Initially it was a Scottish television production.

Over a number of series it has featured farms from Northern Ireland and the North of England.

I was joking, hence smilie face emoji things. Having said that, the last 20 pages of criticising other farmers doesn't sit well with me.

I must of missed that bit, did they say she’d been served by two dogs?? I just thought it was a freak gene popped up??

^^^^^
This - she said it is a known throwback not common but not unheard of

That goes with farming. We all spend more time looking over the hedge than at the road. Nothing wrong with criticism as long as it is not malicious.
Some of the antics are certainly worthy of comment and surprised HSE have not paid some a visit in previous series.

Tis only like a cow having twins, one a Blue, one an Angus say from a fertility plus straw I guess.

And a ewe with a suffork and a texel

Better that they are Scottish.
Otherwise we’d end up watching good lifers Tarquin and Araminta trying to farm Quinoa in Surrey with their vegan cockapoo.

Its a shame it doesn't help farming pee poor reputation for heath and safety,

Just watched it with the kids, and after she said it I was just waiting for the inevitable awkward question so I did what any dad would have done in that situation........

I got up and turned to the wife and said "I'm just checking the new calves love" and trotted out the door!

I'm really surprised about there being no market for the ostriches, when we visited an ostrich farm in Arizona in 1996 they told us that every part of the ostrich was fully utilised right down to chemical manufacture, even the toes and so on used for something.

Interestingly they had a llama which roamed the passageways between the pens, it was there to keep the coyotes away.

Finding a market is not usually the issue, it is usually the logistics of getting them there - in particular, slaughter.

Probs selected her Hubby on the same basis...

Took her a while to settle down, known her for a good few years but it had to be a special kind of bloke to take on her lifestyle
