There are probably people out there who think that being a press photographer is a glamorous job. Well, think again.

On today's newslist, we have a story about an exhibitor being banned from the Great Yorkshire Show after being found guilty of udder-tampering.

I'm not exactly sure what they do to the udders but, apparently, it's a heinous crime in the agricultural world, aimed at making cows more likely to win prestigious prizes.

Naturally, the news editor Andrew Douglas wanted a picture to illustrate our story - so photographer Sarah Caldecott was given the instruction: "Get out there and get me a close-up of an udder."

This is a picture of Sarah out on the job. Her udder picture will have pride of place in tomorrow's paper. 

It could have been worse - the story could have been about bull testicle tampering.
