R2Kast 164 - Ifan Roberts on dairy, doubling a herd, buying almost 400 cows and Nuffield at 28!

From the lowest point at 19 to owning almost 400 cows at 28. Today’s guest, Ifan Roberts came from a farming family, his grandparents and parents operated small dairy farms in wales and he always knew it was for him but just in a much larger scale! After two years of college and around this time his parents divorce which he explains as the lowest point in his life he came out of college hungry. He knew that hunger was for big numbered dairy but didn’t know how. After getting a job on a dairy farm in Leicester of 550 he was getting his start!After a couple years there and a manager leaving he was pushed into that position and in recent years has moved that herd to 1100, almost 400 of which he owns! On that farm, the man who offered the job was now vice president of Nuffield, which is how I know ifan! He will soon be starting his Nuffield scholarship on inspiring dairy entrepreneurs…I mean who better?!?Enjoy!
