A Farmer's Life

Kenny, Janice and their two daughters keep sheep and cattle. With lambing just a few weeks away, they have their hands full preparing the barn.

It's peak lambing season across Northern Ireland, and wet weather is causing no end of problems.

The impact of Covid-19 starts to hit Irish farmers.

Shearing and silage gets underway, and there's an unusual start to the show season.

In May, it is time for Adrian and daughter Emily to bring the sheep in to be sheared. Thankfully they have an extra pair of hands to help organise the sheep.

June is one of the busiest months of the year. It is peak silage, but a good time to catch up with lots of other jobs while the animals are out to grass.

It's July on the farms and with a temporary lift in lockdown, it's a chance to sell sheep.

As the harvest starts, one Tyrone family is hoping for a good sale in England.

The farmers are busy with all kinds of birth plans, and as well as pumpkins.

It's the end of the vegetable harvest, and there's a spa trip for one of Claire's mares.

There is great news for one farmer, while another tends to his trees and experiments with mushrooms.

It is an early start for one young farmer to beat the Christmas rush, while another books a dentist appointment.
