The Winterton family have been farmers and graziers in Leicestershire for over 200 years. The Winterton’s originally farmed land in Thurmaston until the 1970’s. The farm is now situated between Wanlip, Rothley and Cossington where they breed, and graze English Longhorn cattle and they also graze Welsh Black cattle sourced directly from North Wales. The Winterton family have always been extremely proud of their farming heritage, using traditional farming methods to produce a sustainable product of great provenance. Michael and his brother John farmed the land until John’s untimely death in 2001. Around this time, Michael’s son, Phil joined the farm, following in the footsteps of his father and raising cattle to the same high standards.
