Belated Happy New Year!

Let's hope that 2024 will be kind to everyone.

There are still four turkeys strolling around the yard here at Windshiel, all having escaped Christmas.  They have been enjoying the sunshine on offer the last few days, as have we. It's so welcome after what seemed like months of rain and sloshing around in mud!  Although the cold, crisp weather provides it's own challenges, most notably frozen water troughs.  Water has to be taken out to the livestock everyday in this weather.  Another issue is getting the electric fence posts in & out of the ground, to move the fence each morning for our cattle who are strip grazing kale and turnips.  Still it could be a lot worse and we could be having to cope with snow, which so far (touch wood) we have avoided.

We're looking forward to the next market at Portobello on Saturday 3rd February 2024.  We'll have fresh mutton, lamb, pork, bacon & gammon available to buy along with frozen beef.  Meat orders for collection at the market or for local & national delivery can be emailed to seb@windshiel.co.uk.  A link to available products is on our home page.  If you're in the area, come along and say hello.
