THE TRADITIONAL PIG ARK COMPANY
Solidly built, galvanized metal, polymer ends. Complete with tanalised wooden floor to keep pigs dry and reduce straw usage. Skids and lifting hooks for easy movement. Delivered ready for immediate occupation (no assembly required).
An innovation in pig arks. The polymer ends are unique to our steel roofed arks, they are hygienic and rot proof compared with plywood and they put our arks ahead of the field. Your ark will be delivered on our own transport with onboard crane. This enables us to place the ark over fences, ditches and hedges.

MIDDLEBROOKS FARMLimousin cattle can be seen at all the major agricultural shows in the UK. At the Royal Smithfield Show, Limousin cattle have dominated the catalogue and the competition. Limousin bulls have proved to be extremely fertile and their conformation is passed on to all progeny whilst their lighter frame ensures ease of calving. Limousin females pure and cross-bred have demonstrated high fertility, a good milking ability, high conception rate and ease of calving. Naturally hardy and thrifty, the females are smaller than most continental suckler dams allowing for increased stocking rates. |
FOR SALE: FIVE LIMOUSIN CROSS HEIFERS,
23 Months old, running with pedigree Limousin bull since November @ £850 each. PLUS ONE PEDIGREE LIMOUSIN BULL. Six years old £1,150.
