Pasture tour at Teme Charolais
After lunch we headed for Teme
Charolais just inside the Welsh
border. This is a very close family
operation run by the Corbett Family.
This farm is right on the border with
half of the farm in Wales and half
in England. A 20 head cowherd of
Charolais along with 20 recipients, a
small herd of Limousins and a flock
of sheep, this family likes to show
and have had good success doing it.
In 2018, they won Supreme Overall
Champion at the Royal Welsh Show.
Their show string was on display
getting ready for the Royal Welsh
show which proved successful with
them winning Interbreed Junior
Female and Pairs Champion. After
afternoon tea we were back on the
bus for some more spectacular
scenery on the way back to our hotel
in Telford.
