Ever heard of a chicken tractor? This is our new trial model chicken tractor — a mobile home for our hens. As we move them across the paddock, the hens feast on insects and weeds while naturally fertilising the soil with their manure. We move the tractor weekly to provide the hens with fresh pasture, keeping the land healthy and the hens happy. It’s a simple, productive way of caring for the paddock while raising strong, healthy birds.

Pumpy is our beautiful Limousin bull. We have had him since he was 3 years old. He now weighs a ton and barely fits into our yard for weighing. His days are usually spent looking after the calves while the girls go out feeding. He is a great dad. Bulls are usually unpredictable and very dangerous. While we are always cautious around him, he has never given us a reason to feel unsafe. He has the best temperament we have ever seen in a bull.
