BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Farming Today This Week: Lambing

As lambing gathers pace, Charlotte Smith looks at the prospects for sheep farming in 2015.

As the lambing season gathers pace, Charlotte Smith is in Gloucestershire to examine the prospects for sheep farmers in 2015.

As dawn breaks over Gloucestershire, Charlotte Smith is in the lambing shed to examine the prospects for sheep farming in 2015. Lambing is gathering pace in many parts of lowland Britain but farmers have an eye on events in Greece, since the weakening Euro could affect the value of lamb exports to the continent. Nancy Nicholson visits a Highland farmer who's preparing his ewes for the vital few weeks before lambing begins. And, Sally Challoner gets to grips with a plastic sheep on a lambing course in Wales.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sarah Swadling.
