This is so important and raising issues such as this with @scotgov is one of the reasons that the #rbstscotland forum was set up. Get in touch with your local group to find out more.

Merry Christmas from this pair of Lincoln Longwools. Does anyone else decorate their livestock? We’d love to see your best pictures!

It is a great shame that this fabulous resource is under threat. Generations of local children have learned about livestock, food and landscape, and how they are interconnected, at Doonies.

All British M&M ponies are suited to wet weather. They have had centuries of adapting to it. There has been human selection too - but nature has always played a part in M&M breeds. They needed to work some marginal places where high quality food/shelter wasn’t available #gonative
