Blackfaced Sheep (1946) | BFI National Archive
This richly detailed instructional film made by the University of Edinburgh offers an unusually intimate and unsentimental account of the life of a shepherd. The sheer physicality of the job and the challenges of the environment come across in this colourful and sometimes graphic documentary. Unless you're unusually strong-stomached, you may prefer to skip the sequence showing male sheep being castrated [between 20:05 and 21:55].
A sheep farmer's work is never done - made plain by the innumerable shots of shepherds wrestling with, herding, shearing, milking and healing their flock throughout the year - as well as a hectic auction at a local market. In the main, the footage has a clinical detachment to it. But during its fleeting images of young lambs scampering around and jumping across streams, a viewer might stop to consider these animals as more than just meat and wool.
