Getting dung spread under blue skies makes a change. Good bit of work done. The aim on this field is to build P levels up, improve organic matter and more resilient in drought situations with better water retention. #agronomy #agronimist #dung #irishfarming #irishagriculture #sustainableagriculture #organicmatter #soil #soilhealth #soilbiology

Are your paddocks badly poached from winter? Get in touch with us whether you are located in the UK or Ireland.

Our grass rake helps level poaching, removes dead grass and small weeds enabling better grass growth and healthier grass resulting in healthier animals. #paddockmaintenance #equestrian #smallholdings #morefromgrass

The last week of the ewes being out before they are brought in to lamb. The ewes have been having an extra help of lamb growth by being fed home grown oats from this harvest to help them meet their nutritional needs.

Lambs will be avalibale for sale via our meat box’s so please get in touch with us for a sustainably produced lamb. #bordbia #irishlamb #lambing2024 #irishmeatbox #sheep #sustainableagriculture #grassfedlamb

Scanning 47 cows and 7 heifers. Good scanning result and the heifers are in great order. Good to be brining some fresh blood and genetics into the herd. #scanning #springcalving #irishbeef

Scanned the ewes today. All came back in lamb with a scanning percentage of 1.7%. Most lambing around end of jan into feb with a few stragglers heading into mid March. Scanning is important so we know what we have and can meet the energy requirements needed with their feed. They are on good grass and will get home grown oats as-well.

Lamb meat boxes will be avalibale from end of May onwards of 2024. #lambing #lambing2024 #irishagri #irishagriculture #irishlamb #meatboxes #irishmeatboxe #irishbutchery #wexfordsmallbusiness #buylocalireland #supportfarmers

Fresh wood chip for a batch of cattle. Most livest

Fresh wood chip for a batch of cattle. Most livestock are bedded on wood chip here as-well as straw. The wood chip helps keep livestock cleaner and absorbs more liquid than straw. Once sheds are cleared out this will be composted using Bokashi ( Japanese fermented composting method) to retain as much nutrients as possible, reduce carbon losses and hugely increase soil health and nutrient retention in the muck.

Group of in lamb ewes moved into fresh pasture. Cleaning up some ground after cattle that was a reseed earlier in the year. Helping to naturally control weeds and ensure that there will be a clean strong flush of grass in spring for cattle. #sustainableagriculture #linkingenvironmentandfarming #intergratinglivestock #irishagriculture #irishlamb #lambing2024 #lowinputsustainableagriculture

Sheep are looking in great condition. They have been moved to fresh pasture a reseed carried out this year. Lambing is 2 months away and scanning will be taking place soon to tell us how many lambs a ewe is carrying.

Lambs will be sold direct from us in meat boxes. Can’t ask for a carbon neutral, eco friendly, low input high output produced lamb providing great flavour in the meat. So if you would like to reserve a whole lamb box please get in touch. #lamb #sheep #irishlamb #bordbia #irelandmeatboxes #lambing2024 #sustainablyproduced #wexfordsmallbusiness #wexfordfood #sustainableagriculture

Compost made from FYM ( Farm Yard Manure) mixed with old straw and wood chip. Broken down very well and quick. This will be used on grazing grassland and a market veg garden.

Adding compost to land helps bring back vital nutrients, improves water and nutrient retention, improves soil structure and life of the soil, reduces inputs (chemical fertilisers), improves crop yeilds. A sample will be taken to see what nutrient value it does hold to help with accurate applications. #irishagri #compost #soilhealth #soilbiology #soilnutrients #regenag #regenerativeagriculture #goodfarmingpractices #lowinputsustainableagriculture #sustainableagriculture

Two Belgium blue heifers tucking into multi species hay and are thriving very well. Pure grass fed low input and sustainable farmed.

These heifers will be available for meat boxes end of summer/ beginning of autumn 2024. Boxes will contain a mix of cuts such as mince, stewing/ diced, roasting joints, various cuts of steaks (at extra cost). #meatbox #meatboxireland #beefboxes #irishbeef #irishagriculture #irishagri #multispeciesgrazing #grassfedbeef #sustainableagriculture #wexfordfood

Tupping is going well with just 4 left of the floc

Tupping is going well with just 4 left of the flock to be served now. Looking to start lambing middle of January.

The sheep are giving the solar farm grass a rest before heading out on it after lambing. They are currently grazing stubbles cleaning up fields from volunteers and weeds reducing the herbicide usage and also providing good nutrients for the soil. Intergrating livestock whether its cattle or sheep into arable rotations is vital to ensure input costs are reduced and the dung being applied directly to the land reducing any nutrient losses.

Lamb boxes will be avaliable to purchase next year and also looking to supply local food services so get in touch if this interests you. #wexfordlamb #wexfordagriculture #wexfordfood #irishlamb #irishagri #irishagriculture #meatboxes #intergratinglivestock #agronomy #irishtillage

Carbon neutral lamb! One big statement but is 100

Carbon neutral lamb!

One big statement but is 100% true. Sheep have been moved into the Solar Farm in Davidstown, Co Wexford where they will stay for most of the winter. They will also be grazing cover crops and winter cereals, turning good energy sources into dung which will help the following crop thus reducing inputs( fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides and PGR’s)

Duke getting a good bit of extra feeding of a Herbal ley hay ready for his wild adventures.

Duke is our pedigree Suffolk ram who will be used on the ewes to help produce top quality irish lamb. You will be able to purchase lamb boxes next year as we have sold out this year. So please get in touch if you would like a low input, environmental friendly rear lamb for great quality, flavour and full of vitamins and protein. #wexfordlamb #suffolksheep #ram #tupping #wexfordfood #wexfordshoplocal #lambboxireland #irishlamb #irishagriculture

A autumn bumblebird seed mix providing a good sour

A autumn bumblebird seed mix providing a good source of food for both birds and insects. Containing : forage rye, oats, vetch, kale, crimson clover, lucerne, fodder radish, fennel, birdsfoot trefoil, alsike clover, phacelia, red clover. The land owner also added Chicory and Sainfion to it from left over seed mixes.

It was sown on a bank next to a water course, but can be sown anywhere on arable or livestock farms. Great way of attracting wildlife but also natural predators for aphids/ pests reducing insecticide usage. Environmental payments can be claimed with this seed mix. #agronomy #covercrop #wildlifearea #linkingfarmingandenviroment #environmentalseedmixes #birdcover #bumblebeeseedmix #environmentalarea #acresscheme

Not a decision i liked making but needs must for this grower. Spraying of Spring Barley, too much secondary growth and weed levels would have caused havoc combining. Sprays were applied on time just with the drought they were growing in meant herbicide up take was poor. #agronomy #irishtillage #agriculture #springbarley #harvest2023

A few more added to the flock. These will be pure grass feed producing top quality lambs. The ewes and lambs will be grazing on a Solar farm for most the time and also multi species mixed swards resulting in 100% pure grass feed finished lambs.

Once these ewes have lambed they will be used as part of a livestock integration program grazing winter cereals, reducing inputs and also increasing plant health. #wexfordlamb #lambboxeswexford #wexfordfood #grazing #sheep #lambs #livestockintergration #irishsheepfarming

Out walking through grassland. This was grazed until May, received 600g NPK in liquid form and fulvic acid @ 3L/ha which produced 11.6 bales/ ac as a first second cut silage. The new Sainfion seed is just after stricking after 2 days of being spread in and the Lucerne regrowth is exceptional after being cut 4 days ago. Just proving farming with the environment with minimal inputs and correct farming practises is do able. #multispeciessward #herballey #cattle #silage #hay #grazing #sheep #livestock #agronomy #agronomist #irishagriculture #irishfarming #irishbeef #irishsheep #regnerativeagriculture #regenerativeag #conservationagriculture

Second first cut silage of a multi species sward (chicory, red & white clover, plantain, vetch, crimson clover, sainfoin & lucerne) looks to have provided well. Was being grazed up to May before the drought hit, no fertiliser applied and looks like a 5 bale/ ac crop. #silage #irelandagriculture #irishagri #irishbeef #irishsheep #multispeciesgrazing #multispeciesswards #herballey

Soil health: This soil was majorly compacted just

Soil health:
This soil was majorly compacted just over a year ago from 10+ years of horses grazing and exercising. It has been ploughed, FYM applied, ploughed, and grew a fantastic crop of potatoes with a great increase in soil health and structure over the past year.

Min till is not always the answer. Rotational ploughing allows the soil to reset and suppress any problem weeds. #soil #soilhealth #soilstructure #soilbiology #irishagri #ukagriculture #agronomy #soilscience #improvingsoil
