Wish I was. Got to go to the 'mortgage-paying, keeping the animals in the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed' job instead

It's tomorrow, at West Nubbock Farm near Hexham.

It's kind of like the agricultural part of a country show but sheep only. Fascinating for sheep keepers. There'll be farm tours too, which is always interesting to see round someone else's spot - though some hosts accompany and talk you round, others just leave you in the cart on the back of a tractor.

It's geared at commercial farmers but I think there is still a lot that's interesting to any sheep keeper. Eblex usually have a great display of, for instance, poor sheep's feet, and experts on hand to help you with any problems you may have.
