Warren Farm: A Stake in the Future

Synopsis

Warren Farm, owned by the Milk Marketing Board, at Lambourn, Berkshire, is one of the largest beef-bull progeny testing centres in the world. Calves sired by bulls at the board’s various studs are purchased for rearing under controlled conditions at the farm, from the age of about 10 days to eventual slaughtering and carcass appraisal some 18 months later. Together with relevant statistics, the film gives details of beef-bull breeds, procedures at the AI centres and at Warren Farm itself.
