Hello everyone,

As there isn’t, to my knowledge anyway, a Thriplow Facebook page, I thought I would email out our Thriplow Farms Annual Report for 2016. It’s fairly long this year, but should be understandable for non-farmer types as well. Click on the link at the end to read the rest. Have a good Christmas,

So, the first year without any cattle of my own – and life was a lot less stressful. But that didn’t mean we had no cows, as for the second year a bunch of small dairy cattle turned up to graze for the summer. And to be honest, they did terribly. We can do the post mortem a couple of pages further on, but to begin with everything was poor, only to look much better later on, and then finally the end result was a disappointment. This would also be a pretty good way of describing the rest of the farm this year.
