The Herd
Current Stock Bulls
TwoMills run Riggit Galloway, Galloway (GCS) and belted Galloway pedigree stock sires
Stonehouse Jack Snipe
A very well bred Red Riggit Galloway bull. By Champion Hatherland Finlay and out of Stonehouse Firecrest, a Clifton Toffee Apple Daughter
Bomber of Hindhope
GCS young bull by Mountbenger Commander and TwoMills second time buying a stock bull from the Hindhope Herd. He will be used over a small nucleus herd of black and red pedigree GCS cows and importantly over White Riggit foundation cows. He was named by the breeders Tim and Tom Elliot after the Late Brian Hislop who farmed just outside Langholm. A passionate and skilled rugby player around Scotland and the North of England who was nicknamed Bomber. Tim considered it a fitting tribute to the man
Past Stock Bulls
Dunay Tavish
A lovely quiet, medium sized Belted bull Mochrum Kingfisher Son. His Daughter TwoMills Bess is retained in the herd and will go to the bull in 2022
Hatherland Finlay
Hatherland Finlay joined me from the Stonehouse Herd and is now with the Ashdown Forest. Finlay has left some impressive calves in all three herds. Finlay won the Riggit Galloway classes at the World Galloway Congress in Dumfries in 2016 and in 2019 won the Any Other Native Breed bull at the Royal Norfolk Show. Stonehouse Jack Snipe a Finlay Son is still in the TwoMills Herd
Patriarchs
I suppose you might say this is where my interest first started in the Galloways...
Clifton Firethorn
This is the photograph and the bull that got me hooked on Riggit Galloways. I was lucky to see him alive on Dartmoor in the Sherberton Herd and my first stock bull Sherberton Border Reiver was by him. A classic "Clifton" nmoiled face and the trademark white diamonds on the flanks. One of the greatest attractions for me with the breed as it was resurrected after 200+ years was the fact you couldn't just buy them you had to breed your own!
Ginger of Nether Rusko
Such a fabulous bull and responsible for some outstanding red Galloway cattle including Grandsire on the dam side to many TwoMills calves including one heifer exported to Germany.
