CARRS BILLINGTON CARRS BILLINGTON AGRICULTURE: A BYWORD FOR QUALITY & RELIABILITY One of those names that has become a byword for quality and reliability, Carrs Billington Agriculture supplies the farming and rural communities with a truly comprehensive range of agricultural products and services. The company, which recently opened a brand new store at Craven Cattle Market, was established following the merger of Carrs Agriculture Ltd, Billington Agriculture Ltd and AF feeds, and in 2005, the acquisition of the Pye Bibby business meant that Carrs Billington could expand its ruminant feed production sites still further. At the same time, a new production partnership with two associate companies was formed to provide animal feeds in Wales and the borders; this standalone company is Bibby Agriculture. Ruminant compound feeds are manufactured at Carlisle, Lancaster and Stone, blends and specialist coarse mixes are manufactured at Kirkbride, Lancaster, Owen at Newtown and Thomas at Carmarthen. One of the core strengths of this wellestablished business are the friendly, experienced and locally based sales teams, who are professionally trained and cover the whole trading area which encompasses Northern England, Scotland, Wales and the Midlands. OUTSTANDING IN THE FIELD As a leading manufacturer of farm equipment, RITCHIE's continually expanding range of cattle and sheep handling equipment focuses on animal welfare and operator safety. COMBI CLAMP RITCHIE's livestock feeding and weighing equipment, coupled with farm machinery and quality gates, completes the comprehensive range of superior products.
