Baby Sprite is a sweet little heifer out of our 1st prize winning heifer in calf earlier this year, Margarita! We have high hopes for Sprite, in the coming years. She has 23years of my breeding behind her- going back to my original cow and 1st homebred Champion bull! Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett

Good Moooorning from all of us at Firebeacon! This is Mystic, our oldest breeding female, she is 13.5yrs, has 1 tooth left and is due to calve her 12 calf any day! She was given to us by a very good friend over 10 years ago as a wedding gift! I love this little cow with all my heart, she has so much rib, depth, strong top line, walks well and so much character.

Today we scanned our early lambers, Maa's flock of coloured Ryelands and our few early charolais. We were lucky to have many helpers, and of course Dad got the best results 100% in lamb for him! Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett

Mr Wrinkles could have gone as a late store lamb as he has grown alot. But as voted by Rosie and William, they have decided to keep him as a pet until lambing season. They have reared, bottle fed and looked after Mr Wrinkles since he was born. Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett

Late last night Red calved unassisted her 2nd calf. Another whopper! A big bull calf with great character already, he has been galloping about today making the most of being inside the dry during the storm last night! Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett

That feeling you get when the lambs go the right way when moving them just before tea time! They have been moved into a fresh herbal ley for a week, we try to move them weekly to keep worms at bay, a good length of grass and to get them growing on! Marc Hamlett Amy Hamlett
