The Farmers' Country Showdown: Series 7: Okehampton Show

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

Two hopeful farming families compete with their pedigree cattle at Okehampton Show.

Farming couples Debbie and Arthur, along with Ada and Russell, head to Devon’s Okehampton Show with their loyal families to win recognition for their pedigree cattle from the judges.

For dairy farming duo Debbie and Arthur in Cornwall, their lives revolve around their cows, family and competition. With determined daughters and grandchildren in tow, they’re heading across the border to Devon’s Okehampton Show to try to retain their championship title and prove their cows are this year’s cream of the crop.

Meanwhile, Ada and Russell have drafted in daughter Jen and their granddaughters to make sure their team of south Devon cattle rack up as many rosette victories as possible. Set on the edge of Dartmoor, it’s their local show, so success in the judging ring is all important for their reputation.

Along with the heat of competition, show day brings intense sunshine and thousands of spectators keen to see who walks away a winner.
