About B&W Feeds
B&W Feeds (Mobile) Ltd. is a privately owned limited company, operating from its main base in North Dorset in addition to having a satellite base in Kent for its mobile feed milling service.
The Company joined the Eastbury Estate group of companies in 1995. It had previously been the animal feeds division of the local agricultural merchanting company, Blandford & Webb.
It is continuing as a family run company with Jim Farquharson (Owner & Managing Director) joined by daughter Kathryn Thompson (Technical Manager/ Nutritionist) in 2014.
Buschhoff Mobile Feed Mills
Our specific interest was the mobile on-farm feeds processing service, provided by truck-mounted mills. It soon became very apparent that the old and unreliable American milling equipment, common to all this type of business, was not able to support or provide the service required. This lead to us importing the first new German Buschhoff milling machine in the UK, in 1997.
Our choice of Buschhoff mobile feed mills was so successful that we acquired the sole UK & Ireland distributorship for the Buschhoff Company of Germany. The latest addition to the fleet is a Buschhoff Tourmix 04 machine, offering the very best in mill and mix technology.
Accreditation
To establish the company and the on-farm service provided as equal to any manufactured feed, we made the decision to become the first ISO registered mobile feeds service company in the UK in 1998. This was enhanced and replaced in 2004 by UFAS (UK Feed Assurance Scheme), the latest industry standard for safe animal feed production. This has been further complemented by accreditation with the NAAC (the National Association of Agricultural Contractors) in 2006, followed in the same year by organic accreditation to ensure we are able to service the needs of our organic customers.
Feed Mill Sales
To capitalise on our own experience, we developed our mobile feed mill sales and static feed mill sales business.
Mobile feed mills have been supplied to a number of independent contractors outside of the B&W Feeds area. With our fully equipped workshop and qualified fitter, we can provide a full service for repairs and maintenance.
Our Buschhoff distributorship also means that we can also provide a range of static feed milling equipment suited to the larger on-farm processor. This sector has seen recent strong growth in demand and we have installed equipment right across the UK. We can design, supply, install and offer a complete backup service designed to meet the needs of each individual customer.
