What a great loss to our whole industry . A gentleman of so many skills .Have shared meetings with Donald when others demonstrated a lack of skills and thought to myself all they need to do is watch and listen and we will all benefit .

Too busy cringing at the Hereford with halter fitted https://t.co/db8p7jA5uz would hope that someone would be present to make sure everything is correct. In modern speak an ill fitting halter is a health and safety issue!!!

This just isn’t true, and wasn’t backed up with any information on your programme.
