No rain since the first week in May, hoping we are lucky to get some tonight!🤞

Reward offered for the safe return of our beloved sheep dog!
Please share.

New additional to the team, meet Tatty!
We bought her from another dairy farm while on holiday in Cornwall.
Hopefully she will be herding cow's in no time!

Great to see Liam one of our employees enjoying a study tour in Shropshire and Herefordshire. Hopefully he will share the ideas has picked up from visiting other farms.

A view from the furthest point of the farm, the shiny feed bin shows where the milking parlour is.

Early morning milking

If only that rainbow would grow.......

Grass walked today, a few photos showing the situation we're in.
Very little grass growth so we're feeding silage and lengthened the rotation.
Excellent response to spreading dirty water! Just a shame we can't spread on the whole of the farm.
... Enjoy the weather while it's here and stay safe!

Cow's enjoying the grass tickling their udders!
Low grass growth means having to feed grass to the herd that was meant to be in the silage clamp.

Milk train going slow today due to the heat. The cow's are going in at mid day to fill up on some lovely maize.

Second cut grass in the bank! Thank you to all that helped sheet up the grass mountain, we all deserved a cold beer afterwards!
