52:39

Jo McNicol Feirclough is what we call a character. But I think that’s being too simplistic. Because there’s a whole lot to Jo. She is, as we all are, multi-dimensional. The wonderful thing about Jo is that she’s direct about that fact. She doesn’t beat around the bush. She tells it how it is. And we often don’t know what to do with that, so we laug…

Erica "Hap" Halliday breeds Angus cattle for a living, and her story is inextricably linked with her work. But, don't think this is just a story about a farmer and her cows. Of course it is that.
