We had one of your bred tups a few years back (racy ghyll gulliver) up here in Shetland. We have a flock 100ish herdies, the locals don’t like it but we have had had them for 30 + years and won’t be changing. Great sheep great flock.
Everything you say makes 100% sense to me - and all the more so since you say this from within the experience, not wishing it were so from an outside, perhaps nostalgic or ill-informed, or romantic point of view. It's very hard to stop the rate of change that we're all experiencing, which makes good decision making, even if it happens, become obsolete in ever-shortening time. I hope that changing climates call a halt and a pause to re-think, and not the destructive path that may yet unfold.
Beautiful video, fabulous land, magnificent sheep, thank you
