I am glued every afternoon to the BBC programme where farmers are followed by camera, preparing their animals for the Show Ring. Yesterday there was a new breed of sheep from. Holland - do we really need another breed $:-\$ as well as a farmer allowing his to inter-breed to improve hardiness: is that allowed?

Perhaps not in the show ring but why not? There's no point breeding sheep that can't survive a British winter. Very few of our ewes are pure bred.

Tnx. I love those Swiss imports

but I wonder if the Dutch - a bit like Jacobs to look at but larger all round - would survive here.

Do U allow your ewes to cross with what they please, this farmer yesterday seemed to let rams run with what ever he had in the field.

A herd of 14 cows has been stolen from a shed on a farm.

They were loaded on to a large lorry from the site on the outskirts of Llanerchymedd on Anglesey, on Saturday night.

North Wales Police officers are investigating and appealed for witnesses who saw them being taken away.
