Abby-Leigh Doig studied forensic psychology, but realised that she wanted to become a farmer.
"I've always been really interested in animals in general," says Abby-Leigh.
When the farmer left, she went up to the gate and all the cattle ran to meet her. She continued to visit them at the gate every day. Abby-Leigh contacted farmers' groups on Facebook to ask how she could get a job or any experience. Eventually, someone passed her details on to a beef farmer.However, most of the others on the scheme came from farming backgrounds."I just liked cows, so I probably looked a little bit clueless in the beginning.
While women have always been involved in farming, their lack of visibility could have helped create the stereotype of farmers being old white men, she says."Males tend to be the public face of the farm and we find that in research too.
