Halton Farms, Cheshire, is a fantastic example of a leading dairy unit, one which places animal welfare at the centre of all its decisions.
We spoke to business partner Karen Halton, to get a real insight into how her business works, the roles and responsibilities the staff share and how they're all working hard to ensure everyone in the business feels part of a team.
Watch the video and see if you can answer the questions detailed below.
Can you answer these questions?
- How many cattle are on this farm?
- How are the team working to improve the profitability of the business?
- What does the farmer refer to the cows as?
- What do the cows play with?
- When does the whole team meet up?
- What does Karen love about her job?
How did you find that?
