We farm over two holdings, Southfield Farm and nearby Manby Airfield, which gives us a total site of 125 acres.\u00a0 We grow around 100 acres of wheat and barley, and rear some 6000 beef cattle every year.\u00a0 At any one time we have a maximum of 3000 animals between the two sites.<\/p>\n<p>With the beef enterprise we buy in animals at approximately 18 months, and finish them over a three to six month time period, slaughtering at about 24 months. We sell our beef cattle to a range of local and national buyers, all of whom demand strict health and welfare standards for all our animals, and we have regular inspections to ensure we\u2019re meeting these requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We employ eight full time staff and two part time staff, working alongside many neighbouring farms to provide organic, nutrient rich fertiliser for crop production.

We source as many ingredients for our TMR recipe as we can, for example buying maize silage locally, to reduce transportation, resulting in lowering our environmental impact and supporting the local farming community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_11'  class='avia-section av-av_section-5e53a5d418fe37ff52ce5f5229e0060f main_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  zag avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_12'  class='avia-section av-av_section-9c0952012075ee1e0a1ddbbd5956a5fb main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  promopanel avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-35972167d9f102c5ddaec0c531c98b9e'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>5 &#8211; What shelter and rest areas do the cattle have?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each of the cattle pens is bedded with deep straw so they have comfortable areas in which to relax.\u00a0 The pictures on the website show this very clearly.\u00a0 We\u2019ve built a special spreading machine which makes sure the pens are full of evenly distributed straw, which is topped up regularly, and cleaned out on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>The cattle are clean and very happy in their surroundings \u2013 when we put down fresh bedding they literally run and \u2018dance\u2019 their way into their new pen, which is so large, they have plenty of space in which to exercise themselves.<\/p>\n<p>We use large straw bales as an additional \u2018shield\u2019 against the elements, a bit like a tall hedge.

Looking after our soils naturally, ensuring the nutrients remain and are continually replenished, is vital as we are farming for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>One example of our pro-active stance is that we have put owl nesting boxes up, and are now reaping the rewards of encouraging owls across both farms.\u00a0 We also ensure that we use fully-qualified specialists when carrying out rodent control \u2013 it\u2019s very important to us that we don\u2019t harm any local wildlife.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_22'  class='avia-section av-av_section-b3e2f85e9860b4e0220930211e22c696 main_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-47  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  zig avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='bigoldbuttons'  class='avia-section av-av_section-a6a350bed49f51067366545460a7cbed main_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-48  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  zigzag avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-35972167d9f102c5ddaec0c531c98b9e'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>10 &#8211; Do you monitor your carbon footprint and who do you work with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Southfield Farm we take our environmental responsibility very seriously. And, as a family that has worked and lived in the Louth area for generations, we take pride in working hand in hand with our surrounding area. We are passionate about working with nature to produce the best beef in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to us to work with leading companies and organisations within the industry, to monitor the impact our farming system has on the environment. This is an investment we feel is invaluable for future generations of not only our family, but also the local community and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most recent studies commissioned by one of our customers was the Alltech E-CO<sub>2<\/sub> Beef Swift-EA\u2122 environmental assessment, with the objective of finding out ways in which to improve on-farm efficiencies, in a more sustainable way.<\/p>\n<p>The assessment covers three main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Each individual gas has a different global warming potential in the atmosphere so in order to generate a single footprint figure we standardise the results from multiple gases to units of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO<sub>2<\/sub>e). In order to calculate this you need to look at both direct emissions, for example from animals and the spread of fertiliser, or indirect emissions from examples such as the production of feed and fertiliser inputted to the farm system.<\/p>\n<p>Alltech, a business that carries out thousands of farm consultancies throughout Europe, works with the Carbon Trust to accredit assessment tools to the internationally recognised PAS 2050 life cycle analysis standard. This insures the services are independently assessed.<\/p>\n<p>And the results from our study were incredibly encouraging and demonstrate how Southfield Farm produces significantly lower carbon emissions than the average farm assessed on the same system type. Of course, we can always improve, and we strive to continue seeking the latest research and knowledge. We are open to new developments within our industry and welcome the opportunity to further increase our efficiencies in a way that will protect the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_24'  class='avia-section av-av_section-5e53a5d418fe37ff52ce5f5229e0060f main_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-50  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  zag avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='linedbutton'  class='avia-section av-av_section-ebf6edd15de9070372ef1e27454df9b9 main_color avia-section-no-padding avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-51  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-65'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-5a7217a9b0033c2c1fd8e7733c5c9c41-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-52  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' ><a href='https:\/\/laughtonsoflouth.co.uk\/contact\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-5a7217a9b0033c2c1fd8e7733c5c9c41 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >contact us for more information<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 -
