On Saturday 16th of August 2025, we said goodbye to our beautiful Devil at the age of 16 and a half. If you knew devil, you would’ve known just how amazing he was, from joining in on our piglet races, to playing “the big bad wolf” in our story times. Devil was a character and will be greatly missed.

if you have any memories or stories about Devil we would love to hear them ❤️

rest in peace our beautiful boy, you will be greatly missed

We often get asked “what do you do with your calves?”

with hand raising at least 1-2 calves per year it’s a valid question. so what does happen to them?

we have 2 options with our calves. keep or sell. for the most part 80% of our calves are kept! we work very closely with local adjustment properties and pay to keep our cows there, letting them live out their lives in a large paddock in a herd with our other hand raised cows.

so what about the other 20%? we sell them! majority of our calves come from dairy farms so they can be used for their milk (once they are of age), people like to either keep them as pets or have their own milk on tap!

so what about the boys? they all leave our farm as steers, so what can they be used for? companions. some people just want pet cows, steers make great companions for cows that you don’t want to breed and bottle raised calves make great pets due to how friendly they are.

the photos above are of Monarch, she was a hand raised calf here on the farm back in 2022! Monarch is expecting to welcome her first calf into the work in the middle of August
