Hoveddommer: Doug Lambie

I was brought up on a hill farm in the west coast of Scotland that Dad managed
After leaving school l went to collage and did an NCA in Agriculture .
Then I started to sheer sheep which turned out to be a great job for a young person to get to see and learn different ways of different countries and people .( including many good trips to Norway)

Ann and I then got married and moved back to Scotland to manage a farm which had 1500 blackface sheep and 75 cows .

We then moved back to Wales to Ann's family farm with our two girls Elin and Lois.
We now seem to have lots to do between the farm training dogs and have to go off farm to try and make some money

I look forward to coming over to see good dogs and nice people and thank you for the invite.
