Lambing is big business but it is also a gamble. Kate Humble and Adam Henson have been broadcasting live from the Marston family farm in Cumbria for a week. How many lambs have been born? How many have made it through the week? 

Hill farming can be risky and Kate discovers that being a farmer is as much about the books as anything else, while Adam finds out more about the rather unusual looking Manx Loaghtan sheep. 

Plus anything can happen as the lambs just keep on coming and work is by no means over. The Marstons will still be lambing come Easter.
