Cotswold Sheep Society Newsletter Registered Charity No. 1013326 June 2012 Hampton Rise, 1 High Street, Meysey Hampton, Gloucestershire, GL7 5JW Tel.: 01285 851197 [email protected] www.cotswoldsheepsociety.co.uk Council Officers Chairman – Mr. Richard Mumford Vice-Chairman – Mr. Thomas Jackson Secretary - Mrs. Lucinda Foster Treasurer- Mrs. Lynne Parkes Council Members Mrs. M. Pursch, Mrs. C. Cunningham, The Hon. Mrs. A. Reid, Mr. R Leach, Mr. D. Cross, Mr. S. Parkes, Ms. D. Stanhope Editors John Flanders, The Hon. Mrs. Angela Reid Spring at Cwmcrwth Farm (Towy Flock) EDITORIAL John Flanders This edition of the Newsletter contains a number of reminders of events that Council have organised and members are encouraged to support them. Council, in preparing a programme for the year, endeavours to provide subjects that meet the interests of all members, but if there is no support the question has to be asked whether there is any point in having these events. On a lighter note, I am delighted that Rob and Fiona Park have written about their flock of Cotswolds; it is always good to have a few more breeders in Wales. They also produce bacon and pork from the Oxford Sandy and Black rare breed pigs and I can vouch how tasty it is (mail order is available I understand). Sadly, despite my request in the last Newsletter, no one else has come forward to join Judy and me in The View From Here; similarly having tried to have a Young Handlers Section no contributions have been forthcoming. This year Davina Stanhope, Richard Mumford and Robin Leach are standing down from Council and I am grateful for the work that they have all put in on behalf of the Society.

Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock have been an essential part of agriculture and our history as a nation. With the change of agriculture from a way of life to a successful industry, we are losing our agricultural roots. Although we descend from a nation of farmers, few of us can name more than a handful of livestock breeds that are important to our production of food and fiber.

Study Looking at the Breed of Dam of Calves Recorded with BCMS Web
EBLEX Report: Analysis of “Breed of Dam” for cattle recorded with BCMS 2003-2013 Samuel Boon, EBLEX, May 2014 (Version 1) Introduction The breed makeup of the nation’s suckler cows influences not just the beef produced and sold to consumers, but also the productivity and ultimately profitability of those farming systems in which cattle are born and reared. EBLEX asked the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) for a breakdown of the dams of calves recorded on the database on the basis of their breed. BCMS is part of the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) It is recognised that an analysis of this type of farmer derived data has some limitations. Where crossbreeding arises there is a tendency for the most valuable breed to be reported on the passport. This approach would favour the reporting of certain beef breeds – which may only account for 50% of the genetic makeup of the suckler cow. In the reporting of dairy breeds similar bias may arise. However, this is a large dataset and for the most part recording protocols have remained consistent over time so relative change over the last decade is still relevant to those interested in assessing which breeds and crosses are influencing the UK beef supply. Methodology BCMS data relates to passport applications received for live and dead animals born in Great Britain. Imported cattle are excluded from the data. Cows producing twins or calving twice within the year will be counted more than once. BCMS report 239 different breed codes. It is understood that these codes/breed types are determined by Breed Societies.
