About Us at Llysyfran farm
Richie and I purchased the farm in 1999 and since
then we have been trying to build up a pedigree Welsh Black herd. The
pedigree herd name is ‘Syfynwy’. The river Syfynwy flows through
Llysyfran and is a tributary of the Eastern Cleddau. This is
a picture of Gwen our first Welsh Black cow.
outbuildings were used for milking the cows, and for keeping horses in
the old, stone-built stable. By today the standards required for
animal welfare, modern machinery, health and safety etc are such that
the outbuildings can no longer be used for farming purposes. Neither is
there any land around the farmyard, therefore, the cows would have had
to walk the road to get to the fields. This would have meant them
walking to and from milking twice a day. To this end we have therefore
created a new farmyard with purpose built cattle housing and machinery
storage facilities in a more central location to the farm land.

The farm is situated in the heart of the rural
village of Llysyfran. The village is situated near the Preseli Hills
and central for touring the whole of Pembrokeshire. Its beautiful
coastline, castles, museums, potteries and many other places of interest
are all within easy driving distance. On the boundary of the farm lies
the Llysyfran reservoir and country park which has excellent facilities
for fishing, boating and bird watching as well as a seven mile walk or
cycle ride around its perimeter.
