Farmer leads 200 pregnant sheep through Yorkshire village
- 7 years ago
Amusing footage of a local farmer using his tractor to lead around 200 pregnant sheep through an English village.
The video shows the farmer driving his tractor through Askrigg in North Yorkshire, while the huge flock of ewes follows happily.
The two-mile journey, which usually takes place over five days, has been an annual tradition in the Yorkshire Dales for around 90 years and traditionally marks the start of Spring.
The sheep are taken to a safe, sheltered field where they can give birth to their lambs.
