We are extremely lucky to be able to offer you some out of this world, Hebridean Hogget.

These Hebrideans have come from Mel & Richard Groundsell of 411 Smerclate – Red Roof Uist.

This is a bit more about them in Mel’s own words:

I’m from Uist, and spent my childhood here and we have been back and forth ever since as a family. We lived up at the Butt of Lewis for eight years when our daughter was young, then moved back to Glasgow for work, and then moved back again here to Uist in 2019 to take on the family croft.

In addition to the sheep, we run cows and have a couple of weaners every year for the freezer. We grow our own hay, and winter forage for the animals, and try not to rely too much on bought in feed.

They are lovely, happy animals and we are very proud of the exceptionally high welfare standardswe maintain on the croft. Thats why it is so important to us to choose a quality butcher like Macbeth’s. Jock and the team respect that slow grown approach and value animal welfare as highly as we do.
