A Pembrokeshire estate is putting its herd of pedigree Hereford cattle up for auction.
Nearly 150 animals from the herd at Hean Castle Estate, Saundersfoot are listed in a forthcoming dispersal sale, which follows a change in the estate’s farming business.
The Hean Herd has been an iconic sight on the land since it was introduced in 2012 replacing the farm's award-winning dairy enterprise.'
The estate's Home Farm is also being offered for letting, either as a whole or in lots.
This was revealed by Hean Castle Estate this week in a post on its Facebook page, which followers described as "sad news".
The company said: "We announce with great sadness that, following a strategic review of the Estate’s farming business, the decision has been taken to cease the in-hand business resulting in the dispersal of the ‘Hean’ Herd."
The dispersal sale if the herd will take place on the farm on Saturday, August 24.
