Brookbora Jersey’s has been developing and improving the genetics of the herd for 60 years, with his father and grandfather at the helm, but after the recent death of his dad Robert, it’s now Daniel Bacon who is continuing that legacy whilst also forging his own path on the farm. In this chat he shares openly about his time as a nutritionist and his love for fully feeding cows, how an incredible spreadsheet helps them breed with confidence and see them as Number 2 BPI Jersey herd in the country, he shares the changes to the farming system in recent times trying to maintain prioritizing the important things in life, and we chat about the incredible community that has rallied around them since the death of Robert.
