Episode 1

The team find out what’s been going on across the Scottish countryside during the early months of the farming year.

In January, we follow sheep farmer Cammy Wilson as he scans his ewes to find out how many lambs are due, and Dougie discovers the benefits of fodder beet, a highly nutritious energy crop to keep livestock going through the colder months. Meanwhile, Anne is at the bull sales at Stirling Mart meeting the Stronach family, who are showing and selling their livestock, and hoping for top prizes and prices.

Dougie is at Cairnborrow Farm, in Aberdeenshire, where he meets young farmer Nicola Wordie as lambing gets under way. And Arlene is in Perthshire watching a family of beavers being released into their new home.
