The folk with the blackies near Loch lomond impressed me the most. The farmer there has been ahead of the game for some years by the looks of it and they're always smiling.!

Good program and well done to every one involved .
Just hope the general public don't think every bull calf born is potentially worth. 5k ?

The owner has nothing but bad luck when there's a camera present.
...unlike Captain Wow up in the North - he can do no wrong

Seeing them going out in all weathers may be normal for us, but I bet quite a few non farming folk thought "to hell with that!", and it put them off the "good life". Maybe even a few might have thought farmers actually work for their money....

Or working on Christmas day. None of my friends or family believe I work on Christmas day. The very idea is alien to the majority of the population.

I'm not. That's not my breed of cattle or my farming system but I'm enjoying watching them at theirs. Martin and Mel are straightforward , honest and likeable to camera.
I enjoy the whole show but I think them , Sybil and George , and Anne and Bobby come across particularly well. Normal people doing pretty normal farming. We've been spoilt for good programmes about farming recently.

I think they're all reasonably likesble, not that I particularly care whether they are or aren't but I guess the couple on Lewis don't get your vote because they weren't born to it? Bit harsh if so, because they don't appear to work any less hard than the others, although I guess they may not derive their total income from their enterprise.but I would think they're adding to the local economy a fair bit, somewhere where that is probably very much needed?
Thought Martin (think that's his name) of Anside let himself down a little at the Christmas show re being last in his class with his comments about his placing - bull appeared to walk appallingly in front as well as possibly being lame behind. Judge did right, imo - said it before - no one makes you go into the show ring - it's your choice. It's also the judge's choice on the day what they put up, so if you don't like it, suck it up and keep quiet!

I agree, but he's opened himself up, good and bad, and shows it exactly as it is.
We don't show because it wrecks the breeding part of the job but also because we are appalling losers...
