First Hand Case Study: Herbal Leys with Rowan Napper

Rowan Napper, his wife and sons, farm at Napper Farm Services in South Oxfordshire. It’s a 1400 acre farm with 300 suckler cows, 350 breeding ewes, 900 acres of arable, plus forage crops such as Lucerne, herbal leys and Italian ryegrass. But it’s the herbal leys that have been ‘proving their worth’ by providing forage in the dry summers. The main farm business is the mixed suckler cows which are fattened on farm and sold through the shop.‘We kill about a hundred steers a year,’ Rowan says. ‘We make pies and pasties too so sell the whole product and the lambs we produce are also sold through the shop.’ Visit our Website - https://www.cotswoldseeds.com Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more Cotswold Seeds Videos.
