Next week a group of madcap farmers will be hauling an entire “fibreglass farm” up Snowdon – and you can join them.

The Cows On Tour (COT) group reckons it has “every sector is covered” – a life-size cow, bull, pig, sheep, chicken, leek and even a potato will all be carried up Wales' highest mountain.

“We want to show that, as an industry, we pull together – even in the face of adversity,” it said.

Earlier this month the group pulled off another stunt when sending a fibreglass cow hurtling down a hillside at Zip World , Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda .

This time they will be raising money for two farm charities, RABI and DPJ Foundation.

The Snowdon climb, on Saturday, May 4, starts at 7.30am and will follow the Llanberis route up the mountain.

Anyone who wants to join the challenge is asked to donate £25 via COT’s Just Giving page .

Ultimately the group's young farmers hope their wacky stunts will raise the profile of its core objective, a tour of Welsh schools between May 13-19.

The idea is to teach youngsters about farming's contribution to food production and environmental management.

‘We have been amazed by the response we have received from the farming community," said COT chairman Matthew Shervington-Jones.

"It is so rewarding to know that, as a community, we have each other’s backs."
