2006 was a year of great learning for us, it was our first ever attempt at embryo transplants, and we are very pleased to say that whether it was beginners luck, female psychology or just lots of observation and pampering!!, we had what we consider to be some fantastic results.

September saw the birth of our Aberdeen Angus Calves, some with unique genetics to the UK, all from Canadian bloodlines four heifers, and one bull calf, all calved naturally, and have never looked back!
