First generation tenant farmers. Farming at Thrimby, Cumbria. Beef and Sheep, keen to teach people about our lives. You will catch us on “This Farming Life”

This cow has been with us for 7 years, she’s calved every year. She’s one of the quietest cows on the farm. This is why you should never trust any of them. Last night wasn’t a good one. Dani is ok, just bruised, but if she was lone working it could of been different. Hellish.

🫣 40,000 followers… 🫣 10million views this last month over on facebook. What’s going on, for something that stated as “let’s see what happens” in December, it’s grown arms and legs. I know those numbers are not so big to some folk but they are to us. The aim was to show the day in day out farming things and it seems people enjoy that. Let’s keep going…

Day number 4 of heading to hell. I’m using a tractor, drilling ploughed land (barbaric 😱) I’m sowing barley, which i will use to make beef and also provide bedding for them. I know, i should have been growing almonds or Quinoa but remember,i’m going to hell. Happy Easter

Every single day of the year starts the same. Collecting fertiliser. People bang on about all sorts of things, but slurry and shed muck is the backbone of good proper mixed farming. I’m genuinely worried people are or have forgot how to farm.

This vid could be triggering for some. Here we have two of the most harmful things for the environment… Sheep and a farmer. Responsible for the destruction of nature and the climate crisis. Don’t worry about the M6 in the vid, turn a blind eye to that… How nuts is the UK?

Labour says 15% of land to come out of production, to go in to greening etc. We already can’t produce enough food, The world currently isn’t producing spare food. This is wealthy individuals in little bubbles, handing contracts to party investors. They don’t worry about us.

🥩🇬🇧🥩 Finally getting around to clipping the cattle after a busy few weeks. These guys are averaging 480kgs at 12m old. Heaviest is 560kg. I’m not sure you can get much more efficient than that. British beef.

Back home to the animals this morning. It’s good to get away and meet new people involved in the other side of the industry. Thinking about youtube, is it lots of work and is it something that’s in demand or are we late to the party?

Spot the dog? 🐕🐶 Name a better job in the world? Gathering sheep on days like this don’t happen very often but by god they make up for the crap days. Every member of the public walking today took a photo. This is a way of taking your mind away from tb testing on Friday.

It’s been some week. I’ll fill you in over the next couple of days, but this lass has just topped the week off. A lovely little heifer calf, she’s 10 and it’s the first heifer she has had. We have been waiting for 6 years. Beef shorthorn, the future.
