We have decided it is finally time to wean Grand Design, after all he is 10 months old.  His mother Ellie has done a great job and she has not dropped in condition too much. 

We now have the task of halter training him to lead, as he was the only bull kept entire last year he is our show prospect for the upcoming season.  His first lesson was today and he did very well

I have just posted more photos of our progress on the Barnstay Units, we are going along OK, it is slow work but I am sure it will look magnificent when it is finished.  I have a very clever husband, although when you tell him that he will deny it.  He has such a great eye for picking which stone has to go in the next spot, he keeps telling me "Be the rock" and that they talk to him, I haven't heard them
