BBC One - The Farmers' Country Showdown, Series 5, Farden

Billy and his nephew face the national champion - Billy's father - at a sheepdog trial.

Billy and his nephew face the national champion - Billy's father - at a sheepdog trial, and we meet Melissa and Kenny, who now breed and train sheepdogs after downsizing their farm.

Today, we meet farmers whose sheepdogs aren’t just invaluable for the help they provide on their farms. Billy and his nephew Jock have both had some success at sheepdog trials in the past, but there has always been one man stopping them reaching the top - the national champion: Billy's father, Jock Sr. Today, they hope to beat him for once.

Melissa and Kenny decided to downsize their farm after Kenny suffered a life-changing accident. They now breed and train sheepdogs, and they are hoping two-year-old collie Sally will be the one to get Kenny back into the national team.
