Farming across Snaigow Estate

Arable Farming

Our in-hand farming operation covers approximately 2,000 acres of arable land. With a focus on modern agricultural techniques, such as, regular soil testing and soil health improvements, direct drilling and minimal tillage techniques. Our farms can optimise yields whilst maintaining the land in good heart.

Livestock Farming

Our livestock operation consists of a herd of 50 Luing cattle as well as a flock of 1400 breeding pedigree Blackface sheep. More than half of Snaigow Estate is home to grassland, and the addition of upland hill ground makes it ideal to support traditional upland breeds, such as the Scottish Blackface. We welcomed the Luing herd onto the Estate in 2024, recognising their suitability for our farming practices and land. Luing cattle are exceptionally hardy and known for their ability to raise healthy calves in all weathers. The cattle are grazed outdoors throughout the year and calve in the spring months.
