Episode 9: Talking to Kevin Harrison about getting ready for change, saxophones and sheep

Kevin Harrison is a farm manager on a sheep and arable farm near Bath. He spends time representing the UK sheep industry through the positions of Policy and Technical Chairman for the National Sheep Association (NSA),  and Chairman of SCOPS - Sustainable Control of Parasite in Sheep. He is also a member of the Register of Sheep Advisers, and has been seen helping Jeremy on Clarkson's Farm! He is not a bad sax player either, and plays with the Harlem Rhythm Cats.

We talk about how he has been changing the flock from an intensive mule based system to a outdoor lambing system with Exlanas.
