I am the shepherd for Scottish Wildlife Trust's innovative Flying Flock and Herd of sheep and cattle. The project has been going for over 12 years and the stock regularly graze Wildlife Reserves from Angus to Fife down to East Lothian, we've been to the Borders too several times!

The FF is funded by donations and by selling our beef, lamb and wool which we sell all over the UK.

Look forward to joining in  :wave:

Thanks for the welcome!

We have Shetland cattle and sheep and Cheviot Shetland ewes which we cross with the texel.  At the moment we are breeding the cattle pure but we may start cross breeding in the next few years.

Big chicken that's right, do you want to be a volunteer checker  ;)
