Farm work is challenging but Ken Robertson Jr. and Ken Robertson III say they relish the father-son bonds formed while clearing pastureland for cattle and sheep at Rannoch Farms in Statesville. Ken Robertson Jr.
and Ken Robertson III move sheep in a pen at Rannoch Farms in Statesville on Monday. Rannoch Farms, named after the ancestral home of the Robertsons in Scotland, was bought in 2005. It was hardly a finished product, they said.
Trees had to be felled, fences erected, and land cleared. "Trey" as the younger Robertson is sometimes called, said the work did not call to a teenager. He added that he can look back now and realize the work helped make him who he is today.
"So, when you wake up in the morning, you're just mad. You're mad at the world, you're mad at everything. You're mad at your situation.
But at the end of the day, there's a different feeling," Trey said as he talked about weekends helping his dad. People are also reading..
