Somerleyton Farms

Somerleyton Park is home to a closed herd of around thirty horned Welsh black cattle with two years of followers. These cows wean naturally, the mothers, gently pushing the older calf off when the new calf arrives as in nature. They roam about 340 acres of organic, old and increasingly wild native grasses and flowers and later this year will be able to browse through the old park woods as well as the developing scrub and old park trees – in this way they can self-medicate on a wider palate of plants as close to in nature as possible.
