Rare Breed: Fermanagh families feature in latest episode of UTV series

Fermanagh farming families are set to feature in the latest episode of the UTV series Rare Breed which airs on Thursday night.

This month's episode of the series is to air on Thursday, March 23, at 8.30pm, following its return to screens here earlier this year.

Five families are to document life on their farms, including Roslea man John Egerton and the Byers family from Ballinamallard.

A programme description for the show says it is to be a busy one for the Byers family, who are getting ready for calving season.

“Near Ballinamallard in Fermanagh, the countdown to calving has started at the Byers dairy Farm,” it says.

“Vicki is busy getting the shed ready for weaning the calves when they arrive.

“She also talks about how she uses social media to show what they are up on the farm and to have a bit of a laugh as well.”

The hugely popular Fermanagh County Show, which took place in August, will also feature in Thursday night’s episode.

“Back in Northern Ireland John Egerton from Rosslea is showing his commercial suckler heifers at Fermanagh County Show,” it adds.

“John’s won awards for his grass and land management but he’s never competed with cows before so he’s feeling nervous. He tries to get them looking their best.”
