Dan PowellAugust on the farm

This summer has been a strange one. Fantastic sunshine one minute and rain the next, but on the whole cool and dry. 

This year’s calving is over and a Red Ruby heifer that was bred here calved her first healthy strong bull calf, it was great to see the breeding cycle come full circle. The bull that we hire was collected last week and is busy getting the cows back in calf, and so the cycle goes on... 

The lambs born this year are the best we’ve ever had, and we’ll be weaning them this week. Some of them are as big as their mums already! 

Today we open our gates for our Summer Fair. We’ve been busy sprucing up the farm over the last few days, strimming, cutting and tidying to make sure it’s as beautiful as possible for our guests. If you’re here this weekend, come and say hello and meet the animals in person.
