December is our busiest month of the year and traditionally the most profitable, with people wanting all their Christmas meat delivered it is certainly all hands to the pump. We are very pleased to say that it all went very well and we had our best year to date. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for you continued and loyal support throughout the year and at Christmas.
Elsewhere on the farm we have for the first time got some early lambing ewes, that are due to lamb in early Jan / Feb, the idea of this is that we will be able to stagger our lambing and have lamb available for more of the year. The daily grind of routine work goes on, with the cattle having to be bedded down with straw in their pens and fed everyday. The sheep are still outside in the fields and are being fed hay that was made in the summer. The sheep will stay outside until they are pregnancy scanned and housed in Feb, ready to lamb in April.
The weather is just on the change as I write this and the milder weather is giving way to much colder and frostier mornings. John our senior partner predicted a cold and harsh winter some months ago, let’s hope he is proved wrong.
