Second-chance Scot Sheep farm tour a triumph
15th July 2014
An invitation back to the NSA Scot Sheep host farm in Berwickshire on Sunday saw 80 people enjoy a proper view of the property without the persistent rain and fog that plagued the event back in early June.
George Milne, NSA Scottish Regional Development Officer, reports: “We enjoyed an excellent farm tour, where we saw the full sheep enterprise and also three groups of suckler cows with calves at foot. We also saw a range of grass plots planted and maintained by Watson Seeds and explained by Johnny Watson on the day, and SRUC were present to talk to us about the importance of soil structure in achieving a good grass sward. Thanks and appreciation go to the Macfarlane family once again – they pulled out all the stops to host Scot Sheep and we really appreciated the opportunity to go back and see the farm at its best. We are also grateful to Watson Seeds and SRUC, as well as Country Refreshments for providing a light lunch.”
