    John Murray comes across as an absolute gentleman who knows his stuff and makes every decision with careful consideration and real passion. He's making a lasting mark on the legacy of the breed at Cross flat.

      I agree wholeheartedly about this comment. FED by Farmers showcases the farmers in the area, but to have them as a cameo within their farm and community would be something I would enjoy to see. Thank you for sharing. Thank you to John Murray and spotlight on Iona as well.

    This was indeed a great treat. We've come to love Iona, and it's easy to see where she has inherited her lovely nature and smile. Mr. Murray is a real gentleman and a brilliant role model for younger shepherds coming up through the ranks. I'm glad that Cammy and Lizzy have him in their life. Beautiful photography work too. Thank you so much.❤

      Could not agree more
      John reminds me of dad
      He is an ethical man, comfortable in his skin who loves the land and the animals in his keeping.
      Agree the video is a very powerful professional profile

    What a brilliant talk by John Murray about his sheep and being a "caretaker" of his sheep and the farm continuing a tradition but also constantly trying to push forward and develop the business and the farm with its livestock to meet the commercial needs of the industry.
    Judging by the results of the tup sales this year very many flockmasters consider that he is at the absolute forefront of this development to meet the commercial needs of flockmasters.
    Total congratulations to everyone involved in putting this video together. Dan

    So coming from a sheep farming and sheep history point of view, these are bloody fabulous Lanark sheep. We farm a varient of the Scots Blackface in Connemara. They are fine hardy sheep from the Newton Stewert line, finer boned than these Crossflatt. But these are fabulous, amazing conformation. A bit lowland, mind you😁

    This was a truly fantastic documentary film. So well produced. And John Murray's passion and pride in his work came through beautifully. He is just the sort of farmer I think most of us would like to be, if we were farmers. What a lovely man! Iona is a chip off the old block to be sure. Well done team!
    I would just mention, the closed captioning is not great. When you can, you might get someone to fix that.
