Anna Bowen

Anna Bowen is a fifth-generation dairy farmer whose family own the century- old Lan herd of pedigree Holsteins. However, she has embarked on her own farming career and farms 300 spring block calving cows through a contract farming agreement in Ceredigion. The herd aims to produce just under 500kg of milk solids per cow from just over a tonne of concentrate feed, with a focus on healthy, happy cows producing milk from grazed grass. They are a Forage For Knowledge farm for Ceredigion. Anna also works for The Andersons Centre as a dairy consultant, a role which involves financial, technical and strategic consultancy, as well as facilitating eight dairy discussion groups. She is a 2021 Nuffield Scholar and now sits on the board of trustees, as well as being a scholar mentor and report editor.
