Dorset Cow Gladis and Unborn Calf ‘Chased to Death’
Dorset farmer Cameron Farquharson and family were devastated when their much-loved pregnant hairy highland cow Gladys was found dead.
Five year old Gladis is believed to have been ‘chased to death’ by dogs as she and her unborn calf died after falling over a 30 foot embankment on Eggardon Hill.
The uniquely beautiful bovine had been grazing on National Trust land near Bridport when she was attacked,’ said Mr Farquharson, National Trust tenant of Redlands Coppice Farm, near Bridport.
‘Had the dog owners reported the attack we may have been able to save her and the calf.
‘We beg people to keep your dogs on a lead.’
Gladis was more than just livestock to the family She belonged to his daughter Charlotte, 17.
“Gladis was hers from a calf. They have grown up together. I have four children and they are all devastated. We are all devastated,” he said.
Hairy highland cows are particularly attractive with an unusual double coat of rich auburn hair. On the outside is the oily outer hair – the longest of any cattle breed – which covers a downy undercoat. This makes them well-suited to the strong, cold winds and high rainfall of the Scottish highlands.
Dorset Police are investigating the attack, and their message to dog owners is clear;
‘Keep a close eye on your dogs. Livestock worrying is unacceptable – farmers’ animals are their livelihood and Gladis was more than just a cow.
‘We should have a blanket rule for dogs being on leads when it comes to livestock in fields. It is simple,’ Mr Farquharson said ‘we get it all the time: ‘My dog doesn’t chase sheep or cows.’
But they do. Whether it is sheep, cows, horses, alpacas, whatever — to let your dog run free is irresponsible.’
In the video below the family share an insight into their affectionate ‘hairy coos’, and thank the public for the overwhelming flood of kindness.
THE GARDENS OF CRANBORNE OPEN WEEKEND 2021
The beautiful and varied Gardens of Cranborne in Dorset will be open for visitors on the weekend of June 12th and 13th. All of the gardeners have been very busy over the lockdown and are looking forward to being able to show their gardens again. From the famous Cranborne Manor gardens, originally designed by John Tradescant in the 17th century, through elegant period and modern homes to much-loved cottage gardens, there is something for everyone in this delightful and historic Dorset village.
The gardens will be open from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th June. Entry is £10 for adults (good for both days); children free.
There will be a wide range of local artisan stalls and delicious, homemade refreshments. The event is being held in aid of church funds. Cranborne offers a wonderful garden centre with a café and 2 pubs in the village if you want to make a day out of it.
Highlights of the many gardens opening include:
Cranborne Manor Gardens: designed by John Tradescant in the early 17th century, the structure follows a pattern of ‘rooms’, delineated by hedges or walls and softened by billowing herbaceous borders.
The Old Vicarage: a mature garden with views to the church and Cranborne Manor. A natural swimming pond provides a habitat for wild life.
Manor View House: this wonderful late-Georgian house boasts a beautiful walled garden, with a mass of repeat planting surrounding variegated standard hollies; deep borders are planted with a mixture of shrubs, perennials and roses.
Bank House: a typical Edwardian small walled garden with a vine, herbaceous plantings, roses, shrubs and climbing plants.
16 gardens open. Cranborne Manor Garden, which usually charges for entry, has graciously allowed us to include it in the price of the ticket.

The 3 Hidden Benefitsof Getting Financial Advice
You know you’re in financial difficulties.
But the internet searches you’ve done have provided you with such contrasting advice that you are confused.
There are so many different choices and opinions.
How on earth can you decide who to turn to and help you out?
1 Try Local
Your searches may have taken you all over the country, but don’t you want a business that has a face to it?
Go to one that allows you to come into an office to talk privately and confidentially about your issues, or do this by video call.
2 Empathy
What has empathy got to do with debt?
You may feel totally embarrassed about your problem. So talking to a trained counsellor and someone who won’t make judgements about your financial difficulties will help.
Feedback has shown that sharing your problem can help and a solution for you can be found
Tough decisions may have to be made; but if you can make them in a collaborative way, this will give you peace of mind. By understanding your issues, in an empathetic way, it could mean that a weight will be lifted from your shoulders. You can sleep at night again.
3 Health Improvement
When you are searching for help on the internet, was there any information about the links between deteriorating physical and mental health and debt problems?
Whilst an insolvency practitioner cannot hand out medicines, just by listening and helping you, your stress levels can be reduced.
This can lead onto better sleep and so aid your recovery to full health. By not being and feeling alone you will feel more in control and back on the road to an even keel.
What is your next action?
To talk about your financial position, pick up the phone or email me – [email protected] , pick up the phone and talk to me (Dorothy) on 01202 237337.
Perhaps come and find me on Facebook, or on Twitter
Make a list of who you owe money to, and we can arrange a time to meet and talk.
Know that help is at hand.

As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs.
by Karen Geary, a Registered Nutritional Therapist DipION, mBANT, CNHC at Amplify
Ever since Edwina Curry and the ‘salmonella in eggs’ controversy, the media love a good egg scare story.
Back in November there was a piece of tabloid science with a screaming headline about eggs being associated with an increased risk of diabetes that came from a Chinese study. This was somewhat confusing given diabetes is the inability to handle glucose and eggs contain very little carbohydrate.
Unless you scoured what the research geeks were saying in their analysis, nothing was written in the mainstream press about the way in which the statistics were analysed, nor the fact that in this particular group the high amount of ultra-processed foods being consumed was likely a key issue.
In other words, don’t blame the eggs for what the cake did!
On the positive, more recently a study of 50 overweight participants in Australia showed that 2 eggs eaten at breakfast instead of cereal reduced how much was eaten at lunchtime. Participants reported less hunger and consumed less calories when compared to those who ate cereal at breakfast. It seems to confirm previous studies in non-overweight individuals who also ate less and felt more satisfied when they had 2 eggs for breakfast.
My view is that protein in eggs is inherently more satiating, whereas cereal is mostly pure carbohydrate, creating spikes and subsequent dips in blood sugar. These spikes and dips make you feel hungry quicker.
The reason why I love eggs? Choline. Choline is a misunderstood and little known nutrient – often grouped in the B vitamins, but it is not a vitamin, nor is it a mineral.
Eggs have one of the highest amounts of choline compared to other foods.
Choline is an organic, water-soluble compound or micronutrient vital for a number of bodily functions including liver health (that’s why eggs are ideal when you are hungover), brain health, metabolic health, nerve function, muscle movement as well as pregnancy and breastfeeding.
There are some groups that have a higher need for choline than others:
Pregnant and breastfeeding women require higher amounts as choline is rapidly used by the foetus in its development. It is a protective factor for developmental problems, brain abnormalities, neural tube defects, and is associated with increased brain functioning in healthy babies.
Oestrogen is also instrumental in choline production. This means that post-menopausal women have a higher need for choline in order to support optimal health in ageing.
Endurance athletes, eg marathon runners experience a fall in choline and have a greater need.
Eggs are also high in lutein and zeaxanthin – antioxidants that reduce your risk of eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts.
The controversy around eggs and cholesterol is a topic for another day. But the latest research is that we should not worry about the cholesterol in egg yolks – and they are likely supportive in building the ‘good’ HCL cholesterol.
Eggs are one of the most nutrient dense foods we have, containing vital compounds. They are safe, cheap, tasty, easy to prepare and their benefits far outweigh any potential media scare story.
