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

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!!

Wagyu x Dairy Shorthorn cow sired by Wagyu bull. We try to kill as near to 30 months as possible Carcass weight 300-340kgs, we normally creep feed on Mum, then store them for year 2 & then start feeding concentrate for their last 100 days. I should feed more but I'm too tight! Feeding approx...

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...

The Hartline was developed in the early 80's with a four way cross of Welsh half bred x Finn/Colbred x Texel x East Friesland. Stephen Hart was well ahead of his time when it came to developing a maternal ewe ' fit for purpose' A few years back Innovis put a Hartline ram over a proportion of...

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...

We have kept back our best dozen Highlander ram lambs to run on & sell this Autumn. We reduced our Highlander numbers to concentrate on our Primera/Focus Prime flock. Feel free to get in touch & come & have a look round. The ewes are at St Albans & I'm sure I can bore you rigid telling you how...

Bone Marrow, the untapped resource, the caviar of the red meat sector. A couple of future glowing endorsements on Masterchef & then the Suffolk will be back where it truly belongs as the No1 breed in the UK!!
