Great news - Springtime on the Farm is back in a new series on Channel 5 :-)

Adam Henson and Lindsey Chapman are giving us an insight into the work of farmers around Britain and how the Beast from the East affected them and how they dealt with it.   They are amazingly stoical, handling life and death, good weather and bad.  

Lambs, calves, piglets, chicks and kids take wobbly steps, aided often by farmers who help Mums-to-be with the births.   

The series is on Channel 5 at 8pm this week and there are five episodes.  

And if that whets your appetite and you want to find out more, you could take a look at Practical Sheep, Goats and Alpacas magazine - it's a great source of information for people who want to keep these animals, and you can get a subscription from isubscribe.com
