Sheep for a Reason

a tale of wool, history and new life on the farm
As a new season unfolds on the farm, internationally renowned sheep breeder Sue Andrews uncovers the surprising story of sheep farming through the ages in Britain - and how the skills of the past may hold the key to the farms of the future
History, wool and modern life on the farm: the story of how a nation's prosperity came from the backs of sheep

'Everywhere I look, not only on our farm but further afield, the Cotswolds scream of history and heritage .'

The traditions of sheep farming are at the heart of Sue and Aubrey's prize-winning flock of pedigree texels. Heritage is everywhere - in the long lines of drystone walls, the freshly cut hay, and the daily hard work of a shepherding life.

The landscape of Britain has been shaped by sheep and for sheep for thousands of years. They have driven prehistoric wool spinning, built medieval churches, paid a king's ransom and even been the focus of a deadly international smuggling trade.
