Episode 94
Can understanding body condition optimise sheep flock performance? Plus, rewilding with Derek Gow
This week’s AG Show is absolutely stacked.
We’re diving into a huge project that’s been seven years in the making - Challenge Sheep - and hearing what farmers Ian and Anna Wilson have actually taken from it. It’s all about body condition, breeding ewes younger, and what that really means for lifetime performance.
Then… it gets interesting.
Never mind the bullocks, here comes the rewilder. Derek Gow joins us to explain why he ditched conventional farming to hand his land back to nature. But will any of that thinking rub off on his neighbour, Devon farmer and previous AG Show guest Derek Banbury?
Perfect timing, too - because both Dereks are about to hit the big screen in a brand new film: Derek vs Derek.
