The Steve Irwin of Farm Animals
In For the Love of Farming, Will reveals the real inner workings of his farm in the beautiful countryside of Buckinghamshire in the UK, season by season.
In each section, Will focuses on his prized possessions - his beautiful sheep and lambs, which he dutifully 'belly bumps', 'bags' and 'dags' as the seasons require. A sixth-generation farmer, Will describes his life on the farm with his indestructible cheer and charisma.
It's relentless: the mornings are early and sometimes things don't go right, but is it fun? Of course, it's fun! In practical, illustrated step-by-steps, Will describes the processes of rearing sheep including treating them for lameness, hoof trimming and, of course, lambing, which he does with the utmost care and attention.
With his trusty pet pigs Timon and Pumbaa rolling over 'just for tickles' as Will would say, and the spitting alpacas harassing him around the clock, this is a heartwarming story of adventure and humour, rooted in Will's passion for farming and the welfare of his animals.
Farmer Will, aka Will Young, is a sixth-generation farmer who works on his lambing farm in Buckinghamshire. He has a passion for farming and he wants more people to love farming as much as he does. Will was never forced into a farming life - he almost became a professional footballer and an accountant before he returned to his farm and decided to invest his energy in the farm that he now adores. He was also an Islander on Season 9 of ITV's Love Island.
