    Watched a recorded episode tonight. Very good show.

    The one tonight visited a dairy farmer with a robot set up. I'd say Lely must be furious as there was a film of cow shyte on everything. One would at least clean the milking cups before a film crew arrived.

    Well they have most types of farming covered and from different parts of the country.
    I thought the one breeding a new breed of sheep from rouge ewes and beltex rams was interesting.
    Also nice looking setup in dovea with being able to clean out the front and back of the bull pens and without having to get into the same pen as the bull.

    Was quite good, enjoyed the bit in the Ox mountains with the sheep.
    The lad selecting animals for slaughter must've said ''70 days'' about five or six times in the space of 30 seconds though :D

    Beltex, they're a double muscle breed.

    did ye see the lad agitating the tank,

    the yard was immaculate

    you would eat your dinner off the concrete id say

    he even power washed the agitator before lifting it out of the tank

    super organised

    Yeah, I think that lad has "70 days " embedded in his brain. That's some shed he has tho. Those Beltex sheep must be the Belgian Blues of the sheep world, serious muscle on them.

    There's also one called ''The Mart'' which is filmed at...you guessed it...a mart! Thainstone Mart in Scotland to be exact. This link might work to watch it, unless you have BBC Scotland- http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06xzsc8

    The beltex remind me of the American bully dogs to be honest! Low built and waddling round the place. Or wendy the whippet who was born with the double muscle gene and looks ridiculous!- http://2013ritemail2014.blogspot.ie/2013/04/incredible-muscular-dog-wendy.html

    Yea that's a disgusting festival, I wouldn't mind it so much if the conditions the questionably procured dogs were kept in was much better.

    After I posted my comment I thought to myself, although I regard the practice as abhorrent one has to accept the traditional culinary choices of other cultures.

    I've never been to the balmoral show, would it be a similar type of event to Tullamore?

    Stayed in it for the three days a couple of years ago. Was great craic, might do it again this year!
    Would be quite similar in size, was only at Tullamore once so can't say for sure tbh.

    Been there a couple of times. Brilliant show. Parking is all on concrete and so is the actual show as it was an old prison. Load of animals there, not a serious amount of farm machinery but alot of plant gear.

    I think there is still a working prison on site. It's handy enough to get to

    Is there a need to mention at the beginning of the show that some viewers might find some scenes distressing, is this not publicising issues more?
