"We've brought all the new sheep on and for them to choose that bloodline right at the start, for them to have that connection when they get older, they'll be like, 'We started this,' which is so cool for a 12 and a 14-year-old."
Matt said his children have been getting involved in farm life
Matt also revealed that his children are having the same experiences as he had growing up on a farm and are learning the same life lessons.
He explained: "There's a little sub-heading on my book which is: 'How the Countryside Made Me,' and that is so important to me because what I've done is I've gone round the farm and I've been talking about various things that have been happening throughout the year and I've been linking those to anecdotes from my career and how all that responsibility and dedication growing up, that working ethic, how that's kind of implemented itself in everything that I've gone on to do.
