Dean first thoughts it was a Limousin but reserve that thought it may be a Ruby Red Devon as its quite short on the leg, let see what the expert Wrighty has to say on the breed, cheers Buzzer.
Buzzer:
Weather better and that’s typical now the steers are inside have to litter every other day and they eat three rounds of haylage in that time to boot and that all adds up and eats into any margins. Got a TB test booked for the 1st of November so if we go clear they will be gone out the door soon as, Buzzer.
I had a P cab 113 F585 DYB ex West Trucks which we had on contract to Olives Paper mill at Ramsbottom ( Tups ■■■■■■■■ to locals 
) Cheers Dennis.

Yes I would agree it does look like a Limousin albeit one that has missed being de-horned, to be honest they look much better without horns and a lot safer to handle.
Busy few days on the farm sold seven Swaledale tup shearings on Thursday, top price was £450 which was a bit disapointing but at least we got them all cashed. Friday was spent blood testing the cattle and marking sheep according to which tup they have been tupped with, and Saturday was mucking sheds out and today we had a nice Sunday roast dinner and a relaxing afternoon.
Work this week was very busy set off Mon morning across to Castleford to load 2 rollers then down to Nottingham to tip a ride on mower and a salt spreader, then down to Hereford to tip the 2 rollers and then across to Lampeter to tip some concrete panels and parked up below Cardigan. Set off Tuesday morning down to Tenby and tipped some concrete slats, then into Haverfordwest to load a tractor then across to Whitland and loaded a bunded fuel tank. Ran across and tipped the tractor below Andover then ran up to Huntingdon and parked up for the night. Wednesday morning I tipped the fuel tank near Warboys then ran over to Ipswich to load a muckspreader which had already been collected Grrrrrr, after several phone calls I ran back over to Chatteris and loaded to skip wagons which I then tipped near Doncaster and then ran home, just short of 29hours driving and over 1800kms in three days so lets hope for a slightly quieter week this week.
Cheers Wrighty.

Thanks Buzzer and Wrighty for the name of the breed,nice looking animals.
Looks like you were flat out Wrighty you certainly get about. 
Meant to ask you about the John Deere machine further up the page. What is the correct name for one of those ?
Are they for harvesting maize ?
This is from along time ago and is the old A27, in the shot is the White Swan Hotel with a double deck bus outside. Note the advert for Alec Bennett going up the stairs the place I bought my first motorbike an Ariel Arrow 250cc for £78.10 shillings. The first house past the hotel was where I started married life in 1976 although by that stage it was just a pub, memories flood back from old pictures, Buzzer

Evening DEANB
They are known as self propelled forage harvesters and can be used for chopping grass maize or wholecrop you just need to change the header, the one in my photo was fitted with a maize header.
Cheers Wrighty.
This shot in 1964 looking up the A27 at Bursledon with the White Swan Pub just under the bridge, Buzzer
looks like a Hillman minx estate and a Hillman minx saloon…

Thats a great pic !
Wrighty, thanks for the name for the harvester,watched one last year and they soon go through a crop ! All this modern
farm machinery is impressive stuff.
This is a shot of the old bridge over the Hamble river on the A27 looking in the Portsmouth direction but a lot earlier and of course in its past it was a toll bridge, Buzzer

Yes you may well be right on the money there, when it were raining I used to borrow the old mans 690 as I had a motbike then but a heavy beast to drive it was an ex police motor then he went on to a 610 after that again ex police, Buzzer.
that’s what I remember about the 690, police cars in the old british films…and that stupid bell instead of a siren…

On the old mans 690 you could see where the bell was fitted and inside where the radio used to be but when you think about it there was not so much traffic back then and maybe a bell had more chance of being heard, also we were one of the first houses to have a land line phone as we were a farm and the immediate locals used to sometime come and ask to use it leaving the four old pence on the kitchen table, one chap was using it one day and he was shouting into the mouthpiece as whom he was calling was about 10 miles away and my dad had to explain to him there was no need to shout as they would still hear him, life was more simple back then Buzzer.
beautiful pics of a long time ago era when we had a motor industry… your right about the bell as there wasn’t as much noise pollution then…
Here are a couple of shady looking mushes hanging about outside the ladies toilets, one past employee and one present, Buzzer.
Bursledon where I live still has a fully restored and working windmill, unusual for these parts that’s for sure, Buzzer
