All hands are on deck to ready the sheep for the auction ring, while the children are busy baking entries for the most exciting event of the year, the village farm show.

For Clive and Amanda, the race is on to make the farm's hay crop in the searing heat, while also entertaining their giant brood during the summer holidays.

With the arrival of spring comes the start of lambing season and the whole family work together as lambing begins on the wild moors of their exposed hill farm. 14-year-old Rueben leads his siblings on a rescue mission to find a missing lamb and when dad Clive skins a dead lamb, two-year-old Clemmy is curious to know how an age-old adoption technique will work.

As a blizzard blasts the farm, the Owen family must protect their 1,000-strong flock of sheep, and mend the farm machinery to keep the animals fed.
