Two Powys councillors have been suspended following 2015 prosecutions relating to cattle identification.
The two Conservative councillors from Powys, Mid Wales, were suspended from the council as the result of code of conduct breaches - for bringing the council into disrepute over the prosecutions.
Cllr Gwynfor Thomas began a four-week suspension on Wednesday (19 April), a week after fellow councillor Aled Davies began a two-week suspension.
A third councillor, Gary Price, has appealed a five-month suspension and it was recommended it be reduced to three.
This amendment would need to be approved by the council's standards committee after May's local elections.
It follows prosecutions by Powys' trading standards under different sections of the Cattle Identification (Wales) Regulations 2007 and Animal By-Products (Enforcement) (Wales) Regulations, over charges relating to the tagging of cattle on farms, and found guilty.
