Vernon hears from the men who saved the Gloucester breed from the brink of extinction

Vernon hears from the men who saved the Gloucester breed from the brink of extinction.

We celebrate one of the county’s rare breads of farm livestock - Gloucester cattle.

As the breed society marks its 40th Birthday we hear from the men who saved the Gloucester from the brink of extinction in the 1970s.

Vernon hears about Gloucestershire’s newest festival which is all about The Rivers Severn and Wye and is getting a helping hand from The Wurzels.

We join one of Britain’s leading wildlife conservationists in a meadow near Stroud to find out what we can do to help cowslips Orchids and Bluebells. Plus countryside ‘what’s ons’ for the week ahead.
