Your News Breeders Achievement Roydmoor
Heather 7 EX90 LP100 is the first cow to produce 100 tonnes of milk for Richard Dickinson at Far Royd Moor Farm and she achieved it in 11 lactations. Sired by La Presentation Dimension, she
was the only resulting heifer calf from five free straws of Dimension received from Semex as an unproven sire with the purchase of a batch of Shoremar Mason straws. Her calving interval for her first 10 lactations averaged 374 days, conceiving at first service each time. She is currently in calf with her twelth to Dunnerdale Kestral and has produced four daughters so far. She’s a workaholic cow who doesn’t like a lot of fuss and attention, but a special individual in the history of the Roydmoor herd.

Cyril Jost wanted to further his knowledge of dairying and cattle breeding and during his stay at Wyevalley was able to experience many aspects of the industry from calf feeding and mucking out to a bovine photoshoot with Jessica
Miller.Cyril is shown holding the tail of the young genomic bull Wyevalley LPS Fable, a son of the well known Laurelhill Maestro Fay EX, who was being pictured shortly before leaving Wyevalley for semen collection at the Sterling Sires Stud.
