On Your Farm

Available for over a year

Agricultural shows act as a shop window for farming. Caz Graham prepares sheep in Cumbria ready to be paraded on display this summer in the hope that they will sell well later in the year. The Buckles family breed Beltex sheep near Kirkby Stephen in East Cumbria. If the sheep perform well at agricultural shows then their price will increase when it comes to auction time. But the family is divided - the parents have one flock and their sons another - and this year they will be competing against each other to win a prize at the Great Yorkshire Show. Presented by Caz Graham. Produced by Emma Weatherill.
