Calf Price – A Farmer’s Reality

You raise them from nothing. You mix powdered milk at 6AM in the dark with fingers still numb from the cold. Calves bawling, buckets sloshing, and a half-bag of milk replacer already gone before most people have started their day.

The straw’s soaked again. Another €5 a bale. You treat the weak one for scour, again. You know the vet is going to say, “It’s the weather” — as if you can fix that.

You’ve tagged them, injected them, fed them, cleaned them. You called the AI man when the heifer came bulling on a Bank Holiday. You’ve prayed they don’t pick up pneumonia during the first frost or get crushed against the gate before weaning.

And when the time comes to sell? Maybe €300, maybe €370 a head—if the mart’s good. But none of that shows the time, cost, and care it took just to get them there.

There Has to Be Another Way

You’re not giving up calves. You’re not giving up farming. You just want something that returns value without sucking every ounce of time, energy, and cash from you.

Hemp.

It won’t bawl at 4AM. It won’t get scour. It won’t need milk replacer or dosing. You put it in the ground, and 90–120 days later, it’s ready to harvest. It’s not magic. It’s just a different kind of work. One that’s catching on with farmers who are sick of working flat out for unpredictable return.

And the best part? We’ll help you from day one. We don’t just sell seed — we back it, buy the product, and help you build something sustainable that fits your farm, not someone else's system.
