Biography
Kate graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh in 2015. She is originally from Lancashire but moved to the Scottish Borders in 2017.
She took a career break from veterinary in 2020 to have her daughter and help with the running of her husband’s family farm.
They run a 442ha mixed organic farm near Hawick. They were a QMS Monitor Farm from 2017-2020. Traditionally the farm ran 1000 sheep and 140 suckler cows but in 2018 the sheep were replaced by 300 red deer hinds for venison.
They are currently in a project with LEAF ‘Accelerating your Journey to Net Zero’ and will become a LEAF Demonstration Farm in 2025.
