Guernsey cows begin 'mooove' to Sark
Milk production is soon to get underway at Sark's new dairy farm. The first cows arrived in the island on Wednesday 11 August.
The herd travelled from Guernsey as farmer Carol Allett has decided to retire from dairy farming after 50 years.
The first cows, which arrived in Sark on Wednesday evening (11 August) were pictured in the new parlour with farmer Jason Salisbury.
A worldwide search for new farmers was carried out with applications from the United States and New Zealand. Now, a couple from Suffolk are moving to Sark to start milking.
Work started on the island's new dairy in August 2020 and a fundraising appeal helped to raise the money needed to complete the project.
Katharine and Jason Salisbury, who have twenty years of dairy farming experience, have taken on the project.
