Graeme Knox
Haddo - KWJ North of Scotland - Area 1

Working with his family’s Haddo flock which was founded some 30 years ago Graeme Knox says the breed’s carcass and character is still the driver for the Haddo flock today as it was back in 1990. A full-time farmer with experience working in Canada in the dairy sector Graeme says the biggest lesson he has learnt is not to hesitate and to go with his gut feeling when it comes to important decisions. That said he does admit the family probably continued dairy farming for too long when hoping for better returns. Today the Haddo flock runs alongside commercial ewes, a suckler herd and malting barley enterprises, but while the barley may go to produce whisky, Graeme favours another tipple, with beer always in the fridge at Haddo apparently.
