Or a champion rabbit? So did we, so we asked the judges. • Matt Craddock, local sheep farmer and chairman of the G&S Show’s sheep section, discusses the sheep of things to come as the brand new Wool Village spins into action for 2022 • plus: an insiders look at showing cattle, driving a steam engine and organising the equestrian events at the show. All along with a handy show timetable, the map, and a peek into the diary of a local farmer.
