Calving is now in full swing at Chatsworth, with 59% of the Hereford herd calving through the first cycle (3 weeks). Some decent calf’s out of @NHerefords bulls Daffy & Moose, spring is coming! 🤞
Last weekend we hosted the @natsheep young shepherds competition which had a great turnout. Was great to see so many young shepherds and it was a challenging and enjoyable competition. Feeling old now I can’t compete myself! 🐑
Many of you may have seen the 'toilet roll challenge' videos that have been shared on social media during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Well NSA has been helping out with a different shortage..... Can you spot any familiar NSA faces?

In order to help contain the spread of the coronavirus, all areas of Chatsworth, apart from the estate farm shop, are closed until further notice. This includes the car parks, public toilets, house, garden, farmyard and adventure playground, gift shops and food outlets.
First Hereford calf hit the ground today, from our new bull off @NHerefords. Up and sucking within 30 minutes, docile, easy calving and grass fed, certainly makes life easier!
Our 2020 group of #NextGen ambassadors have had a great day on flock health with sheep vet @PhillipaFarmVet and NSA English Committee Chairman @FarmerKev100 . More to come tomorrow 👍🏼
