Dorset Wildlife Trust: Powerstock Common & Kingcombe Meadows with stockman Ashlea Kirk

Dorset Wildlife Trust's nature reserve Powerstock Common and Kingcombe Meadows Farm seen close-up with new stockman Ashlea Kirk.
Cattle-hunting, fence-testing, quad-bike riding, sheep-finding, bedding and feeding all feature.
Ashlea, who's 24 and grew up in Winterborne Whitechurch between Dorchester and Blandford, explains his own philosophy of farming and how Dorset Wildlife Trust looks after Powerstock Common and Kingcombe Meadows Farm, two of its most important properties.
This piece was shot and edited for Transition Vision TV's Farming Channel by Jonathan Hudston of Watershed PR. His is the other voice you can hear apart from Ashlea's.
And you might get the occasional glimpse of a muddy boot.
Otherwise nothing, because Ashlea is the star.
