New life is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, which means round-the-clock care for some.

In Inverkip, after a successful pregnancy scan, Rachel and Camy are getting their sheds ready for the new crop of Park Cheviot Ewes – the best in their flock. They hope the ewes will give birth unaided, but they must stay vigilant in case they need to intervene.

Nikki and Ollie welcome their first colony of rabbit kits as their breeding programme takes off. Things are looking up, but Ollie’s long hours at the maltings and the rise in cost of building materials mean their holiday pods are over budget and time.

In the Cairngorms National Park, it’s out with the old and in with the new. Robert heads to market to sell previous year’s crop of spring calves – a nerve-wracking wait to find out what this year’s profit for a year’s hard work will be. Meanwhile, this year’s calves are due, so he’s up all hours ensuring each newborn is safely delivered.
