There's a close shave for Pip and the Grundys have a lucrative day.

Pip's disappointed to miss today's Christmas Primestock show at Borchester Market. David appreciates her hard work with the steer, but Pip's already taking time off for her university open day on Thursday. They discuss Pip working at the farm. David feels they need to improve financially before they can employ another person. Pip has plenty of ideas, keen to focus on beef. She stresses her eagerness to complete an agricultural course with a business element, and David proudly calls her a chip off the old block. 

At the show, Eddie thinks that an Aberdeen Angus cross will give David's Hereford a run for his money. However, after some deliberation David and the steer get the first place rosette for supreme champion - native breeds. Jill can't quite place the judge, who Ruth points out is a butcher. He then pays a good price for the steer. 

Practicing Phil's favourite hymn at the church, Pip's shocked to see Jill. Thinking on her feet, Pip says she's there to dust the crib. 

Having sold several trees today, smug Eddie's keen to replenish his stock from his supplier 'Ted Fearney'. Joe warns him to be careful, as Clarrie's already dubious. Eddie says what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
