I love spending time with my family, and enjoy going to Sheep shearing competitions we usual go as a family to Lochearnhead scottish Blackface sheep shearing competition even though I dont compete anymore, Its a great atmosphere,and Its a great way to catch up with friends I have sheared with in the past. I also enjoy attending local agricultural shows and love showing livestock. I also enjoy supporting my wife who is very keen on showing in the industrial section at shows. She won the championship in the baking and handicraft at Livescot at Lanark a few years ago.

I was brought up on a farm then done my first lambing at 16 years old then worked on farms ever since, securing my first full-time job at 16 on a farm in Douglas herding 1200 blackface ewes where i was for over 10 years. More recently I worked on a farm in Moffat for herding 1000 blackface ewes,but due to our growing family his two bedroom cottage was to small. I also worked on a farm in Sanquhar for herding 800 blackface ewes and assisting with 100 cattle. For about 7 years.but unfortunately he lost his tenancy of his farm. After that I worked on a self employed basis in and around Sanquhar, doing all shepherding including gathering. and cattle work, tractor work, fencing Dyking even general maintenance jobs etc.But I found everyone wanted me at busy times and I hated letting people down. I am competent working on my own or as part of a team. I am currently shepherding in North Northumberland.
