tonker Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 A loaf of tripe made for townies IMO Agreed to a certain extent!! But without programs like these, Most urban dwellers would have no idea of what goes on in the lambing sheds across the country, or of the many nights that farmers go hours on end without sleep. Haven't seen it yet though, so might be talking out of my *****, but I expect it will be dumbed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smig4373 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I bet they don't show the knacker truck picking up the bags full of the inevitable losses...not a true reflection of farming at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Good to see robbie runciman, used to shoot on his brothers farm! It does seem to paint a rosy picture so far quite imbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonker Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just watched it. Kate Humble 'I'm now a sheep farmer ' six sheep Technically I suppose she is. but she'd never make any money feeding them like that, all the new kit as well. Still she is trying I suppose. So she invested and bought the farm up the road, with resident farmer to run it for her. Not very realistic on her part yet (rose tinted),but I think I could get to like the Scottish lad he seems a bit of a nutter!!! Still I'll watch it again, so it can't be all bad. I think it'll grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 She did say tongue in cheek about being a sheep farmer, and commented regarding bottle feeding not being ideal for others. It may not show all the gore that you see, but what it will show is that lamb for the table is not cultivated in plastic containers. I say its good, a load better than get me out of the jungle, or ice skating stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fse10 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) It may have been a good watch, but not as good as top gear that should have been on..... Edited March 24, 2014 by fse10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rimotu66 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Would be nice if they showed what the corvids do to lambs, then the dumb anti's might get off our backs a little bit. Well, not 'nice' but you know what I mean. Edited March 24, 2014 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbuss Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Did anyone else just see Kate Humble have a good old grope of that rams clock weights and going on about how much she enjoyed it? Anyone got a sheep's costume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottonseed Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Watched it earlier. Bet they get complaints about the lambing lad casually picking up the new born lamb by a back leg--and Ms Humble pushing the ewes' heads down in the dip.
