Young Pig Farmer of the Year, Chloe Shorten
Chloe Shorten works on a 750 indoor sow breeding unit in Moray,
which has just expanded to approximately 1,140. She began working as a
stockperson/student at JC Innes in 2019
All the gilts are sold off the sow once weaned at about 28 days to
JSR for breeding gilts. Chloe raises these for them on a bed and breakfast
basis until 12 weeks old, when they are then sent to JSR.
Whilst undertaking her agricultural degree, she worked on a 200
sow indoor farrow-finish unit and she also helped on the Edinburgh pig research
unit for a year.
