Episode 7 of 12

An insight into modern farming life in Scotland. Lambing season is just a month away. Martin tends to their 500 pregnant ewes and gets the lambing sheds ready with dad Stevie.

Lambing season is just a month away for most of the farmers.

In central Scotland near Loch Lomond, Anne is left in charge of the farm on her own and begins by feeding breakfast to over 2,000 animals.

East of Inverness, Martin tends to their 500 pregnant ewes - and gets the lambing sheds ready with dad Stevie. Further west in Argyll, George takes a group of Belgian hunters out on a deer-stalking trip, and later he and wife Sybil co-host a judging competition where knowledge of blackface sheep is put to the test.

In the far north, John heads to the vet with a pedigree ewe that's pregnant with triplets, and the vet decides to perform a caesarean. Bobby returns and selects the sheep to go for slaughter. Martin takes two of his top bulls to market - they failed to sell before and this is their last chance. Martin's farm depends on them making a good sale, but will they attract the buyers?
