Welcome back to the 50th episode of Head Shepherd! This week we hosted a live Q&A where Mark answered your questions. This is a recording of that live stream.

Mark answers questions about the polled gene and the variations that exist there, about breeding for lamb growth without ending up with excess adult weight and more.

Thank you to everyone who has listened so far, we have thoroughly enjoyed producing the past 50 episodes for you and can't wait to bring you the next 50.

We will be taking a week off, and will be back on the 27th of September.
