Great to see our customers in North Yorkshire winning Regenerative Farmer of the Year at British Farming Awards last night.
Big congratulations to the Johnson family!

Congratulations Mallard Grange Farm, Regenerative Farmer of the year 2026!

At Mallard Grange Farm, a 300-hectare family-run mixed farm in North Yorkshire, regenerative agriculture is transforming production, profitability and biodiversity. Following extreme weather in 2019 and 2020, the family adopted adaptive multi-paddock grazing, diverse herbal leys, reduced tillage and direct drilling. Its 140 suckler cows and 400 ewes use native, forage-efficient genetics, while pasture-raised hens follow grazing livestock, helping control pests and return nutrients naturally.

Arable practices include diverse cover crops, manure applications and reduced artificial fertiliser use. Sheep also graze cereal crops in spring, helping reduce disease pressure and fungicide requirements. These changes have cut fertiliser costs to around a third of previous levels, while improved soil structure and deeper rooting increase resilience to drought and heavy rainfall. Reduced wormer use has also lowered veterinary costs. Diversification includes pasture-raised eggs, meat boxes, pick-your-own flowers and accommodation, creating new income streams while supporting healthier soils, greater biodiversity and long-term farm resilience.

🐏 Another busy Selection Day at Aberystwyth yesterday!

We’re now heading into the final few Selection Days of the season, and with more rams finding new homes each week, availability is starting to reduce.

If you’re still looking for an Innovis ram for this season, we’d recommend getting your slot booked soon to make sure you have the best possible choice.

Our Selection Days give you a dedicated one-hour appointment to look through the available rams, compare their figures and choose the right genetics for your flock – all in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.

👉 Book your one-hour slot here:
https://www.innovis.org.uk/ram-sales/aberystwyth-selection-days/

🐑 What a summer it’s been!
Throughout 2026, we’ve been out and about at customer farms across the UK, bringing farmers together for a series of Innovis Farm Walks.
These events are a great opportunity to catch up with existing customers, meet new faces and, most importantly, see Innovis genetics working in real commercial farming systems.
Every farm is different, and that’s what makes these visits so valuable – seeing how our customers use genetics to meet their own goals, suit their system and ultimately farm the way they want to farm.
A huge thank you to all the farmers who opened their gates and shared their experiences with us this summer, and to everyone who came along. 👏🐏
Here’s a look back at some of the highlights 🎥
