borderway in 2018 and was sold to Martin Jenkins, Appleridge Herefords, at the Hereford Cattle Society Spring Show and Sale 2019, after been made Junior Male and Reserve Overall Male Champion.  She had another excellent calf in 2020, Pulham 1 Trilogy, who was also sold for breeding.  We flushed this cow in the hope of getting a heifer, unfortunately this didn’t happen however we have got 2 exciting bull calves on the ground. This cow is a breeder!
