They farm 146 hectares and run a mixed enterprise, lambing 900 ewes as well as 32,000 broilers. They also finish 150 Belgian Blue cross heifers annually. Lower House Farm have trialed incorporating bought in peas and beans in the pregnant ewe ration last winter to increase farm resilience and reduce the farm's carbon footprint, Robert wants to grow as much of the feed on farm as possible. They've embarked on a Farming Connect ‘Our Farms' project to evaluate how peas and beans might help them to achieve that goal. Listen in to hear the findings!

The Dolphin Diet Detectives project - a new initiative of the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales - receives funding to find out what species the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay are consuming. It involves the collection of dolphin faecal samples - not an easy task - but researchers hope the study will increase our understanding of dolphin and marine conservation in the futureAnd on International Dawn Chorus day, we hear about a new study of nest box-breeding birds by Aberystwyth University, to understand the impact of climate change on competition between birds.

Can a man ever beat a horse in a foot race? Every year since 1980, a small town in Wales has been trying to find out.

This is a TBI Media production for the BBC World Service.

A new Ordovician lagerstätte (site of special fossil preservation) has just been described from Llandrindod Wells, Wales. The site contains the remains of well over 150 different species, most of which are entirely new to science. It is dated to around 461 million years old, placing it at a critical point in life's evolution: the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. This is even more significant, considering the relative sparsity of lagerstätten of this time. We are joined in this interview by Drs Joe Botting and Lucy Muir, who discovered the Castle Bank site a short walk from their house whilst fossil collecting during covid lockdown in 2020. From them, we're able to learn what it's like to discover a new site of international significance and we question why the fossil from this site are so small.
In March of 2011 a new study released information that a decade of clinical animal mutilations in Wales is being investigated by pathologists. The organisation, called the Animal Pathology Field Unit (APFU), was set up in 2001 to investigate a number of cases after sheep and cattle were discovered dead with strange, surgical-style injuries. The APFU concentrates most of its resources in the Rea valley near the border and in towns including Knighton and Llandrindod Wells, where mutilations are said to be rife. The group explained their finding and said the injuries to the animals are too “sophisticated” to have been caused by predators. Some of the animals have been killed in locations which are difficult to reach without being detected. And Phil Hoyle, of the APFU, there is a curious lack of blood or footprints at the scene despite the surgical removal of large amounts of tissue.He said: “We are looking at the UFO connection and people are describing unconventional things entering and leaving the sea. We have some farmers that have seen unusual lights and found animals killed in an extremely surgical way.“These injuries are not done by satanic cults. These are very sophisticated whether done by aliens, military or some clandestine monitoring, something unusual is going on. We don't know what has the ability to do this: literally to walk into an isolated area, surgically remove tissue, walk out and not leave a footprint or anything behind” He said activity in the past years had increased significantly, and claimed the military had moved in to monitor the situation.

The Welsh government has announced that pop-up campsites can operate for 56 days before applying for planning permission, but Andrew Campbell from Wales Tourism Alliance tells Anna Hill that these businesses should be registered to help keep track of how many people rural services will have to provide for, in the holidays.
