Cairngaver Farm

Brian & Lynne McCracken

Following my presentation at the European Dairy Farmers Congress in Belfast I received a number of queries regarding the system of farming we have chosen. I have therefore decided to place some general information on the web to answer some of these queries:

Calf Rearing - Information on labour efficient New Zealand style batch calf rearing systems.
Heat Detection & Breeding Policy - Information on tail painting and fertility programme.
Discussion Groups - How discussion groups work and what makes a good discussion group
Extended Grazing & Grass Budgeting - How we operate a grass based system.
Spring Calving v Autumn Calving - Why we chose Spring Calving.
