Halmyre Urr Ayrshires

Halmyre Urr Ayrshires Halmyre Urr Ayrshires are milked twice a day to produce creamy milk which is sold to Grahams Dairies and also used to make Glen Urr Ice Cream.

The herd consists of 170 milking cows plus followers and cattle are regularly shown at local and national shows. Breeding in the last 15 years has included Red and White bloodlines with a view to creating a more productive and marketable dairy cow, aiming to keep the percentage at about 50% Ayrshire. The farm itself consists of 375 acres (152 hectares) with 160 acres of silage taken for a first cu

t, with 120 acres second cut and 50 acres usually baled as a third cut. A further 50 acres of spring barley is harvested as whole-crop for two years and then reseeded.

๐Ÿšœ Friendly heads up, folks! ๐Ÿšœ

Slurry will be getting spread on the fields today and possibly into tomorrow, depending on weather.
As you might expect, it can get a bitโ€ฆ fragrant! ๐Ÿ’จ
If youโ€™ve got washing out or windows open, nowโ€™s a good time to bring things in or close up for a while.

Thanks for your understanding โ€” itโ€™s all part of keeping the land productive! ๐ŸŒฑ
