Today we welcome Liam Davies-Jones onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ From law courts to livestock sheds, Liam’s journey is one of shifting careers and finding purpose in the fields of West Wales. Once a solicitor juggling conveyancing and probate, he now manages a suckler herd alongside his fiancée Sandy, all while moonlighting as a fencing contractor and content creator! ⚖️🚜

We explore his transition from legal partner to full-time farmer, driven by his connection to the family farm and a desire for a more fulfilling life. Liam’s insights on data-driven stabiliser cattle versus traditional limousins show a farmer determined to balance instinct with innovation, discussing EBVs, carving ease, and the pressures of beef pricing. 🐂📊

Liam also opens up about social media, how lockdown TikToks turned into real-life friendships, and the power of authenticity online. From silly dances to agricultural education, his videos foster genuine connection and offer followers a window into farming reality—with humour and humility. 🎥🌾

We finish with a powerful discussion on succession, inheritance tax, and the protest movement sweeping through UK agriculture. With a background in law and a future in farming, Liam voices concerns and hopes for the industry with clarity, passion, and a grounded view on reform. 🧑‍🌾⚖️

Enjoy! 😊
