Can you read the body language of a sheep ? What inspired Rosamund to write her book? Is sugar the cause of all our problems?

In this episode, we welcome Rosamund Young to talk about her latest book, 'The Wisdom of Sheep & Other Animals: Observations from a Family Farm'.

Growing up on the family farm, Rosamund shares her fond childhood memories and following in the footsteps of her first-generation father.

With a passion for organic farming, Rosamund expresses her beliefs for less processed food and highlights the impact that diet can have on a person's behaviour.

Discussing flail mowing and cutting, Becca and Rosamund differ on perspectives and pose the question of what it means to be a welfare- conscious farmer.

Finally, we learn more about Rosamund's experiences with sheep and how in her farm life, she has found sheep to be characteristically individual- a long way from the usual 'like sheep' phrase we often hear.

Plus, you can learn more about our Christmas giveaway!.

As always, thanks to our sponsor Howden.
