Nice little piece on our Belties in the East Anglian Daily Times this week to celebrate the 2019 Great British Beef Week.
We have some limited supplies of our 45 day hung Pasture for Life Certified Beltie Beef available from the farm and are now taking beltie beef box orders for delivery at the end of May!😊😊.
Give us a call or drop us an email.
So this week we had a lovely (but blustery!) visit down at Carr Farm from fellow cattle farmer, designer and all round top lady Izzy Rainey – she wanted to feature the Belties in her “Over the Farm Gate” Blog….
It’s funny that whenever we get visitors wanting to photograph us with the belties that I always look such a mess …….luckily the belties make up for my shortcomings!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Keep an eye on Izzi’s next blog when she will be drawing some of our belties who may feature in her 2019 designs….we will keep you posted!

Earlier in the year we were asked if we would like to participate in a Belted Galloway herd Competition for the Midlands Region – with the winner going through to a National Competition. It was a great experience lots of useful feedback on all our animals from an experienced Scottish judge.
At the regional group dinner in Derby on Friday 5th October the results were announced and we were thrilled to learn that our herd was overall regional runner up, as an added bonus our homebred Bull Waveney Harnser was joint runner up in the bull class and our homebred heifer Waveney Coshie was overall female runner up too!
….feeling so proud of our little “Beltie” gang!
We had a great time at the 2018 Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival – our Pasture for Life certified – 30 day hung Belted Galloway Beef attracted lots of customers and for something different the free range smoked goose went down a treat too!
We are already looking forward to next year!
The summer show season draws to a close with the lovely Aylsham Show – our young dun Bull Waveney Harnser was Reserve Champion Bull in the Traditional Native Beef Breed Class and his dun half sister Waveney Coshie was Reserve Champion Female in the Native Breed Class with the pair of them taking a red ribbon in the Pairs Class – once again the sun shone and a lovely day was had by all!
Some of our herd of pedigree registered Belted Galloways again attended the Royal Norfolk Show – after last years rain it was lovely to get some sun. The beltie gang did well again with our heifer Red Zoe winning the junior heifer class and our young Beltie Bull Waveney Harnser coming second to his dad in the senior bull class and taking Reserve Male Champion and Reserve Norfolk Special prizes.
Always a fantastic day out and this year was no different the sun shone and there were lots of lovely locals foods and drinks to try and buy – including our own 30 day hung Pasture for Life Certified Belted Galloway Beef and Free Range Smoked Goose.
We had a great day with the Belties at the lovely South Suffolk Show – we took two of our 2017 heifers Delphi and Zoe, older heifer Waveney Coshie and our young bull Waveney Harnser. So two dun belties, one red and one black and white…the united colours of team Waveney Beltie!

The snow has been very scenic but Burgh Road is closed with drifts so we are not open this week !
We were thrilled to feature in EDP 24 farming pages today about Carr Farm becoming the first Pasture for Life certified farm in Norfolk. Cows and us all look a bit bedraggled….they couldn’t have picked a worse day for photos…but the belties enjoyed the extra attention!!
