Scottish beef and sheep farmer, Graham Lofthouse of Bankhouse Farm, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss his mixed farming system.

The farm is located 30km south of Edinburgh and is 200-300m above sea level. The average rainfall is around 1,000mm. There are 470 ewes on the farm and 84 suckler cows.

Graham discusses how the sucker herd is managed from birth to weaning. Breeding and genetics is very important on the farm and Graham outlines the breeding policy.

Graham also discusses the cattle performance of the stock that were finished on the farm and compares them to the cattle that were sold as stores in 2023.

Maximising weight gain from grass is essential with Graham describing the paddock system and leader follower system that he operates.
