Hello, I’m Mollie Keiley<\/strong>. I\u2019m 17 years old and have grown up on a small holding just outside Haugh of Urr. I have been a member of Stewartry YFC since 2021! I am currently finishing my last year of school and then going on to study Rural Business Management at the Barony.<\/p>\n Q&A<\/strong><\/p>\n What is your story away from YF (employment and other hobbies)<\/strong><\/p>\n I have been brought up around Belted Galloways, first helping my granny show, now we\u2019ve built up our own herd we have now been showing for about 5 years keeping up with the family tradition! Why did you join?<\/strong><\/p>\n I joined Stewartry as it became clear through my job that I would find my type of people in young farmers! I hoped that it would grow my confidence in areas I would normally avoid such as Concerts and Talent Spots.<\/p>\n What have you got out of YF?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think the main thing I have gained from young farmers is confidence in myself and the ability to speak publicly. What do you want to get out of YF in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n I hope that through young farmers I will travel, meet new people, gain new skills and hopefully try to make a positive impact on young farmers and the industry in general!<\/p>\n What\u2019s your random fact?<\/strong><\/p>\n I told the school I was off with a sickness bug and then was seen on Border News at the Highland Show competing in young handlers, it\u2019s safe to say the headteacher wasn\u2019t best pleased!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re putting our New Members in the Spotlight, asking them about their YF experience and their hopes for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":16787,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"venue":[],"class_list":["post-16869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nI am also a keen sailor and have been racing at Solway Yacht Club for a number of years!
\nI currently work at the Laurie Arms in Haugh of Urr which is owned by a local farmer\u2019s wife, it introduced me to young farmers as they are the main clientele!<\/p>\n
\nI have now produced a talent spot myself which is something I could have never imagined I would do! Young farmers is constantly opening me up to new things and I am so grateful for that!
\nI have also found an amazing group of friends I wouldn\u2019t have elsewhere!<\/p>\n
