Last weekend the Ulster Folk Museum at Cultra, Holywood, held their annual Country Skills Day.

In this video, shot by Farming Life’s Darryl Armitage, we get to watch tractor ploughing at the Coshkib Hill Farm.

We also get a chat with the museum’s farm manager Robert Berry.

Other skills on show at the museum that day included harness cleaning and horseshoe throwing at Cruckaclady Farmhouse.

And there was traditional stick making and harness cleaning in the Orange Hall.
