World wide enquiries resulting in initial sales of over five hundred straws have come in for our young bull Romany 1 Captain. With orders already dispatched to Eire, Denmark and Germany and enquiries from many other countries we feel it was the correct decision to draw from this young bull. What he offers is a great genetic package backed up by performance data with good accuracies. We would be happy to discuss him with you and you may find he will be a great asset to your herd. Please give him some thought when considering what to use in your breeding programme. His dam has a great udder with nice teat size. You will see his dam, Romany 1 Julia 41H V3 is by Glenlees Storm 51C 41H - for more information on him see our stock bull section.

We have only shown Captain twice due to the cancellation of shows last year due to FMD. At the Highland Show he was the star of our team. In the breed section he was Junior Champion, Best Animal under Two Years Old, Reserve Male Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion.

Following our success in the breed section we were delighted on the Saturday when Captain was awarded the Junior Interbreed Championship of all Beef Breeds (16). This is the first time a Hereford has won this coveted title at the Royal Highland Show.

We have sold a small quantity of Romany 1 Captain semen to Eire. It is only a small quantity and if you would like to use some in your breeding program this year (2008) please make contact early.

If you are based in Eire and would like to purchase some Romany 1 Captain semen please contact Goulding Genetics on 02970889 or 0868396802

The first calves have been born in Denmark and Germany it has been reported to us that all have been unassisted births and some terrific calves have been born.
