Farming operations will continue as normal on Mother's Day.

On Mother's Day, Shona Duncan and her daughters Rebecca, 24, and Sally, 22, will be attending to their livestock and glamping pods at Duncan Family Farms near Loch Lomond. Shona notes that the day is usually more chaotic than usual as it is in the middle of lambing season, so they must all work together to ensure the newborn lambs and their mothers are safe. Although they will receive a box of chocolates and a card, they would not have it any other way. Rebecca, Sally, and Shona each have their own area of the business that they take care of. Rebecca handles the tractor and feed wagon, Sally does booking administration for the cottages and pods, and Shona watches over the cows. Rebecca shares that she used to be scared of the cows as a child, but now she is responsible for making sure 150 of them are fed and content every morning.

All of this is detailed in Scottish Field's wildlife pages, and Andy Dobson's article about black grouse in the April issue. The post Mother's Day: business as usual on the farm appeared first on Scottish Field.
