We were pleased to be selected as the winner of SEHBA’s Best Medium Size Herd category in their 2018 herd competition.
Our home bred stock bull Cleland 1 Luther was awarded the Best Stock Bull prize in the same competition.
Having been invited to enter the 2016 Windsor-based Royal Forest Agricultural Association’s farm competition, we are delighted to have been judged runners-up to the H.M. The Queen’s Royal Herd in the Best Pedigree Herd category and also in the Best Pedigree Bull category.
We introduced a pedigree Hebridean ram to our small ewe flock in the autumn of 2018 and are looking forward to seeing Hebridean progeny on the ground in 2019.
A small group of rare breed Buff Orpington hens arrived on the farm with their cockerel in 2018 and were installed in a new hen house. They have not so far proved to be efficient layers but we are hopeful they will produce more eggs once they settle into their new surroundings.
