Last stop on the thistle stop tour was a visit to Laund Farm, the home of sheep dairy enterprise โThe Sheep Milk Companyโ which was exciting as non of us had really seen milking sheep before.. We had a great walk around, watched the sheep being milked and finished off with a brew, cake and a bit of sheep milk cheese which was yummy! #ThistleStopTour ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

2nd stop for the day to see the Baynes family and their Marleycote herd of pedigree Ayshires and Shorthorns.. What a fantastic tour!! They milk their cows with 2 Lely robots on a low maintenance system and the majority of milk goes into their own bottling system, sending cream and milk out to over 100 buyers ๐ฅ

Excellent trip around Blagdon home farm estate, with our fantastic host Andrew.. Some great examples of diversification including a crop walk with some interesting crop rotation and the farm shop to just name a few! They also host their own pedigree belted Galloway herd White park herds - A very informative afternoon!๐พ
