Farming →
Urlar Farm is a productive, consciously managed enterprise. We farm sheep and cattle as an important part of the diversity of what we do. We feel farming and conservation can (and do) work hand-in-glove to create a rich and complete ecosystem.
Urlar Farm is home to around 300 Ewes and 30 Belted Galloway cattle. For us, farming these animals allows us to maintain long-set traditions of land stewardship while also contributing to soil health and vegetation management.
Our Belted Galloway cows are always on the move, and stay out on the land all year round.
We're proud of our stock of Belted Galloways. This heritage breed is small and hardy – an ideal combination for living in the Urlar hills through the seasons. Their grazing contributes to regeneration here, disturbing the soil to improve its health. Grazing our cows in woodland areas also contributes to the vitality of the forest floor.
