FAS TV S4 Episode 30
On our final FAS TV episode of season 4, we are looking into the world of showing livestock with a visit to the Royal Northern Spring Show. We hear from the organisers as they gear up for what many consider the first agricultural show of the year. We met with show enthusiast Michael Robertson, who shares with us how showing cattle has gone from a hobby to a full-time part of his farming business, with a real focus on producing show quality cattle.
FAS TV is a weekly agricultural show which recreates traditional on-farm visits.
Designed for farmers and crofters, each episode delivers technical messages in a digestible format, with real farmers demonstrating advice in practice.
