Favourite part of the job?
“My favourite part of the job is working on and managing such a progressive and forward thinking farm. There is always a new project to be working on and before it is finished, the next one is already lined up. I’m also responsible for all the out of hours calving, this is definitely one of my favourite parts of the job, welcoming all the new little Wagyu calves into the world with a “Welcome to Wyndford Wagyu!””
Favourite animal?
“My favourite animal is… Ermintrude, she is one of the Jersey recipients we had on the farm. During her time with us, whist she was in calf with a Fullblood Wagyu embryo, she always came up to me in the field for a fuss and a scratch. When she calved down and wasn’t exactly a great specimen for a Dairy farm, her character won us over and we kept her around. She has just had a little Jersey calf who will join our Recipient herd when she is old enough.”
