In this new series, Alistair and Genna Bird share the ups and downs of farming life across the four seasons. The hardworking couple run a 560 hectare sheep and beef property near Oxford in North Canterbury.
In part one, Alistair heads to the Timberlea Angus bull sale in search of a fine yearling bull and chats to Cosmo Kentish-Barnes about what's been happening on the farm in September.
