0:00:02 > 0:00:03Across the country,
0:00:03 > 0:00:07thousands of farming families work tirelessly around the clock.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Whoa!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Stop arguing, girls. Give over.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14SHRILL WHISTLE
0:00:14 > 0:00:16But there's one day each year...
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Hey!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20..when they get to leave the daily routine behind.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Right, here we come, Dorset.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24These are show days...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- OVER TANNOY:- A very, very warm welcome to Melplash Show.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29..when they come together as a community...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31APPLAUSE
0:00:31 > 0:00:33..to showcase the fruits of their labour...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I just LOVE showing my girls off.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40..and try to win prizes for their breed champions...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Smashed it. - SHEEP BLEATS
0:00:42 > 0:00:43..and award-winning produce...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45That's really nice cheese, that.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46LAMB BLEATS
0:00:47 > 0:00:49It was very good, darling.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51There will be highs...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53That's what we want to see, red. Red is the best.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55..and lows...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57She's not happy enough to go.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58..for the dedicated farmers
0:00:58 > 0:01:03who give everything to walk away a champion.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Fingers crossed!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Each year in Britain, over a million pigs are sent to market.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Today, we're meeting two farming families
0:01:21 > 0:01:25who make a living from supplying this huge demand.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Come on, Ginge! - HE WHISTLES
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Farmers Barbara Warden,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and Clive and Hilary Royal, with daughter Rebecca,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36are eagerly preparing for the country's biggest
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Tamworth pig competition.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's a chance to enjoy a day out from the farm,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49but scooping prizes will also help their business to flourish.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53However, success will depend on the unpredictable nature
0:01:53 > 0:01:56of these high-spirited livestock.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57No!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09These hilly slopes of South Wales' Brecon Beacons
0:02:09 > 0:02:11are home to farmer Barbara...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14That'll do for them.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17..the proud owner of 51 Tamworth pigs.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Up the field. - PIG GRUNTS
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm the main worker on the farm here.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30My husband helps.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31He does the feeding at night.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35We have a trade-off there - I cook the dinner and he feeds.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Their son, Ceri,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41also lends a much-needed helping hand on the farm.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Nice weather today, ain't it?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45But it's no chore for him.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'You're looking after the animals.'
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Go on.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51'You're feeding them, you're bringing them up.'
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yeah, you're giving them a good life. Um...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58So I am passionate about it, and you've got to do it the best way.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59You all right, gorgeous?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Aw!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04However, it's not all about loving the animals.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Farming life is demanding.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The farm's always just about paid for itself.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13But there've been a lot of structures
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and things we've had to do.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17We've had to build new barns...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We've had an awful lot of fencing...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Miles and miles.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25We've put 14 new gates in since we've been here,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and it all costs money.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I've got some food for the pigs.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35But farming is the only life that Barbara's ever wanted...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Let's go around...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40..and caring for her Tamworth pigs comes as second nature.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42PIGS SNORT AND GRUNT
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We went for Tamworths because they're the best breed, really,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49to cope with the conditions we get in the winter up here,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52cos it can be very windy and very cold.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Tamworths are one of our oldest breed of pig.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58They prefer to be out, really,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01but they haven't got a woolly coat like a sheep has,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03and they're much better off indoors.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09A nice, big straw barn with plenty of freedom, plenty of space.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Come on, piggies.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Housing the pigs like this is a huge amount of work.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20At 9am each day, Barbara has to muck out their living quarters,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and this is more complicated than it sounds.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Come here. Come on, pigs.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27'We never let out two litters at the same time
0:04:27 > 0:04:29'because we aren't able to tell
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'which piglet belongs in which litter.'
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And when they go back in, if they've got the wrong piglet in the litter,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43comes back, then they start fighting.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49With the piglets safely separated, the daily muck-out begins.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53So, awful smelly.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I think that's the nature of the game.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Now for the fresh bedding.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Right, I'll go and get the clean straw.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08And this gives Barbara a thorough workout.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Oh! I'm going to have to break open a bale.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14We're so mean, we can't even afford knives round here.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17To cut open a bale when you haven't got a knife...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19You put your knee against it...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It doesn't usually take that long.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30And that's it, string off.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I've got the straw.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But this workload never stops.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41We muck out every day of the year, including Christmas Day.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Christmas Day is very difficult,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45because we have to be in church for ten o'clock.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's tough in the winter when it's very, very cold,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49when all the water freezes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Very often the only tap working is the one in the bathroom,
0:05:53 > 0:05:54so we have to have a hosepipe,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58and filling buckets for anything up to 80 pigs back in the past
0:05:58 > 0:06:00was a terrific effort.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Come on, out you go. Shhh! Shhh! Go on. Shhh!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07'If you enjoy what you're doing it's never hard, is it?'
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I really have a passion for doing what we're doing,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13and breeding young animals - this is what it's all about.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15And then, eating them at the end!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Most of the family's income comes from selling the pigs for pork.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The piglets are weaned from their mothers at eight weeks,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29and 12 weeks later, they're the perfect size for the butcher's.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33PIGLET SNORTS
0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK, that's finished, then. Jolly good.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41No real great hardship for them to be weaned
0:06:41 > 0:06:42and taken away from their mums,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and by the time they're eight weeks old,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46their mothers are only too glad to see the back of them.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Stay there...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52As well as selling her pigs on for meat,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54she also sells them for breeding,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and that's where the shows come in...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00because prizes can mean more profit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Don't tell my husband this,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06but we do do a lot more shows than I think he really counts up.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09He wants me to cut down.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11But I don't! I'm not going to cut down.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Why should I? I'm not going to retire.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Over in Somerset,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27retired doctors Hilary and Clive
0:07:27 > 0:07:30live on a six-acre smallholding with daughter, Rebecca.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Come on, girlies!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Keen to make use of the land and their time,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42they took up breeding Oxford Sandy and Black pigs.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52They are one of the oldest British breeds,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and have been brought back from the brink of extinction.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Oh! Stop biting!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Beggar, aren't you?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01There you go.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Farms like these are helping to ensure their survival.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10They're actually attractive animals to look at,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and we spoke to the breeders, and they have a good temperament.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19But not all pigs are everyone's cup of tea.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23There are pigs that I'm frankly quite nervous about.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Come on, girlie.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28'I like animals to be quiet and docile.'
0:08:30 > 0:08:34These can be feisty, but are generally very gentle...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38They like to be stroked every morning.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41That fits in with the sort of thing I like animals to be.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I don't like animals that are aggressive.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Caring for their pigs was just the tonic they needed on retiring.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Hilary had been a GP...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and Clive an Army surgeon.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04If you have given up a very busy job, you need something that's...
0:09:04 > 0:09:05comparably busy.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13They're two absorbing lifestyles.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17They're so different, but have similarities going through them -
0:09:17 > 0:09:21if you're looking after animals and looking after patients...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And there's a LOT of looking after.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30One of Clive's daily jobs, come rain or shine, is to feed their 15 pigs.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Weaners, and that's for the sow...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The feeding's a bit like my ward rounds of the old days -
0:09:40 > 0:09:43you do your morning round and your evening round,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and get 'em settled down.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47But the morning round is... Well, I enjoy it
0:09:47 > 0:09:50cos it gets you up, especially if the weather's nice,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and you do it early, and they appreciate it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57And then, we're off. Ugh!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So, this is the first pen.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So, there's three girls here, so I'll just go and throw the stuff in.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Oh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- HE WHISTLES - Come on, girls.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17There you go, girls.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Not quite the same as the rounds in a military hospital,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22but Clive is equally attentive,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25especially when he can see that one of the pigs
0:10:25 > 0:10:28has more than food on its mind.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30She's what's called "hogging,"
0:10:30 > 0:10:32which is going to be interesting at the show.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36It seems that what looks like having a back scratch
0:10:36 > 0:10:40is actually an indication that a pig is looking to mate.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46One of their sows is already pregnant,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and Clive is anxious not to miss the birth.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53This is Peppa, who's due a litter.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Come on. Here we go.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00There! There, you a hungry girl?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Come on. Are you ready?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Are you ready? Nah, you're not ready yet.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09You've got to check the underlines to see if they're producing milk,
0:11:09 > 0:11:13then they might have babies in the next 24 hours, but...
0:11:13 > 0:11:18we thought she was going to produce last week, but I don't think she is.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22In fact, he's found a good way to keep his eye on her.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25There's CCTV in there, so we monitor her
0:11:25 > 0:11:29to make sure that we don't miss the deliveries.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Being so hands-on with the breeding
0:11:32 > 0:11:34means Clive is quite happy not to get involved
0:11:34 > 0:11:36with the farm's paperwork.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Only two this morning.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Luckily, his daughter Rebecca is on hand.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Rebecca's already running the business
0:11:43 > 0:11:46with Hilary doing the accounting side.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49No paperwork for me, which is very desirable.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Some farms struggle to keep the next generation involved,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59but Rebecca is so keen, she's started studying rural accountancy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06The farm is an incredibly important part in producing
0:12:06 > 0:12:08our food, and everything,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12and I just love the fact that I can play a small part in it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18They may share a passion for working the land, but they harbour a keen
0:12:18 > 0:12:20father-daughter rivalry.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26This even stretches to how to slice the cured coppa ham
0:12:26 > 0:12:28they produce on the farm.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Dad and I have got an interesting relationship
0:12:35 > 0:12:37when it comes down to our butchery.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41With his old profession, he believes he's better,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42but not necessarily quicker.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I like to do it perfectly, Rebecca likes to do it quickly.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Yes, Rebecca always likes to finish first.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58But this rivalry is put aside when it comes to the shows.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Constructively critical of each other in the ring,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02to try and get the best result...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06..because we're trying to achieve the same aim.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10We always go to try and win.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It really puts our name out there.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17We always hope that our pigs will do well against everyone else.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Back in the Brecon Beacons,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Barbara's spending time with some of her lodgers -
0:13:34 > 0:13:36her seven-week-old piglets.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Come on, pigs.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Right, give me the lettuce.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Here we are.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48They've got a lovely lettuce today to play football with.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Let's see if they play rugby well. Here you are, pigs.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56There you are. Now, then.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57There's the rugby team.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05There's 15 weaners now.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The other 15 have been sold already, and gone to new homes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And they will see Christmas -
0:14:10 > 0:14:12they'll see it on the table, I'm afraid.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16There we are - it didn't take long to demolish that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Right. Come with me, I've got something special to show you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28However, not all are destined for the table.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Look over here at the newborn litter.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36These piglets are born from prize-winning stock,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40and are extremely valuable to Barbara.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Two of the newborn piglets are gilts -
0:14:43 > 0:14:45in other words, young females -
0:14:45 > 0:14:48and I've checked them over already when they were born,
0:14:48 > 0:14:49and it looks to me like they could be
0:14:49 > 0:14:52potential show pigs for next year.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And Barbara knows the signs.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58A future champion must have a perfect line of teats.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08Their teats have to be in pairs, and they need 12 to 14 teats per sow.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Other breeds need more teats because they have larger litters.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Oh, thank you(!) Mind your feet.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Thank you(!) Shhh!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's very important even a boar has the correct number of teats
0:15:21 > 0:15:24underneath in the correct placement,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27because he's going to pass those on to his daughters,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31and you don't want to have misplaced teats.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33PIGS SQUEAL
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Stop arguing, girls! Give over!
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Champion boars can also be loaned out to service other herds.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This helps Barbara keep the farm afloat.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Of the three boars, we've only got one on the premises at the moment.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53The other two are out on active service elsewhere.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55One's on a job down in Tenby,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and the other's on a job up in the woods fairly locally.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01There you are - have some more.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07The only boar not on loan is prize-winning Jasper,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10though tomorrow's show will be his last.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I do feel very sad when I sell some of my breeding stock.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I shall be very sad to see this boar go.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22He's got to go, because he's related to all the pigs on the farm.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Come on, Jasper. Down you go.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27You just can't mate relatives,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31as inbreeding could be disastrous for any piglets,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and impact the future of the farm.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37In you go.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40He's been a lovely character, he's been super to handle.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43He's always behaved himself impeccably, and I can't fault him.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45He's been such a nice chap.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I shall be very, very sad to see him go.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57As well as Jasper's curtain call,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00the upcoming show will be the last competition
0:17:00 > 0:17:04for Rebecca's favourite pig, Doris.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Come on. There you go, come on.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Out you come!
0:17:08 > 0:17:09I love Doris.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12She was born on the property.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Don't drink it! No!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's got shampoo in, you stupid pig!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22She's just my pig.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23We have a good bond.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27She tends to be much better behaved for me than for Dad and Mum.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Pigs are fiercely independent,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and Rebecca's struggling with the pre-show bath.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- I don't want her in that muck. - I know!
0:17:48 > 0:17:49No!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Good girl.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Oi!
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Go on.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Back in.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04If she doesn't want to do it, she won't.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09She is definitely, um, our stroppiest of the pigs,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13definitely the one with the most attitude.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Right, come on.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19They're very strong, pigs.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29That's all the washing she's going to take for today.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Feisty pigs are difficult to manage,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35which is why they use a board and stick when they're in the showring.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Hopefully, it will focus them in one direction, and stop them
0:18:42 > 0:18:44being distracted by other pigs.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And a gentle tap with the stick should keep them
0:18:47 > 0:18:49on the straight and narrow.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Of course, this all sounds good in theory.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02It is an occupational hazard.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04If a pig takes it into their mind
0:19:04 > 0:19:06that they're just going to go for a run,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08they'll go for a run.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You need to be quite fit to manage them.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15DUCKS QUACK
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Luckily, in the showring, it is a dedicated area.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22They can run, but they can't run that far.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Unlike here, where they've got a few acres to run in if they want to.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34And as Bessie did want to this afternoon!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37PIG GRUNTS
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Back over the border in Wales,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45the other farm has had their fair share of chasing pigs.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I used to have to take the pigs round the ring in the early days,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51but I gave that up.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54When you're showing pigs, you keep your legs together.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58If you don't, you end up with a pig running between your legs,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59and you ride the pig round.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Fortunately, the pig you were on was quite a small one.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05But that was quite embarrassing, really.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I keep my legs together!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09HE LAUGHS
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Ah!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12No comment!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It's finally time for both families to head off to the show.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23All year round, they've been building up to this day.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Straight back.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Slowly... Whoa!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Since his father's retirement from the showring,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Ceri happily accompanies his mother.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I've been learning everything off my mum,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and she's been teaching me everything.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Let's go and get the yellow box.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And I wouldn't trust anybody else.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52We take the yellow box to all the shows with us.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's got all our kit in it for the pigs.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56We've put all our feeding stuff in there,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and we've got everything in there that we need.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00After you've just been showing off your pigs,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03it's also extremely useful to sit on it!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Obviously when we close the lid. - Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Just fits - aren't we lucky? Right, we're ready.- We're ready.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13That's super.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Put down the carpet for the pigs...
0:21:24 > 0:21:27The next big challenge is to load the pigs.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31It's taken years for the families to breed these potential winners,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34so they can only hope they're willing to co-operate.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36There we are.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39All we've got to do now is load the pigs, and we're ready for off.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Right, let's go and get the boar.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Come on, big boy.- Come on, then.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49First up is Jasper.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Good boy. Down the step.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Come on, then. Off to the show.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And he's only too happy to oblige.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Jasper's already packed now, ready for the show.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03There you are.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09On the other farm, troublesome Doris is already loaded up.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10She's really feisty, isn't she?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Cos she's already moved the whole flipping frame around.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But they will have to open the gate to let the others in, and hope that
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Doris doesn't make a run for it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I'll just...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24She'll try and get out if we open up.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26If she does do a blinder, which she's trying to,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29which is a bit frustrating...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It should be fine, but this is just a precaution
0:22:32 > 0:22:35that we won't be chasing pigs all around.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Come on, then. Showtime!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Come on!- There we go, good girl. This way.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- This way.- Yeah, just get it open.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Come on, then. This way. No, ch-ch-ch-ch...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Oh, no, she's gone around that way.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But Doris is trying to make a break for it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- No, Dad, close it again.- Well, if you just get her out that way...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59She won't, she's...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Yeah... Oh...- I can't do it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- I know, they're going to fight. - These two are going to fight.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Yeah.- Yeah, they are. Come on.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Dad, just let her out if she wants to come out.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Is she coming up?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah... No, Doris isn't going to the show.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- She's not going to...? - She's not going to the show.- OK.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Doris is staying. I'm sorry, she's not happy enough to go,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and I'm not going to put her through it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26If she's not happy with the run-up to it,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29she won't be happy down at the showring.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33The welfare of the animals always comes first.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Come on. This way.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40And luckily, all the other pigs seem happy at the prospect of a trip.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Come on, girls. Off to the show.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Good girl. Good girl. - There's a good girl.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47All three are going in together.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- That's it.- All done, so that's good.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Right. That's the pigs loaded.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Right, here we come, Dorset.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21The Dorset County Agricultural Show is beginning to stir.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Home to one of the largest pig championships in the country,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28this prestigious event is a highlight of the farming calendar.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41The pigs are still asleep.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46But out on the campsite,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Clive and Rebecca are already worrying how they will perform.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55I'm hoping they've now got their mind-set into the show,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and they'll behave, fingers crossed.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00If not, you'll see me running round the showring after a pig.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02They've got their show snouts on.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Yeah. - HE CHUCKLES
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- We're ready to go...- Yeah. - ..just got to go and brush 'em up.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- I'd better get into my glad rags for showing.- Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Cos I'm not going to win any prizes like this.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15- No.- Let's go.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Meanwhile, Barbara's also been up for hours.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26First thing this morning, we gave them a drink of water,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28we gave them their feed.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30They had about three pounds of nuts.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32They're now sleeping off their breakfast.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37While the pigs get forty winks,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Barbara and son Ceri get the show on the road.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44This is our lovely Tamworth breed bunting
0:25:44 > 0:25:46that we put up at all the shows.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47It's getting a little bit tatty now.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Then we'll have to put Ceri in with the pigs to tie it up for us.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But, um... No, we're doing all right.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I like coming to the shows, because the atmosphere...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00you can't beat it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's like going to a festival or something.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05It's just, everything about it, you get the community,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07all the people here, bringing their own pigs, and everything.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10PIGS SQUEAL
0:26:10 > 0:26:12You're going straight down.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I have already been round and had a look at the opposition.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22The standard of pigs here today is extremely high.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27It's the judge's opinion on the day, and we have to respect that
0:26:27 > 0:26:29whatever we think about it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And I really don't mind, because I know my pigs are the best!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34SHE CHUCKLES
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Over in the other pen, Clive may not have any bunting...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42..but he's got a secret weapon...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Some pigs aren't allowed any treatment, some pigs are,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and the Oxfords are allowed pig oil.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52So we've just got to see if he'll enjoy it this morning.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Hello, boy. Yeah!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Let's get you oiled up to make you shine.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01The oil is mineral-based,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05and traditionally used on pigs to stop their skin from cracking.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Oh, sorry, boy! Sorry, boy.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Little bit on the ears...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The oil increases the contrast
0:27:12 > 0:27:14between the ginger and the black spot.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19In the sunshine they also start to shine a bit, as opposed to...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It's probably no different to hairspray.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Good boy. - PIG GRUNTS
0:27:25 > 0:27:26There's a good boy.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And a judge wants to see a nice, clean pig.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32He doesn't want any dirt on it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Right, I've got the washing kit ready.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Barbara's pigs have finally woken up,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and she's also getting their shine on.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46She doesn't always like being woken up.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Come on in with me.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53You lay down, and I can do your stomach, can't I?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Come on. Yes, lay down.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Usually, if you tickle their stomach, they lay down for you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03There you are - I can now wash her feet and get them clean.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12As competition time approaches, spectators fill the showground.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Over 50,000 people will come to experience
0:28:15 > 0:28:18the very best of Dorset's country life.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Definitely a great social kind of atmosphere.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27In the pig tent, particularly, but just generally in the shows.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Cos everyone's really having a kind of cracking day out.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Particularly, for a lot of these pedigree breeders,
0:28:32 > 0:28:36this is the culmination of all their kind of hard work over the year...
0:28:36 > 0:28:38So, yeah, it's absolutely marvellous from that point of view.
0:28:42 > 0:28:48It's 9am, and this year's pig competition is about to begin.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51We all wear a white coat in the ring.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54If they get really badly soiled at any point,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56we have to change them, and put another white coat on.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Keeping them white is another matter.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Both families have done everything they can.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Months of planning,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07feeding and grooming have all come down to this moment.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- CLIVE:- Half the thrill is getting your white coat on
0:29:09 > 0:29:10and going in the ring,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and if the judge likes what we've produced,
0:29:13 > 0:29:14it'll be the icing on the cake.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Now we're ready.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20We weren't ready five minutes ago, but we're sort of ready now.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24We're expecting a very good show today.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27A little bit of rain, but not too much.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28It's not too hot,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31so it's a pleasant day for the animals that are exhibiting.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36So, we're expecting very good attendances,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38we're expecting a good public response,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40for a nice, friendly, family show.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47First into the ring will be Barbara's champion boar, Jasper.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48We're going to have to be careful
0:29:48 > 0:29:50with one of our other competitors, Andrew.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54He's just had a hip replacement, and the last thing he wants is to be
0:29:54 > 0:29:56bowled over in the ring.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Today's judge is Brian Merry.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Really looking forward to this day.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Hopefully, they'll be some nice pigs here to be judged.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17And he has a checklist of criteria he will be looking out for.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Strong back legs...
0:30:21 > 0:30:25..and a good walk, with a leg in each corner.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29A straight back, not too overweight.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31And a good underline.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34This means symmetrical teats, even for the boars.
0:30:35 > 0:30:41And finally, hairy ears, as this indicates the strength of the breed.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44If it has got a nice face, it's an eye-catcher,
0:30:44 > 0:30:45you know, and that's what it's all about,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48to catch the eye of the judge, you know.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I think everybody likes pigs, don't they?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Mind your backs - boar coming through!
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Two of them away.- Yeah.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03And in Jasper goes.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08He's competing against two others in this round.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13All boars must have two handlers leading them round.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17They can be extremely dangerous.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21If even slightly provoked, these males can attack each other,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23causing potentially fatal injuries.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Even judge Brian has to be extremely cautious.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Right. He's... Yeah.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44But it's not Barbara and Ceri's victory this time.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45APPLAUSE
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Another boar trots away with first prize.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Jasper returns to the pen.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59It's not quite the start Barbara had hoped for.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02He came third... out of three, admittedly.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05But not disappointed, the judge had an extremely valid reason.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- JASPER GRUNTS - Oh, I know!
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Stop it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11He's probably a little bit overweight at the moment,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13which I tend to agree with.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We take a look at all the other pigs that we're against...
0:32:17 > 0:32:19that we're up against, the day before or something,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23but we still have no idea what's going to happen
0:32:23 > 0:32:25when we're in the ring.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- BOAR SNORTS - Excuse me, please!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Right, onwards and upwards. Next one's ready. Cleaned that one...
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I'm really pleased that I've got somebody in the family
0:32:35 > 0:32:37that can show pigs sensibly and nicely,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40though you have been sent out of the ring before now
0:32:40 > 0:32:43for not having your top button done up.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I know, it's such... I know, it's... I... Oh!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47There were two exhibitors there,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50there were 30 children in the ring with their pigs at Bath & West,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54and one of... Martin Snell, who was judging,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57picked out the two boys that hadn't got their button done up,
0:32:57 > 0:32:58and sent them out of the ring,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00because he had to thin them out somehow.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Unfortunately, you were sent out straight away.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- But apart from that, I was amazing. - Oh, I'm sure you were, dear. Mmm.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- TANNOY:- Mr and Mrs Honeywell's...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Clive and Rebecca are up next
0:33:17 > 0:33:21with their Oxford Sandy and Black boar, Pongo.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Hopefully, we'll be in with a good chance -
0:33:23 > 0:33:27it'll just depend on how the pigs perform in the ring.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Into the ring they go.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Pongo has never won before,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41and today he's up against his nemesis...
0:33:42 > 0:33:46..a champion boar who has beaten him three times before.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Morning.- Morning.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01For these new pig breeders,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05breaking into the top circle is proving very difficult.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Come on, boy. Walk up. There you go.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Walk on... Good boy.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16The judge is taking his time to make up his mind.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But he's finally made a decision. APPLAUSE
0:34:22 > 0:34:25And Pongo's done it at last!
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Well done.- Thank you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- CLIVE CHUCKLES - Well done. Well done, boy.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Get in!- Well done.- Get in there!
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Get in! Well...- Yes, really good. - ..we're chuffed.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Dead chuffed.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45He's a good walker, and he'll go on to be a good breeding boar.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49There you go. Good boy.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Walk on. Walk on.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53So, being the vet for Clive and his family,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55it's absolutely wonderful to see them
0:34:55 > 0:34:57when they're actually getting prizes and getting an end result.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59And there's definitely a...
0:34:59 > 0:35:01You could see the pride in their faces.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Pongo's done us proud.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Caught the judge's eye over the other one.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07There was only two in the class,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- but we can't complain with a... with a first.- No.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23While Hilary is taking a back seat with today's showing,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26she's been busy looking at how they could branch out
0:35:26 > 0:35:27with their show ambitions.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31We've been playing with the idea of possibly showing
0:35:31 > 0:35:34some of our rare breed birds,
0:35:34 > 0:35:40and we also think maybe we could bring some of our eggs.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42COCKEREL CROWS
0:35:42 > 0:35:46I don't see the point of these, cos the eggs must be pretty small.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Er, I don't like the look of that.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Here at the poultry tent, there are dozens of birds on show.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Like the Silver Laced Wyandotte...
0:36:00 > 0:36:01The Silkie...
0:36:02 > 0:36:04A Barred Wyandotte...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07And a Gold Pencilled Friesian.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09COCKEREL CROWS
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- We've had better looking birds than that, really.- Yeah.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15There are well over 100 breeds
0:36:15 > 0:36:17and varieties of poultry in this country,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20from chickens to ducks, geese and turkeys.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23The prices are quite interesting.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27And these country shows are a good place for breeders to be.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33COCKEREL CROWS
0:36:33 > 0:36:36For breakfast, I always have a couple of duck eggs
0:36:36 > 0:36:38and four rashers of my own bacon,
0:36:38 > 0:36:43so, actually, chickens and pigs go quite well every morning for me.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46As well as owning show breeds,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50these two pig farmers also rescue battery hens.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51They were lovely, cos you felt...
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Cos they were commercially at the end,
0:36:54 > 0:36:55but they did us proud with the eggs.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- They did, yes - they were very good. - And now we've bought some...
0:36:58 > 0:37:03what are called hybrid chickens, and they've been great layers.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06We've had the best eggs out of them.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- So...- Very good layers, and one of them wants to be a house chicken.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Yeah. She's the only chicken out of the 40
0:37:12 > 0:37:14that's come into the kitchen.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Yes! Walked in herself.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22How much trouble is it to load an egg into the trailer?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- SHE LAUGHS - It's not going to be difficult, is it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I wouldn't put it in the trailer - I'd put it in the car.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30If you're doing pigs, I reckon you could load an egg quite easily.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Morning, girls!
0:37:41 > 0:37:46January girls, ring one, numbers nine, ten, 11, 12 and 13.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Do we have a number 73? Tamworth sow?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53After a disappointing start,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Barbara's hoping to do better with her female pigs,
0:37:56 > 0:37:59but she's a little nervous about the judge.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04The judge we have breeds his own pigs,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06and is very well known for them.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08This judge won't miss anything.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12And we know our pigs aren't perfect. There isn't a perfect pig.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Please, Tamworth July girls.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Right, we're ready.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22In they go.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26But it's not long before it's chaos in the ring.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33The judge needs to inspect the four pigs.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Sorry.- But there's little chance of that...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39PIG SNORTS
0:38:39 > 0:38:42..unless the handlers can keep them still.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00But he's finally managed to make a decision.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02APPLAUSE
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Ceri grabs the first prize...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11..with Barbara bagging the second.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14APPLAUSE
0:39:14 > 0:39:16An excellent result, at last.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I gave them first and second in that class
0:39:19 > 0:39:21because the conformation was right,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24they walked quite well, and that is why I gave them first and second.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26There wasn't much between the first and second, actually -
0:39:26 > 0:39:27it could have gone either way.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36So, that was a lovely result, that was.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39No! Ceri and I winning first and second in the class
0:39:39 > 0:39:41was absolutely super.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I think the pigs really deserved it there.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46I was very pleased with my pigs.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48I did think they looked absolutely beautiful.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Yeah, it was absolutely amazing.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52The pigs behaved immaculately...
0:39:52 > 0:39:53To be honest, it was like
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I didn't even have to show them round the ring.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00They just showed themselves, so it made my job a little easier.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07The day's judging is almost over.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- APPLAUSE - OK.- Thank you.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Barbara's landed another prize.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15So has Clive.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20And Rebecca's also won first prize for her sow, Herbie.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Thank you.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Nice pig.- Thank you very much!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26It's made coming to the show worthwhile.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Across the field, the same could be said
0:40:30 > 0:40:34for the thousands of visitors and competitors enjoying everything
0:40:34 > 0:40:36this country fair has to offer.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Now it's the final judging of the day,
0:40:42 > 0:40:46and father and daughter have a chance to play out their rivalry.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50It looks like I'm up against Dad, so we'll see how it goes.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Come on.- Here comes Dad with Pongo.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58- Come on.- And this is to win the prestigious title of Breed Champion.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Nothing like being up against your daughter in the champions!
0:41:06 > 0:41:10This is a big opportunity for these relatively new pig farmers.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15And they're up against three other winners.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Rebecca takes the crown...
0:41:19 > 0:41:22winning hands down with her sow.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- You're the Champion Champion... The Breed Champion.- Brilliant.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- Thank you.- And the Best in Show.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Thank you very much.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30- Brilliant.- Nice pig.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34But in the excitement, she's misplaced her winning pig.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- I've lost her now!- Bring your pig back down, there we go.- Sorry!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41She's the ultimate Sandy and Black.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Everything about that pig was 100%.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46It was right, it was correct, all the way through.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- One you'd take home, as they say. - SHE GIGGLES
0:41:52 > 0:41:55I'm extremely disappointed, mortified,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59and it'll take at least three ciders to get over the effect that...
0:41:59 > 0:42:00Rebecca won.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03SHE LAUGHS
0:42:03 > 0:42:06The day is almost over, and the crowds are keen to see
0:42:06 > 0:42:08all the prize-winning pigs.
0:42:11 > 0:42:17For the two families, all their work has certainly paid off.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20This is the culmination of 18 months' work.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23It's really paid off.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The pigs have done fantastically well,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28and they've got us some fantastic rosettes.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32It really makes the showing worth it when you do have that pig
0:42:32 > 0:42:34that comes out on top.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37It's what we put all the time and effort into.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39PIGS GRUNT
0:42:41 > 0:42:43It's been a lovely show here today.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45We've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48but I'm very hot and very tired now!
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I'm feeling absolutely brilliant at the moment.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Great to be at a show,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55great to finally have finished all the showing,
0:42:55 > 0:42:58and now we can just go around and have a look at the show.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00AND have a nice drink.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03First stop, the bar. Come on, let's go!
