The 1,100 acre farm, along with a few other parcels of land, is home to over 900 breeding ewes, including flocks of purebred native Shetland sheep and larger crossbred stock, and about 30 breeding cows, most of them pedigree Shorthorn. The majority of the farm's lamb and beef is sold locally through the local wholesaler JW Gray, and local butcher The Scalloway Meat Co.
