Video Short : Showing Sheep, Cumbria

A curious Herdwick sheep inspects the camera in this brief glimpse of the action at this year’s Matterdale and St John’s Show. Each year, commoners whose sheep graze the nearby fells select their best sheep. In this Herdwick Ewe class, the judge watches the sheep walk around the show area, and then asks for them to be collected back and brought into line.
