Morgan and Tasha have only been pig farmers for a couple of years, but with over 100 pigs on their rented land near Prestatyn, they definitely mean business.

Meanwhile, Amanda's farm near Abergavenny is home to her beloved Saddleback pigs.

Show day brings the hottest temperature ever recorded in Wales, and the pigs need to be kept cool and comfortable while the farmers weather an unpredictable day of judging.

Brothers Denis and Eric have lived and worked on their Herefordshire family farm for nearly 40 years.

Meanwhile, for Powys livestock farmers Joanne and Nigel, it's all hands on deck getting their hot food stand ready for the hungry hordes of festivalgoers.

Meanwhile, young farmer Ellie is pulling out the stops to support the family business and has to go it alone on market day for the first time, as mum Penny and partner Nigel are needed on the farm.

Cheesemaking couple Allison and Jonathan in Teesdale are determined to work and live sustainably on their smallholding and do it with gusto.

Meanwhile, Tanya and her sons are getting their sociable pygmy goats in the mood with some music and walking practice. Juggling jobs off the farm with raising a family, Tanya is keen for the boys to rear their gentle goats so they can take them into care home and hospices for others to enjoy.

For both families, facing the judges leads to some surprising results.

For city farmer Claire, looking after the animals at Surrey Docks Farm in south east London is her life's work. It's a vital place for the local community to experience farming life, but making it pay for itself is a constant challenge. For Claire, winning prizes for her sheep at the Lambeth Country Show will not only be recognition for her breed, but also help with funding to secure the farm's future.

Meanwhile, self-taught beekeepers Vince and Sue create a buzz with their local honey, which they harvest from hives they keep all over the county. As regulars at market, they're past masters at attracting sales with their passion for bees and their homemade honey products. However, as the day heats up to record high temperatures, all the traders need to keep cool to capture as many sales as they can before the market closes.

James, Louisa and their young children have a full workload running their farm in north Kent. The key to unlocking more funds in the future is their Jersey herd. They've recently ploughed money and energy into making ice cream. It's early days for these first-time competitors, so to win a seal of approval for their dairy cows at Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show would be the ultimate sign of success.

Meanwhile, on Jill's smallholding near Canterbury, her finest goats are being primed for show day. While keeping their wilful characters in check, Jill tries her best to edge closer to a big win.

Sheep-farming couple Ben and Laura have struck out on their own, renting land and balancing holding down other jobs with raising their two young children.

Competition is also ramping up for Worcestershire farmers Vicky, Rob and 17-year-old son Dan, as selecting the best Border Leicester sheep to guarantee first-prize rosettes splits opinions. Both families have to contend with hot weather and the heat of judging, but they're pinning their hopes on their hard work being rewarded.

Shropshire cheesemakers Sarah and Paul use the milk from the family dairy herd to produce traditional farmhouse cheeses and butter. In recent years, they have picked up lots of awards, and they hope their tasty samples will go down well with customers at the Ludlow Food Festival so they can pocket plenty of sales and enjoy a rare day off the farm.

Meanwhile, Mike, Michelle and expert hound Oscar are digging for truffle treasure in the orchards Mike planted 15 years ago.

However, festival day is a chance for customers to try before they buy, and Mike's on a mission to introduce truffles to a wider audience.

Young farmer Katie from County Durham has just banked her A-levels and, alongside her studies, is devoted to rearing her herd of Jersey cows.

Meanwhile, sibling duo Beth and Luke plan to take up the reins of the family farm in the future, and winning awards for their pedigree Limousin cattle is their passport to success.

For goat farmer Liz, starting her own pedigree dairy herd while holding down a job as a healthcare support worker and raising two children is a real achievement. To boost income for their family farm near Snowdonia, Liz sells her goat's milk and cheese. With dreams of growing her business, she's banking on rosette wins for her finest goats at the prestigious Royal Welsh Show, with the help of her kids.

Meanwhile, near the Brecon Beacons, farmer Kitty is a passionate promoter of Welsh ponies. As the third generation of her family to care for this rare breed, Kitty wants to maintain their reputation as top breeders. Success in the competition ring will help secure that this year.

Farming couple Sarah and Richard are proud owners of Lincoln Longwool sheep and are taking their flock to Lincolnshire's Heckington Show, a major competition for this rare breed. They'll be going head to head with friends and rivals Martyn and Sadie, who know the competition is fierce and how important a win for breeders is here. As they will have heavy fleeces to handle, both families have called on their children to help ensure the rain doesn't dampen their chances of success on the day.

Dorset farming couple Richard and Sophie milk their herd of almost 400 dairy goats every day, but the raw ingredient isn't enough to turn over a profit. To drive their small business forward, they think the recipe for success is to make goat's milk ice cream, and they are on a mission to convert the public's taste buds to their alternative to cow's milk. Armed with their range of tempting flavours, including one for dogs, it's all systems go for these first timers selling at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show.

It's also an important day for young couple Tom and Emily. Their farming dream came true when they started working with veteran farmers Maggie and Quentin. They'll be joining forces to sell their organic beef to their country show customers.
