Episode 17

Dougie follows the action at the autumn tup and ewe sales in Lairg for a programme all about sheep. He finds out how sheep and lamb sales are faring this year and why surprisingly high prices are being achieved. JJ gets a beginners guide to sheep, with a crash course in their psychology and the unique terminology to describe them. Meanwhile, Anne is at the wool grading centre in Galashiels to find out how fleeces are graded and the potential for using wool in more sustainable products in the future. Also, in the Borders, Arlene discovers the history of Scotland's biggest and most iconic breed - the Blackface Sheep. We also meet Cammy Wilson, who gave up his career in the police to follow his dream job as a sheep farmer.
