I think Clarkson has done a great deal of good for the farming community. Whilst the show is a lot of the time exaggerated, it still shows what farming is about and how hard it is to make a living from it now. I think it has shown a lot of people who before hand had no idea about farming, what it acctually involves. No complaints, I think he’s doing a great job

Also more courses will be coming out soon. I’ll start with more popular/ requested ones so if there’s anything you would like to see let me know and I’ll get them done first! Some of the ones I will be doing include: Lambs. From pregnancy to plate Cade lambs. The process of reading cades into healthy strong sheep or fat lambs The process of a breeding sheep flock Improving flock health Managing feet, worms and more Why I chose breeds and what the benefits of different breeds include Fencing Also some based more around arable farming such as combining

This is brilliant! Shows that we had it right years ago! Before money and profits took over looking after the country and its people!

@Lisa O'Brien great thankyou! Will try and get some photos and videos during

@Kerry Souter good question, I’m not massively familiar with the specific needs of pigs but will do a bit of research. But here’s what I would say, assuming pigs are happy on their own, then yes it’s very possible to do it ethically. Even then pigs are very intelligent so I imagine that even if they typically do better in numbers, with enoigh attention and care a pig would likely be quite happy. You would have to decide how you plan to keep a pig, would you have it free roaming around the house? Or would you have a specific place it lives. It would need outdoor space, better its own space as pigs tend to make a mess! (This makes them very good ground clearers) but not so good if you like a tidy garden. A pig hut, suitably sized enclosure and suitable feed would be a good start. It used to be quite a common thing that people would keep ‘pet’ pigs at the bottom of the garden, they would feed it all the scraps from meals, probably surplus food aswell, then when ready slaughter and eat. Another factor to consider is vet bills, farm animals can be costly. Pigs can also live for a very long time (up to 20 years) so that would play a big factor in it. After doing a bit of research, there are mixed reviews about pigs being alone. Whilst they can do well on their own. Pigs are generally quite sociable creatures so more than one would be a more ethical idea (obviously this increases all the other needs) Let me know if you have any other questions or I have missed something.
