Our farm is a family farm, I took over from my father 30 years ago and now I work here with my wife and my two sons. The whole family work hard, splitting the jobs between us.
I have a beef herd, every year I rear sixty calves, I finish thirty and I sell the other thirty. I usually finish the heifers at eighteen months and the bullocks I leave to around twenty or twenty-two months old.
I have been working with Herefords for the last seven years I find them very easy to manage. I had sucklers in the past and they were more difficult to handle. The Herefords are so docile, they are easy to work with, are very quiet and you can move them easily even when you’re on your own.
