In these photos is Ian Aitken. Ian worked for my grandfather for 47 years. I spent a lot of time with Ian and nothing was ever a problem. The tractor he had in the photos was an International 674. My grandfather had the 674 along with a 574. The engine gave up on the 674 and the back end gave up on the 574 so the two running parts were joined together making one running tractor. This tractor is still on the farm today, feeding cattle on a daily basis. It is a very reliable tractor and starts every day.
We still also have the last tractor Ian had on the farm which was a W reg Renault 620 and the plough (4 furrow KV) which I still use every year but to no where near the standards of Ian. ... See MoreSee Less

Well I’m not gonna do any harm at the moment if I pull on the boots again after a poor run of results!!

Even after a day of fine food and great company with Miss V cooks, traditional Scottish tablet who sponsored the game, I was still standing straight enough to feed the calves!!

Thank you to Vikki and Graeme for asking me to join them. It was a great day out!! ... See MoreSee Less

🧑‍🎄🎄Christmas Orders 🎄🧑‍🎄

I am finally mentioning the C word as I know people are now speaking about it and I need to try and organise cattle to go away.

📕 So our order books are open.

🔪 What cuts of beef would you like?

🥩Sirloin Roasts?
🥩Rib Roasts?
🥩Rump Roasts?

✍️What ever beef cut you would like we can organise it if you let me know.

🐑 We also have some lamb joints in the freezer if you would want something different?

⌨️ All you need to do is simply send me a private message with what you would like and I’ll pop it in the diary. Pick up will be 20th-24th December but I will keep you all posted.

❤️Most importantly- all our beef and lamb is born and reared right here at Drumsleed.
