A Golden Future ?
I visited Gideon Lacey at Lane End, Marlow last week and was greatly impressed by the Elinor family where three generations are milking in the herd all of whom have calved again in November, the irony is that Beechgroves Elinor 12 (Re-Classified Ex 90),is a daughter of the bull that is said to have the worst fertility score in the breed and has just calved her eighth calf in under 8 years and has averaged over 8000, kgs per lactation.
Her daughter Elinor 13 (Re-classified Ex 90),whilst not quite as high yeilding is also just as regular a breeder now in her fifth lactation and both she and her dam have Yogibear sons at Beechgroves.
