Cattle grazing near Crab Mill Farm

Beef type steers grazing the excellent grass that has grown following the return to wet and warm weather.

Fishing ponds at Trench

These ponds have been made by flooding what was a cutting on the closed Ellesmere to Bangor-is-y-coed railway.

Buildings at Trench Farm

A mix of buildings many of which are not used or used for non agricultural activities. Crop of maize on right waiting the first frost to dry the leaves before harvest.

Silage stubble at Trench Farm

Last cut of silage this year and stubble should provide a bit more grazing later in the year. The two areas in this field with scrubby trees are what I believe to be "dew ponds" which were shallow depressions in the clay which provided waterings for cattle and also water supply. This area has many of these, some farms have one in every field.

Cows and buildings at Red Hall Farm

The cooler wetter weather has brought what looks like a "spring flush" to the grazings all over this area. Here the black and whites enjoy a pleasant evening.
