Our Yorkshire Farm

There are new beginnings on the horizon for the Owen family as the children take on more responsibilities, and later they decide to purchase neighbouring derelict farmhouse that they are hoping to bring back to life. Elsewhere, eight-year-old Sidney is given a sheepdog puppy to train, and 16-year-old Reuben leaves school behind to start his dream job as a mechanic.

Clive decides to introduce a sheepdog puppy to the flock for the first time, and Miles and Sidney take on more responsibilities on the farm while Reuben is busy working full time at his apprenticeship. Disappointed to miss the renowned annual Muker Fell race, Clive and Amanda decide to host their very own competition on home turf, across three miles of Ravenseat's toughest moorland.

After months of helping out and learning on the farm during lockdown, it's time for the Owen children to return to school. Clive and Amanda herd the sheep down to the farmyard, stock up on hay and everyone mucks out the derelict farm.

The Owens help Swaledale Mountain Rescue to stage a training exercise on their land. Clive and Amanda have volunteered their children to take part, by turning the drill into a gigantic game of hide and seek.

Autumn is a busy time for the Owens now they have bought an abandoned 30-acre farm with four barns and a derelict farmhouse, which requires renovation work by a specialist builder as it is a listed building set in a national park. Sidney continues training his sheepdog Nell, while Violet tends to nine-month-old calf Ciara, an animal she has hand-reared after its mother suffered an udder infection.

The Owen family members try their hand at self-sufficiency with their very first dairy cow, and Reuben accompanies his mum and younger sisters to pick up Buttercup from a neighbouring farm. Back at the farm, the family take on the toughest job ahead of the imminent breeding season, rounding up the free-roaming ewes who have spread themselves across hundreds of acres of wild moorland.

It is Christmas at Ravenseat Farm, and all nine children are home for the holidays, and this year, the family is busier than ever with a lot of calves to deliver. Fourteen-year-old Miles and his younger brother Sidney are asked to relocate their flock of hens, and work is piling up in the cowshed as Amanda's prize heifer Lily May is due to give birth to twin calves.
