Edinvale Farm 🌱🐂

🌱 Delighted to publish my @NuffieldFarming report: Enhanced Meat Eating Quality from 100% Pasture & Forage Fed Systems. Key takeaways: • Keep cattle growing • Stress matters • Compensatory growth hurts MEQ • UK must measure & reward quality nuffieldscholar.org/reports/gb/202…

Some of my life choices are questionable at the best of times but this is new time low! Dreading seeing what this field looks like in the morning 😬. Now where's the gate out of here??! 🤪 #Top80PercentFarming

@pbl1972 They have decided to squat in this one and they aren't particularly house proud!

@EdinvaleFarm Your cows have their own house?!

Dates for online delivery of the #EmpowerAg GRIP course are now live 🙌 Any retweets would be greatly appreciated to help get this in front of as many people in the farming community as possible. 😊 It’s financially supported by the #FrankParkinsonAgriculturalTrust to make it accessible to all. tickettailor.com/events/empower…

Now we're cooking! 22 day dry aged @PastureForLife certified beef from @EdinvaleFarm cooked in an @OoniHQ woodchip pizza oven. We think one of the best ways yet for cooking a steak.

@johnmpringle1 You'll be absolutely right on that one. Guess at least they are still buying the product rather than going abroad. I was really just taking the crass opportunity to poo stir by saying I don't think fat animals should go near a mart!!

@EdinvaleFarm I think it might be fanciful thinking Jock that it is about MEQ more so to take the sting out of the trade !

Cant see the whole article as behind paywall but if headline is as reads, think this would be a good move for MEQ. No animal should go from mart direct to slaughter IMO. Reports of factories introducing 30-day rule for mart-bought cattle share.google/tAdaM0zxktTM9s…

@JakeWolki Like all these things Jacob there will be advantages and disadvantages but generally we are not adapting as fast as the climate. And the variance is pretty challenging. By this time last year we had had 880mm of rain. So far this year we've had 438mm

@EdinvaleFarm Is this rising temp better for farming in the UK?

To all you old buggers that keep wanging on about 1976 😂

💬 Got a question about menopause? Ask it now! 🎙️ Dr Heather Currie MBE will be joining our Blether Together podcast, and we want YOUR questions. 👩👨 This isn’t just for those experiencing menopause - partners, family & colleagues welcome.

Don't think I have ever seen this completely dry up. Amazed our water tanks are full!

Not having any crop to worry about, I have quite enjoyed the summer. Have to admit now though that we do need some rain and I'm not convinced we are just going to get o'er muckle any time soon.

Going through this wee plantation counting empty tubes. Will replant this back end but there is a wee bit of competition that might need to be sorted first!

Such a good programme - cannot recommend it enough

Mal seeing out our straw bailing for the year. Up to this point he has only done wee stints of bailing, but whilst we were busy this afternoon he hightailed it off down to Duffus to get going. Awesome job and just goes to show it's never too late to learn new skills.

Fantastic to welcome @wwf_uk @PastureForLife, @ArianeBurgessHI & @Douglas4Moray to Edinvale. A lot of chat around farming for nature, support and barriers, Good Food Nation, local procurement in a wide ranging discussion. Privilege to host on our wee patch of dirt.
