Clive Richardson - Breeder

Clive & Jenny Richardson along with their son William farm on the North Cornish coast overlooking Padstow.

Farming 600 acres temporary grass keep is taken locally, 200 acres of this being arable grown on thin soils.

Livestock is the main enterprise operating a closed flock system of:

190 recorded Meatlinc ewes to produce 60 - 70 shearling rams for sale each year mainly in Cornwall and Devon but also into the South of England.

1000 commercial Meatlinc x Roussin ewes are put to a Meatlinc ram all being finished for Tesco's Finest Lamb range.

To compliment the sheep a suckler herd of 30 Simmental cows with their followers are also kept.  

Even though the farm is exposed to Atlantic conditions we have an excellent reputation for producing commercially reared first class animals.
