A Dairy Story

At MacRobert Arts Centre, Stirling · 1 performance from Wed 19 Aug to Wed 19 Aug.

Should a newborn dairy calf be separated from its mother? It’s the most divisive question in dairy farming. At Rainton Farm in south-west Scotland, one couple decided to do things differently. A Dairy Story follows David and Wilma Finlay as they abandon conventional methods and build the first farm in Europe to make a cow-with-calf dairy system commercially viable. What begins as a question of animal welfare opens into climate, environment, and ultimately something far more personal: a story about change, about trusting nature, and about the time we have together.
