A little bit of background? I was born and bred at Holms Farm, Dalrymple, being the oldest of nine – five boys and four girls – there was never going to be enough work for all of us with our Ayrshire pedigree herd at the time. I flew the nest in 1985 to become a shepherd with Robert Graham, Bridge of Allan, where I spent a good six years, being part of a team that was amongst the first Scottish importers of the Rouge de L’Ouest breed, along with working with pedigree Suffolks. There was always something new on the horizon for me then.
