The Nicholson brothers fight to save the life of a rare type of Swiss Valais sheep, and a foal from much loved Shire horse Ruby fights to recover from a difficult birth. Elsewhere, there's a visit to a remote farm in the Pennines where spring always arrives a little later than in the rest of the North of England, and Adam Henson reports from his farm in the Cotswolds.

Adam Henson takes a brief break from lambing for some urgent work with his herd of dairy cows, and farming brothers Rob and Dave Nicholson head to a right royal farm for inspiration about a rare breed of pigs. Plus, JB Gill meets a couple who live self sustainably in search of the good life.
