Last night, on the second episode of RTE’s Big Week on the Farm, viewers saw country singer Nathan Carter deliver twin lambs.
This week, over 120 lambs will be born on the farm of John Fagan, who farms cattle and sheep in Westmeath.
The singer said that he’d never been involved in lambing before but Carter became a midwife on last night’s show as the video below shows.
There was a good reaction to the show on Twitter last night, with plenty of people tweeting their support for the show.
#OnTheFarm is the #TopGear of the farming world.
