[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 8048529, member: 72"] I come across lots of new entrants/young folk aspiring to be shepherds /farmers And I take great inspiration and hope for the future of our industry from them They work hard and ''make their own luck'' often pushing into areas/ideas that others (older sods like me) don't want to deal with -- The ones that really make it (and as with all walks of life not everyone wins all the time) achieve some incredible things whether it's through building their own flocks or managing contracting businesses etc There is lots of shepherding on social media and i think that's great too---it gives people confidence , lets people learn from other people in similar positions & shows the world/consumer what producing food is all about. This i think is really important to the future of red meat production---getting the real story across to the public and also learning about consumer desires , this in turn helps us with future marketing strategy It's also great to watch new entrants journeys through the industry---I met one such young aspiring shepherd many years ago when he came to buy a few older ewes to start his flock off (dad had to drive him i think) & he now runs a large commercial flock both for himself and for other people ---(he would also be quite vocal on forums/media ;) ) 🥃🥃 here's to many more young (and not so young) new entrants leading the way [/QUOTE]
