The climate in that area should be good. And would be capable of growing a lot of grass! Looks a nice spec. Handy 30ac block for outwinter some young cattle also maby.

@happycows 542 acres 500 cubicles 20/40 in holsworthy. 8.1 mil. Seems steep, but a lot of property. Decent ground? Or wet housed job?
Wet farm, they were milking 1000 cows and think they sold them couple of years ago.
Did have a rotary? Sold cows because it was fecked?
S.G.Think it was a herringbone and can't remember if it was fecked
Oh boy that had done alot of revolutions. Installed early nineies.Think it was a herringbone and can't remember if it was fecked
He Milked 500 cows before selling herd, then decided to milk again when youngsters started calving. Seems a lot of money although Various residential properties and wind turbine let would inflate the price.

@Beef farmer you had some of his cows. It'll take a man of your means to fund this
He never stopped milking. Went from rotary to herringbone as said.
Really successful children's nursery on site as well as lots barn conversions etc.

Looks a nice unit.. how many are they milking at present?? Plenty of milk buyers??
Would milk twice as many without breaking sweat, was on a Nestle contract which for long enough was the premium contract for the area not sure if that’s still the case. Some real units kicking around on the market the now.

Why so cheap? That kind of place would be £7m down south.Heard rumblings for a while that this was coming on the market, couldn’t fail to produce oceans of cheap milk there. 2m quid is nowt
I’m sure there’s a bit of discount as it’s pretty remote but it still seems very cheap.

Main milk buyer in the area is Caledonian cheese (Lactalis in Stranraer), there's also First Milk/Nestle (Girvan), Arla and Yew Tree.
I think they were milking about 200, the farmer at Claunch has recently built himself a new house at a nearby smallholding (to retire to I think), there was a daughter and son in law supposed to be taking over the running of the farm but the son in law has his own business as a mechanic/welder.

Do people just not want to live in Scotland? Some of these look like tidy and productive units but they are staggeringly cheap.
You’d wonder, I’ve never known as many units on the market especially of the quality on offer not to mention the ones not publicity marketed but on agents books. Banks and next generation not wanting to work all the hours

Might be wrong but think Tarbrax might have some former opencast ground, also shotts might not be the friendliest climate.
The layout of the sheds also makes me feel a bit ill.
