The Farmers' Country Showdown: Series 7: Kilnsey Show

Episode 1

Kilnsey Show

BBC One - The Farmers' Country Showdown, Series 7, Kilnsey Show

Two keen sheep farming families compete at Kilnsey Show in the Yorkshire Dales.

Sheep farming couple David and Charlotte, and father-daughter duo James and Hannah, compete with the best of their flocks at Kilnsey Show, an unmissable Yorkshire Dales event.

Busy tenant farming couple David and Charlotte rear their sheep and cattle in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales with help from their young, enthusiastic children and are so determined to build a secure future for the farm that they both hold down second jobs. With their finest sheep in tow, the family are pinning their hopes on winning at Kilnsey Show, and to up their chances, they’re entering 18 different classes! 

Meanwhile, near the North York Moors, father and daughter James and Hannah are pulling out all the stops with a photoshoot of their first-class flock, in the hope that they can hold onto their championship trophies at Kilnsey Show this year. Being Dales country, though, competition is extremely tough among the hundreds of sheep farmers being judged today.
