SOOOOO big day the shed is starting again, we took a hiatus to finish stewardship work off and now that’s nearing completion the big jersey dream is back on track! Keyleigh from mayo mats came to talk about kitting the old shed out with new mattresses and cubicles, obviously jerseys wouldn’t fit in the big suckler spaces and we wanted them swapping over to plastic cubicles on one side, the other will remain metal for training the heifers on.

Heat is a massive problem with a dairy bullock and also a fly struck sheep is brought in for treatment :)

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.
