It’s winter in Snowdonia. As storms batter the mountains of Eryri, five farming families battle the elements to rear their animals as they prepare for a year like no other. On the slopes of Cadair Idris, husband and wife Ken and Lisa Markham are gathering their flock of Welsh mountain sheep into the pens, but with the wind and rain beating down, herding their animals is challenging work for them and their team of trusty sheepdogs. Near the village of Ysbyty Ifan, 24-year-old Beca Roberts works alongside her father Glyn and her mother Eleri. She’s the fourth of five children but the only one working on the family farm. They’re preparing the shed for lambing and cleaning out the sty for Beca’s pet pig.
