Harry Gregory runs a 500-acre mixed farming enterprise at his family’s Normanton Farm, where they have farmed since 2007 after relocating from Lancashire. 330 cows are milked and replacement heifers are home-bred from selected cows, with a Belgian Blue used across remaining cows to sire beef cattle which are finished on the farm. 

The farm also grows wheat, maize, and fodder beet and the Gregory’s invested in a 120 KW PV system for electricity supply.
