A Ceredigion farmer has been placed under a suspended prison sentence for further offences of animal cruelty.
Alban David Rees, aged 56, had admitted two offences of causing unnecessary suffering to cows by failing to provide suitable care and attention.
Today Rees, of Parc-y-Big farm, Beulah, near Newcastle Emlyn, was given a three month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and placed under supervision for 12 months.
His wife Sara Linda Rees, aged 50, admitted the same offences and she was ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work for the community.
Swansea crown court heard today how the offences were discovered only a month after Alban Rees had been conditionally discharged by Cardigan magistrates for similar offences.
