Tom Mulligan | Continuing the legacy of holistic farm management, with a grass fed twist.
Tom Mulligan is a member of the Highland Beef Pastoral Beef grazier group which fattens stock in partnership with Highland Beef. His skill in doing so is the result of growing up in the country, working on the farm, his openness to education and training, and being a keen observer of nature and animal behaviour. Tom is a stand-out example of the opportunity Highland Beef presents to graziers who want to tell their story and contribute to a robust, transparent grass-fed beef supply system.
