When Ben Aveling's mother-in-law was seriously injured during tupping time, his family was told an ambulance could be two hours away.

In the latest episode of the Farmers Guardian podcast, Olivia Skeoch visits Radmore Farm, Northamptonshire, to hear what happened during those frightening first moments and why the family decided to move her despite being advised not to.

Produced in partnership with RABI's FarmersAid, the episode explores how the accident changed the family's approach to working around livestock and preparing for an emergency.

Ben and Olivia also discuss what RABI calls the ‘platinum ten minutes', when access to the right guidance following a serious accident could make a crucial difference.
