Cattle & Sheep

These mainstays of commercial farms are also popular with lifestylers. Lifestyle farmers keep cattle and sheep for a variety of reasons, from having a house cow for fresh milk to raising sheep for their meat or fleece – some do it purely for the enjoyment of rearing more unusual breeds.

As ruminants, cows and sheep meet most of their nutritional requirements by grazing fresh or dry foliage. Supplementary feeding with an appropriate commercial feed can, however, be very beneficial to adult animals. This is especially true where grazing opportunities are limited or the quality of the foliage is poor, and will ensure their ongoing health and wellbeing.

Barastoc Hobby Farm Mix is a multi-species feed that has been formulated to provide a convenient and cost-effective supplementary ration to ensure that adult cattle and sheep get the right balance of nutrients for overall health and wellness. It’s also suitable for goats, especially when they’re kept in mixed herds with sheep and cattle.
