Dairy farmer in Cumbria selling milk to Arla and rearing all beef on farm, particularly interested in improving calf rearing and reducing antibiotics use!
late finishes on a Saturday night are always a bit plain but going over 8000 litres for only the third time in 14 years at the farm makes all the hard work feel worth it. #happyfarmerhappycows
@MBeeston1 Yeah we are very lucky in the sense that we are half an hours drive from borderway mart at Carlisle always get a lot of quality cattle through either dispersal sales or the monthly dairy days
Always enjoy when the cows get classified. Really pleased how they looked today with the highlight being a EX92 3rd calver which we’ve only ever had once before!
@TStable Just tradition really all our home bred family’s we’ve always just left as serial numbers and new families we put the sires name. Bit of a faff when you think about it 😂
