The Summer
Well, what a summer! The weather up here
has been wonderful and with our heavy land, grass has been
abundant. We cancelled our
attendance at a number of events due to the shortage or
livestock, but hopefully we have managed to keep our regular
customers happy. Availability will improve from now on and we
have plenty planned for next year.
We are attending the Food Festival
Nantwich, Cheshire from 26th to 28th September. This a new
event for us - a leap into the unknown! I hope the good
weather continues. Other major
news. We have decided to set up a separate company to run the
Meat side of our business. I am afraid at present it is rather
unimaginatively called Hallsford Butchery ltd (HBL). John R
Beattie who currently works for us is joining the business as
a shareholder. John and his parents will also be producing
Beef Shorthorn cross animals for HBL.
This is a great development. As you know
we are paranoid about quality and service, and John's
enthusiasm, energy and attention to detail will continue to be
a great asset and help us move the business forward with our
own butchery and other initiatives. Watch this space! |

The Farms Our beef
is top quality Shorthorn or Shorthorn sired. All our animals are
raised on either Hallsford or Dorreyfield farms. These small
family run farms are in a beautiful part of Cumbria that not
many people see, north of Hadrian’s wall, south of the border.
Our production is non-intensive,
largely grass based, although the cattle are finished on barley.
At Hallsford, it has been a great
year for silage and we have plenty to carry us through the
winter. Our continued use of red clover as a high protein forage
crop is paying off. We get high quality silage, good grazing for
fattening lambs (akin to rocket fuel) and it also provides
tonnes of nitrogen for the accompanying rye grass. Red Clover
also has a sizable tap root which helps improve the soil
structure. |
