Ep 207 Clive Richardson: Kilnsey, Kilnsey, Have You Any Spots?

Don’t you love talking to people who know their stuff?  While crashing the Kilnsey Show in Yorkshire on our UK trip last August, we came across Clive Richardson, Field Officer for the Jacob Sheep Society.  It was a spontaneous tailgate conversation, but we magically ended up with not only someone who raises some of the most interesting-looking sheep you’ll ever lay eyes on, but he was a truly well-spoken and well-researched man.  He has more than one book on his author creds page, and we’re thinking it might be well worth a trip back across the pond.  He did write about Fell Ponies, after all.   Links:https://site.jacobsheepsociety.com/clive-richardson-pic/https://site.jacobsheepsociety.com/https://www.facebook.com/jacobsheepsocietyuk/https://site.jacobsheepsociety.com/breed-standard/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_sheephttps://www.southwestfarmer.co.uk/news/4523265.top-wool-award-jacob-sheep-breeder/http://bideaweefarm.com/ Support the show
