    Hubbard Chicks

    Day Old Hubbard Chicks - next collection date 20th February 2025

    Hubbards are a hybrid meat bird, ideally suited to free ranging.

    A great choice for the smallholder wishing to rear their own birds for the table.

    Slower growing than most commercial strains - finishing at around 14wks.  We find they produce a good, meaty table bird, weighing in from 2.5 - 3.5kg oven ready.

    Hubbard chicks are usually available in March and June.

    Next be availability:

    March 2026. 

    (exact date to be confirmed)

    To reserve chicks, please send us a message.

    We often have weaners available for sale.

    We keep both Oxford Sandy & Black, and Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs.

    Both breeds are highly suited to smallholdings, for free range pork production.

    Our pigs are purebred, but not pedigree.

    We keep a closed herd of healthy pigs, with breeding sows vaccinated against erysipelas and clostridial disease.

    Our next litters are due in October, and we'd expect to have weaners  available December 2025.

    We keep a pedigree herd of Shetland Cattle, and usually have weaned calves available for sale in the Autumn.

    Shetland Cattle are a wonderful, dual purpose breed.  They thrive on a grass-only diet, easily rearing their calves with milk to spare!

    The beef produced is fabulous, well marbled, and delicious.

    We find them to be lovely, gentle cattle - very easy to handle and a pleasure to have around.

    We run a closed herd, with a strict herd health program to control worm/fluke, and all cattle are fully vaccinated against clostridial disease.  Our herd is certified BVD free. 

    If you are interested in hearing what we have for sale in the Autumn, please get in touch.  This page will be updated in due course.
