A Hardy Breed: Sheep Farming in Wales
by Bruce Cardwell
and
Shaping the Wild: Wisdom from a Welsh Hill Farm
by David Elias
Seren, £15.00
What these two books have in common is the generous co-operation of farmers. Bruce Cardwell’s A Hardy Breed is a photographic record and celebration of Welsh sheep farmers, while David Elias’s more ecologically focused study relies on a seven-year collaboration with an upland farm.
