Single Suckled Calves

The fine looking Hereford cattle in this film are bred in Breconshire and Radnorshire under the ‘premium bull scheme’.

Mr Roy Jones’ farm ‘Gwarllan’, in Sennybridge and ‘Gwarallt’, the farm of Mrs Price and sons in Builth Wells, both feature in this MAFF/NAAS film which gives a brief introduction to a cattle breeding system introduced in the two counties which are now part of Powys. The aim is to breed for quality and uniformity and research has established that winter-born calves are more profitable than those born in the spring. Auctions are seen in progress at Llandrindod and/or Brecon.
