  • A young boy in a field plays with a ewe and chickens at Drusillas Park Zoo. He reaches down to the ground to see if the chickens behind a wire fence will come nearer while the ewe is held tight by a farm hand. Educating the young with hands-on experiences help the urban to understand the nature of farming and the sources of their food. But after this contact with livestock, the boy needs to wash his hands thoroughly as the risk of infections such as E.coli are significant – as has been discovered in other park zoos and farms. Cattle and sheep are the main carriers of E.coli O157 so hand washing using warm water and soap is an important and effective control. It is recommended that washing after working with or touching animals, their dung, manure, slurry or sewage. E.coli O157 can live for some months in the soil.

  • As early morning mist makes its way across moors and mountain grasses, we see a dead ewe that lies decomposing at a collapsed dry stone wall on Nether Moor, Derbyshire. The sheep has been left behind the rest of the farmer's flock and as it decomposes, its eyes have already been pecked out and its white front incisor teeth gaping, as if grinning in death. This is a loss of revenue of vital income at a time of economic hardship for those in this tough industry. In the background we see the moors rising to it summit in the area called Edale, a valley in North Derbyshire, 15 miles west of Sheffield, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Edale valley is a loose collection of scattered farmsteads or 'booths' as they are known which grew up around the original shelters or 'boothies' used by shepherds when tending their sheep on the hillsides.
