    A Year In The Wild:
    Snowdonia is Wales' most dramatic wild place and one of the most beautiful and best loved in the whole of Britain. It's a land of extinct volcanoes surrounded by the Irish Sea, a spellbinding landscape whose peaks are some of the most ancient on the planet and whose valleys are a refuge for rare and fascinating wildlife including otters, hen harriers and peregrine falcons. This film follows a farmer, a National Park warden, a climber and a poet throughout the year and, through their intimate knowledge of Snowdonia, explores the nature of wilderness in modern Britain.

      @Gorb Locke: It's the Welsh accent. This farmer is very likely a native Welsh speaker - we sound like this when we speak in English. People in this area, will use Welsh on a daily basis. His idioms and way of speaking is very reflective of the Welsh language. As the narrative says, he uses Welsh for one dog and English for the other.

      Trust me, it is hard work and is not a job that will make you rich! I grew up on a hill farm in North Wales and my brother continues to farm. In February/March, sleeping in the barn (or house if is close by) and waking up every two hours or so to check on the ewes lambing (those closest to giving birth are typically brought into the barn/shed) so that any that are having difficulties giving birth can be helped is an annual event. Then there is dipping (a compulsory bath in a liquid formulation of insecticide and fungicide), shearing and regular checks for maggots, hoof clipping/trimming etc. But, you do get to enjoy the seasons and have a much better understanding of nature as you become part of it. Always battling with the weather, having to read the signs so that they sheep can be either gathered for protection (e.g. heavy snowfall) or simply to plan your work schedule. Handling a wet sheep is not a pleasant experience, but it has to be done. Oh - and as for long summer holidays - forget it.

      @ten tail madara: Sheep farming in North Wales is neither a fantasy land or a dreamy world. It is very much hard work and far too many people do not understand the difficulties involved in making a living. That said, my comment was not intended to criticise or to belittle brap p's comment. Perhaps he or she already knows the hardships and still considers it to be the best job in the world as my brother (who is a sheep farmer/shepherd) does.

    • @andrewjones-productions
      @andrewjones-productions 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @JustPeople: Yes they do. However they serve no function and cannot move like a horse or cow's tail. Most lamb's tails are shortened as this helps to prevent faeces gathering on their tails which attracts maggots in the summer months and could kill the animal if not caught in time. A rubber ring is applied to the tails when the lamb is young which cuts off the blood supply and part of the tail falls off. This is humane and does not hurt the animal. It is similar to the treatment a human would get for severe haemorrhoids.
