Episode 4

Edenbridge & Oxted - Sheep and Pigs

BBC One - The Farmers' Country Showdown, Series 7, Edenbridge & Oxted - Sheep and Pigs

Farmers compete with their finest pigs and sheep at Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show.

Pig farmer Gussie and sheep farmer Hayley compete in the judging ring for prize rosettes at Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show, with welcome help from family and friends.

Hard grafters Gussie and her mum Susan are a driving force on their family livestock farm in East Sussex, where three generations muck in every day to get the work done. Gussie’s passion is her Welsh pigs, and she his as keen for her pedigree team to scoop up awards at Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show. 

Meanwhile, Kent farmer Hayley and dedicated daughter-in-law Amy round up the finest members of their flock, hoping they can rack up some top rosettes for their badger face and Kerry Hill sheep. Although farming is in Hayley’s blood, she’s a newcomer to the judging ring. Armed with courage and a competitive spirit, these farmers face some of the best breeders in the region.
