Milking is done twice a day at 5.00am and 2.30pm, through a 20 x 20 herringbone low level parlour with automatic cluster removal and milk transfer, taking on average 4 hours. During the winter the cows are housed in timber-framed kennels clad with waney edged elm from locally felled trees. The integral feed passage enables the herd to be divided into groups according to dietary needs. Hygiene is carefully planned with dairy and slurry treatment at opposite ends of the large cow-cubicle building. The slurry forms part of the raw materials for a range of organic garden products produced on site by Super Natural Limited .
All milk is sold now via the Organic Milk Suppliers Co-operative.
First collection on Monday 3 April was of 11,375 litres. First litres of organic milk leaving Bore Place on 1 April 2000. Grass leys have been replaced with white or red clover and grass leys, which are able to affix atmospheric nitrogen. However due to the renting of extra hectares total numbers will remain the same. This means maize will cease to be grown for forage and replaced with cereal crops cut for silage.
