Aberdeen-Angus breeders to feature on BBC4 programme

BBC4’s four-part series “Mud, Sweat and Tractors: The story of Agriculture” which looks at the history of farming in the 20th century concludes on Wednesday night with a feature on Aberdeen-Angus breeders. The focus on this series is all about cattle breeding and its importance to the landscape.

The programme will also highlight the transition of where native breeds have come from as a small, hardy type of beef animal, to how the modern type of native breeds including the Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford now play such a huge role in today’s commercial beef industry.

The programme is set to follow four known native fans. The McLaren family are scheduled to make a strong presence in the film (hopefully Willie Mclaren will be singing!), along with Neville Stacey from mid-Wales who will tell the story of how Aberdeen-Angus works perfectly in line with the environment, Robert Parker from south west Scotland and the Wright family from Humberside.

The programme is showing on Wednesday night at 9pm on BBC4, any of you that miss it can view it again on BBC iPlayer.
