As a blizzard blasts the farm, the Owen family must protect their 1,000-strong flock of sheep, and mend the farm machinery to keep the animals fed.

Spring brings some welcome new arrivals, as lambing season begins on the wild moors of the family's exposed hill farm. 14-year-old Rueben leads his siblings on a rescue mission.

For Clive and Amanda, the race is on to make the farm's hay crop in the searing heat, while also entertaining their giant brood during the summer holidays.

All hands are on deck to ready the sheep for the auction ring, while the children are busy baking entries for the most exciting event of the year, the village farm show.

It is the Easter holidays and while the children are out of school their lessons on the farm are just beginning. The family learn the highs and lows of lambing, build a dog kennel and save a lamb with a broken leg.

Seven of the nine children are back at school after the Easter holidays, leaving Amanda and Clive to send all their spring lambs to the moors with their two toddlers in tow. Reuben fixes up a dirt bike for little brother Sid.
