End of Summer Aylsham Show with Belties
The summer show season draws to a close with the lovely Aylsham Show – our young dun Bull Waveney Harnser was Reserve Champion Bull in the Traditional Native Beef Breed Class and his dun half sister Waveney Coshie was Reserve Champion Female in the Native Breed Class with the pair of them taking a red ribbon in the Pairs Class – once again the sun shone and a lovely day was had by all!
Belties at the Royal Norfolk Show
Some of our herd of pedigree registered Belted Galloways again attended the Royal Norfolk Show – after last years rain it was lovely to get some sun. The beltie gang did well again with our heifer Red Zoe winning the junior heifer class and our young Beltie Bull Waveney Harnser coming second to his dad in the senior bull class and taking Reserve Male Champion and Reserve Norfolk Special prizes.
Class of 2018 Goslings arrive !
The arrival of our day old goslings is always an exciting day – at the moment they are still in the barn under heat lamps but if the weather stays fair they will be outside in the fields very soon.
Beccles Food & Drink Festival 2018
Always a fantastic day out and this year was no different the sun shone and there were lots of lovely locals foods and drinks to try and buy – including our own 30 day hung Pasture for Life Certified Belted Galloway Beef and Free Range Smoked Goose.
Belties at South Suffolk Show 2018
We had a great day with the Belties at the lovely South Suffolk Show – we took two of our 2017 heifers Delphi and Zoe, older heifer Waveney Coshie and our young bull Waveney Harnser. So two dun belties, one red and one black and white…the united colours of team Waveney Beltie!

First little Spring 2018 Beltie Calf arrives!
First little Spring 2018 heifer calf arrived yesterday afternoon – a couple of hours after the sun came out (for the first time in weeks – clever mum!). She was born just as Tiger Roll crossed the line in the Aintree Grand National…she is the smallest in the field and the going was heavy after all this rain but she’s pretty quick on her feet…..so Waveney Tiger it is then!
