Hi, and welcome to a new podcast series, set up to peak the interest of cattle and sheep stockmen and women in UK and afar. Having been a freelance stockman for many years, I am now a writer on subjects loosely related to livestock, particularly around the pedigree sector. Over the years I have met, socialised with and interviewed some men and women of exceptional talent and experience, some of which I have records of. My plan is to add to this archive, interspersing weekly live interviews with historic ones. Some of these will be of studio quality while others may be done 'on site' as it were, eg at shows and sales. All broadcasts will be vetted and authorised by the speaker, where possible. The end goal of this exercise is to create a legacy and capture some history on the subject that can be referred to in years to come.
