    The first calves by our speckled park bull. Very impressed with his body condition considering the lack of grass all summer.

    Sheep shake up

    I was under the impression the Highlander started out with 50% Romney & 25% Finn 25% texel. I could be wrong though, I lost interest when I sold them to Innovis!!

    Are Wagyu cattle any good?

    These are some shoulder steaks from a home bred Wagyu x. The Denver & flat iron steaks are two of our most popular steaks & usually sell out first. We can get extra value out of the lesser cuts because the meat is so tender. Our Wagyu burgers have a noticeable texture/flavour difference to...

    Hartline sheep

    Our Highlanders scan over 200% (too high for the grazing they are on) & are very good on their feet. Hartlines scan at about 190% lambs wean slightly heavier but in general more variable on their feet. Both breeds lamb outside, Highlander birth weights slightly lower (not a bad thing) mortality...

    Hartline sheep

    Thanks @neilo been busy recently irrigating the cabbages, don't want to run out of Summer feed during the show season! We still do run a flock of Hartline ewes & sell a few rams but we are nowhere near as proficient as Stephen Hart was at the job. The Hartline was originally a 4 way cross of...
