COUNTRYFILE viewers got a shock when they tuned into tonight's episode. The BBC show explored some of the UK's farms, and its last segment really took its fans by surprise.
Presenter Matt Baker took viewers to Yew Tree farm, which is the last traditional farm in the Bristol area. Run by Catherine Withers, the farm is one that's passionate about its food to fork production.
Matt explained in a voiceover: "Until last year, she used an off-site breeder for her pigs, but breeding on-farm gives her more control over the final product".
Viewers were introduced to three year old Emperor, Catherine's new boar on the farm, who weighed in at 300kg. Host Matt asked Catherine: "Does he know his job?", to which she responded: "He does, he's an experienced boar. "It's why I waited for the others to grow enough to be served by him, so the size difference isn't too big." @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff').
