The farmer took over the farm from his parents in 1997. He is involved in beef cattle breeding such as Angus, Simmental and Charolais.
For the last few years, he's been rearing only beef cattle and selling it to abattoirs. Previously there were also fattening cattle but at some point breeding became unprofitable and a lot of investment would have to be made in the farm premises.
The farmer buys cattle in weights of 250-350 kg. The cost of 1 head is, depending on cattle prices, last year it was around 787-900 EUR per head. He's selling it in weights of 650-750 kg with prices around 1 687 - 2 024 EUR depending on average prices.
Mr Andrew prepares his own feed and buys supplementary feed mixes. He is almost self-sufficient when it comes to feeding. The cattle are sold to the FoodService abattoir, depending on the price offered.
A cousin and brother, sometimes a neighbour, help on the farm. The family helps with the raspberry (1 hectare of different varieties) harvest that he also grows in addition to cattle breeding, however, those are on sale only to direct buyers (friends, regular customers and markets).
Producing fodder for animals means he also grows some cereals. In this case, those are: 1ha of maize, 3,5 ha of wheat, barley and rye, and 3,4ha are pastures and meadows. In the rotation, there can be found cover crops such as lupins. Straw is returned to the field as manure.
The machinery park consists of:
- URSUS c-330 tractor
- RENAULT MASTER lorry (for transport)
- plough
- reapper
- mower
- trowel
- rake
- baler
- spreader
- cereal seeder
In the future, the farmer plans to increase the raspberry acreage and modernise the plantation.
This financing from HeavyFinance will help the farmer with the purchase of 25-30 heads of beef cattle.
