OVER FINLARG farm near Dundee has been announced as the host of Scotland’s national sheep event, NSA Scotsheep, next year.
Organised by the Scottish region of the National Sheep Association, the event will be held on June 3, 2020, courtesy of Robert and Hazel McNee, who have built up a profitable beef and sheep business since moving to Over Finlarg, Tealing, in 2011.
“We are delighted that the McNee family have agreed to be our hosts for Scotsheep 2020,” said NSA chairman, Jennifer Craig. “Their farm is in a great location and provides a varied and successful business that will be worth a visit to see. We’re all very excited to work with Robert and Hazel over the next year in preparation for the event.”
Robert and Hazel, who have two young children Kate (6) and Alan (4), said it was an honour to host such a prestigious event: “We are fairly new to Over Finlarg and although have made improvements and changes, there is still a lot to do,” said Robert. “It’s a work in progress and we like a challenge so we are really looking forward to hosting the event and welcoming farmers from all corners of the country.”
