The main focus on the 324 hectare farm of Wyn and Dylan Jones is the finishing of dairy bred cattle for beef, but sheep are also over-wintered on the farm. With up to 500 cattle on the farm at a given time, the main finishing diet is a TMR utilising home-grown barley and with red clover silage acting as the protein source. Cattle are finished around 28-30 months of age, spending an average of 150 days on the farm.
