Talog, Carmarthen, SA33

A renowned and well-equipped modern dairy farm with an excellent range of modern farm buildings extending to approx. 194 acres (78.43 hectares) positioned in a prime early grass growing area of north - west Carmarthenshire. 

Overview

Rhydygors Farm is a renowned and well equipped modern dairy farm, having been continuously improved and expanded by the current owners over the years, with ease of operation and maximising production at the forefront of decision making. The farm lies in an area renowned for its ability to grow grass with a relatively temperate climate and early growing season, being well suited to grass and forage production.

The multigenerational family run dairy farm is home to the award wining and nationally recognised Rhydygors herd of pedigree Holsteins, housed year round on a total mixed ration from home grown forage and bought-in blend mixes, whilst both youngstock and followers are turned out for seasonal grazing.

Situation

Rhydygors is predominately ringfenced and accessed from the farmstead, with one field being accessed by crossing an unclassified adopted highway, situated about 0.7 miles to the north of the farmstead. The farm lies in a convenient position, 1/2 a mile south of the B4299, whilst the villages of Trelech and Cynwyl Elfed, are both within easy reach, situated within 3 and 5 miles respectively, providing a good range of day-to-day amenities, to include primary school, public houses and shop. A greater comprehensive range of services can be found in the nearby market towns of Newcastle Emlyn and Carmarthen, situated 8 and 12 miles respectively.

The farm lies within easy reach of several livestock markets to include Whitland, Crymych, Carmarthen and Newcastle Emlyn. There are number of established milk factories in Haverfordwest to include First Milk, Totally Welsh and Pembrokeshire Creamery, whilst nearby Newcastle Emlyn is home to Dairy Partners.
