In County Down, dairy farmer Derek Geddis turns to a volunteer search and rescue team after three of his cattle go missing. When the animals are found stranded in a river, the farmer’s skills and the team’s technology are put to the test in a delicate recovery mission. As daylight fades, the pressure mounts to bring the herd to safety.\n\nIn County Durham, a community support officer’s drone footage helps catch deer poachers in the act. His quick response and aerial evidence lead to a rare conviction, highlighting how modern policing is tackling traditional countryside crimes. \n\nAnd in North Wales, reporter Paul Colgan investigates how police and scientists are using dog DNA to trace the animals behind devastating livestock attacks – a breakthrough that could bring long-awaited justice to farmers. \n
