This Farming Life

Rachel and Camy are getting ready to receive the new batch of Park Cheviot lambs this spring. Meanwhile, Nikki and Ollie's rabbit breeding programme is proving successful in their flock. Robert is travelling to market to sell the calves born the previous year locally.

This episode of the series centres on a day‑to‑day look at rural life, following a handful of farmers as they go about their seasonal tasks. It’s presented as a straightforward programme that captures the rhythm of farm work without any added narrative framing. The main storylines intersect around three separate endeavours. First, Rachel and Camy are busy getting ready for the arrival of this year’s Park Cheviot lambs. Meanwhile, Nikki and Ollie celebrate the success of their rabbit breeding programme, which finally starts to produce results. Finally, Robert makes his way to market with the calves that were born the previous year, aiming to sell them off. Rachel and Camy’s preparations involve checking the lambing pens, ensuring feed supplies are stocked and making sure everything is in place for the newborn lambs. Their focus is on creating a safe, comfortable environment for the new flock. Nikki and Ollie’s rabbit project reaches a milestone as the first litters emerge, confirming that their breeding plan is working. At the same time, Robert loads the year‑old calves onto his vehicle and heads to the local market, where he hopes to find buyers for the animals that have been rearing on his farm.
