Showtime for thousands of animals competing at the Great Yorkshire Show. On the day the Prince of Wales visits the show, dozens of prestigious prizes will be awarded. Charlotte Smith catches up with the farmers she has been following over the last few weeks as they prepare their stock. Whether they win or lose can greatly affect the value of their animals and the future of their business.
Hayley Loveless is a champion pig breeder and Farming Today joins her ringside at the Pig of the Year competition. But with the rising cost of farm production she doesn't think she'll still be in the breeding business this time next year. And we hear from the Buckle family as they celebrate in the sheep pens.
