Synopsis

The cows have broken the fence!
The sheep are acting funny.
There's a boat that has to be put into a tree!
And someone really must stop the birds from eating all the apples!

There's no end of work for Farmer Pat, his son Albie and their dog Normie. But that's not a problem because Farmer Pat always knows exactly what to do! Kind of.

A rollicking father-son adventure that captures a laugh-out-loud day on the farm, while featuring a cheeky cast of animals.
