Back to Yorkshire for some work and visit a stunning equestrian facility for world class dressage horses at mount St John. All star livestream for the AHDB, with joe seels, Rebecca Wilson, Charlie Beaty, Phil Hadley and the one and only Izak Van Heerden. Cows are finally enjoying some lush grass seems the nitrogen has worked.



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.
