Waveney Belties at Suffolk Show

We had a great time at Suffolk Show this year winning the junior heifer class with Waveney Anna, and coming second in the junior bull class with Waveney Andy.

Unfortunately young calf Waveney Bomber was taken poorly at the show and so we took him and his mum Waveney Velvet home early from the show…..we wondered how poorly he really was when he came out of the trailer at 100mph living up to his “Bomber” name!! Anyway both Mum and baby are doing fine at home now.

It was lovely to take Anna and Andy in the Grand Parade and meet up with friends and customers at the show….!

Celebrating Great British Beef Week on Radio Norfolk and in the EDP

We are celebrating Great British Beef Week from the 23rd to the 30th April 2023.

We have been on Kayleigh Poacher’s morning show on Radio Norfolk with the cows (14/04/23 38 minutes in) talking about how we farm and of course our special cattle. Sarah Chambers at Archant also wrote an article for the Eastern Daily Press and East Anglian Daily Times about the farm, the belted galloways and conservation grazing with Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

The first new Belted Galloway calves arrive in 2023

Lovely to see the first calves of 2023 arriving – this years letter is “A” so if you have any name suggestions please let us know! So far we have 3 boys and 7 girls, 6 black and white calves and 4 dun and white. The wet weather is making the grass grow but it will be nice to see a bit more sunshine!
