Hillside Beef and Lamb

100% Pasture fed Sheep, Traditional Hereford and Dexter Beef cattle, farmed on a regenerative, high nature value farm in Monmouthshire.

We keep Pedigree Dexter Beef Cattle and traditional Welsh sheep breeds on our small farm near Abergavenny. They are reared on grass alone, with no concentrates to boost growth rates. Then we take them to the abattoir ourselves, they are expertly butchered and packed and then we deliver them to our customers, in and around South East Wales.

We are taking orders for our Beef delivery next weekend. This is one of our homebred Herefords. Pasture for Life certified and never seen any concentrate feed, he's been on our farm from birth.
We've sold out of a lot of cuts,
But we can still take orders for Sirloin, Rump and Flat Iron Steaks. Skirt and, Silverside, Topside joints also still available as well as mince of course.
We're sending the cutting list to the butcher this evening, so let us know if you'd like something specific, and we'll add you to our delivery route.
Thank you

Makes me wonder how often this was going on before we had the cctv. A dog off lead comes into our yard, actually up into our garden as well and attacked a chicken under Jessica's trampoline. Chased another one into our barn, before the owner catches up with it picks it up and walks off leaving another of the chickens on the yard. No attempt to let us know what's happened. Just a quick exit carrying the dog by the collar. I actually saw him on the front field before I'd seen the CCTV and he told me the dog had slipped off its lead and got away from them. Then he said he hadn't realised there was a farm here, then they walked this way all the time, and nothing like this had ever happened before. Whenever I speak to anyone who's dog has chased or attacked our sheep, cattle or chickens it's always the first time it's ever happened.
Please keep your dog on a lead on farmland, or it could be you that has to make up a load of lies and has to say, "it's never happened before" to someone who's animals your dog has just attacked.

We're hosting a thing. It's being run by PFL, but it's here. You can book a ticket over there. It should be good, it would be nice to see you here.

At the end of August I posted a picture of our last batch of chicks for 2026. Yesterday I had a call from our chick supplier Simon, saying, "I am meeting you tomorrow aren't I...........?"
Anyway to cut a long story short, they were already hatched and I had been thinking, maybe we could have done one more this year.
So today. This is our final batch of chicks for 2026.

We've got two chickens left available for collection off the farm or delivery.They can be collected anytime by appointment. Julia is out delivering tomorrow, so we can add you into the run.
They're big birds. They've been run free range in the orchard behind the farmhouse, with daily moves and fed Organic feed, but we are not a certified organic farm. They're £11/kg
We're also taking orders for our first lot of 2026 lamb for delivery the weekend of the 3rd October. But if you want anything specific, you'll need to let us know so we can let the butcher know.
Thank you
Ben and Julia

A call to any farmers following our page.
For the last couple of years, we have been in a business discussion group funded by Farming Connect. It's been a brilliant thing to be involved with. That and the grassland group has changed the way we farm probably more than anything else we've done or been involved with.
This year, Farming Connect have limited the numbers who can join and as we joined more recently we along with a couple of others have been cut from the group. Last in, first out. I have spoken to Rhys who has been the facilitator in the group and asked if we could do something outside farming connect. Bottom line is we need ten farms to make it work and we currently have three. If you would be interested in coming into the group and joining the discussion. Please message me. I'm going to try and get funding for it, but it will probably be outside farming connect. So you won't need to be in farming connect or even in Wales really, I don't think.
It's a really worthwhile exercise and it will make you look at your farm business completely differently. I think we were doing 4 days a year, about 5 or 6 hours off the farm. It's not a huge time commitment. I really would like to keep it going, but I need some others to join me. If you don't want to do it, but you think someone you know might be interested please pass them onto me.
Cheers all.

A lovely little package arrived this week from Nofence UK. A polo, a gillet, a pen, a couple of stickers and a notebook, which Jessica immediately decided were for her. Why does a nine year old need so many notebooks and stickers? 🤣
But also some exciting news about some new collars that are coming out soon for the cattle. A whopping ten year warranty and half the weight of the current collars, with an integrated battery. I wonder if there's a new sheep/goat collar in the pipeline too.
These collars have made such a difference to the way we can manage grazing here, I really think they're brilliant. I'd love to get the sheep onto them next.

Our final batch of chicks for 2026 arrived yesterday.
It's been an interesting trial this year and definitely, something we're keen to continue with next year. The improvement in soil health after they have travelled across the ground has been quite amazing and visible even in this very hot dry summer we've had. The first batch of 2027 should be with us at the end of February, and ready to go out at the end of March.
Thank you to everyone who has bought a chicken/chickens, or helped out with it as a new project.
We will still have chicken available to order from now until just into December probably.
