We don't just sell milk . .

You might think that being Dairy Farmers that we only sell milk. And while it is true that we now don't have any sheep, and our regular income is from Dairy Farmers of Britain, we also sell a considerable quantity of pedigree stock. Over the past twelve months we have sold all ages from weaned bull calves (to a local farmer to be reared as beef), heifer calves (to another Shorthorn breeder), cows and calves to a young farmer just starting out on his own, cows in calf to Southern Ireland, young heifers to a local organic farm (experimenting with coloured breeds), a cow in milk to a smallholder as a "house cow", an in calf cow to an Open Farm in East Yorkshire, as well newly calved cows and heifers at the Shorthorn Society's twice yearly sales.

So wherever you are - look out of the car window at the cows in the field, and you may see some Strickley cows, and remember the future's not Black and White - but Red, Red and White, White and Roan!

If you're visiting either of these places, look out for the Dairy Shorthorns - they are almost certainly from Strickley
