Lamb Champs: Die Hart en Siel van Skaapboerdery
Channel: kykNET (DStv 144)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Food, Afrikaans
When you stand in front of a shelf full of lamb struggling to decide what you are going to put in your basket, there is a story behind each of those cuts of lamb that few people are aware of.
In Lamb Champs: Die Hart en Siel van Skaapboerdery (Lamb Champs: The Heart and Soul of Sheep Farming), Minki van der Westhuizen travels the country to tell the story of six sheep farmers.
The six-episode series follows the farmers on their journey to the Lamb Champs competition, which was held in Pretoria in 2024 and where the top sheep farmer walked away with R160,000 in prizes.
The Lamb Champs competition was started by Saai (Southern Africa Agri Initiative) because they wanted to put the story of family farmers and their lamb on the world map.
The series follows six sheep farmers – some have been settled on a family farm for generations, but others are the first generation to hire land and start farming with sheep.
The backgrounds of the farmers may differ, but they all have two things in common: pride and passion.
With soulful interviews, humour and humanity, this is a series about much more than just sheep farming.
Although it takes the viewer to where the lamb starts its journey to the store shelf, it also tells stories of perseverance and of farmers and the people in their lives who always make a plan.
