In the second episode of Blether Together, hear from Rory Christie. Rory is a partner in the Dourie Farming Company Ltd., a dairy and piggery business that he runs with his brother Gregor in Wigtownshire, Southwest Scotland. Rory, founder of the co-operative The Milk Suppliers Association (MSA), oversees the dairy farm where 1100 dairy cows calve in February and March each year and spend the majority of the year outside. Gregor takes care of the pig side of the operation which is an indoor Danish-like system.
A family business started by their grandfather and now stretching 70 years in operation, there have been many ups and downs over those years with significant challenges impacting Rory. This podcast finds out more about the business and is a very honest and open account delving into how Rory defines success and how he copes with and has managed the stress he encounters.
