Living the dream! High performance, hi-health, functional beef cattle and sheep. FW 2014 sheep farmer of year, dad, Nuffield scholar, rugby coach and fan.
Dear @RachelReevesMP@Jamie4North speaking as quite a good one man band farmer.
In 2024 I will have contributed nearly £50000 in tax the treasury. I also produce barley which has a tax take of £1.8m and wheat which has a tax take of £4.5m when turned into whisky (all per annum)

Thank you @EdinvaleFarm for again putting faith in our genetics, delighted to see Tyrant home in his new surroundings, hope he does really well for you.
Delighted to get this fellow home today. Our 3rd bull from @FearnFarm as quite simply the bulls work for us on our Pasture for Life system. Tyrant gives us something different being a slightly thicker bull and with great figures. Only 13 months to see what the calves are like!
🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉

@AgriHighland *”Onwards is hard to beat”, not sure who Omar is, used to play badminton against a fella called Omar in school, he didn’t know much about neeps though.
@AgriHighland Not economic to take grass that’s under 2 out of production, forage rape and stubble turnips good for turning older grass leys round, could go twice then back to grass. Rape eaten ideally pre Xmas then stubble turnips but swedes February Omar de hard to beat.
⭐️ 🐑 LAMB FINISHERS 🐑 ⭐️
One of the places I am running lambs on is offering me to put in a winter feed crop.
Turnips won’t work as he doesn’t have any spring barley and all grass is less than 2 years old.
What would be the best winter hardy feed crop to finish lambs?
Fuel your body the same way you run your tractor 🚜...by giving it the right amount to keep it going for the tasks it needs to do.
Every day this week, we will be sharing nutritional tips from food & farming dietitian Rosa Holt.

Looks awesome, haven’t sampled the stuff that made it to fearn yet but really looking forward to it! The thing you cook them in looks handy, what’s that?
STEAK OFF! 🥩
Every now and again we are massively privileged to try steaks from other farms for whom we cut and pack. In this case long time friends of Macbeth's and Edinvale, @FearnFarm
Both beautifully tender and flavoursome steaks 👇
