It’s not just grass and water and hay that cattle require – they need trees on which to scratch away the odd itch, as can be seen in this footage shot by Ion Trant who farmed at Welshpool (Maesmawr Hall and Cefn Du farms) and at Llandrindod (Esgairdraenllwyn farm, Llaithddu). His sheep are expertly rounded up for their injections by his eldest daughter, Clare, mounted on her pony Silver and assisted by Patsy the sheepdog. Later, when the snow comes, the sheep are fed nuts.
