McIntosh’s well-known Genoch Mains, family run farm operates an on-farm Anaerobic Digestion plant, generating energy for the new dairy unit with Holstein & Jersey cattle and robotic milkers alongside an established beef finishing enterprise.
A delightful lunch was enjoyed at ‘Gallie Craig’, the Sloan family’s tourism diversification project in a picturesque café next to the Mull of Galloway lighthouse, built in 1828 and on an RSPB nature reserve.
The amazing weather enabled the exceptional views of ‘the six kingdoms’ to be enjoyed. The Sloan family farm is Scotland’s most southerly farm at the southern tip of the Rhins of Galloway, spanning hundreds of acres of narrow land plus rough grazing on cliff tops.
Focus is on efficient production of beef cattle and sheep aiming to finish lambs early with top-end grades.
Ollardale Ltd. is a farmer buying group of just under 100 members in the Ballyclare area.
