The future is bright! Really enjoyed hosting Harper Adams final year students again, what a great group to share our farm and philosophy with.
Another great day on the @HarperAdamsUni upland study tour looking at sheep, cattle and wind farms @BarnsideFarm #aikengallfarm #crystalrig @JDHarperAdams 🐑

Whether British farming is at a T junction, a cross roads, a roundabout or a cliff edge depends on who you talk to - here it was definitely a road people were enjoying driving on

A bit of a thread about how we came to farm here. This is my Great Grandad winning a ploughing match in Crickhowell. He came to Phepson in 1919 - you can hear all about it on this ⬇️ podcast with @YPClayConry

Yearlings enjoying the Italian & Westerwolds mix. Been strip grazing it all winter (along with red clover silage) but I let them into the rest of it this morning. Flat pack forestry in the background, courtesy of #StormArwen #farm365

An enjoyable afternoon virtually hosting final year @HarperAdamsUni students. This is the weaned calves on strip grazing and red clover silage with their mums in the field beyond. The calves had been creeping through to here but were recently shut in. Photo from a few days ago.

This Survey is part of my Dissertation looking at, ‘A Review of Options for Worm Control Taking Anthelmintic Resistance into Account’. It is relevant to all sheep farmers. I would really appreciate if you could take the time to complete it

Rams removed after 25 days, ewes still living well hitting these covers every couple of days. A kind autumn means there is still a fair bit ahead of them. #sheep365 #paddockgrazing #farm365

Coo out assessing road damage for me. Fences maybe down but roads firmly shut so all is good 👍

Hard to take in the scale of the devastation here. Whole woods flattened, thousands of trees down. People & animals all safe. It's going to take a long time to straighten out and shelter will be a challenge for years to come.
