Watch a live halter-training demonstration showcasing the close bond between the farmer and his cattle. Discover what a year in the life of a cow entails - including calving, grazing and winter care - and how these heritage breeds help to maintain the natural landscape of the estate, and supply our cafe with high-welfare, sustainably produced meat. Whether you're a farming enthusiast or just curious about countryside heritage, this is a rare chance to meet with our expert and experience these incredible animals first hand.
