 Alongside roles off farm, the brothers and their family run this coastal holding to produce quality finished lamb. The south facing land has shallow soils that can present challenges for grass growth in dry summer months. The grazing platform of 35ha is rotationally grazed with a flock of 250 mixed lowland crossbred  ewes and lambs which are sold largely finished on deadweight basis from mid June.. .Maximising grass growth  utilization is a key goal for the farm . They pay close attention to soil nutrients and to mixtures used for any reseeding of underperforming fields in order   to take account of the soil type and grazing needs. Integrating grazed forage crops into their lamb production system  is key to managing forage supply all year around on this farm.
