Our Animals

Cows


Our grass fed beef cattle, which include Irish Moiled, Shorthorn crosses and Belted Galloway, are bought from a local farm as weaned calves aged between 6 and 7 months. They are raised on land in the nearby villages of Tangley and Clatford and are allowed to grow and mature slowly.

These traditional native breeds have been carefully selected for their superior quality and taste.

Sheep


We have a flock of over 200 sheep and lambs consisting of Welsh mixed breeds and Shetlands; Hampshire Down crosses and locally sourced mule lambs.

Grazing in and around our small local parish, they live a natural life reared outside on a diet of grass and other leafy matter, only being brought back onto the smallholding for lambing so we can keep a closer eye on them.

Pigs


We breed and raise pedigree Oxford, Sandy and Black (OSB) pigs along with Berkshires that we cross

with our OSB boar -Boris, who has been father to several of our previous litters of piglets.

Both breeds were carefully chosen as they are rare traditional breeds of pig noted not only for their

superior quality meat but also their excellent temperament and mothering abilities.

Our OSB breeding sows are currently Daisy, Ivy, Dolores and Clarissa and we also have two pure

Berkshire sows – Essy and Dotty.

All of our pigs are raised outdoors and have plenty of space to roam around on the smallholding.

We chose to breed and raise pedigree Oxford, Sandy and Black pigs – a rare traditional breed of pig noted for its many qualities, particularly its excellent temperament and mothering abilities.
