Farming background

I have grown up on a very small family farm where we have always had a small flock of sheep. Which I've gradually built up to now 100 ewes. I buy weaners to finish and sell as meat. And the most recent additions have been buying 40 dairy cross beef calves at approx 2 weeks old to rear through to 5 months old.

I now live on a dairy farm with my partner so am quite involved helping there when I'm free, milking and feeding calves.
