Our Sellers, John & Judy Fry farm alongside England's newest National Park, the South Downs. Their farm is bordered by beautiful river banks and lots of flowering meadows. Their Shorthorn herd was established in 2015 with the purchase of 5 heifers from the renowned Glenariff herd and a young bull from Meonside.

John has really got the shorthorn bug so much so that he now chairs the Southern Beef Shorthorn Club, John & Judy was delighted to host a club visit to their farm last July and welcomed a large number of visitors.

HANSFORD PERCY (P)

Percy is a deep fleshy bull with plenty of length and style. He has great EBV's like his father Coldrochie Leroy. Leroy is a gentle giant, a real powerhouse with a docile temperament, which has clearly been passed down to Percy.

Coldrochie Leroy was purchased for 9,000gns in May 2018 at a breed society sale in Stirling. He was only 14 months old, but it was clear to see he would turn into an amazing stock bull. It's been said many times that Leroy is out of the best cow from the Coldrochie herd.

Percy goes back to Fearn Godfather, who is in the top 1% of the breed for Selection Indexes and Carcase Weight. Percy's Dam, Hansford Lulu is a traditional, feminine milky cow. Percy is her 1st calf, and what a bull he has turned out to be! Percy has natural growth and is grazed in a flower meadow. He has not been overfed and does not need pushing at all.

Myostatin: E226X=0, F94L=0, NT419=0, NT821=0

HANSFORD PEGASUS (P)

Hansford Pegasus is a good, shapely bull with strong legs, good feet, style and potential. His Pedigree line is impressive going back to Fearn Godfather, who is in the top 1% of the breed for Selection Indexes and Carcase Weight.

Godfather is one of the best-known modern bulls in the Shorthorn breed. Pegasus sire Coldrochie Leroy was purchased for 9,000gns in May 2018 at a breed society sale in Stirling. He was only 14 months old, but it was clear to see he would turn into an amazing stock bull. It's been said many times that Leroy is out of the best cow from the Coldrochie herd herself been a powerful cow, who has always bred good, strong calves.

Pegasus has natural growth and has not been overfed. He is ready to work, and successfully got heifers in calf last year, all heifers are PD tested in calf.
