82 - Characters in Livestock - Jimmy Warnock MBE

This week a real character, Jimmy Warnock, tells us about his involvement with the original imports of Texel sheep into UK and the early rules that were brought in to control it. As well as his own successes including the great show ewe Lady Madonna, Jimmy explains the justification of the extreme high prices of some sheep today. We move on to cover his exploits judging sheep abroad. With another hat on, Jimmy has done wonderful work educating children and non-farming folk in the ways of agriculture which has in turn won him the award of an MBE.
