At Bassingthorpe we have always strived to work with Strong Cow Families with Type and Production.

Cattle & Embryos are always available.

The farm is located in North Lincolnshire and includes 150 cows.

Interesting facts about the farm at Bassingthorpe include:-

640 acres 380 acres arable 200 acres grass 60 acres maize

Herd fed a mixer wagon ration, incorporating grass and maize silage, a protein blend, beet pulp, rolled wheat, and a pea and bean meal. Out of parlour feeders provide top up

Twice a day milking, with a herd average (ending Sept 2008) of 10,781kg in 305 days at 4.00% fat and 3.16% protein

Sire selection is based on using the best bulls available, with limited use of young bulls.

Our own cow families have bred well, especially the Desdemona's and Pauline's which have seen embryos sold to Canada, and bulls enter AI here in the UK

We are indebted to the help we get from our Herdsman Chris Frow and would also like to thank Colin Orr who helps with the rationing of the cows
