In support of Backing British Farming and sending a clear message that the Labour attack on farming is getting very close to the crunch point.
Starmer is now trying to line with EU food once again and it creates a lot of uncertainty. Along with the current rate of dairy farms still closing. We are now at a crucial stage as to whether farming remains viable.

As the Farmers Guardian have received word from the minister of agriculture that there is a lack of care for our uplands. Farmers play a vital role in keeping the countryside in such good order managing fields, hedgerows, and vast hills. Unfortunately, there is a plan to pay vast sums of money to major landowners in the uplands to destock sheep and remove the tenant farmers from the land.
The sheep we are talking about have generations of the same bloodlines running on those hills, knowing them, and teaching the next generation of lambs how to live upon them. They are going to destroy a technique that has been used for centuries.

As we are halfway through 2025, it was about time to get the Evolution started up with some continental beef breeds.
Do you know what this calf is?

We are looking forward to the improved hygiene, slower regular feeding and upto date calf health at our fingertips while out delivering.
Looking after customers and calves is definitely our priority.

High wildfire risk alert for Northumberland 🔥

We are urging everyone to exercise extreme caution as wildfire risk remains high across the county following a major incident at Wark Forest that took over two days to extinguish.

🚒 Fire crews from NFRS, Cumbria, RAF, and Forestry England worked tirelessly to contain the blaze, which scorched over 4,000 square metres of young trees, grassland, and bracken.

🙌 Help us prevent wildfires by following these tips:

❌ Avoid open fires, campfires, or BBQs in the countryside
🚭 Fully extinguish ci******es before discarding
🚯 Take all litter home, don't risk accidental ignition
🚗 Be cautious when parking on dry vegetation; hot exhausts can spark fires
🔥 Refrain from prescribed or controlled burns during this high-risk period

📲 If you spot a wildfire, call 999 immediately and provide:

Exact location (grid reference or What3Words)
Direction the fire is spreading
What is burning (grass, trees, etc.)
Any immediate threats or hazards
