Woman using a stick to guide a large pig, another woman is sweeping path outside low brick building.
C/U of woman carrying young shoat out from behind a walled yard, another woman follows with a pig. Swine of all sizes approaching camera - big sows with cute piglets running after them. Land Girls follow pushing along a stubborn sow with a stick.
C/U apparatus for learning to milk a cow: a frame with a fake cow's udder hanging from it in front of brick farm building. Land girl sets down bucket and stool and starts 'milking', other girls watch, some reach in to pull one of the fake teats themselves. One girl gets squirted with a stream of milk, they jump back and laugh - lovely spontaneous moment.
