If we don’t get to the farm, then the farm comes to us!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Today saw an extravaganza of farming fun for the children of the North Rhins Partnership.\u00a0 All three schools came together to participate in a carousel of farming activities kindly organised by Mrs McKnight.\u00a0 This was an opportunity for us to learn more about farming as a career first hand, seeing a range of farming roles up close. Jack Milroy kindly allowed us to use his field for the event.<\/p>\n

Stuart McCrindle demonstrated the great team work skills of himself and Zak rounding up sheep.\u00a0 Zak is the Scottish Sheep Dog Trial Champion this year, so we were treated to an exceptional demonstration of skill.\u00a0 Stuart explained that he became interested in this aspect of farming as a young boy and has made a career out of his interest.\u00a0 He also explained that it takes about 4 years to fully train a sheep dog – one year for each leg, as he put it. \ud83d\ude09 Stuart brought along a very cute puppy that the children were able to pet and nominate names for.\u00a0 The winner will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n
