Our Yorkshire Farm

As the season progresses, the primary objective is to round up the 1,000 sheep scattered across the moors and get them ready for shearing. However, the operation is jeopardised when the quadbikes required for the round‑up are stolen, putting the schedule at risk.

The episode opens as the season shifts into summer, turning the focus of the programme onto the traditional work that comes with warmer weather. It sets the scene on the open moorland, where the community’s routine is about to be tested by an unexpected setback. At the heart of the story, the foremost task is to locate and herd a thousand sheep scattered across the moors, getting them ready for the annual shearing. The sheer number of animals and the expansive terrain make the round‑up a demanding operation, and the crew is shown organising the effort with a clear sense of urgency. Preparing the flock for shearing involves not only gathering the livestock but also arranging the equipment and transport needed to move them safely. The episode highlights the careful planning required to ensure every animal is accounted for and that the shearing can proceed without delay, underscoring how essential this work is to the local economy. Just as the round‑up is gaining momentum, disaster strikes: the quadbikes that are vital for navigating the rough moorland are stolen. This loss throws a wrench into the operation, leaving the team to confront the challenge of completing the shearing without the machines they rely on.
