One of the busiest days EVER starting off trans shopping cattle as David Holdsworths huge wagon can’t fit up the back of big Roy’s farm, so we did four loads of cattle in the yellow wagon and then onto the road and over to the big wagon, they went to Darlington auction and then we loaded up with cows to take to Carlisle H&H BORDERWAYYYYYY seeing the sweetest pet lambs go in to get sold was ace I didn’t realise they could do that I should go and get myself some more 🤣🤣😇😇😇 off to @TomPembertonFarmLife to visit on a top secret mission (I know you all love a top secret mission) looked at the most epic shed in the world I’m very taken with the feed poles barrier like….. what do you actually call them? Anyhow much fun had drank milkshake played with highlands etc etc. we put all the panels in up the side of the shed where the feed star system will be going, the merlo is excelling as always. Cladding gone in the tank room it is AMAZING more to follow on that he will have finished the ceiling soon then you will see the full effects.

in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.

we are in a transitional period at present and will finally be milking cows and making the final switch later this year, after years of planning and implementing infrastructure we will be milking 120 Jersey cows on two Lely robots. This will be a huge change and a steep learning curve

I will be taking you all along for the ride so hit that subscribe button and see you every other day for farming vlogs.

I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people from Preston to spread their wings and think outside the box the world doesn’t need more childcare workers or hairdressers it needs more farmers.
