This farming life

I loved the excitement of the two ladies with their pigs and highland cattle. I admire them all for their devotion to their chosen profession, especially when they have to suffer the devastation caused by negative TB tests. Heartbreaking.

I like it- the pigs were gorgeous DH has a thing about bulls - envy I think!

Oh yes me too Greyduster Those pigs were adorable but I think they might end up getting too attached . Likewise those beautiful highland cattle .

I love MARIO the prize bull Teetime I was wondering how many calves he has fathered over the years . I think they were considering selling him after they got the all clear from TB .

Glad it’s not just me who us loving it

I love programmes like that, and much as I'm drawn to farming and country life I'd get too attached to all the animals. Years ago there was a programme following a farming family in Yorkshire and the wife had produced 5 children herself and they all joined her in the chores, so rosy-cheeked and healthy.

My own cousin farmed on land in West Yorkshire which was once owned by the Haworth's to which he gained a degree in animal husbandry.

Hard lives at times but they all seem happy and love their work.
