This week in Ireland RTÉ One has launched a special week-long event, Big Week on the Farm, broadcasting live from the Midlands and taking viewers to the heart of farming as nature springs to life.

Broadcast live from a purpose-built studio on a sheep farm in Co. Westmeath, as well coming live from satellite farms around the country, the show brings viewers right to the heart of the farm in one of its busiest weeks.

From milking competitions to the secret life of goats, world record sheep shearing attempts to remote controlled tractors, Big Week on the Farm goes in-depth into what makes a modern farm tick in a fun, interactive way designed to appeal to all viewers, both rural and urban.

In this evening’s broadcast, at 7pm, the Weatherbys Laboratory and Dr Rebecca Weld feature in a section on the DNA testing of cattle and the world’s biggest cattle genotyping project being undertaken by Weatherbys and Eurofins.
