FARMING & FORESTRY Tulchan Estate operates an in-hand livestock farming enterprise with over 700 acres of arable and grass leys, 600 acres of permanent pasture and 4,695 acres hill grazing, which support a closed herd of 150 Aberdeen Angus suckler cows and a flock of 700 black faced ewes. Much of the produce is used on the estate with the aim of providing seasonal produce in Tulchan Lodge. The in-hand farming enterprise is served by modern farm buildings at Callander and Culfoichbeg on the north side of the Spey. The in-hand farm qualifies for Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (LFASS) payments in addition to receiving Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and Scottish Beef Calf Scheme (SBCS) support. The management and conservation of wildlife at Tulchan has recently been recognized with accreditation by Wildlife Estates Scotland which aims to promote best practice in game and wildlife management. Surplus grazing is let on a seasonal basis providing further additional income.
