More Devon farmers will be starring in tonight's episode of More 4’s ‘Devon and Cornwall’ series.
The series celebrates the lives and histories of people living and working in the rural landscapes of the two counties.
Tonight's episode will feature Jess and Russell Steer who farm within the Dartmoor National Park at Ashburton, and Cyril Cole, who farms in South Molton.
Jess and Russell look after over 150 ewes of a variety of breeds at 45 acre Rushlade Farm. They also run ‘The Rushlade Wool Company’, selling raw wool and yarn.
The programme follows a 'day in the life of' their experience on their farm. It features them shearing their Whiteface Dartmoor Mule lambs and preparing the fleece for sale, and follows them to the the historic Widecombe fair.

Cyril Cole from Lower Ash Moor Farm in South Molton is followed during the hay making process. Cyril's passion is wildflower meadows, and he sells his wildflower rich hay.
Cyril also rehabilitates wildlife and the programme follows a barn owl that he is helping.
'Devon and Cornwall' will be on TV tonight (15 April) at 9pm on More 4.
