Ten days after the magnificent Cumberland Angus Bull was taken to Ayres slaughterhouse to provide the main course for the Slow Food Burns Night dinner (see posting 30th December 2009), a replacement bull calf has been born. The sire is our Cumberland White Bull (aka Whitebred Shorthorn), the dam one of our Aberdeen Angus cows. The calf, which has the same pure black coat as its sibling, is exceptionally large and promises to be just as magnificent. The mother managed to jump the five bar gate of the barn to get to be with the rest of the herd outside, so we are temporarily feeding the calf by hand, as this video shows.
