What flavours are your avatars you two? RRB looks like a middle white, but I've never seen one with such long horns.

A Middle White......shoot, do my cattle look like pigs now!!!! It's a White Park (not a British White, completely different genetically). For more information see........... https://www.whitepark.org.uk/history.html I think Rob's will be a piccy of his new Dexter. Is that right Rob?

It is indeed, a Barrowgreen Dexter cow (our first dun) to replace one that some rustler picked up yesterday. (Also a good reason not to go to York).

Yeah. Thanks for telling me they were homing cows.

I'm sure they'll be back tomorrow.

Did you hear about the cowboy wearing a suit of paper who wandered into town and was arrested for rustling?

It's a good one to go to - the catalogue looks promising. I'll keep an eye out for the two Welsh boars if it doesn't conflict with anything in the cattle ring. You can't beat the vibrancy (and spectrum of characters!) of events like these...... C.
