We run a mixed livestock farm at Okehampton, Devon on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park. The farm is equally split between beef and sheep with 40 acres of arable. The farmstead is about 1000ft above sea level, some of the land is classed as disadvantaged.

​

The farm was started by Dudley and Frances Luxton in the 1960s. It is now run by their son Stuart, his wife Lynette, and their daughters Susie and Rachael. In 2008, the family opened a farm shop, which comprises a high-quality butchery, shop, and restaurant. We retail our own beef and lamb and other localy produced meats.

​

In 2007 Luxtons Aberdeen Angus was established with the purchase of some high quality females from Brian Derek of the Clover Herd. To these we have added females from amongst others the herds of Woddington, Westwilmer, Southford and Ballathie.

We have purchased stock bulls of high quality and retained daughters from these to build up the herd which now numbers 175 breeding females.
