cattle for sale

27th July 2011: Tetford Olympic has now been SOLD.

Further cattle which we have for sale will be added as and when available, please check back regularly. Thank you.

Currently we have one mature Stock Bull for sale. Due to having a limited number of females who are not closely related he has not been overworked, 2010 being his first working season. He has not run with any females yet this year. (Please see details below regarding the reason he is offered for sale.)

Tetford Olympic (19123/H0543) .

Born: 18.07.2007
Sire: Tetford Jedi (11418/C0543)
Dam: Stixwould Flora (4382)

Olympic is a well handled, quiet halter trained bull. He currently turns the scales at around 1100kgs but he is compact and not being over leggy is well suited to run with both heifers and mature cows. In 2004 his sire Tetford Jedi was 3rd Intermediate Bull at the Royal, Male & Reserve Breed Champion Leicestershire, Lincolnshire & Heckington. In 2007 he was Male Champion Heckington, Reserve Male Champion Lincolnshire & Great Yorkshire. In 2009 he was Male Champion at the Lincolnshire.  In 2010, Tetford Jedi was Male Champion, Breed Champion and Native Breeds Interbreed Champion at the Lincolnshire Show, beating the Lincoln Red Champion on home ground! He finished the season with Male and Breed Champion at Heckington. Stixwould Flora - Olympic's dam was one of our foundation cows. She was by Halloughton Soloman, a prolific show winner and Male Champion at the Royal Show in 2000. Sadly Flora died in 2008 and Olympic was her last calf. After much deliberation we have decided to offer Olympic for sale as the number of females we have in the herd that are unrelated does not really justify keeping two Jedi sons.

He is a very dark bull, as was Halloughton Soloman, and the calves he has sired here are all rich red brindle. We are confident that he will breed well marked and, more importantly, well muscled offspring suitable for both pedigree breeding and quality beef carcases. Tetford Jedi was the sire of the animal from which the sirloin steak that won Country Life magazine's Britains Best Steak was cut.
