 This episode we have a bumper installment in our Legendary cattlemen series, talking about one of the world's greatest ever stockmen, Dave Smith. Chatting with two men who knew him well, his sidekick of many years, Norman Taylor and well respected Angus and Charolais breeder, Dave Murray, his pals reveal some hilarious stories about a talented man who enjoyed life. We talk about Smithy's highly successful years with Aberdeen Angus at Westdrums including the bull Evesund of Dupplin and his subsequent career and unrivalled record of 17 breed champions at the Royal Highland show with animals such as Edwina 112th, Early Sunset Coalition and the famed Mushroom Friar Fergus, as well as a few yarns involving some alcohol!
