We've got some fantastic premium features on The Yorkshire Post this weekend - if we do say so ourselves! First up is our Farm of the Week by CHRISBERRY50
was on its fourth attempt at landing in tricky conditions and got it wrong, resulting in the loss of the crew and my great grandad, great grandma and great uncle who were in the farmhouse. My great aunt Betty survived and tried to help but was badly injured. My granddad Noel survived as he was outside checking the stock.”
“It’s an option in our Countryside Stewardship agreement that will hopefully also bring additional revenue to the farm while only costing schools a short bus journey. We grow cereal crops and have a pedigree Limousin beef suckler herd and poultry, so there is a lot that students can learn about the farm.The Hildreths' farmhouse was badly damaged in 1944 when a Halifax bomber crashed into it - killing David's great-grandparents and one of their sons.
“Our beef is totally traceable as we take everything through from start to finish. It’s something that we really can control and shout about. We only started with our new meatboxes last week.“We posted what we were doing on our Facebook account to our fellow Rufforth residents and we sold out immediately. People around here have always known what we do and they can see what we do. We like to show others that we look after our animals and care about them too.
Grasslands Farm runs to 170 acres and features a suckler herd of 45 Limousin cows with around 120 cattle on at any one time.“We are a lowland grassland mostly livestock farm with a suckler herd and with 35 acres of cereals. It is quite heavy working land and dad has always said it is called Grasslands Farm for a reason, because it is not prime arable land. We grow wheat to sell on, barley as cattle feed. We have temporary grass, silage land and further pasture.
“Dad has quite often taken the homebred trophy. There are not so many that do what we do, taking cattle right through from start to finish and there is great pride in that. “Dad had milked cows for 50 years and mum and I thought he might struggle to adapt but his passion is cattle whether beef or dairy and he moved straight on to the Limousins. We already used them with dairy herd.David never saw himself as an automatic shoe-in for the farm, in the way of many farmers’ sons.
