FARMING MATTERS: Overnight stop for articulated lorry
And Michael needs them as he travels across the entire country from Scotland to Wales and by ferry to Ireland, staying overnight on farms as he collects and delivers cattle, sheep and pigs.
His grandfather, father and uncle before him were all livestock hauliers and he was carried in the massive vehicles by carry cot when he was a baby. He says he remembers washing out the lorries when he was just four years old.

Hide AdMichael loves everything about his job and said: “I like the variety of work, being with the different animals, doing different things each day and seeing different parts of the country.”
After collecting 10 cattle from us, Michael was off to collect further loads from around the area, including a visit to one of our farming cousins.
