I was born and bred in Lincolnshire. After two years doing a general agricultural college course, I moved to Northumberland college and specialised in sheep and beef. The past 24 years I have worked in the sheep industry and the last 14 years managing a progressive sheep farm. I have set up myself as an independent adviser specialising in sheep and beef in the last year.
