About the Holding
Noel’s Farm is a seventy-acre farm in Crecora. It has a central farm roadway with easy access to paddocks on both sides of the roadway.
They contract rear Jersey-cross heifer calves and in-calf Jersey cross heifers. Before Noel got into Contract rearing, he was a dairy farmer for 37 years.
Noel has been a farmer for over 35 years and in that time, he has developed many skills such as adaptability, interpersonal skills, time management, and organizational skills.
The farm has some great beech and horse chestnut trees that are very old, as it was a central roadway which is now great for going for long walks.
