Sheep farmer, Andy Offer on the farming business

Rams off on holiday!

November 19th 2011

Our rams are in demand - both now being lent out to friends to use on their smaller flocks. It's nice to be able to help others - just as we were in the early days.

Rams put their feet up

The rams are now finished for another year. They''ve now got 11 months before they do it all again - hopefully.

Unfriendly tups, injuries and the food festival

October 17th 2011

Sheep can be dangerous things - especially at this time of year. Bruises and damaged wrists are bad enough any time but when we're trying to get ready for the Hereford Food Festival they can be a real pain - literally.

Time to put the rams out

October 3rd 2011

Working very closely with nature makes the seasons pass so quickly. It seems like lambing has only just finished and we're already planning for next year.

Glorious weather - for decorating?

Andy shuns the beautiful weather for a days decorating and experiences the satisfaction of a tidy desk.

Only one person came to our Flower and Produce show who wasn't a competitor. These events won't survive unless they are supported.

Getting organised - or not!

September 1st 2011

Life would be so much simpler if we were organised. Or would it really?

Some rest and relaxation??

August 27th 2011

Having almost caught up with the farm work, we're having a 'rest' this weekend - with the grandchildren.

Andy wonders if being mistaken for Richard Briers is a compliment
