The National Trust's ram-cam set to become ewe-tube sensation
A unique 90 second video from the National Trust showing a ram's eye view as he 'meets' his new flock of ewes is set to become a 'ewe-tube' hit, say online farmers.
The ram, named Peacland Paolo, is the latest arrival at the National Trust's My Farm experiment at Wimpole Home Farm in Cambridgeshire which is aiming to reconnect people with where their food comes from.
Paolo, a Portland ram, was fitted with a camera measuring 60mm by 42mm, weighing just 167 grams last week.
The film shows him exploring his new home, giving MyFarm farmers an exclusive ram's eye view of tupping (mating).
He is expected to tup around 30 ewes over the next 4-6 weeks. The ewes will give birth to their lambs next spring.
Wimpole Farm Manager Richard Morris said: "It will be fascinating to see just what a day in the life of a ram is like.
"Although we have a good idea that most of his time will be spent grazing, sleeping and mating, it will be interesting to see it all from his point of view.
"We kept Paolo in a pen when he first arrived at the farm as part of his quarantine and so that he could adjust to his new home. But, we've now introduced him to the ewes and he's outside enjoying the grass.
"It may seem a bit strange that we want to follow and even film Paolo as he goes about his business, but farming is all about breeding, growing and harvest - so it's only right that we should come up with ram-cam. This is nature as it happens and we hope it will be seen as something that reminds people what it takes to get food on their plate. The pressure is now on Paolo to perform!"
Paolo is 18 months old and this is his first season of tupping. He is expected to mate with 2-3 ewes a day with this figure increasing to 6-8 ewes a day when he's older.
The Wimpole farm team is keeping a close eye on Paolo to make sure the camera in no way hinders his daily life, or becomes stressful for him in any way.
If at any time the camera is suspected of bothering him, the ram will be caught and the camera removed.
There are nine other rams at Wimpole who have between them 260 ewes to mate with over the next two months.
Subscribers to MyFarm will be able to watch the results of Paolo's efforts next spring in Wimpole's very own 'lambing live' when 260-300 lambs are expected to be born.

Kelvin MacKenzie signs Sports Tonight Live to VisionIPTV
Journalist and broadcaster Kelvin MacKenzie is to take to the VisionIPTV stand at this year’s MIPCOM, the world's entertainment content market show in Cannes, France, to present the launch of Sports Tonight Live, a new channel delivered via the internet on the FreeviewHD platform.
Fronted by Mike Parry, formerly of TalkSport Radio, and comedian Ian Stone, Sports Tonight Live will be the first channel in the UK to be available on the FreeviewHD platform with content delivered via broadband over the internet via an HD set top box. This enables the programmers to develop a cost effective channel with a potential reach of more than 5 million households this year, and gain total penetration to 26 million UK households by 2015.
Sports Tonight Live is the first English language channel to use VisionIPTV’s studio production and internet broadcast playout services to deliver ground breaking entertainment via the FreeviewHD EPG on channel 112.
John Mills, CEO of Vision IPTV, said: “Kelvin MacKenzie has built a reputation as a broadcaster who likes to tear down barriers, and do things his way. The capability to deliver interactive internet broadcast content, via FreeviewHD, into the living room gives broadcasters such as Kelvin the ability to deliver unique programming and new television experiences to the audience. We are very pleased to be able to host Kelvin at MIPCOM and look forward to hearing more about his vision for the future of sports broadcasting.”
The show’s format encourages live debate from viewers who contact the show via Skype video-call or Twitter. The digital interactivity can also be extended by the two way nature of the internet broadcast, providing the show’s producers with the capability to poll the audience live for instant reaction from where it counts, the fans sat in front of the TV with their remote.
Kelvin MacKenzie will appear on the Vision IPTV stand (G3.20) on the afternoon of Wednesday 5th October at MIPCOM, Cannes, France.
