Once, the UKs farmers employed thousands of shepherds, but a slump in sheep farming has cut a swathe through their ranks; nowadays shepherds are virtually a thing of the past, & most flocks are herded by farmers on quad bikes.

The Last Shepherds follows hill shepherds Dave Baxter & Stewart & Gwen Wallace through the cycle of hill farming in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland
- lambing in spring, haymaking, shearing in the summer, then autumn lamb sales & winter feeding.

This engrossing book is an extraordinary record of a vanishing way of life on Britains traditional hill farms.
