Lambing Special

• Documentary

Episode overview

Lambing season is the crux of the UK’s sheep-farming calendar – a high-stakes, hands-on period that defines rural livelihoods, demands round-the-clock care and shapes the year’s success from pasture to plate. As three of the programme's presenters know only too well... Adam Henson, Sammi Kinghorn and Matt Baker are busy on their own farms at the height of lambing season. Each has a different system and different goals. Sammi and her dad lamb large flock numbers indoors and are looking to breed the ‘best mothers’. Matt and his mum recently changed from intensive numbers to a small flock of hardy sheep outside, while Adam continues to develop ways to breed more efficiency into his flock.
