Dairy Support

Our dairy support farms do the essential work behind the milking herd. Across well-set-up grazing platforms, we raise around 3,000 dairy replacements a year and grow much of the feed that carries our cows through winter. It comes down to doing the basics exceptionally well: healthy animals, healthy soil, and stock that return to the dairy farms in top condition.

Young Stock

We raise around 6,500 dairy replacements a year, growing healthy young animals into the cows that join our milking herds. Careful feeding and animal health, from calf right through to their return to the dairy farm.

Winter Grazing

Our support blocks winter our dairy herds and grow the greenfeed and supplement they rely on. Rotational grazing and good planning keep both the stock and the soil in shape through the colder months.
