Joe Crowley meets Helen Ryman, who looks after the Mochrun herd of Belted Galloway cattle.

Joe Crowley meets a woman who looks after a herd of Belted Galloway cattle. Anita Rani joins photographer Keith Kirk after dark, looking for wildlife.

Joe Crowley and Anita Rani are in Dumfries and Galloway. Joe meets Helen Ryman, who looks after the famous Mochrun herd of Belted Galloway cattle. He learns that the herd was established by legendary Galloway breeder Flora Stuart back in the 1920s. Helen plans to put this famous herd back on the map, which means showing them at agricultural shows all over the land. Joe sees what it takes to get a full-grown Belted Galloway bull spick and span for the show ring. 

Anita is on a safari with a difference. She joins photographer Keith Kirk after dark, looking for wildlife. Keith reckons that nighttime is the best time to see foxes, badgers, bats and maybe even pine martens. And thanks to the latest night vison technology they could be in luck. 

Anita also joins the community volunteers looking to return trees to Dumfries and Galloway's highest places. So she puts on her hiking boots, grabs some willow saplings and sets off for the nearest mountain. 

Sean Fletcher is at Haddon Hall, one of the finest medieval buildings in the Peak District, where he helps out with some delicate restoration work. 

Adam Henson is here with the last of this year's nominees for Countryfile's Farming Hero. As more people leave the farming industry, Tom Heap investigates whether 2016 is the toughest year yet for farmers.
