On 18th & 19th May I’m hosting two farm walks as part of the Agroforestry Open Weekend 2024. More deets here: agroforestryopenweekend.org/curtis-farm/
If I am too far there are lots of other farms opening their gates that weekend.

A three part ramble for those who don’t follow me on Instagram. Awful weather, not doing a good enough job, cows being dicks, and a generally shit time. But there is a plan afoot! Gotta keep striving to make things better. Thank you in advance for all those who listen.

Not great at putting my words across but please have a listen.
UK ag needs you, food production needs you.
We are heading full steam
in to a very dangerous position as a nation.
Politics only seems bothered about votes.
Please reply with your thoughts???!

Managing 57 animals (~25t) on 4.5ha paddocks moving once per week & feeding 250kg DM/day. Looks good to me!
1st & 2nd pic is the paddock after a week of grazing. Admittedly the tank needs some hardstanding (central tank serving 4 paddocks).

Dayreams about central paddock drinking and sorting systems, and shelter-sheds for my bull field.

Tom is planting his #agroforestry and wants help! Who is free to lend a hand. Great to see another superb farmer planting trees to break up monoculture fields.

20 month old Pedigree Red Poll bull for sale. High herd health and clear for all five diseases. Super friendly. TB4 area (South Essex). Viewing recommended.

Can anyone recommend good water pipe installers in / around Essex. Ideally via a vibratory mole plough. Putting a 50mm water main across the farm with 32mm spurs for cattle drinkers. Thanks!

I’m looking to build a Temple Grandin inspired #cattlehandling facility, but haven’t found anyone who does them (specifically the V-shaped final curved race). Current rough design pictured.
If anyone knows of companies building and installing this in the UK please shout.

I am selling three converted containers - a 40ft bunded spray store, a 20ft converted workshop, and a 20ft converted office / cabin. Please RT.
