Dan Jones, 40, beat thousands of shepherds and farmers keen to take on Parc Farm, owned by the National Trust on the striking Great Orme headland near Llandudno in north Wales. Jones told the court that he was a fourth generation farmer from Anglesey. I was always involved with sheep and sheep farming,” he said. Jones said running Parc Farm on the top of Great Orme, which protrudes into the Irish Sea, was very different to running a lowland farm in Anglesey. Trading standards officers visited the farm after a complaint from a member of the public about dead sheep.
