A fifty five cow suckler herd, based on the South Devon and crossed with Limousin, are kept to keep the pastures well grazed, allowing the sweeter grasses to thrive for the benefit of the sheep.

A small herd of Luing has recently been introduced.

They are comfortably housed from December to May and fed high dry matter silage. 20 tons of cereals are used for maintaining the herd. Straw is purchased to assist with the production of well composted manure. No compound fertiliser is used. Antibiotics are limited to emergency use in the case of a sick animal, under veterinary supervision. Homeopathy is practised.

The calves are born in the Spring and early Summer, when the days are warmer and grass is plentiful for the cows to milk well, and are sold to organic outlets at 18 months of age.
