Bosahan British Simmentals
The Bosahan Herd of British Simmentals Was Established in 2006
We are members of the Premium Cattle Health Scheme and aim to continually improve the E.B.V.s (Estimated Breeding Values) of our herd. Young Simmentals Bulls usually for sale together with a selection of females. Check out our Stock For Sale Pages.
Following the sale of the Trewardreva dairy herd we purchased 4 Abbey Chase Simmental cows, bred by the Gregorys at St Columb, from Andrew Pellowe (Chicken George) at Porthtowan. At the offical Bristol society sale the following month we added our stock bull Winford Storm by Blackford Harvester and three more females Atlow Petruska with a calf at foot (Atlow Petruka Star), Beanhill Penny and Grangewood Paris. These 7 females produced 17 heifer calves in three years!!
In 2007 we returned to Bristol and purchased Sabre Satin and Dinton Henrietta 5th and in 2009 returned with Brigstock Venus and Sterling Noontime's Wanda. We were also fortunate in securing Hockenhull Natalie 48th at the 2009 historic dispersal sale. In 2010 we added Bolankin Anita puchased at Truro market.
Atlow Petruska was awarded Elite Cow status in 2009 and produced 10 calves with an average calving interval of 370 days.
In 2011 we travelled to Scotland and secured Skerrington Armada to replace our original stock bull. With over 150 registered calves and now trait leader for 200 day weights his progeny is represented in commercial and pedigree herds across the British Isles. Our last female acquisition was bought in Northern Ireland. We were delighted that we were fortunate to purchase the stylish heifer Ballinalare Courtney, d.o.b. 08.07.2011 at the September 2013 production sale. By Auchorachan Wizard with a TI of +81 and SRI of +88 we feel Courtney is an asset to our herd.

In 2015 we attended the British Simmental National Show at Three Counties Show and purchased our first polled bull Heathbrow Freddie Star 14. Reserve male champion on the day he has sired over 65 registered calves and his progeny have also enjoyed show ring success including reserve female champion at Royal Cornwall Show with Bosahan Jessica Star in 2019. By Celtic Comet his maternal line goes back to AWL Starlet imported from Canada as a calf.
In 2019 we visit the February Stirling Bull Sales and return with Knockreagh Immanuel and Kinclaven Infusion (P)

We have also shown some our stock at the local Cornish shows and took 6 animals to the 2009 Royal Cornwall Show/National Simmental Show and were delighted to feature in the ribbons. In 2010 we have shown Bosahan Aramis, Bosahan Whitney, Bosahan Alesha and Sterling Noontimes Wanda with success. Wanda returned to the showring in 2011 with her first calf at foot, Bosahan Brandysnap by Camus Brandy. Brandysnap swept the board in Cornwall's young handler classes for Beth Bromley in her first year of competition. At the 2012 Royal Cornwall Show our 2 year old heifer Bosahan Blue Diva was 2nd to the eventual Champion Simmental and the yearling Bosahan Crocus was 4th in one of the strongest classes of the day. While Bosahan Charity Wanda, Bosahan Diamond Lavender and Bosahan Dixon 13 all featured in the awards at the October 2012 Cornwall Pedigree Beef Cattle Calf Show. The 2013 Royal Cornwall Show Bosahan Bedazzle headed her class and Sophie Butcher won the young handlers with Bosahan Dynamo at her first attempt showing cattle. Bosahan Angelika, Diamond Lavender, Daisy Flower and Crocus completed the team. Bosahan were also awarded the runners up spot for the best kept cattle lines. In 2014 we returned with Bosahan Electra Venus winning the junior bull or heifer class, September born Cruz Velia stood 3rd in the in-calf heifer class with Bosahan Enchanting Miss Natali taking the reserve spot in the yearling heifer class. Sophie Butcher was successful again in 2015 winning the senior handlers class with Bosahan Fletcher and reserve overall while Bosahan Flirty Tresor stood 3rd in the yearling heifers and October 13 born Bosahan Erin Angelika made her debut in the 2 year old heifer class. 2016
