Huge congratulations to Jason Bain, who for his 50th birthday chose to undertake a massive sheep shearing challenge. He offered to shear 50 sheep on each farm in the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys in return for a donation to support the local primary schools and Harris Trust. Jason's eldest boy, Josh, played football and rugby with Harris and Jason was keen to support the work of the Trust.
Farmers from both valleys, the trade and Jason's wide circle of friends got behind him to raise an amazing sum of nearly £8000 from shearing 1122 sheep!
The funds were split 3 ways between Kirkhope and Yarrow Schools and Harris Trust.
Thank you Jason for a TERRIFIC effort.
