Breeding the latest venture for Bob and Fiona Temple
Bob and Fiona Temple have followed a rather unusual path into the breeding game, with the husband-and-wife team best known for showing Charolais cattle at shows up and down the country.
The couple rose to the top of that field, and in their last year of showing before selling their Charolais herd, they had a yearling bull named Rumsden Fawkes.
