Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

After studying agriculture at Harper Adams university college in Shropshire, working in herefordshire on a dairy beef & sheep farm, in Buckinghamshire on a dairy, beef & arable farm & in Finland on an arable & poultry farm I came home to milk the prize winning Watchbury Herd of pedigree jersey cows.

The herd was sold in 2002, and in 2003 we bought our first breeding ewes which were welsh mules. We now lamb 230 ewes in February & April. We bought some rare breed pigs & have had many litters of piglets.

We also purchased 3 pedigree Aberdeen Angus cows in calf with calves at foot, & bred more cows. A few years later we bought our own bull from a leading show winning Aberdeen breeder, Aynho Brandy,
