First-generation farmers George and Hollie

Shared by Yoni • March 14, 2023

In 2016, sheep and cattle farmer George Sturla started Beeches Farm. A solo part-time farming venture in North Wales that started with seven sheep. Now he runs the farm together with his partner Hollie Blockley. An enterprise consisting of 140 breeding ewes, 13 suckler cows and 25 store cattle. Since 2022, Beeches Farm delivers lamb - and soon also beef - boxes to local households.

George and Hollie invested in an iLivestock system to closely monitor their livestock, keep animal records up-to-date and save time on the farm to manage their full-time jobs. They use eWeigh, a Bluetooth enabled animal weighing device system, to monitor the daily weight gains of their lambs until they're ready for end-consumers.
