Edmund Sutcliffe is a third generation cattle farmer from Winchester, UK with a decade of experience in cattle breeding and fattening enterprises of significant scale. He was born on his family farm and has been around cattle since he was 5 years old and actively handling them from 10 which has given him love, instinct and experience when dealing with them, complimented by a Low Stress Cattle Handling course with Miriam Parker.
On completing his Chemistry Masters at Oxford he learnt everything he could about Regenerative Agriculture, taking courses in Permaculture, Keyline Design and Holistic Management, culminating in an internship at Richard Perkins’ world-famous farm in Sweden. After this he worked with 3LM, the Savory Hub for the UK, becoming certified as an Accredited Professional through the Savory Institute, leading training in Holistic Management and becoming an Ecological Monitor.
He managed his family farm for 5 years before starting Conscious Cattle, bringing about many changes including conversion of the farm to Organic, the cattle going fully Pasture For Life, selling beef direct to customer, replacing the arable cropping with very diverse herbal leys and verifying the regeneration through ecological assessment from 3LM.
All this has given him a deep insight to the incredibly complex problems that farmers face and supporting them to regenerate their land, finances and relationships brings him huge joy. His upbringing on the family farm, combined with his findings and experience on cattle properties on 4 different continents, awakened him to the need to integrate our management of land, cattle and people.
He founded Conscious Cattle in 2024 with the vision of creating a new global nation, with farmers as the foundation, built on healthy land, cattle and people.
His love of cattle, the land and the people on it is what drives him forward.
