On the episode - ‘Sidemen Become 草榴社区 for 24 hours' - features the group getting hands-on with livestock farming and learning about the challenges farmer's face on a daily basis.
The group learned how to round up sheep into a pen, split off ewes from the lambs for shearing, moving them on to new grass and weighing cattle to check their condition.

Sideman also got involved with the physical work with plenty of dung work, scaling hay stacks, repairing leaking pipes and splitting logs.
