Helping You Reach Your Potential
How McCaskie works with Scottish farmers, and what we hold ourselves to.
One Sentence, Since 1957
To grow lasting relationships with Scottish farmers using the knowledge and experience built since 1957 & the latest agri-tech to optimise yield, maximise profit & sustain healthy livestock.
That is the whole of it. Yield, margin and healthy stock are the three things every conversation at the counter comes back to, and the values are what the sentence asks of us in getting there.
Seven Things We Hold Ourselves To
In our own words, unchanged.
Innovation
We value the use of cutting-edge technology and new ideas to help Scottish farmers achieve greater productivity and profitability.
Expertise
We believe in utilising our extensive knowledge and experience in agriculture to provide our customers with the best possible solutions.
Customer-Focused
We are committed to understanding our customers’ needs and working closely with them to provide tailored solutions that meet their individual requirements.
Sustainability
We believe in promoting sustainable farming practices that balance the needs of the environment, the economy, and society.
Integrity
We value honesty, transparency, and accountability in all our interactions with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Collaboration
We believe in working closely with other organisations and individuals within the industry to share knowledge and resources, and to promote the growth and success of Scottish farming as a whole.
Results-Oriented
We are dedicated to achieving tangible results for our customers, and we measure our success by their increased productivity and profitability.
What Those Words Look Like on a Farm
A value that never touches the counter is a poster. These are the places ours do.
Expertise
SQPs on the counter in every store, and all eight field reps qualified SQPs, so a medicines question gets a qualified answer before a sale. What an SQP is.
Innovation
The exclusive Fullwood dealer for Scotland, with eight engineers at Springkerse specifying, installing and servicing robotic and conventional milking, cooling, slurry, ventilation and feeding systems. McCaskie Engineering.
Collaboration
A founding franchisee of Downland since 1979 — independent merchants pooling what they know — and the names you already ask for stocked alongside it. About Downland.
Integrity
Family-run since 1957, three generations of one family, and the same name on the lorry that has to face its customers at the mart on Monday. Our story.
Results are measured the way the mission says: in your yield, your margin and the health of your stock — which is why the honest answer to some questions at the counter is “you do not need that”.
Speak to Your Local Sales Representative
