How do we choose the breeds?
The breeds we choose to graze the land are carefully selected. The Longhorn Cattle are chosen for their docile nature and varied diet - They don’t just eat grass... they will also browse scrub, bracken and brambles due to their harder palate and tougher tongue.
The Hebridean sheep are chosen for their hardy nature their varied diet.
