About Us  Born and brought up in East Yorkshire, we became proud owners of Spring Farm in 2007. Our aim is to rear all our livestock in a traditional manner. This brings its own rewards not only in seeing the animals thrive and enjoy a happy, stress free life, but in the taste of the meat - which is simply delicious!
Our farm is located in Skerne, a small village near Driffield in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds.  Visitors are welcome to call in.

 
 

Traditionally Reared Dexter Beef Cattle at Spring Farm, Skerne
Dexter cattle originated in Ireland and are the smallest of British breeds - first introduced into England in 1882. They are extremely hardy and can live outdoors all year round if necessary.

We like to provide them with shelter over winter as this gives the grazing areas chance to recover in time for Spring and also gives the cattle some respite from our cold wet weather.

Beef from Dexter cattle is superb - it is often described as 'good, old fashioned beef' which is naturally marbled and has a flavour all of it's own. Because Dexters thrive on a natural diet of grass and hay and are not usually fed supplements. The meat is high in Omega-3. According to tests it can contain up to six times the amount of Omega-3 normally found in grain fed cattle.

Like all animals, Dexters have their own personalities but, generally speaking, they are pretty laid back and are quite easy to handle and even halter train.

The Internet Farm Shop for Quality Excellence and Value

The Internet Farm Shop is committed to bringing you the very best produce

Spring Farm is a traditional smallholding of approximately 23 acres. We are lucky enough to have a natural supply of spring water which our livestock are able to enjoy from source.

Our Dexter cattle graze outside for most of the year. During the worst of the winter months they are happy to bed down in their roomy barn.

We grow our own hay which is used to feed the cattle in winter. We are also very lucky to have a working mill on the farm and we roll our own barley for animal feed - as has been done here for years.

We also rear British Saddleback Pigs, who are real characters and a constant source of amusement!
