Test, Vaccinate, or Cull Badgers in Northern Ireland. Sky Lanterns. Wool Shedding Sheep.

The first phase of a 5 year trial to TB test badgers then either vaccinate, or cull them, is getting underway in Co Down, Northern Ireland. We hear from the Chief Veterinary Officer for Northern Ireland, The Ulster Farmers Union, and the Badger Trust.

The National Outdoor Events Association adds its voice to the campaign against Sky Lanterns. The lanterns frames can cause fatal injuries if livestock eat them, and they've been blamed for starting fires when they land.

And, Caz Graham finds out about the virtues of sheep which shed their own wool without the need for shearing.
