The latest episode of Springtime on the Farm returned, following an earlier mistake this week in which Channel 5 showed an episode from last year.
In episode four of the new series, Helen Skelton and the team were working around the clock at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley, this time it was lamb birthing time, with one of the farmers calling it a "tsunami of lambs". Helen was ready and waiting to help but also had some concerns around the sometimes sad experience of lambing.
Helen was worried about the birthing of some new lambs when they become stuck in the mother. Due to the nature of lambing, oftentimes the babies can become breached or come out the wrong way, but luckily the farmers were on hand to make sure they arrived safely.

Following a tense moment in which one of the lambs wasn't breathing, after a rather startling move from one of them, which saw a farmer give mouth to mouth to the lamb, it let out its first bleet.
As well as the babies, the farm received some other new arrivals, namely some adorable miniature donkeys. Several donkeys were brought to Cannon Hall though there were concerns they may not mix with the miniature horses already at the site.
Luckily they fit right in, much to the delight of Springtime on The Farm viewers. People took to social media to express how cute the animals were, with several not knowing there was such a thing as a miniature donkey.
