Undaunted, he got them all in calf and the three of them calved over three days in May 2014. He sired a further group of calves in 2015. He is the grand-sire of Rosedean Bronte.

Stackyard Ace of Spades HB No. 16-7414 Dead

Born 18th April 2016 By Galfrid Ashley, out of Windgates Zinnia Black and white COI 5.29% Araclett line

We bought Ace in the autumn of 2016 from Andrew Paul, in East Lothian. Unlike previous bulls, who were kept with the steers in a batchelor group, Ace remained with the cows, sometimes penned within the cow shed on his own, but always part of the herd. His temperament was exceptional and, since we were not planning to keep any of his daughters, he stayed with us for five years, siring twelve calves. None of his sons have been kept as bulls until 2021 and Rosedean Braw. He is the sire of Rosedean Aurora, Rosedean Bora and Rosedean Bronte.
