GOLD CUP OPEN DAY
Join hundreds of dairy farmers and industry professionals this June for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the UK’s top-performing dairy farms.
The family-run T N Morrow and Partners, Treveale Farm, Ladock, near Truro, will open its doors on Tuesday 30 June 2025, giving visitors the chance to tour the farm, meet the award-winning team, hear from industry experts, and explore a line-up of trade stands.
The farm, led by Paul Broad, his wife Wendy (née Morrow), Wendy’s brother Irwin Morrow, and Paul and Wendy’s sons David and Philip, was named winner of the prestigious 2025 RABDF NMR Gold Cup at Dairy-Tech, Stoneleigh, in February. The family manage every aspect of the farm themselves, from milking and calf rearing to forage management.
With significant investment in a new dairy unit in 2018 and youngstock facilities in 2023, the farm now runs the high-performing pedigree Holstein Maymor herd of 471 cows, producing over 12,000kg of milk per cow a year.
Attendees will see first-hand how a closed herd, strong genetics, and fine-tuned nutrition are driving performance and longevity, and ensuring low youngstock mortality. This will offer visitors practical insights to take back to their own businesses. They will also be welcomed by RABDF Chairman Robert Craig and they can attend a series of talks throughout the day covering key topics including milk markets, maximising milk from forage, slurry management, business planning, and disease control.
“Open days like this are a great opportunity for farmers and industry professionals to see best practice in action and network with other farmers. Treveale Farm is a worthy Gold Cup winner, and visitors will leave with practical ideas, fresh thinking, and valuable connections.”
— Robert Craig, RABDF Chairman
“NMR is delighted to support this Open Day and celebrate the achievements of Treveale Farm. It’s a fantastic opportunity for farmers to see first-hand how data-driven management and attention to detail underpin such an outstanding dairy business.”
— Ben Bartlett, Sales & Marketing Director, NMR
