Amanda Owen and sons Sid and Miles face a difficult rescue operation after a pregnant sheep becomes stranded on a hillside in the Yorkshire Dales.
The incident will feature in the fourth series of the programme, which follows the family's lives at Ravenseat and their ongoing restoration of Anty John's farmhouse.
And it highlights the unpredictable challenges faced by the Owens while caring for livestock in remote Upper Swaledale.
Amanda Owen and sons attempt sheep rescue
The episode, due to air on More4 on Monday, October 19, will see Amanda, Sid and Miles heading out to rescue a pregnant sheep stuck at the bottom of a hill.
The situation presents another demanding job for the family, who are accustomed to working with livestock in difficult terrain and changing weather conditions.
Sheep farming has been central to life at Ravenseat for decades, with the Owen children growing up helping their parents care for animals across the surrounding moorland.
But even for a family with considerable experience of working in the Yorkshire Dales, animals getting into difficulties can require a significant effort.
The programme's advance details confirm that Amanda and her sons undertake the rescue, although the full circumstances and outcome have yet to be shown.
The incident is another example of the practical responsibilities being taken on by the younger generation of the Owen family.
Sid and Miles take on growing responsibilities
Sid is also preparing to take his tractor test during the current series, hoping to become qualified to carry out more jobs around Ravenseat.
Miles, meanwhile, has been helping Amanda with work at Anty John's, including painting the walls of the farmhouse after the plaster finally dried.
Their involvement in the sheep rescue demonstrates another side to their lives beyond the restoration project.
While Our Farm Next Door has focused heavily on transforming the centuries-old property, the Owens continue to face the daily demands of running a working farm.
And looking after livestock remains one of the family's most important responsibilities.
More challenges at Anty John's
The October 19 episode will also follow further developments at Anty John's, where the family is continuing its ambitious renovation.
The farmhouse has been undergoing restoration for three years, with Amanda and Clive working alongside their children and local tradespeople.

The latest instalment will feature an unusual decorating project involving gallons of tea.
Elsewhere, eldest daughter Raven returns to Ravenseat and is shown mucking out the stables, while Edith continues preparing for the seasonal reopening of the family's cream tea van.
Edith is also balancing her responsibilities with revision for her exams.
The different activities highlight how the nine Owen children are increasingly following their own interests while remaining connected to life at Ravenseat.
Amanda recently revealed that the family still has not decided who will eventually live at Anty John's, despite the restoration progressing far enough for belongings to be moved inside.
