	Orton Grange Farm We're well into our new phase here at Orton Grange Farm, after our on-farm dispersal sale of the milking portion of the our herd on May 15, 2008. In all, Harrison and Hetherington auctioned 204 cows. But it was always our intention to resume milking, as we built up our stock again. And we wanted to look at ways of further improving the quality of the herd - which we believe was already very high. Now, after a rather unusual time, we're back into milk production. Many of our young stock have come  through, and together with some good young animals bought at auction, they form the milking herd.
	We're currently milking around 100 cows. Here you can see some of our own calves which we believe will form a good basis for our future herd. We're also pursuing an exciting new venture to further enhance the herd. We've had embryos from high quality cows and bulls implanted into some of our heifers and they've turned out well. The Martin family came to Orton Grange in 1956. At top left you can see an old Massey Ferguson ploughing at Orton Grange in the 1960s. And over the years our philosophy has been the same: to produce quality milk in a way that is as environmentally friendly as possible. We also believe we have a responsibility to look after farm buildings which are redundant for agricultural purposes. We've been working hard on that for the last four years, as you'll be able to see elsewhere on our website.
