Day 8 Meet the Locals

John Yoemen is the Welsh President of Nuffield. He had organised the week for us here in Wales. As a final fling in Wales he organised a dinner for a number of farmers mainly Nuffields to meet us. The dinner was held at Gregynog. We had a tour of John's farm. John and his family run a sheep and beef cattle operation. His cattle were Limousin and were very good cow and calf units. The cattleman amongst us were very impressed. His sheep were of equal quality.


We wer billeted out to a number farmers. Marty and I were billeted with Nigel and Karen Elgar. We went with Nigel. He and Karen farm high in the uplands. The counrty was very picturesque at this time of the year, but we could seen what it would be like in winter
