This Bull has lately been residing in the field at the end of our garden. Apparently he was a champion of champions - he was gentle and friendly because he had been handled regularly. A week ago he twisted his back whilst serving a skittish cow. He hobbled around but became very lame and eventually sat down most of the time. The farmer fed and watered him and on hot days us neighbours watered him as well. It was a very humbling experience to watch a truly noble animal relying on us in his last days. Yesterday he was there and then suddenly not there. We miss him.

That is so sad. Poor bull, they are quite majestic in there own way.
Loved your blog. Many happy memories.
Would you check out the following, as I am going to link you to it.

The idea is that bloggers on this site send me an email to info AT ianwalthew.com and recommend their favourite farm blogs. I then link them, write to them, ask for their recommendations, and so it goes.
Kind regards,
Ian
P.S Saw your post on Kemble Air Day. I was staying in Oaksey for my sister's wedding and we had prime viewing of the test days.
