About Moorhouse Hall Farm
Located in Wigton, Cumbria, Moorhouse Hall Farm is managed by third-generation farmers, John, and Kate. Chris Bailey, their son, works part-time on the farm, alongside his career as a large animal vet.
This all-year-round herd of 100 Holstein-Friesian cows average 10,200 litres per cow, per year, at 4.17% butterfat and 3.36% protein.
The herd has been closed for over 50 years, using replacement heifers from their milking cows to continue the strong line of genetics, further allowing them flexibility with their herd.
Originally tenant farmers in Lancashire, the Bailey family started their journey on Moorhouse Hall Farm in 2022 after purchasing the 130-acre farm.
The family have been all-year-round dairy farmers in Lancashire for four generations, with Chris’ great-grandfather taking on the original lease.
