Series 6

BBC One - The Farmers' Country Showdown, Series 6, Mid Devon Show

Two sheep farming families enter the judging ring at the Mid Devon Show.

For Louise and Olly, a prize for their Beltex sheep at the Mid Devon Show is vital for their future. Amelia and Ben’s Charollais sheep also meet the best breeders in the country.

For Dartmoor tenant farmers Louise and Olly, winning prizes for their Beltex sheep at the Mid Devon Show means a lot. Louise needs that recognition as a top breeder to secure their future, which is especially important now their young children clearly love farming life. Meanwhile, Amelia and Ben are so committed to rearing their Charollais sheep that they rent land and hold down other jobs to make their farming dream pay. Show day is a chance to go head-to-head with the best breeders in the country, and for their four-year-old son to face the judge showing his own sheep.
