S1 E4 Episode 4
本集简介

It's the height of summer in Snowdonia and, for hill farmers, that means shearing time. It's an important job but also a chance for families and friends working and living Eryri to come together.
Near Ysbyty Ifan, Beca Glyn and her family load their trailer to head up to the mountain where they shear their flock. Helping out is Beca's cousin Meredur a super-star shearer who travels the world with his trade. Beca hasn't picked up a set of shears in a few years but she's determined to improve her skills.
Geraint Davies has hired in old friend Hywel, an old friend and specialist shearer to lend a hand. He's not the only helper though. Geraint's young daughters Kiti and Betsi are always keen to be involved, so are tasked with rolling up the fleeces. But, like most things in farming, there's a knack which the girls will have to master if they want to become pro-shearers.
For Guto Davies, shearing day on his farm is very much a family affair with three generations helping out today. Guto's father Gwyn will corral the sheep, his brother Robin leads the shear, and his four-year old son Math is getting stuck in too. In farming land, livestock and traditions are handed from one generation to the next, something Guto and his brother know well.
In the hills above Llanuwchllyn, Rhodri Jones has been busy shearing his flock too. With all the ewes and lambs done, the final job of the day is shearing the two pedigree Suffolk rams. But these are big animals with bad tempers, so Rhodri has his work cut out as he wrestles the rams.

Episode 3

As summer arrives in Snowdonia, it's time for the farmers to gather their sheep off the mountain slopes ready for shearing. With a lot of livestock to round up and much ground to cover, a team of good dogs and good shepherds is vital.
Ken and Lisa Markham leave their own farm behind to help Ken's cousin Wil gather his sheep as they do every year. It's a favour that will be returned later in the season. It's wild and rugged terrain, too steep for quad bikes, so the only way to round up the flock is on foot with a gang of good sheepdogs.
Times are changing though, and other gathers now use technology to speed things up. Near Bala, Geraint Davies is helping to gather sheep on a large estate belonging to a local landowner. With the weather setting in, the race is on to gather the sheep, and quad bikes allow the shepherds and their dogs to cover a lot of ground quickly.
Near Ysbyty Ifan, young farmer Beca Glyn is also gathering. She needs to round up a small gang of ewes who are being sent to Anglesey. Fortunately for Beca, she has the help of her trusty sheepdog Bruce, her cousin Elin, and her young dog Bess. For all, it's a chance to work on their skills and get the job done.
On Cadair Idris, the day of the Markham's big gather arrives. They have around 800 sheep to round up from across the steep slopes of one of Wales' most impressive peaks. Ken and Lisa have called on plenty of helpers from the local community, including cousin Wil and their old friend Goronwy who has been gathering these slopes for longer than Ken's been alive. Teamwork, experience, and top-quality sheepdogs pay off, and a hard day's work means a well-earned feast for the shepherds.

Episode 5

With summer making way for autumn, the farmers of Eryri begin to reap the fruits of their labour as they send their livestock to market and prepare for the winter months.
On the slopes of Cadair Idris, husband and wife team Ken and Lisa Markham are rounding up their ram lambs. A local livestock buyer is coming to select the cream of the Markham's crop. The money made from selling these lambs will be the first major income raised from the farm for months.
Near Bala, Geraint Davies is sorting his lambs ready to be sent to the abattoir. His biggest lambs will end up on supermarket shelves across the UK, but some of his lighter lambs will exported to mainland Europe, a market that could be at risk post-Brexit.
Not all the animals sold from the farms will end up on people's plates, in Llanuwchllyn Rhodri Jones is preparing his prize rams ready for auction. These boys aren't sold for food, but for breeding, with farmers prepared to pay big bucks for the best rams. To make sure his rams fetch a good
price, Rhodri and his wife Claire give their rams the full salon experience.
Whilst the other farmers are preparing to send livestock away, Beca Glyn is attempting to bring her cattle home. They've been grazing on good quality grass on Anglesey for several months but now it's time for them to come back to the warmth of the farm sheds. Beca and her father Glyn need to get a few dozen steers to get on to a trailer, but these cattle have other ideas.
Back near Ysbyty Ifan, Guto Davies is tending to his highland cattle. This herd are part of a plan to help improve an important natural habitat. Guto is convinced that with schemes like this livestock farmers can do their bit to battle climate change.
