South Yorkshire's Cannon Hall Farm features in TV show

Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson bring us the all week’s action from Cannon Hall Farm – much of which has been filmed by the farmers themselves – on ‘This Week on The Farm’ tonight at 8pm on Channel 5.

In this first episode, summer has arrived and despite being busy looking after lots of new-born animals, the Nicholson brothers find the time to enter Ted the Highland Cow into an online country show.

Also on the farm, vet Matt has to attend to a tiny lamb with a broken leg, it's a battle of the wills between Dave and Arnie the ram at shearing time and the boys build a brand new home for their latest breed...but will they be able to get it out of the workshop and into position on the farm?

Away from the host farm, meet a furloughed worker, who has swapped life as an investment fund distributer, for asparagus as he works as a vegetable picker in North Yorkshire and join a farmer in Carlisle as turns out over 800 hundred cattle to the vast Cumbrian salt marshes for the start of the summer season.
