The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust has been welcoming a new arrival on Bryher. A pedigree calf was born in mid-April, the first of three expected in the next few months.
The new calf brings the size of the Red Ruby conservation herd to seven.
Red Ruby, said to be one of the earliest breeds of domesticated cattle in the British Isles, are described on the Wildlife Trust’s website as ?of an easy-going and gentle nature, easy calvers, good mothers and able to exist on the most sparse forage making them ideal for conservation grazing schemes.?
