About them.
Sheep were the second chapter and the first proper lesson in how much a farmer does not know. New breeds arrived in Series Five. No Face Sheep, the plush, is out of stock.
Every animal here is farmed to British welfare standards. The programme has never edited out the difficult parts of livestock farming, and neither does this website.

British standards
Throughout, without exception.
On camera
The field cameras run all year.
Fosterable
A season at a time.
In the shop
As a nineteen-pound soft toy, usually out of stock.
These are illustrations rather than photographs — screen-printed plates in the estate palette, used wherever a genuine photograph is not available to us.
Watch them.
Field cameras, all year, including lambing.
What people actually ask.
The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.
Not on foot, most of the year — it is a working farm with machinery in it. The cameras, the virtual walk and the footpaths are the honest alternatives.
The farming does not. It made a hundred and forty-four pounds in its first year and has rarely done much better. Everything else on this site exists because of that.
Get told before everyone else
One email a fortnight about what is actually happening in the fields, the brewery and the pub — including the bits that went wrong.
