Buffalo In The UK?
« on: April 05, 2014, 12:55:25 pm »
Hey, i'm currently studying animal management at Rodbaston, me and a couple of friends are really interested in livestock, especially buffalo, and we were thinking about going to a buffalo farm in the summer holidays to do some work experience. Does anyone on here own or know someone who owns a buffalo farm who would be willing to let us learn and work at there place. We are all hard working individuals and i myself have a lot of experience on different farms. If anyone knows anything, shoot me a message :)

The only one I know is www.laverstokepark.co.uk - owned by Jody Sheckter.  He has an enormous herd of water buffalo - might be worth contacting them direct?  Might be a long way away from you though.

Or you could try these... But they are probably even further away!

There's one just down the road from me, Seighford, near Stafford. He milks them and I believe the milk goes for mozzarella

Hi
My family and I own a herd of water buffalo in mid wales. However we are quite a small family business at the moment so we don't have enough work for anyone. Please feel free to ask any questions about water buffaloes and I shall try to answer.
Thanks
