Transition Farmers Rachel and Richard Risdon: Grass-based dairying in Devon
Manage episode 306328284 series 2963838
Transition Farmers Rachel and Richard Risdon run a grass-based herd of 300 Friesian cross Jersey dairy cows at Bramford Speke, near Exeter, Devon.
The herd is rotationally grazed and yield about 4,900 litres and 452kg of milk solids from about 650kg of concentrate.
Grass is topped up with cake when necessary, focusing on having cows out grazing from calving in February until late November.
The couple have three main goals: reducing their carbon footprint, understanding new agri-environment schemes, and recruiting good staff.
