The Kelso Ram Sales in the Scottish Borders is one of the largest and oldest ram sales in Europe, with more than 3,500 animals expected to be sold on the day. Charlotte Smith joins local farmer Anne Mair-Chapman as she prepares her prized animals for the big event, and meets farmers hoping to buy the all-important ram that will help their flocks flourish over the next year. She also goes behind the scenes to see how this massive market is organised, including moving thousands of sheep around the sale in their very own taxis. Adam Henson is in Cumbria helping shepherdess Katy move her flock down from the fells, and the programme hears from an inspiring young person who will be joining the team for this year's ramble for BBC Children in Need
