GC125 Gwion Parry

Gwion Parry, Bodgaeaf Isaf, Pwllheli, Gwynedd. Alongside a role off Farm, Gwion works with his father, Trefor, on the home farm on the Llyn Peninsula. Together they farm 148 hectares, keeping 120 spring calving stabiliser cows and 450 breeding ewes.

Farming on the Llyn Peninsula means they boast one of the best grass growing climates in the UK. Winter grass growth allows them to start lambing in January and the ewes being turned out to high protein, high sugar grasses contributing to their target of selling fat lambs at 40kgs+ from mid-April onwards to Pilgrims UK.

They also run a Stabiliser beef herd which are notoriously effective in converting forage. 

As a result, they do not supplement feed the cattle, as the grass is sufficient to manage BCS, maintain fertility and support calf growth and development.
