Nice write up on our farming system in the @FarmersGuardian πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
πŸ‘ In farming, life often comes full circle and no one illustrates that better than Rhys Edwards. He runs a flock of 520 Welsh Texel Mules alongside his parents, Russell and Eira, at Hendre Ifan Goch near Bridgend, South Wales. Having previously finished lambs off grass using a 21-day rotational grazing system, the family's approach has evolved in recent years. πŸ”— READ MORE: farmersguardian.com/feature/… #hillfarmer #sheep #farmlife

Here I go again! Media siding with the supermarkets. All farmers want is a fair price, they’ve already upped the price for you as the consumer why can’t it filter down to us so we can cover costs?? #payfarmersfair

Anyone done a COP on what lambs should be making liveweight/deadweight for 2022 NSL given the feed/fertiliser/energy price increases? 😬- obviously there is v different management systems but a guide. Very curious given lamb price has stayed the same since December!?! #sheep365
