How are we all enjoying the sun 🌞 ? The farm is certainly looking well, in the summer sun, full of brambles, spring barley and one colourful magpie moth 🦋

Today we are combining our winter wheat. 🌾 Unfortunately it’s not the best crop, mostly likely due to its roots standing in water most of the winter 🌧️.

Completely free range hens are great, but they do have a knack for finding new and interesting places to lay eggs around the farm 🐓 🪺

It won’t be long before this gang come back inside as our grass growth is slowing quickly. In honesty we could do with a drop of rain but we won’t say it too loud as it will probably not stop 🌧️

With such a wet winter 2023/4 and late drilling of spring barley this 2024 harvest has been a long drawn out job. ☀️ Thankfully we have a sunny day to get it finished and safe in the shed 🌾

Rolling in some grass seed that has just been drilled/planted so the seed gets good soil contact. 🚜 🌱 Also stumbled across another relic of years gone by, true horsepower. 🐴 #backbritishfarming🇬🇧

Yesterday we said goodbye to our stock bull Olly, he has has done a great job for us. He has now gone to live on a farm in the East Riding of Yorkshire, we are sure he will so a great job for them too! With that in mind I guess we are in the market for a replacement bull! 🐂

Yesterday we got all ploughed and drilled up with winter wheat before the wet weather due later this week. 🌾 🌧️ Let’s hope we have a far better autumn/winter this year than last 🍂 ❄️

We have our first little addition this season! A little angus x bull calf born without assistance last night to a first time mum. He’s already skipping about, let’s hope there are a few friends to join him soon! 🐮

Now here is a guessing game for you, does anybody know what this is going to be turned into?💡 Post your guesses below 👇

We love this time of year, plenty of cute new additions to the farm. All doing well thankfully. #newlife, #farmlife 🥰

Most of our snow has now disappeared but it has left a large frozen lake! ❄️ This field will be for cattle grazing this spring/summer. You can see why we have to bring our cattle into sheds during the wetter months, I bet they are glad about it too 🐂. Same trough last year.
