I'm a 1st generation farmer, after starting as a hobby 6 years ago I now own a yard, rent the adjoining land and run 150 head of beef cattle.
I'm looking for extra ways to earn money from the farm though. I rear all my calves and take them through to fat so I'm already tided to the yard.
In the spring I grassed down a 7.5 acre field next to the yard with a permanent lay.
I was thinking along the line of a free range poultry unit but somthing slightly different.
The land is light to medium type so doesn't get water logged.
Can anyone recommend any firms that offer contracts perhaps geese, turkeys or the like?
