Farm Update - 20th July 2017

Hay Making

The period of dry weather enabled us to crack on with hay making, and thankfully we got this all finished before the rains came! Dry weather is essential for making good quality hay, as unlike silage, the grass needs to be totally dry before baling so that it doesn’t go mouldy. The hay is made in small bales and left unwrapped (as we want it to stay dry, not pickle itself like silage!). This year we have made approximately 900 small bales which will be primarily sold for horse feed. If you’re interested in seeing videos of the hay making process check out our Facebook page.

Farm Update - July 2016

Cattle

The cattle continue to graze the fields in and around Northmoor with many now being moved on to fresh pasture. Once the cattle have been moved to a new field the old grass field is cut with a topper. This cuts off any old dead grass and encourages fresh nutritious grass to start regrowing ready for the cattle to move back there later in the year. Find out more about the benefits of grass fed beef here.
