Mara Epic, pictured left at 2.5 years old at grass and right at 5 years old. This bull is real evidence of the Hereford's ability to grow, flesh and do on a grass-based diet.
Epic is a son of FH Diamond ET. On the dam side, he has Blossom and Pansy cow family bloodlines. He was the first calf of Mara Blossom 26 who is still producing at the Mara.
Without exception, he has proven himself as an easy calving bull - both on heifers and cows.
He is the sire of Highhedges Blossom, winner at Oxford County & Thame and Bucks County shows in 2011, the winning pair of calves and HighHedges Blossom 6.13, Junior Female Champion at the National Show of Hereford Cattle 2014.
