0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Do they castrate - the inferior ones?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- They slaughter them all - other than the best males.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- They know the boys - are coming to get them.
0:13:04 > 0:13:04- They can even hear you breathe.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- They can even hear you breathe.- - They see everything.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12- When they're caught, they turn - and attack with their forelegs.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- That's what they do.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- They turn on people and attack.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19- They're lethal.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- They need separating - into groups of two or three...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- ..because no-one could handle - a mob or a large herd.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- There are 4,500 deer on this farm.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- I've never seen anything like it.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- ..for fat lambs and for the deer.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- Long rivers are a blessing, - because this is a very dry country.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- These lowlands have to be irrigated.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- He bought the station.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Why did he choose deer?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- You either like them - or you hate them.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- I like them.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- And I enjoy the challenge - of knocking this place into shape.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- It was run-down - when we took it over.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- It needed another kick-start.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- Your wife, Jan, is from - the same part of Wales as you.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- You have three children.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- You have three children.- - Elinor's the oldest - 18.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08- They went to Ysgol y Bannau - in Brecon...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- ..but they're lost now - to the Kiwi accent.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12- You really enjoy it here.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- That's why people - started farming deer.
