Rare Breed draws to a close in final episode this Thursday

The final episode of this season’s Rare Breed – A Farming Year will air on Thursday, April 9 on UTV. It’s December and we’ll get a final look in on five

of our farming families, as they keep as busy as ever during the winter, making preparations for the New Year and the continuation of the farming cycle.

The programme features the Chestnutt’s farm outside Bushmills.

Victor and David have a new arrival in the form of a bull bought in Roscommon. Victor worked a visit to the mart in with a two night stay at the Killyhevlin Hotel in Enniskillen, commenting, “I can only do 24 hours away from farming!” He talks about the price paid for the bull but feels it was well worth it. David meanwhile is renovating the calf house, with the help of ‘interior designer’.

Victor, who pointing at his head laughs, “The design’s all in here!” They are both glad to be working inside on such a wet December day.

UTV’s Mark McFadden narrates the series, sponsored by Moy Park. Rare Breed – A Farming Year concludes on Thursday, April 9 at 8.30pm on UTV.
