On the remote island of Papa Westray, the Baker family need to pregnancy scan their 64 ewes, but their flock is running amok. They have timed lambing to happen after Mel has her baby, which is due imminently. With no hospital facilities on the island, the entire family prepare to leave for mainland Orkney.\n\nIn Dumfries and Galloway, Nick and his dad Derek are in the thick of lambing and calving. Nick is exhausted from lambing his dad’s traditional flock, and as night falls, a calf’s life hangs in the balance.\n\nAt Hillhead Farm, Ben is back to help with lambing, while eldest son Matt takes prospective clients to visit the hilltop event site in the middle of an amber weather warning. Keziah returns home in time for a visit from a group of nursery kids, who get an impromptu biology lesson.
