I've been so fortunate that a friend and fellow Riggit Galloway breeder has let me bring two of her cows in to my herd
Maggie Gordon had a bull from TwoMills as a weaned calf. TwoMills Reiver's Boy did great things at Barfil Farm for Maggie Gordon and went on to put his stamp on a newly founded herd for Robbie Galloway's Cardona Herd before going on up to Sutherland for Derek Darvill.
Two Red Riggit Galloway cows with their bull calves at foot and back in calf today joined TwoMills from Barfil Farm
Both cow's dams were sired by Ginger of Nether Rusko, a truly splendid Red Galloway bull that we all came to love and both cows were sired by TwoMills Reiver's Boy.
Barfil Ash's black Riggit bull calf is sired by Rambler of High Creoch and she has run with him again before coming South.
Barfil Flower's red Riggit bull calf is by Barfil McDubh (red GCS) and is in calf to Rambler.
Barfil Ash dam line is from Barfil Cleos that originate from the Claretta favourite cow line of the Gilligan family's herd.
Barfil Flower is out of Clifton Red Poppy and this line goes back to Marbrack Red Pepper
Very important bloodlines to preserve and cherish.
What really makes it for me is how quiet the cows are which reflects the care and handling they've experienced at Barfil with Maggie and all the team
Medium weight cows of good structure and without imported blood lines
To say I'm delighted is an understatement
The photos were taken today in glorious Autumn sunshine and after a long journey that didn't seem to phase them in the slightest
