-The sea is so blue, isn't it? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-Everything looks lovely - -everything. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-The only way the islanders -can cross to Oban is by ferry. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-As we waited to cross -over to Mull... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-..Charles and I -saw many farmers from Mull. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-They were bringing suckler calves -over for the sale in Oban. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
-It shows you how much traffic -there is... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-..between the mainland -and the island. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-There isn't much room for cars -today. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-There are some big cattle -on those lorries. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-I've seen a few loads. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-You don't expect them -to be that big. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-The ferry comes in at 9.30am -and then it goes straight back. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
-Like every other sale, it's a chance -for farmers to meet up... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
-..and to talk about how things are -now and the future of agriculture. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-Sometimes, things aren't as easy -as you'd expect. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |

-..Charles and I -set our sights on Mull. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-It was a chance -to enjoy the fine weather... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
-..for the last time, -as it turned out. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
-The weather was a lot worse -on the island. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-These are good cattle. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
-These are good cattle. - -It's a good bunch. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |

-He said they're four years old. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |

-First cross. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-A pure-bred cow, of course. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-The bull gives a roan colour. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-I like that black cow, but he said -black cows don't sell so well. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
-They don't need much feeding. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-They're kept inside -as calves only in their first year. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-He gave these a Lim bull. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
-He gave these a Lim bull. - -He'll get good calves. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |

-They seem to have kept -their mothers' colours. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-Highland cattle -come in many colours. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-Yes. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
-As you pointed out... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-..the blue-black heifer demonstrates -the different colours there are. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-Donald, good morning. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
-Donald, good morning. - -Good morning, Dai. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |

-This is Donald MacGillivray. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-He keeps Highland cattle. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-This year, he's the President -of the Highland Cattle Society. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
-I was just telling our natives! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-A great honour. | 0:08:59 | 0:08:59 | |
-A great honour. - -A tremendous honour. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
-A tremendous honour. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
-I've been involved with the breed -for over 50 years... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-..and I've had some ups and downs. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-But this is a pinnacle -that I didn't expect to achieve. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-You hold the record price. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
-You hold the record price. - -I hold the record price... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:16 | |
-I hold the record price... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
-..for a Highland bull. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
-20,000 guineas in '92 -and then again in '94. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
-A very proud man I am. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
-A very proud man I am. - -Was your father here farming? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-Was your father here farming? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:26 | |
-My father was a farms manager. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-I'm the first generation -of farming in my own right. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
-And you've enjoyed -every minute of it? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-I would never go back -to working for someone else. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-It's more satisfying. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-I see that you've started crossing -cattle for the trade... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-..and getting money. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
-We've all got to get money. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-The reason that these are crossed -is we've kept too many pures. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-After Foot & Mouth and the -export business collapsing... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-..we crossed the lower end of the -cattle to maintain our cross herd. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
-It's totally self-contained. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-We have no bought-in stock, -except bulls. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-Charles and I -weren't disappointed... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-..when we saw -Donald MacGillivray's cattle. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
-These are his pedigree cows. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-Look at those horns! | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
-Look at those horns! - -Indeed! | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
-Indeed! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:28 | |
-You've got to get close to them -to appreciate their physique. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-They're heavy. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
-They have very good hindquarters... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
-..when you consider -that they're mountain cattle. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-They're outside in all weathers. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-They haven't been inside -since they were calves. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-He hasn't sold any bulls -for three years... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..and he likes to sell just one bull -at a time, and it has to be right. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:57 | |
-He said he was going to keep -several of these calves as bulls. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
-They're very fine cattle. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-I'm surprised at how quiet they are. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-They're out on the mountain -nearly all year. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-They have a nice temperament... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-..but don't mess with them -when they have calves. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-Blimey, look at those horns! | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-I like the horns. -I think they add character. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-Welsh Black cattle -have lost character... | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-..through losing their horns. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-You had something to say -at the Royal Welsh Show... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-..when you saw them in the ring -with their horns. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
-These have very fine horns. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-These have very fine horns. - -They're fine cows. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:41 | |
-They're fine cows. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
-. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:43 | |

-888 | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-The weather can be a problem -in Wales... | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-..but it's even worse in Scotland. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Heavy rain all the time -and a cold wind too. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
-But that doesn't matter -when the cattle look so fine. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
-There are several herds -of Highland cattle on Mull. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-One of the areas where they're most -abundant is the Glen Forsa area... | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
-..a glen that runs for many miles -from the coast into the mountains. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-Donald MacGillivray's neighbour, -Hugh MacPhail, lives here. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-There's the bull, Dai. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
-Over there. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
-These are all heifers. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-Fine heifers, too. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:00 | |
-Fine heifers, too. - -They're nice. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
-They're nice. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
-Very good. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:03 | |
-These calves are quite young. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
-Look at these acres of land. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-We've seen thousands of acres. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-These calves and cows - -the older calves have gone. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-There are a few later calves here. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-Look at the horns on that one! -It looks magnificent! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-They're in their native habitat, -like sheep in their native habitat. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
-They prevent trees -from taking over the land. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
-The land must be good - -look at the colour of those trees. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-The trees, and the cattle. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-These cows have reared a calf -and now they're in calf again... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
-..but they're -in such good condition. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-And they're not fed, -apart from the odd block. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-The bull's been with the cows -all summer. He looks well. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
-You could call it a paradise, -couldn't you? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-50 wives, and beautiful scenery! -What more could you want? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-Without breaking a single law! | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-There's a cold wind this morning. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-Yes, but it's not raining. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
-Look - a place to sit. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-Quite a few people live here. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-Over there -are the islands of Coll and Tiree. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-Yes, out there. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-These winding roads we've been -travelling along this morning... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-..are drovers' roads. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
-Their traditions are similar -to Welsh traditions. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-It's like the road from Tregaron -to Abergwesyn... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-..winding, and lots of hills. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-The road was originally -a cattle track. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-There are two cemeteries here. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-There are two cemeteries here. - -Yes, I noticed. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:07 | |
-Yes, I noticed. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
-There aren't many houses, though. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
-There aren't many houses, though. - -Maybe there used to be more. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
-Maybe there used to be more. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-It's different from Wales in one way -though... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-..there aren't so many derelict -cottages, though there are a few. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:24 | |
-No, I can't see any. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-And sheep and cattle -are thin on the ground. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 | |
-But it's cold. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
-You need an extra coat. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:37 | |
-You need an extra coat. - -Yes, October is showing its teeth. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
-Yes, October is showing its teeth. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-It's a very lonely spot. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
-The Highlands of Scotland... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-..are very similar to other -mountainous regions in Britain. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
-Lots of families -used to live in these mountains. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-But now trees have taken over -and people have fled... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-..and there's nothing -to draw them back. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-But there are some, -like Donald and Hugh, who remain. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-Like Welsh Black cattle in Wales... | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-..this is Scotland's -native cattle breed. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-Mull is a large place... | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-..but you won't travel far -without seeing Highland cattle. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
-There they are! | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
-Excellent! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-I mustn't forget my stick. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-Be careful! | 0:16:57 | 0:16:58 | |
-They've got good backs, -haven't they? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-And they've got nothing to eat. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-And they've got nothing to eat. - -They've found shelter. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
-They've found shelter. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:06 | |
-They're up to their horns in reeds. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-Reeds, bracken - -there's very little grass. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-They've reared these calves -and they're still looking fine. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-A creature can always find shelter. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-There's a bit of everything here. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-There are huge lochs everywhere -and the sea's nearby. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
-It's rough land. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-Look - there's a bull. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
-The bull's there with them. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-They're rearing good calves. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-But there are some lonely places -here. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-We've been on the road -for two hours. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-You see the occasional tourist. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-These people -farm huge expanses of land. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-They go out in the morning and -goodness knows when they get back. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
-They farm all sorts of land. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
-But these cattle are superb. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
-It's wonderful when you see -something in its native habitat. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
-Stick you and me in a town -and we're not happy! | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-They do so well -with nothing but rubbish to eat. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
-Let's go. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
-You're a gentleman of leisure, -having someone to drive you around! | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
-I've never had it so good! | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-Mull is a beautiful place but you -have to put up with the weather. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
-This morning we've had more rain -than I've ever seen before. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
-We're on our way -to Glengorm Castle... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
-..to see the island's largest herd -of Highland cattle. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
-They're preparing cattle to take -to the show and sale in Oban. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
-This should be fun! | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
-Up to now, we've visited -ordinary farms on the island. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
-But Scotland is famous -for its country estates... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
-..so we had to visit one of them - -the Glengorm Estate. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-They were busy preparing cattle for -the Highland Cattle Society sale. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
-This estate, like many others, -sells its produce to local butchers. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
-The Scots are past masters -at promoting their own produce. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-The beef that's produced here... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
-..is classed as beef of the -finest quality - premium beef. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
-Hello, sir! Good morning! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-You must be Mr Tom Nelson. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-You must be Mr Tom Nelson. - -I am. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
-I am. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:48 | |
-You've got some good cows. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-We've come to see how you boys -are making all this money! | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-Thanks for coming to see us! | 0:20:56 | 0:20:56 | |
-Thanks for coming to see us! - -Nice heifer. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Thanks for coming to see us! | 0:20:58 | 0:20:58 | |
-What age would these heifers be? | 0:20:58 | 0:20:58 | |
-What age would these heifers be? | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
-What age would these heifers be? - -Three-year-old in-calf heifers. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-Three-year-old in-calf heifers. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:01 | |
-They'll calve when? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
-They'll calve mid-March onwards. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-You've got all these -going to the sale? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
-We've got about nine going. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-Some are Angus's own. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
-Some are Angus's own. - -They take some washing. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
-They take some washing. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
-May we look around? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
-Please do. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-That's a fine heifer. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
-Look at that coat. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-She's a large heifer, Dai. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
-Yes, and so's this one. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
-It's strange, when you consider -that these cattle... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-..have been outdoors almost all -their lives, they're so quiet. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
-They're not very difficult to lead. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-And look, haven't they got -good quarters? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-They're very fine cattle -when you take a good look at them. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
-They're kept in here at the moment -just to prepare them. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
-They live outside. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
-Look, black ones. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
-Are the black -hardier than the others? | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-Not any noticeable difference - -just the colour. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
-Would you have a black bull? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
-Would you have a black bull? - -Yes, we have a black bull. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
-Yes, we have a black bull. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-These two black heifers -are in calf to a black bull. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
-The reds are in calf to red bulls. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
-The reds are in calf to red bulls. - -Tremendous length in your cattle. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-The reds are in calf to red bulls. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:21 | |
-There's tremendous length -in that heifer. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-How many cows do you keep? | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-How many cows do you keep? - -We keep about 65 cows. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
-We keep about 65 cows. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:29 | |
-They're all pure. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-Out all year round. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
-They calve outside. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
-They don't like it inside. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-There's too much hair on them. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
-They're like me - -once I'm under cover, I'm sweating! | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-You sell meat to your local butcher -in Tobermory. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-It's a good sign. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:50 | |
-It's a good sign. - -Yes. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
-Yes. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
-We sell most of our bullocks -locally. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-They're killed on the island. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
-We sell half through the butcher -and half through our own farm shop. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:03 | |
-The females are sold either at the -Oban breeding sale or privately. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
-Thank you for letting us come. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-We've been admiring your castle. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
-We've been admiring your castle. - -My pleasure. Thanks for coming. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:14 | |
-My pleasure. Thanks for coming. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:15 | |
-These days, even large estates -have to diversify... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
-..in order to make ends meet. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
-Here at the Glengorm Estate, -they've established a cafe... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
-..and a shop that only sells -their own food produce... | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
-..of vegetables and meat. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
-. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:36 | |
-888 | 0:23:49 | 0:23:49 | |
-888 | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
-Living on a lonely, remote island, -surrounded by beauty... | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
-..is ideal for some people. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
-But living and making a livelihood -here can be difficult. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
-The farmers know this. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
-When they have stock to sell, -they must cross over to Oban... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
-..which costs money. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
-But sometimes, -to make things easier... | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
-..they have a small sale -on the island... | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
-..in a place called Craignure. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
-This is very rustic, isn't it? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
-They've brought their calves here. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
-They're selling well. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
-That bus you saw was carrying buyers -from the mainland. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
-They've come on the ferry. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
-He's selling -without a microphone or anything. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-They're marked with different -colours for different buyers. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
-This one's a Highland-Lim cross, -isn't it? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
-They're selling one by one. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
-A few are sold in a bunch. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-There must be 60 to 100 cows here. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
-Being able to hold a sale here must -be a great help to island farmers. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
-They don't have to take the ferry. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
-They don't have to take the ferry. - -They already have lorries here. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
-They already have lorries here. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
-It's the same auctioneer -we saw in Oban. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-He's good. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-None of the cattle have tickets. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
-They rely on colours. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
-Marking is important. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
-Marks are put in different places. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-Each buyer has his own colour. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-The mart is held here -only occasionally. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
-It's organised by the same company -as in Oban. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-They save a lot on transport costs. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-There are lots of smallholders here. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
-Some of these people -sold calves in Oban. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
-If they have a few calves left, -they can bring them here. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
-Nothing's weighed here. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
-They accept them -the way they appear in the ring. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
-AUCTIONEER SPEAKS RAPIDLY | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
-Dai, it surprises me -how quiet these cattle are. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:57 | |
-But you don't have to do much -to send them away. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
-I thought if you went up to them -they'd run all over the place. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
-These have buckets, -and a creep for the calves. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
-The calves look well-fed. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
-Torosay Castle. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-They're lying there, -they've obviously got enough grass. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
-It's old grassland. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
-No-one uses a plough. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
-Ploughs just aren't used. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
-We haven't seen any signs -of ploughing. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-It's strange, the way they graze. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
-They have so much... | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
-A Scotsman told me the difference -between Wales and Scotland... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
-..is that Wales -has five sheep per acre... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-..and Scotland -has five acres per sheep. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-That's quite true. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
-Look at those horns. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:53 | |
-Horns give them so much character. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:54 | |
-Horns give them so much character. - -It's as if they're in a cowshed. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
-It's as if they're in a cowshed. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
-You could hang your cap... | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
-..your trousers and your underpants -on those horns! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
-And the sheets off the bed! | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
-The annual Highland Cattle Society -sale and show... | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
-..will take place in two days' time, -in Oban, on the mainland. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:19 | |
-Despite all the preparations -that need to be done... | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
-..Stuart Mackay of Torosay Castle, -like every farmer... | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
-..must still carry on -with his daily chores. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
-It's Sunday morning, 8 October. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
-Our departure from Mull was delayed -by a day because of bad weather... | 0:29:05 | 0:29:11 | |
-..but we enjoyed every minute. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
-As you can see, people have gathered -here at Oban market for the show. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:19 | |
-I thought there'd be -a few Welsh people here... | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
-..but one Welshman in particular -stands out, here in the car park... | 0:29:23 | 0:29:28 | |
-..Ifor Williams! | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
-Here's one of the black heifers -from Glengorm. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
-She looks different, here. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
-She looks different, here. - -They've travelled well. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:37 | |
-They've travelled well. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:38 | |
-A very long body. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
-Look at that heifer's horns. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
-She's barely three years old -but look at those horns! | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
-They'll probably grow even more. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
-Yes - they're not fully grown -until they're five or six years old. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:55 | |
-This is going to be some show. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
-'Morning, boys. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
-Having travelled -all the way to Oban... | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
-..I never thought I'd meet a family -from Llyn Fanod... | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
-..which is on Mynydd Bach -in Ceredigion. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
-Their parents -are English incomers... | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
-..but the children go to Ysgol -Penuwch and they speak Welsh. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:26 | |
-What's your name? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:27 | |
-What's your name? - -Ameena. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:28 | |
-Ameena. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:29 | |
-What school do you go to? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
-What school do you go to? - -Penuwch. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:32 | |
-Do you like school? | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
-Do you like school? - -Yes. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:35 | |
-Yes. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:35 | |
-When did you come here? | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
-When did you come to Scotland - -today or yesterday? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
-Yesterday. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
-You've got a nice apple! | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
-Did you bring it from Penuwch? | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
-And what's your name? | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
-And what's your name? - -Alex. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:52 | |
-Alex. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:52 | |
-Do you like living in Penuwch? | 0:30:53 | 0:30:53 | |
-Do you like living in Penuwch? - -Yes. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
-Do you like living in Penuwch? | 0:30:55 | 0:30:55 | |
-What's the name of your herd -in Penuwch? | 0:30:55 | 0:30:59 | |
-The Reedland Fold. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
-The Almoosa family -came to live in Penuwch... | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
-..and the children -have learned Welsh. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
-They're developing -a herd of Highland cattle. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
-Their father is so keen -on these cattle... | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
-..he's volunteered -as a steward at the show. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
-The most surprising thing for me -is how big these cattle are. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
-I always thought they were small -cattle but they're very long... | 0:31:23 | 0:31:28 | |
-..and they have good bone. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:29 | |
-..and they have good bone. - -These three... | 0:31:29 | 0:31:30 | |
-These three... | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
-..were sired by a Glengorm bull. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
-They're excellent heifers. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
-When were they born? | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
-They're three years old. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
-Three-year-old heifers. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
-They carry out all the tests - -Johne's, IBR and everything... | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
-..even though the cattle -are kept outside. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
-Apparently, they're done -because of exports. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
-The other day on Mull, -we were at Torosay Castle. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
-Stuart is the farm bailiff there. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-He's here today -to help his grandmother. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-She has two heifers competing. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
-They're fine heifers, too. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:12 | |
-Six and eight. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:14 | |
-They'll be four years old -in a few months. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
-I'm sure they'll make their mark -in the ring today. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:23 | |
-This is the first competition -of the day, for older heifers. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
-Hugh MacPhail -of Callachally Farm, Mull... | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
-..whom we visited the other day... | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
-..he's the senior steward. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-Archie Galbraith - I hope I got -that name right - is the judge. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:46 | |
-He's from Argyll. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
-It's a strong class of heifers. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
-Some are nearly four years old -and they haven't calved. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
-Number eight has caught my eye... | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
-..but the judge -will look beneath all that hair. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
-There's another heifer, number 13. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
-I think it's between number 13 -and number eight... | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
-..but we'll see what the judge says. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
-He can feel -what's under all that hair. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
-He's a cattle breeder who's exported -many cattle over the years. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
-We mustn't forget that -here at today's show. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
-There are lots of German people -here... | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
-..and people from the Netherlands. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
-These cattle are popular -in those countries... | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
-..and exporting -is permitted once more. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
-I wonder if they'll be buying today. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:45 | |
-It seems the Germans have more money -than us in Wales, at any rate. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:51 | |
-I don't know about the Scots. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
-The Scots may be beaten -by the Germans today... | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
-..but they shouldn't forget -that Wil Rhydyfro is here! | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
-First prize - number 13. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
-Standing second, number nine. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
-Third - number one. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
-And fourth - number six. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-Donald MacGillivray, -the President... | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
-..you must be happy -with that class of heifers. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
-Exceptionally happy - to see -a parade like that is fantastic. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
-Not a bad one among them. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
-And to see a ringside -showing such enthusiasm. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
-People you introduced us to on Mull -are taking leading parts. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
-Hugh looks a happy steward. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:36 | |
-Hugh looks a happy steward. - -It's all part of the deal. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
-It's all part of the deal. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
-In autumn we cannot show... | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
-..because we're too busy -with sheep management. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
-Labour requirements don't allow us. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
-But we'll be all very active -in February. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
-We'll have in-calf heifers, as will -other traditional hill farmers... | 0:34:50 | 0:34:55 | |
-..who don't have the facility... | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
-..to handle sheep and cattle -simultaneously. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
-It's a very promising start. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
-This should be good. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
-Charles and I had a chance -to discuss, like everyone else. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:15 | |
-He's got 11 cattle. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
-You couldn't do better -than those two heifers. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
-Whoa, cariad! | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
-You'd think, with heifers like -those, he'd have lots of cattle. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
-I really like these cattle. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
-They have good legs too. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
-Of course, they live on mountains -and they cover a lot of ground... | 0:35:36 | 0:35:41 | |
-..so they must have good feet. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:43 | |
-There's the black Glengorm heifer. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
-I didn't realise Hugh MacPhail -was so tall. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
-He's very well suited to this job. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
-He's tall -and people have to listen to him. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
-He's a nice man. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
-The first and second prizes... | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
-..are going to the fold -that won the previous class. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:19 | |
-I'd say, Charles... | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
-..however the competition goes... | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
-..the champion will be from -one of these two classes. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
-It depends what you want. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
-If you want to market your herd, -you have to sell the best. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
-He may only have 11 cattle... | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
-..but he could make thousands today -from two heifers. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
-Exactly. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
-I notice -there are lots of women here. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
-Lots of women breed these cattle, -of course. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
-They don't have any staff -on their farms, so the wives... | 0:36:56 | 0:37:00 | |
-It's the same in Wales. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-It's the same in Wales. - -They're crucial. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:03 | |
-They're crucial. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:03 | |
-They play their part, fair play. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
-He's decided. There she is. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
-The same one as the previous class. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
-He'll be a very happy man. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
-Glengorm's come second. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
-Third, number 23, -and fourth, number 25. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
-. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:22 | |
-888 | 0:37:34 | 0:37:34 | |
-888 | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
-It's now mid afternoon... | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
-..but the competition is as keen -as it was all morning. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:44 | |
-It'll be another hour or two -before the championship. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:48 | |
-There are lots of heifers -in every class. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
-Here's one man who's been -very successful in today's show. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:22 | |
-His name's Jack Ramsay, -and he comes from Ayrshire. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
-He has two heifers at the show... | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-..and both have won first prize -in their classes. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
-Both are favourites -for the championship. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
-They've also won the best pair -of heifers class... | 0:38:37 | 0:38:41 | |
-..no mean feat -with so much competition. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
-Some of you -may find his face familiar. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
-You've seen him in Wales. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
-He plays quoits. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
-Last year, he played in Gorsgoch. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
-He couldn't go to Pumpsaint -this year... | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
-..but he's determined -to go to Caersws next year. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
-Jack Ramsay is a member of the -Scottish national quoits team... | 0:39:02 | 0:39:07 | |
-..and he also breeds cattle. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
-It's the championship, at last. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
-You've probably heard of Wil Davies -of Gwrhyd Stone, Rhydyfro. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:27 | |
-Wil, there are -some fine cattle here. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
-Do you have a favourite? | 0:39:30 | 0:39:31 | |
-Do you have a favourite? - -That light-coloured one, I think. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
-That light-coloured one, I think. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:34 | |
-Number 13. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
-I liked number eight -this morning too. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
-Jack Ramsay has won two classes, -hasn't he? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
-Have you bought cattle from him? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
-Yes, I bought the champion and the -reserve champion from him last year. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:51 | |
-How big is your herd in Rhydyfro? | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
-How big is your herd in Rhydyfro? - -About 50 cattle. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:54 | |
-About 50 cattle. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:55 | |
-Really? | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
-Why did you choose this breed? | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
-Why did you choose this breed? - -My wife likes them. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:00 | |
-My wife likes them. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:00 | |
-Not many men would please their wives -like that! | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
-It's the only way I please her! | 0:40:05 | 0:40:06 | |
-It's the only way I please her! - -Fair play to you! | 0:40:06 | 0:40:07 | |
-He's looking at them from the back. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:11 | |
-The back is more important -than the front... | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
-..but character shows at the front. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
-The horns and the head -must be right. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
-That's what counts most -at first glance. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
-They have such horns! | 0:40:25 | 0:40:25 | |
-They have such horns! - -The horns shouldn't turn down. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:26 | |
-The horns shouldn't turn down. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:27 | |
-Cows' horns should turn up -and bulls' horns down. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
-A heifer with downturned horns is no -good, even if she has a good body. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:38 | |
-He's looking across. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
-There she is - the same one. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:43 | |
-Number 13. Well done. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
-Well done. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
-Hang on - it's the white one. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
-Hang on - it's the white one. - -No, the red one. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:52 | |
-No, the red one. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:53 | |
-Another red one. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
-Fair play. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:56 | |
-The annual dinner -took place that night. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
-It was a very special evening. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
-Trophies were presented -to the winners... | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
-..not just the winners at the show -but the Best Herd and so on. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:20 | |
-Here's Jack Ramsay, who won the show -championship earlier that day... | 0:41:20 | 0:41:25 | |
-..receiving congratulations. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
-That cup of his was filled -to the brim following his win. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:32 | |
-Kelso Logan was another winner. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
-Kelso's family was well-known -in Friesian circles years ago... | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
-..with the Powis herd. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
-They live in the Stirling area. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
-Now, he keeps Highland cattle. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
-The whole family's keen on cattle -- here's Kelso's son. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:55 | |
-You can never start too young. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
-He has his own cattle -and he won an award. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
-I learned a lot -and enjoyed ever moment. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
-There were such characters. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
-Who knew what would happen next? | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
-This man had a good day -and an even better evening! | 0:42:11 | 0:42:16 | |
-An occasion isn't complete -without traditional entertainment... | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
-..and in Scotland -it takes the form of a ceilidh. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
-Everyone enjoyed themselves... | 0:42:48 | 0:42:49 | |
-..and everyone could dance. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
-What an experience - -learning something new! | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
-A BELL RINGS | 0:43:23 | 0:43:25 | |
-After months of hard work, preparing -the cattle and rearing calves... | 0:43:29 | 0:43:34 | |
-..and after the dancing, the singing -and the congratulations... | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
-..the most important day of all -had arrived - the day of the sale. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
-Money is the bottom line. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:46 | |
