Episode 1

Dominic Brunt tries his hand at the traditional countryside pursuit of sheepdog trialling. We meet a goat-breeding couple from County Durham who, after decades of attending the show, go head-to-head in the competition for the very last time. And Jules Hudson and Yorkshire Vet Julian Norton get hot under the collar when they visit the forge for an extreme blacksmith challenge. Elsewhere, Countryfile's Adam Henson talks rare-breed sheep and Summer on the Farm's Rob and Dave Nicholson will be hoping that their shire horse Orchid and her young foal Rosie can bring home a coveted red rosette!
