The Milton family farm cattle, sheep, Exmoor ponies, and arable crops on the patchwork of land which makes up Exmoor National Park. In today's programme, Sarah Swadling accompanies Robin Milton as he feeds his very vocal herd of pedigree Aberdeen Angus beef cattle. The animals are not only a commercial proposition, they help to manage the farm's rare Culm Grassland. Ninety per cent of the habitat, in the UK, was lost to drainage and land improvement in the 20th century.
Produced and Presented by Sarah Swadling.
