Farm Development
Our farm has diversified and developed over the years to create the business and lifestyle we have today, Sgriob - Ruadh is 300 acres of mostly rock and bog, but just enough for the milking cows to graze.
We started with 10 cows which were brought up with Jeff and Chris and the boys when they moved up from Somerset in 1979. The farm was a ruin and no - one had been living there for many years but one of the first things to be built was a roof over the cow shed so that they could be housed.
