The Goat Whisperers of Brecon

Send us Fan MailThe Brecon Beacons are the looming highlands of South Wales. Remote, dotted with hill farms, whose owners which have eked out a living from their goats and sheep for centuries.There ‘s an entrepreneurial  spirit in these hill farmers. A thriving industry has sprung up. Visitors can take part in the life cycle of the goats and sheep from birth to the sheering. Other farms have expanded into goat-based activities.This a land where communication between remote homesteads once took place with farmers shouting across the rocky terrain perhaps to locate a missing animal. It gave rise to one the most famous of Welsh folk songs, about a wayward goat. In the spirit of such songs the verses are repeated, each with a different colour goat.Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter! Email [email protected] to sign up!Follow Tudor on Twitter @TudortweetFollow Tudor's blogs:everydaycreativity.ukleaderswedeserve.wordpress.com
