Lambing in Wales
Anna Hill learns about the farmer's year on a sheep farm, as the whole programme comes from a Welsh uplands farm at lambing time.
Anna Hill meets farmer Richard Roderick on his sheep farm in the Brecons, where the whole programme is basing itself to reflect the busiest time of year - lambing. Two weeks in and Richard and the family have around a thousand lambs, including six sets of triplets born overnight. Some ewes will lamb on their own, but others need a little help, and Emma Campbell has been on a course to learn the skills. We also hear from a Dorset farmer who's lost many lambs to dog attacks - the advice is to keep your dog on a lead. The producer is Sally Challoner.
