We have had a busy spring and sadly Dan Bird has left after 9 ½ years to return to his family farm on the Isles of Scilly. We will miss him greatly but wish him all the best for the future. Luckily I have been able to find part-time help with Charlotte Edwards who is helping me move forward and with day-to-day tasks.
Two stockbulls have recently gone out with cows and heifers – CRAJAN SALAH and PABO TIKTOK.
Bull sales have been steady off the farm and I have taken the gamble of putting several heifers to bull in order to maintain the herd numbers. This was a hard decision as the beef price has been so strong this year. Time will tell if this was the right decision.
We passed the herd TB Test in March – this is always a great relief. Silage was cut in May and we are desperate for rain after a very hot/dry spring.
I will probably enter one or two shows this summer – the first being Royal Cornwall Show on 5 June.
