Patrick Toe
LIVESTOCK MANAGER
Although Pat doesn’t call himself a farmer, much of his time is dedicated to our old English longhorn cattle, Tamworth pigs and Exmoor ponies. He handles the animal paperwork, fencing, farm inspections, 4×4 driving instruction, tractor work, helps out on the regen farm, and also gives the occasional guided tour.
Pat started working at Knepp in 2009. Prior to that he spent 18 years as an arborist in the wood gang at Leonardslee Gardens and continues to play drums in a kick-ass rock band.
“The cattle are the thing I spend the majority of my time on. I”m having to react and adapt as the cattle and our land evolves. Developing my skills and understanding of Bud Williams cattle handling is a long-term undertaking. It”s proving to be rewarding and frustrating in equal measure.”
