Ewe and suckling lambs in ridge and furrow field
Description
- Title:
- Ewe and suckling lambs in ridge and furrow field
- Caption / Description:
-
Lambs suckle from their mother in a field near Clipston, Northamptonshire, England. The field bears the distinctive ridges that are a result of the medieval practice of ridge and furrow farming. The Midlands has a comparatively large number of fields where the ridge and furrow pattern can still be seen compared to the rest of the UK.
Sheep are farmed in the UK primarily for their meat, with around 20 million lambs bred each year. The vast majority of sheep meat sold in the UK is lamb, which is a sheep under 1 year old.
