Our
main enterprise is a closed herd of Single Suckled, cross-bred beef
cows which we run alongside a small herd of pedigree Limousin
cattle. Some of the calves are sold at weaning, about 8 months old,
at Truro market, others are kept at home on the farm. The steers
are kept on a high protein diet and finished quickly for the meat
market, where they will be sold as “finished” beef at around 15
months old, whilst the heifers are turned out to roam the higher
part of the farm to mature slowly. Some are selected for breeding
at 18 months old and a few will carry on to “finish” for our
traditionally reared beef for the farm shop at about 30 months old
Our 300 free range hens
have the run of 2 acres with a view over towards the Lizard. New
housing gives them shelter and nest boxes,
