The herd is milked through a modern herringbone parlour with ACR's, ADF, and feeders; paddock grazed for as long as the weather dictates (generally February - Nov) and are housed in cubicles during the winter where they are fed block cut silage. Regular grass measuring takes place on a weekly basis. All data is inputted onto software to give a grass wedge.
The herd is split into a spring and an autumn block, and all replacements are reared on farm.
