An exciting opportunity has arisen for an innovative, enthusiastic and highly experienced person to join us on our mixed livestock hill farm, in the beautiful Tay Valley.
We are looking to appoint an assistant manager, who in conjunction with the rest of the team will strive towards increasing landscape capacity through regenerative farming practices, as well as selecting adapted genetics through inhouse breeding programs and management of data sets.
