TURNOUT 🥳
The best day of the farming year Nothing beats letting them out for the first time… listen to that excitement 🐄💚
#FirstGrazing #DairyFarm #SpringTurnout

POV: calving assistance. Knowing when the right time to help is and calmly getting the job done #farming #farmlife

Great to represent NFUCymru at the St David’s Day reception in Cardiff hosted by the Wales Office

A chance to catch up with Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens to briefly discuss opportunities & volatilities for Welsh Farming 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Weather gets 0/10 for effort 😖☔️💦

Happy Sunday everyone #hag1

This week marks a moment of change. I say goodbye to an incredible NFU Cymru President and step into the big footprints he leaves behind, alongside a new teammate, Paul Williams. Together, we’re ready to stand up and speak out for our NFU Cymru members #wearewelshfarming

2025 nearly done, all the best for 2026
New year, same cows… still judging my life choices 🐄😅 #farming

When the bed is so comfy your brain is officially switched off 😴
#farmlife

The end of a long, cold Christmas Day, my limbs are actually aching from the cold. But one last job before home. Making sure all animals are safe & sound is key. Every day of the Year. Moments like this make it all worthwhile. #farmlife

Chasing cow feed back to the cows 🐄➡️😅
They push it away, I push it back. Teamwork
#farming

Milking, but faster. Much faster. 🐄💨
#teamdairy

Damp old day, but at least the cows are happy!
By tonight there will be enough milk in the tank to feed nearly 5k households for 1 day 🥛
Through the lens: 24hrs on a dairy farm 💪
#farming

Today’s discussion is about who should drive the tractor. Technically it should be me because my feet can reach the pedals. But apparently I never called ‘shotgun’ 🙄 #farmdog

Electric moment today with NFU Cymru at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair. Friends, families, colleagues — all dropping everything to stand as one. When those cards went up, the whole ring stopped. What’s happening to rural Wales is wrong. We’re not backing down. #stopthefamilyfarmtax

Annual bTB test this week
Sadly didn’t go as planned
7 cows had inconclusive results, including our very special Winnie
Retest in 60 days
Not a good day for the team 👎
Meanwhile here’s Winnie from earlier this year, doing what she does best - Telling the Farming Story #MyTBStory

Too many platforms, not enough time 😖

Tonight’s milking was brought to you by 3.333 people #squadgoals
Who needs fireworks when you can get covered in iodine & soaked with the high volume hose 😬 #milkingtime

Spot has been putting her mud pack on this weekend 🙄

Great to see the cows still enjoying the grazing season, probably because the drought meant they didn’t really have a grazing season 😩

Normally there’s some serious sulking to stay in the sheds by now 😜

#farm24

Tango’s Sunday is all go 😜 #farmdog

Supporting Food & Farming event at Bluestone, in collaboration with Welsh Government, for #ClimateChangeWeek. We spoke to over 60 school children about the environmental & nutritional impact of the food they eat. Everything in proportion & enjoy local where possible 💪

Girls happy to be going in for milking this afternoon 😎
They’ve been enjoying the lush grass & cool breeze today
#farm24

The CCTV flagged up an early morning visitor this morning 🦉 😍
#farmlife

Another classic from the dog 🐶🙄
#farming #bankholiday

Watching the sun go down on the baked grass
The situation is looking very bleak for those farms with lack of fodder for now & for winter 🙃
Hoping by this time next week we will all see some rain 🍀
#drought25

Show Day yesterday at Vale of Glamorgan Agricultural Show🏆 🐄

Reserve Champion for Ruby

Best Heifer for Daisy

Satan 😬, along with handler Alicia, got Best Handler 💪

Plus debuts for 3 youngsters who wanted to have ago at leading a calf & did a superb job

Great day for Team Goldsland ⭐️
#rurallife

Saturday afternoon going in for milking

Ground looking seriously dry and burnt now. Surely rain must be due soon 😫

#drought25

Today is #Farm24 - a national effort to tell the farming story

Here’s some pics of my day milking cows, checking youngstock, watering veg & so much more

Being a farmer is the best job in the world, it’s totally addictive #farming

1st cut silage: 20% down on yield

2nd cut silage: 25% down on yield

3rd cut silage: already 2 weeks late, 100% down on yield ⚠️

Not sure what this is going to mean for winter 😫

#drought2025

#scorchio
Grass & crops really starting to burn now. With limited moisture in the ground there’s few reserves to beat the heat
#FoodSecurity

What your countryside looks like & where your food comes from are intrinsically linked & incredibly beautiful 😍 #farming24 #WelshFarmingWeek

Open Farm Sunday complete ✔️
Huge thanks to all 900 visitors 🤯 for their support & enormous thanks to my incredible team for pulling it off once again
