Feeding the Hungry: Maesmawr Hall, Welshpool


Feeding frenzies at Maesmawr Hall, Welshpool. Piglets scramble to suckle from the sow and then sleep the sleep of the well-fed and wonderfully content; mature pigs almost climb the bars of their sties so eager are they to get near the bucket of oncoming food, and newly-hatched chicks arrive in boxes via a Lea-Francis 14hp Estate car and peck away at the meal provided in their new quarters. At an Oswestry stud, a young stallion, well-fed and frisky, is shown off.
