This Farming Life

Series 6: Episode 12

For many farmers, summer means one thing - show season - and the Royal Highland Show is the highlight in the calendar.\n\nThe Barclays boys are showing pedigree Beltex and their finest Suffolks before going head-to-head in the Young Handlers competition.\n\nIt’s also a major event for budding young farmers Rachel and Camy, who, for the first time, are showing only animals raised on their own farm. Hopes are pinned on their Cheviot lamb Patch to prove she’s every bit as good as Camy predicted.\n\nAnd in Moray, Nikki and Ollie are preparing a show of their own. They’re opening up their farm gates to give the public a taste of what they’re all about.
