Sarah Swadling meets Florence Mannerings in Kent - NHS midwife on a workday, pedigree Shorthorn cattle breeder in her time off. Florence tells Sarah that she lives to farm and explains why she loves historic, original population, Shorthorns. She says coming home to the cows helped her cope with the pressures of working in healthcare during the pandemic. Cattle breeding is in the genes, as Florence's mother and grandmother helped save the extremely rare Albion breed. Florence explains that the family decided to make rare and native breeds their main focus as they rebuild their business in Kent, after their dairy farm tenancy in Hampshire ended four years ago.

Produced and presented by Sarah Swadling.
