Supplying farm animals to TV and film crews, including the huge hit series Game of Thrones, has saved Kenny Gracey's bacon.<br />
<br />
The 57-year-old farmer started supplying pigs, cows, donkeys, goats and even a trained deer to Hollywood seven years ago, when the recession was hitting his business hard.<br />
<br />
Mr Gracey said the film work his animals get has helped him pay the bills and keep his business going.<br />

Forthill Farm in Tandragee, Northern Ireland, specialises in traditional breeds like Longhorn cattle and Gloucestershire old spot pigs, ideal for shows and films set in medieval times.
