Our Calves
Our best dairy cows produce dairy heifers that we rear to join our dairy herd or to sell to other dairy farmers if we have a surplus, the remainder are used to produce beef calves some of which we rear ourselves and some of which we sell to other farmers to rear. We use a mixture of native and continental breeds (currently Angus, Limousin and Charolais) as well as a pedigree Hereford stock bull who sweeps up anything missed by AI. We usually have calves available for sale, please contact us for details.
Grass Fed Beef
The beef calves that we retain to rear ourselves are kept out at grass so long as conditions allow and are just housed for the worst winter months. Enjoying grazed grass for most of the year they are fed grass silage when housed.
