🐮🌾 Christ Church Academy Visits — April & May at Burton Beef! 🌾🐮

We’ve had two brilliant visits from Christ Church Academy over April and May — and what a fantastic pair of groups they were.

The children got properly stuck into farm life:

🐄 Meeting the cows and learning how we care for them all year round

🥚 Collecting hens’ eggs from our free‑roaming girls

🧈 Making butter the old‑fashioned way

🌱 Planting seeds and talking about how food grows

🚜 Looking at real farm machinery and discovering what each machine does

✏️ Chalking farm pictures on our giant blackboard — some top‑tier tractor art appeared

Both groups were curious, polite, and full of brilliant questions. It’s always a joy to welcome local schools and help children understand where their food comes from.

📣 School visits are fully funded for schools — but spaces are limited.

🐄 Kirkburton First School – On the farm!

Last week we welcomed two brilliant groups from Kirkburton First School onto the farm. They got stuck into real jobs, asked cracking questions, and saw first‑hand how good food is produced 🌾.

The children:

🧈 Churned their own butter — cream, elbow‑grease, and plenty of giggles

🥚 Collected eggs — learning how to handle the hens gently and spot which hens lay which colours

🌱 Planted seeds — taking home their own pots

🐮 Met the cows — and learned about feed, bedding, daily care, and why healthy cattle matter for healthy food

🚜 Explored farm machinery — tractors, feeders, and the kit that keeps a working farm running

✏️ Chalked farm pictures on our massive blackboard — some brilliant tractor 🚜 cow 🐄 and chicken 🐔 art appeared!

It’s exactly why we open the gates: to help local children understand the land around them and the work that goes into producing honest, traceable food.

📣 If your school would like to arrange a visit, we’d love to hear from you. Visits are fully funded for school groups, but spaces are limited.

We’ve put new signs up around the farm following the updated Dogs on Leads law. Thank you to everyone who’s already helping keep livestock safe — it really does make a difference.

With the avian flu housing being lifted on 9th April, a quick reminder that hens are classed as livestock, and ours have access to all our fields. Please keep dogs on a lead anywhere livestock may be present, even if you can’t see them straight away.

We appreciate everyone doing their bit to keep the countryside safe for animals, walkers, and neighbours alike.

🐂 Scene of the day on Moor Lane:
Our stock bull Wesley strutted out onto the fresh spring grass like he’d just been released onto the starting line at a racecourse. Head up, tail swishing, full of himself and absolutely convinced the world was watching.

He took two steps, did a little hop, and then set off in a slow-motion gallop that suggested he was aiming for the Cheltenham Gold Cup rather than the top of the field. The cows were delighted to be out… but Wesley? Wesley thought he was the main event.

🌱 A big day at Burton Beef!

The cows have finally been let out of their winter housing and are back on the fresh spring grass — kicking, bucking, and loving every second. It’s one of our favourite sights of the year and a proper sign that spring has arrived in Highburton.

🐕 And now they’re out, this is a really important reminder:
The Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Act 2025 is now in force (from 16 March 2026). This new law brings in much tougher rules and penalties for dog owners walking near livestock.

Here’s what it means for anyone using the public footpaths through our fields:

⚠️ **KEEP DOGS ON A SHORT LEAD**
This is now a legal requirement if livestock are in the field or even nearby.

🚫 It is an offence if a dog:
- Chases or attacks livestock.
- Causes distress — this includes running loose or barking.

🔒 Penalties are now much tougher:
- Fines are unlimited.
- Police have the power to seize dogs.

Even the friendliest dog can cause panic, injury, or pregnancy loss in cattle — especially now the cows and calves are freshly turned out and still settling.

Thank you for helping us protect our animals and keep our fields safe for everyone who enjoys it.

Here’s to happy cows, greener fields, and a community that looks out for each other 🌿🐄

🐮 Next batch of proper grass‑fed Burton Beef isn’t far off. Join our mailing list to be the first to know!!!!🐮

While the weather does its worst outside, the girls and boys are in here living their best lives — deep straw beds, steady feed, and the sort of contented chewing that says, “Aye, we’re alright, thanks.”

There’s something about winter housing that feels honest. No frills, no filters — just good cattle, kept well, waiting out the cold months until the grass comes back.

And tucked between all the mucking out, bedding up, and dodging the occasional flying tail‑swish, we’ve realised our next batch of proper grass‑fed Burton Beef isn’t far off.

If you want to know the moment it’s ready — before we shout about it on Facebook — hop onto our mailing list. That’s where we share delivery dates first, straight from the barn to your inbox.
