Business as usual for Invergordon beef producer

“It will be a challenge for everyone, but there isn't much outside contact out on farms,” he said.

“I don't think the coronavirus will affect our business; it depends on China, they still need to eat and the demand for meat will still be there.”

Mr Cameron is the owner of Inverleigh Simmentals and has 40 stud cows and 60 commercial.

“We sell calves at 10 months old three times a year, and next week a dozen calves will be going to get sold to Robson Donaldson livestock agents in Shepparton for our domestic supermarkets,” he said.
