Michael and Sheena Read have a prized herd of cattle, but their children are happy in other careers.
A farmer and his wife are to auction off the country’s most successful herd of Lincoln Red cattle after their children decided not to follow him into farming.The farm, in Hemingby, Lincolnshire, was started by Mr Read's late father in 1941, but their four children have careers outside of agriculture.
Mr Read, who has been farming for 62 years, described his pedigree herd as his “lifetime’s work” and “pride and joy”. These include unpredictable weather and the phasing out of EU subsidies, according to a survey this year by the National Farmers Union, which found that confidence among farmers was at an all-time low.
