We have milk and dairy cows, alongside sucklers. Our sucklers are all the Hereford breed. The land on the farm is very fragmented, we have six different parcels of land in a four-to-five-mile radius, which means a lot of travelling every day between the main farmyard and the different fields. I have developed a reseeding plan which sees me reseeding around ten to fifteen percent of the farm every year. I use a mix of grass and clover to keep the grazing at top quality. We grass measure and we do a lot of soil sampling to ensure that the grass is as good as it can be for our Hereford cattle.
I chose Herefords because I run them on an out farm and they are a docile, quiet animal that are easy to manage and they are also easy calving, so I don’t have to worry about them too much.
