Reply to comment by dicewhore in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos

Yep! Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear/the Grand Tour. He bought some farmland years ago but the caretaker he had on retired, so during the pandemic he decided to give farming a try, and made a show! It’s super entertaining, totally worth the watch.

Watched it thinking he’d make an absolute muppet of himself, which to be fair he does. But he also gets how bloody hard farming is, it’s a great series.

He can be a bit insufferable at times, but I appreciate how self aware he is. I haven't looked at the farm show yet since I prefer listening to most of my entertainment and this one sounds like it deserves a proper watching.

Definitely. It’s one of the better things he has done. He is far less of a bellend in that than the other things he does.
