Beadies Blizzard HB No. 10-6157

Born 20th March 2010 By Creadyknowes Ertie, out of Trondra Diana; Dun and white; COI 6.55%
At January 2022, Blizzard has a bull calf at foot; he is her tenth calf. None of her previous sons have been kept as bulls, until 2021 and Rosedean Braw. She will go to Hartons Grey in summer 2022.

Blizzard is our matriarch and “Boss” cow. She has proved to be a great mother and has been regularly milked. When she sadly had a dead calf in 2019, we milked her twice daily and at peak she was yielding 20 litres a day.
