Dairy Farm For Sale

[Katarina]

I was well left by then but no, I think it was a fairly local polytechnic. Main farm Broadlaw was sold off if I recall and now it’s mainly horses and urban courses no farming at all but someone more local will know better than me.
It used to be the best sheep college in the country at one point, when Hans Porkson was running the sheep side, it had a NCA, NDA, farm secretary and various other ag courses

When were you there Hally?

They seem to be a rum bunch who will sell off the spoils at any given chance.

Parts of Askham’s own farm have been sold off since I was a student there.

The old sheep buildings and 200 acres as far as I know. Spoilt a good block of land for the college.

Plus 30 years a go, there was some hill land on the North Yorkshire moors (Nab farm) where the sheep used to go summer, and All of East barrow (the pig unit, farm office and potato store) have all gone

It means buildings and parlour must be crap !!

 

[Bipper]

Bit odd there not being any photos inside the sheds other than the parlour which looks decent enough.

looks a tidy unit, I would be a bit sceptical of the ability to carry 300 milking cows on 250 acres there. Might be wrong though.

some ventilation in that shed

Looks like a tight fit for 300 cows in there
