0:19:47 > 0:19:49- We learnt some at school.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Are you busy?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Yes, I'm kept going.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- Years ago, the AI man would arrive - at the farm, do the job and go.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- It's more complicated than that, - these days.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Yes, I do RMS, which stands - for reproductive management system.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09- Every day, we visit this farm - and another five farms.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- We mark the cows' backs - with orange chalk, as you can see.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- This is used to denote cows that are - being mounted by other cows...
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- ..which is an indication - that the cow may be in heat.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- I'll let you finish your work.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- We'll talk about the choir later.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- # He wrapped his arms - around a big black cow
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- # It's all so dark everywhere #
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- This is what makes the group - so successful, I believe.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Sometimes, I forget the words, - so I substitute a 'la-la-la'...
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- ..and the audience - accepts this naturally.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- It's just a bit of fun.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Party, then.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- I'd promoted you to a choir!
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- It's not a choir, - it has elements of the noson lawen.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- For me, it's because my father had - been a member of Bois y Frenni...

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- ..because the language - was so different.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Today, television - has brought us together.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- In those days, there were words - that I couldn't understand.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Tears flowed down - and fell on the toes of his shoes!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- He wept real tears, - even though he was acting!
