New life is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, which means round-the-clock care for some.\n\nIn Inverkip, after a successful pregnancy scan, Rachel and Camy are getting their sheds ready for this year’s crop of Park Cheviot Ewes – the best in their flock. They hope the ewes will give birth unaided, but they must stay vigilant in case they need to intervene.\n\nNikki and Ollie welcome their first colony of rabbit kits as their breeding programme takes off. Things are looking up, but Ollie’s long hours at the maltings and the rise in cost of building materials means their holiday pods are over budget and time.\n\nIn the Cairngorms National Park, it’s out with the old and in with the new. Robert heads to market to sell last year’s crop of spring calves – a nerve-wracking wait to find out what this year’s profit for a year’s hard work will be. Meanwhile, this year’s calves are due, so he’s up all hours ensuring each newborn is safely delivered.
