A little post-TB test fuss for our Galloway girls down at Mottey Meadows this morning 🐮❤️

Small native breeds like our Galloways are a really important part of our regenerative farming system – helping us look after the land, build soil health, store carbon and make the farm more resilient to drought and changing weather!

And there’s a bit of history here too – our family has farmed Mottey Meadows sustainably for well over 100 years. 🌱

Happy cows, healthy soils and farming with nature. 💚

A new chapter for Rookery Farm 🌱🐄
We’re transitioning towards regenerative farming — focusing on healthier soil, stronger grass, happier cattle, and a more sustainable future for the land we work every day.

Looking forward to another fantastic event hosted by The Hartley 🥳

Just a reminder for Saturday -

🍔Food will be served from 2pm -8:30pm.
🍺There will be an outdoor bar serving everything other than cask ale. Plenty of cask ale inside.
💳It is card only on the outside bar.
🪑We’ve ordered a load of extra benches to try and get as many as we can seated. We’ve got rentals coming as well. You are welcome to bring any camping chairs or anything with you if you wish.

A plea from us -

🚙The car park will be closed, an alternative option will be sign posted. Please use the car parking provided kindly by the Foxall Family Rookery Farm and don’t use the kerbs through the village. Tractors couldnt pass through the village last year and we had complaints that residents were struggling to get in and out. If we have complaints again it could threaten us being able to hold these events in future under our licence.

Spot the odd one out 👀🐄

Moments like this say everything about how we farm. From day one, our cattle are handled with care, patience, and constant human interaction. It’s why they’re calm, curious, and happy to share their space- making it safer and easier for us to look after them properly 👌

For us, it’s not just about farming - it’s about building relationships & knowing the personality of each animal ☺️
When animals feel secure, they thrive, and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of 🐮 💓 Our cattle really are part of the family!

The Foxall children are already cow-mad and determined to be part of the future here 👩🏼‍🌾 🧑🏼‍🌾

No matter the challenges that come our way, we know the farm is in passionate, caring hands for generations to come 🫶🏼🤩🌱🐮🚜
