Series 6

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

Two sheep farming families compete for prizes at the Mid Devon Show.

For Sharon and Andrew, showing their Coloured Ryeland sheep at the Mid Devon Show is a family affair. Gillian and Ian are among the competitors, and tears flow as results come in.

For Sharon and Andrew, farming and family is their whole life. With five grown-up children and several grandkids, there’s an army of willing helpers on hand to lead their Coloured Ryeland sheep into the ring at the Mid Devon Show. Luckily, show day is very much a family affair, so everyone is around to celebrate some impressive results. Farming couple Gillian and Ian are also competing with their Coloured Ryelands. They may be leading the way in rewilding their Devon farm, but Gillian is quite new to showing her sheep in competition. Along with pre-show nerves, there are tears when she discovers the judges' decision.
