I have not hardly anything outdoors except stock checking – heard the forecast for next week but hope all is fly strike, head dermatitis (caused by thistle well for the Great Yorkshire. pricks I reckon, but easily treated with surgical swab type fluid from the chemists), wormy ends Since our last newsletter, members Jill and Paul etc. “Why do we bother?” I asked my better half have had their wedding and are presently after shearing. “I didn’t know you did!” she honeymooning in Canada. Congratulations and quickly quipped back. all the best for your futures. Anyway, looking forward to the next round of The only show I think that has braved the weather shows, if any are still likely to carry on, with was the Royal Norfolk.

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 Pat Quinn and Joe Henson discussing the finer points of……….? EDITORIAL It seems not very long ago when I penned the last editorial, but as they say time marches on and we are already into Autumn, certainly down here in Wales the trees have shed many of their leaves, in fact some began in early September. In this edition I am delighted that Joe Henson has agreed to update his 1998 article on the Bemborough Flock and in particular his work with the establishment to the RBST. It really is fascinating reading and although I have been a member of the Society since 1996 I have learnt a huge amount particularly as one of my rams comes from the RASE flock and Joe‟s article fills in a number of gaps in my knowledge. As you will see in the AGM Report, Pat Quinn has stepped down as President and Robert Boodle has taken over that position with Judy Wilkie becoming Vice President. On a personal basis, I would like to thank Pat Quinn for her willing help in supplying articles for the Newsletter and the appointment of Judy Wilkie is a fitting tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly over many years for the Society – thank you and well done to you both.

    THE VALUE of REGISTERED CATTLE by Pat White

    THE VALUE OF REGISTERED CATTLE By Pat White Here is the article I wrote for the Bagpipe for those of you who are not members of AHCA. I would love some reaction from those of you who do not have registered Highlands or do not plan on having registered cattle. I often get frustrated when I am browsing Facebook pages about Highland Cattle. I love the photos posted, I love the educational aspect of the columns, (although one must be very careful: I have seen some rather incredible mistaken beliefs posted as gospel) but I don’t understand so many individuals with such an apparent passion for Highland cattle, and yet they either do not register their cattle, or they do not buy registered cattle in the first place. I am such a strong proponent of pedigreed cattle with on-going registration of offspring, and I struggle to understand why others do not share this particular passion of mine. So the question remains, why should anybody buy registered Highland Cattle? Registration papers signify a great deal about the actual animal you own or are thinking of purchasing. Those papers trace the ancestry back through 3 generations, and if you look up that registration information on line, with a simple click of your mouse you can explore each ancestor on the pedigree back another 3 generations, with each and every click. In addition to name and color you can explore “relatives”; the offspring produced by a grandsire or grand dam on and on ad infinitum or at least as far back as our herd book details.
