Next time someone tells you that animal based agriculture is damaging to the environment and wildlife, tell them the story of us. The year we moved into the farm, there had been no cattle here all summer, there were no flies and therefore few birds. Now the cows are here we have cow pats which are great insect habitat, which in turn are great food for birds and bats and chicks. In a quick ten minute wander today, I saw robins, great tits, blue tits, house sparrows, tree sparrows, one of our woodpeckers, pied wagtails, swallows and blackbirds. Yesterday I found three feldgling wrens on the track up to the top field. We have red kites, buzzards and a peregrine falcon that hunts the pigeons. Animal based agriculture is vital to maintain the habitats these birds call home. We are just lucky to be able to be here and share it with them for a while. #welshfarming #pastureforlife #feedthesoil #pasturefedbeef #regenerativeagriculture #localfood #familyfarm #birdlife
