A 1976 BBC production featuring my Grandfather John Owen (Jac y Bugail) and Erwyd Howells. It was uploaded from a very well watched video tape so please don't expect HD quality. Enjoy :)
That was a brilliant program. It had me glued. I enjoyed the characters, the farming and the language. I spoke to a shepherd last time I was up there. He was training a dog. Thanks for sharing.
You allways see sheep but rarely a Shepard there a lot more to raising sheep than just putting them in a field to graze I never realized it's such a harsh job respect to the Shepard and farmers it's not easy as you think
thanks for the lovely comments. I'm glad that you've enjoyed the film and I feel very lucky to have this record of my Grandfather which I can pass down to future generations ☺
Great viewing, my late brother was one of the catchers in the shearing shed, I usually went up there in shearing time but didn't go that yr, I went to Australia for 25 yrs & came back to Aberystwyth in 2005 when my brother died, been trying for yrs to get this footage, & it was only by researching Erwyd Howells that I stumbled upon it. Great memories 👌
@@mariem1701 I have saved it on my RU-vid account, thank you so much for the film. My brother & I used to work weekends & holidays for Christopher Evans peeling stakes etc, we were about 13 & 14 when we first started, good money for us in those days, then at Xmas we would go turkey plucking for Mr Raw Rees at Llandre, happy days, not a care in the world 👍👍
Ffilm gwych iawn. Roeddem ni yn ffermio ym Mhontarfynach ar ben Cwm Rheidol - ac mi roedd fy nhadcu yn siwr yn adnabod Jac y Bugail ac yn sicr Erwyd Howells. Diolch yn fawr.
Thanks for showing. A very interesting film. Hilarious watching the man cut the tag out of the ear, imagine what that would do to the record book today.
