    They look more like Herefords.

    They look like Hereford X Charolais, But would have to look at birth cert as cattle now are Xed and Xed again

    The one to the right with his bum towards us (the golden brown one, looks like the bull) is most like a true Hereford.

            April last year - Golden Cap viewed from Stonebarrow Hill

            golden cap1.jpg

            and from Charmouth beach

            golden cap2.jpg

            Found another! Golden Cap should be somewhere over to the right hand middle of this pic

            golden cap3.jpg

            And another, from Lyme Regis - have I caught Golden Cap in the background?

                That area is known as 'Beacon Rocks' and was extended using imported rock which I think came from Norway and formed part of a major stabilisation project at Lyme Regis. My daughter read up on this (as we visit the area often) and astounded her A Level Geography teacher when he raised it as an example.I

                    That's a while back Scrunge, the harbour's been dredged since then. Where that beach was is now a 10 foot drop.
