"Our Yorkshire Farm" Spring

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,200 Hill Shepherds, Amanda and Clive Owen live on one of the most remote farms in the country, 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,680 where they're raising nine children. 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,720 You know, you have one, and then it's two, it's like double trouble, three, it's just 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,320 a bit more pressure, four, yeah, it's a bit extra, five, it doesn't matter any more. 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,500 We're following them across four seasons, over a year of the most extraordinary and 6 00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,120 extreme weather that country's ever faced. 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,780 Oh, it can hardly breathe. 8 00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:28,920 From battling the beast from the east... 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,580 Reuben, you take these little ones back down and get them thawed out. 10 00:00:33,580 --> 00:00:36,600 ... to enduring the most severe summer on record. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,100 It's been so hot, it's burnt all the grass away, people knackered. 12 00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:45,860 And discovering how this unique family copes with the challenges of their remarkable life 13 00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:46,860 by working together. 14 00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:47,860 Not happy. 15 00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:51,320 No, it's not happy. 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760 Raven helps look after the little ones. 17 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,300 Reuben, he's always tinkering with something. 18 00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,060 Niles really loves farming. 19 00:00:58,060 --> 00:01:00,420 Edith, she's really good with the sheep. 20 00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:02,820 Then there's Violet, just such a tomboy. 21 00:01:02,820 --> 00:01:04,940 Sydney, he's cute. 22 00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:15,860 Then we've got Annis, Clemmie and Nancy. 23 00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:19,580 This week, the family takes on the challenges of spring. 24 00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,660 Sadly, she has loved him, but not in time. 25 00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:30,420 As hard as you can to keep them all alive, and you win some, you lose some. 26 00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:32,300 Amanda juggles family life. 27 00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:34,100 It's a logistical nightmare. 28 00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:36,340 It really is. 29 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:38,900 Fourteen-year-old Reuben leads a rescue mission. 30 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:41,740 Be careful and be thorough. 31 00:01:41,740 --> 00:01:43,860 Time is of the essence here. 32 00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:45,220 Come on, quick. 33 00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:48,900 Four-year-old Annie saves a baby in distress. 34 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,900 Pull, pull. 35 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:52,300 Brilliant. 36 00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:55,820 And two-year-old Clemmie faces a harsh reality. 37 00:01:55,820 --> 00:02:01,580 You can't be on a farm and shield them from everything that happens in life. 38 00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:02,580 Not happy. 39 00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:04,580 No, it's not happy. 40 00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:05,580 Not happy. 41 00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:06,580 No. 42 00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:14,660 Raven Seat Farm sits in the north of the Yorkshire Dales. 43 00:02:14,660 --> 00:02:20,940 At 1,800 feet above sea level, the family's exposed home is surrounded by wild, steep 44 00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:23,060 and rugged moorlands. 45 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:29,940 It's late March, and lambing has just begun. 46 00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:33,940 The family's pregnant flock will deliver all of their year's lambs over the next eight 47 00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:34,940 weeks. 48 00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:35,940 Kit, come by. 49 00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:36,940 Come by. 50 00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:37,940 Come by. 51 00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:38,940 Come by. 52 00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:45,020 We've got 800 expectant yows, somewhere about there, 800, 850. 53 00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:46,020 You look forward to it. 54 00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:47,020 It's exciting. 55 00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:48,020 It's definitely exciting. 56 00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:54,020 You feel like you're really battling against higher forces, I suppose, and you don't always 57 00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:55,020 win. 58 00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:57,020 Every year brings its own troubles. 59 00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:02,020 If it rains loads, then you get troubles with hypothermia and stuff like that. 60 00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:06,020 If it gets too warm, you get more troubles with bugs. 61 00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:09,020 You have to be on hand for if it all goes wrong. 62 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:17,020 The family and flock have endured an especially cold, wet winter. 63 00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:22,020 And at the start of the spring season, the weather shows no signs of improving. 64 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:23,020 It's a tough place. 65 00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,020 It's a very tough farm. 66 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:30,020 I've been here 30 years, but I don't think I've ever seen as late a spring. 67 00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,020 No, I don't. 68 00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:37,020 We're having to feed and feed and feed to try and keep these sheep going because, you 69 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:41,020 know, there's just nothing growing, nothing to eat. 70 00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:43,020 They're losing condition all the time. 71 00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:48,020 It's certainly going to be less lambs than usual because for some reason there's been 72 00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:52,020 a bit of something wrong with them and there's quite a few aborted. 73 00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:56,020 So there's more going to go away without lambs than usual, without a doubt. 74 00:03:57,020 --> 00:04:02,020 With fewer lambs expected this year, the pressure is on to maintain their flock. 75 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:05,020 You want to check her bag? 76 00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:07,020 Let's have a look. 77 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:11,020 But the family has learnt to cope by sharing the workload. 78 00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:15,020 I need to replace the gate with my dad. 79 00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:18,020 Sydney, you tie up one side, I'll do the other. 80 00:04:18,020 --> 00:04:20,020 Not the other end. 81 00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:21,020 I don't need the ring. 82 00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:22,020 No, the other end. 83 00:04:22,020 --> 00:04:23,020 Oh, yeah. 84 00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:25,020 Yeah, this end. 85 00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:30,020 After school, unlike most kids, these boys aren't inside watching TV. 86 00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:34,020 Fourteen-year-old Reuben and six-year-old Sydney are making last-minute repairs to the 87 00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:35,020 lambing barn. 88 00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:36,020 Can you hold it? 89 00:04:36,020 --> 00:04:37,020 Yeah. 90 00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:39,020 Can you get tough? 91 00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:43,020 This pen is where I keep twins and triplets. 92 00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:48,020 These ones were tucked first, so they'll be lambing first. 93 00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:50,020 So we keep them here. 94 00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:55,020 The first-time mothers carrying multiple lambs often need help during labour, 95 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:59,020 so Amanda's teaching nine-year-old Edith how to head off any problems. 96 00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:02,020 She's licking her first lamb off at the moment. 97 00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:04,020 You just need to watch for the second one. 98 00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:08,020 Usually she'll give it a right good lick and then hopefully you'd hope that the second 99 00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:10,020 one will come out nice and easy as well. 100 00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:11,020 Yeah. 101 00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:12,020 But you just have to be careful. 102 00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:13,020 Yeah. 103 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,020 Sometimes it can have the first one and some will do the second one. 104 00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:16,020 Oh, yeah. 105 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:17,020 So you just keep watching. 106 00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,020 You are the eyes and ears of the place. 107 00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:22,020 If it looks like she's not going to turn around and lick it, 108 00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:25,020 or it looks like it's struggling to breathe, you know what to do. 109 00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:26,020 Yeah. 110 00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:27,020 Okay. 111 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:31,020 I've seen at least 20 lambs being born. 112 00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:35,020 There could be problems with the lambs, like they come out the wrong way, 113 00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:38,020 or like they're premature or too small, 114 00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:42,020 so you can't be afraid to get your hands dirty. 115 00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:45,020 She should have had the second one by now. 116 00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:49,020 If the sheep doesn't deliver soon, both mother and baby could die, 117 00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:52,020 so Edith calls her mum to step in. 118 00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,020 Edith, do you want to get the lamb? 119 00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:55,020 No. 120 00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:57,020 Then we'll have to get hold of her. 121 00:05:58,020 --> 00:05:59,020 Sss. 122 00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:01,020 Sss. 123 00:06:01,020 --> 00:06:02,020 Stand there. 124 00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:05,020 I don't want her to stand there for a minute. 125 00:06:05,020 --> 00:06:07,020 Ah, you bugger. 126 00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:12,020 Right, you can chase the rest back down here and pop them back in. 127 00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:14,020 Do you want to lamb it? 128 00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:15,020 Okay. 129 00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:16,020 Good, lass. 130 00:06:16,020 --> 00:06:18,020 Break the legs down. 131 00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:19,020 That's it. 132 00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:24,020 Good, lass. 133 00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:26,020 The head just followed? 134 00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:27,020 It's right there. 135 00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,020 Downwards. 136 00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:31,020 That's it. 137 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:35,020 Good, lass. 138 00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:37,020 Give me a piece of straw. 139 00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:40,020 Get him sneezing. 140 00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:45,020 That's it. 141 00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:48,020 Good, lass. 142 00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:52,020 It is exciting to lamb the sheep. 143 00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:57,020 I can't really describe it. 144 00:06:57,020 --> 00:07:05,020 Nine-year-old Edith may enjoy helping out at lambing time, 145 00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:08,020 but dad Clive knows how precarious their way of life is, 146 00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:13,020 as the family's livelihood depends on their annual crop of lambs. 147 00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:14,020 Oh, bless you. 148 00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:15,020 Come on. 149 00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:18,020 I've always looked after sheep and they've always looked after me, 150 00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,020 and so they almost come first. 151 00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,020 It's mad, you know. 152 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:24,020 You've just got to manage, you know. 153 00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:29,020 I mean, yeah, you just can't quit on it because then you'd have nothing, 154 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:32,020 you know, so you just do it and it'll all come right, 155 00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:34,020 but you've just got to stick at it. 156 00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:42,020 There you are, mother. 157 00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:45,020 Marley, come here, Reuben. 158 00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:46,020 Come here. 159 00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:48,020 I want a big gang. 160 00:07:48,020 --> 00:07:50,020 With lambs arriving all over the farm, 161 00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:54,020 Clive's discovered a problem, so he's rallying his troops. 162 00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:57,020 Now, we've brought a yow that we can't find a lamb for, 163 00:07:57,020 --> 00:08:02,020 so I'm sending you lot to look for it, right? 164 00:08:02,020 --> 00:08:04,020 It's in Blackhow somewhere. 165 00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:06,020 She came out at Blackhow. 166 00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:10,020 She's got a mewly lamb, and it might be dead, it might be alive, 167 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:19,020 but dead or alive, I want it. 168 00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,020 Look after Arnie. 169 00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:24,020 As the eldest son, 14-year-old Reuben is well used to looking 170 00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:27,020 after his younger siblings and will lead the search. 171 00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:35,020 Go along to that barn and then come down that hill to underneath passes. 172 00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:37,020 Shall I just let people out in place? 173 00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:38,020 Exactly. 174 00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:39,020 Right. 175 00:08:39,020 --> 00:08:40,020 See you, Dad. 176 00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:46,020 Like the sheep that roam these hills, 177 00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:49,020 the kids know this terrain like the back of their hands. 178 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:52,020 So with instructions on the lambs' last known whereabouts, 179 00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:55,020 Reuben releases the search party. 180 00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:58,020 So walk straight through, stay off the back of the wall, 181 00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:01,020 take it slow, search all the rushes. 182 00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:03,020 Go on, then. 183 00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:05,020 Be careful and be thorough. 184 00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:12,020 A motherless lamb won't survive for long on the moors, 185 00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:15,020 as even in spring temperatures can dip to freezing, 186 00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:18,020 and Reuben knows the odds are stacked against them. 187 00:09:18,020 --> 00:09:22,020 Chances are it's got trapped in something or dropped down a hole 188 00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:24,020 or just got stuck somewhere. 189 00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:26,020 It's quite a rough, hilly field, 190 00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:28,020 and there's lots of places a lamb could get lost. 191 00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:30,020 It's easy enough, isn't it? 192 00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:32,020 You're in a rushy spot and you're dropping something, 193 00:09:32,020
