Mike McCombe
Out of Time
I have spent the last thirteen years breeding beef cattle in the Welsh hills. Most of my fellow hill farmers are, like me, over sixty, so I asked the friends I had made and the farmers I met where the next generation would come from, as we are all growing old. Every time, the answer was "There won't be a next generation". Almost unnoticed, the traditional hill farming that has sustained Wales for centuries is being eliminated. This work records the way of life of an old friend who raises cattle on a remote farm, hidden near the centre of the Brecon Beacons National Park; a way of life that is fast vanishing forever.
