The BBC Television
International Sheepdog Championship
Introduced by Phil Drabble with Eric HalsaU
The current International Shepherds Champion, a farmer who grazes sheep on the rough slopes of Ben Lawers in Perthshire and a sheepman who's one of five shepherding brothers make up today's team as the trials continue at Chatsworth.
And from their farms we hear of the long and savage winters where snowdrifts can bury sheep for days on end and which the shepherd takes as part of his chosen way of life.
