Farming enterprises

 We started with a flock of native breed Whitefaced Woodland sheep. Though we will always have a few "Woodies" around to clean up the courser grass, we now buy store lambs in the autumn to finish on aftermath grazing. 

 After experimenting by out-wintering some Belted Galloway cattle, we will soon be adding a small number. They are particularly well suited to grazing the diverse, species-rich grassland being established here. 

 Silage has been produced on the farm for many years. We are now switching to hay, which we sell to a local farm and pet supply business, as well as a few direct sales. Due to unpredictable and volatile weather, hay production here is a risky business.
