- Galloway cattle, Wiltshire Horn and Shetland sheep are slow maturing native breeds of livestock with unique qualities that convert grass and forage to beef, lamb, mutton and hide in a sustainable way and are actively used by conservation partners to manage natural grassland for the benefit of wildlife and fragile ecosystems.
- The Riggit Galloway programme is a true conservation project in its own right; seeking to breed red Riggit cattle, a near extinct colour type Galloway cattle.
- We have breeding stock and boxed lamb for sale and in time mutton, Shetland wool and hides.
- We are always interested to hear from local conservation bodies and landowners who would appreciate the grazing and aesthetic benefits of the TwoMills herd and flock and by affording selected grazing can make a real contribution to this livestock conservation project.
