01/04/2024 Teenager and shepherd team up in a farming partnership that spans the generations.
The teenager who's started farming with a 79-year-old shepherd, raising rare breeds and Long Horn Cattle.
Most 16-year-olds who aren't from a farming family, don't spend their free time looking after sheep. However for several years Will Banham from Dorset has been working with farmer Harriet Sykes to look after her flock. The pair make a great team, tending the flock and now they're raising rare breed Long Horn cattle. Working together, each brings something different to the farm.
