BBC Two - This Farming Life, Series 6, Episode 12

The Barclay boys step into the ring at the Royal Highland Show.

The Barclay boys hope to win the coveted Young Handler trophy at the Royal Highland Show. Rachel and Camy put their hopes in lamb patch. Nikki and Ollie open their doors to the public. 

For many farmers, summer means one thing - show season - and the Royal Highland Show is the highlight in the calendar.

The Barclays boys are showing pedigree Beltex and their finest Suffolks before going head-to-head in the Young Handlers competition.

It’s also a major event for budding young farmers Rachel and Camy, who, for the first time, are showing only animals raised on their own farm. Hopes are pinned on their Cheviot lamb Patch to prove she’s every bit as good as Camy predicted.

And in Moray, Nikki and Ollie are preparing a show of their own. They’re opening up their farm gates to give the public a taste of what they’re all about.
