A busy December

The lead up to Christmas on our farm always is busy. The remaining cattle still outside are brought home for the winter and begin their winter rations. Their diet is predominantly silage with the addition of straw to aid digestion. The younger calves and finishing cattle also get ground cereals. We also start to feed hay to the ewes so they make a gradual change from fresh grass to conserved grass ready for housing before lambing.

After Christmas we scan the March lambing ewes and bring home the February lambing ewes and prepare them for lambing.

Our farm meat sales are also concentrated into the first 3 weeks of the month and we do feel responsible getting the meat part right for those all important Christmas meals and making sure we get your orders right! We are proud of the meat we produce and do all we can to make sure that special occassion has great meat

Judy, Josh, Sam and I wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year and look forward to seeing you soon

NEW SEASON LAMB NOW AVAILABLE

STRAW SEASON
It will soon be the straw season for those requiring it for animals. If you have a requirement for the winter please give us a ring, we will bale and store it for you ( and deliver ). We tend not to bale many little bales beyond those ordered as they are labour intensive. We will have good quantities of round wheat or barley. As with hay we expect this to be relatively short as there is a stong demand from within the agricultural sector and the powerstation.
