Drumforber doubles calf numbers in four year

SHARING OPTIONS: Andrew MacKay s May calving cows being fed out on the hill at his farm Greenvale in Caithness. In 2016, the Gammies registered 32 calves across three different breeds/crosses. Come 2020, with the expansion plans well under way, they registered 74 calves from just one breed/cross. There are more than double the number of calves now being born on the farm. In 2018, Andrew decided to simplify his suckler herd and concentrate on only Limousin genetics, backing his own pedigree breeding. All calves born are either pure Limousin or Limousin-cross, with the crosses mainly coming from either Limousin-cross dams or Simmental-Fleckveih dams. This has simplified the system for Andrew and allowed him to concentrate on the animals that he feels suit the system best.

Farm Profit Programme: 2020, a year to remember

This year’s highlight? The Stirling bull sales back in February were a real highlight. We sold bulls well to £13,000, £12,000 and £7,000, with one being a reserve junior champion. Anything new done on the farm this year? We bought Fleckvieh heifers from Germany to receive embryo recipients. We also built a footbath for the cattle. Anything you got wrong on the farm in 2020? We missed the weather window for first cut which meant it was later. We could have sold barley for a higher price, but also could have sold it for much less too. How has COVID-19 affected the business?
