Episode 3 of the Smithfield Tapes hears me chatting with another great stockman, and one of the most successful cattle exhibitors at the show in its later years, Donald McPherson. Continuing the theme of the show in London he walks us through his illustrious highlights, including parties, sourcing his cattle and, of course, the Bandit.

The second episode of Toplines and Tales which will also contribute to THE SMITHFIELD TAPES. 

This time talking to top primestock duo Phil and Sharon Sellers together with renowned cattle breeder, judge and showman, Richard (Bart) Bartle about getting lost, getting drunk and other general frivolities. Oh and a few cattle too...!

Episode one, our first recording, chatting with top Scottish cattlemen, Hector Campbell, Dougie McBeath and Ian Anderson about the Royal Smithfield Show.

This episode will form part 1 of THE SMITHFIELD TAPES 

Welcome to TOP LINES AND TOP TALES, the introduction to a brand new podcast coming online soon. for those who don't know me, my name is Andy Frazier.

Over the coming months I intend to catch up with some well known characters within the livestock industry and have a chew the fat over tales from our past. The intention is that interviews will be unstructured, only lightly edited and most of all fun. Interspersed with these I also have a number of previously recorded interviews with stockmen who are sadly no longer with us.
