0:00:46 > 0:00:49- ..and everything - seems to be thriving.
0:00:49 > 0:00:55- THE GEIRN FAMILY
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- One of the first things you notice - when you arrive at Geirn Farm...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- ..is the flock of Zwartbles sheep.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Olwen and Cain - are specialists in this breed...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- ..which originated - in the Netherlands.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- They produce lots of milk - and are very maternal.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- It's a very large flock.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- It's the biggest flock - in the country.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- We bought them for the children, - originally...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- ..so they'd recognise them - among the Border Leicesters.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- But the flock just grew.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Cain, you take them - to shows, don't you?
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- Yes - I think it's important - to promote the breed at local shows.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- We try to do as much as we can - during the summer...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- ..starting - with the Royal Welsh Show...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- ..followed by shows in Oswestry, - Eglwys-bach and Llanrwst.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- I noticed, when you called to the - sheep, you said, "Come on, Banana!"
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Is one of the sheep called Banana?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Is one of the sheep called Banana?- - Yes!
0:02:02 > 0:02:03- Do they all have names?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Do they all have names?- - Some of them.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- You treat them - the same as any other sheep.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- You have lots of sheep.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- These ones don't receive - any special treatment.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- No, not at all - - but they eat a lot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- They need good pasture.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- But your efforts are rewarded.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- They're brought in for lambing but - go outside immediately afterwards.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Sheep need their freedom.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Sheep need their freedom.- - Your ram has done well at shows.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Yes, he's in this field.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- He's never failed to win.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- He's two years old.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- As a lamb, he won six first prizes - in his classes...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- ..and six championships.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- My daughter won't let me sell him.
0:02:49 > 0:02:49- Won't you, Cain?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Won't you, Cain?- - I don't regret it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- I haven't been here long...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- ..but I notice that mother - and daughter are together...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- ..and father and son.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- I'm sure everyone comes to Mam - when they can't find what they want!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Yes - "Mam!" - - like every other family.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Where do you buy and sell sheep?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Can you sell these at any market?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- The most important sale - for this breed is in Carlisle.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- It's a premier sale.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- They'll only accept sheep - with the correct markings.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- There are also markets in Stirling, - Worcester and Welshpool...
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- ..and we try to take a few sheep - to each sale.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Are markings important?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- White blazes on their heads, - and so on.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Markings are important, - but a good sheep is a good sheep.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- If she has a black head, she's still - a good sheep and worth keeping.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- She can still provide good meat - for the butcher.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- They should have - a white stripe down the face...
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- ..white socks on the hind legs, - and a white tip on the tail.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08- Cennydd and Cain have a keen - interest in all types of animals.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- They include - Geirn's numerous ducks and geese.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- These are not pet animals.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- The geese and some of the ducks - are slaughtered for Christmas.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Has this lake always been there?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yes - ever since I can remember.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- It's very convenient, Cennydd.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Do you feed them, - and shut them in at night?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Yes, we don't want foxes - taking them.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- And you feed them?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- I saw you earlier with Beltex sheep.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- You have lots of different breeds - of sheep.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- The Beltex sheep are new, are they?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Yes, Cennydd and I - are interested in them.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- We'd been looking - at Blue Texels too...
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- ..but we decided - to go for Beltex sheep.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- We both like them, as a breed.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- We'll see how they come along.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Who went with you to buy them?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- Taid and I went - to Welshpool to buy four rams...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- ..and we went to Carlisle - to buy a further eight.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- There were two sheep that I liked, - so I bought them.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Then we went to Skipton - and bought another four sheep.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Did you go with them - to all these places?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- I went to Skipton...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- ..but Taid and Cennydd - were in charge in Welshpool.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Did they make good choices?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Everyone has their own opinion.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- What ram will you use?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- I like one of the eight rams - we bought in Carlisle.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Taid and Cennydd like one the - four rams they bought in Welshpool.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- We'll have to wait and see - who wins that debate.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- I'd like to be a fly on the wall!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- You're busy trimming, I see.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Is this for a special event?
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- We have a sale and show - on Saturday in Welshpool.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17- It's a society sale.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- We want them to look their best.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- With some breeds, - you don't trim them before a sale.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- It's amazing how trimming - can improve a sheep's appearance.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Yes, the change can be surprising.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- It takes 60 to 90 minutes - to trim each sheep.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- We aim to trim them three times.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- And you two - are responsible for trimming?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- That's right - the others are busy - with harvesting and machinery.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- When did you start - helping on the farm?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Years ago!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I started dabbling when Mam and Dad - were doing their work.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- I started by trimming tails, - and I'd make a complete mess of it!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- I'd just watch what they did as they - prepared for the Royal Welsh Show.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- I observed what they did.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- When you were younger...
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- ..you were a keen member - of the Young Farmers' Club.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Yes, and I learnt a lot from it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- I was a member for over ten years.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- It taught me a great deal.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- It's a really worthwhile - organisation.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Did it open many gates for you, - in many different areas?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Yes, and I made friends - in all parts of Wales.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- It's amazing.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44- Next year, you'll be president - of the Anglesey Young Farmers' Club.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I'm sure - you're looking forward to it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Young people should be nurtured.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- They should enjoy - the same advantages that we had...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- ..whether it's to do - with recitation, singing...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- ..showing stock, - or judging cattle, sheep or pigs.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- They need opportunities, - so they can decide for themselves.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Young people need to be nurtured.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- Three miles away, the family - has created a new sheepfold...
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- ..for managing another flock.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- It's good to see parents - and children working together.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- Richard Owen - takes pride in this cooperation.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- We do everything together.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Everyone knows their place - and what to do.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- You're bringing in 500 sheep - and everything's going smoothly.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- You have excellent facilities here.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It's the first thing we did - after buying the land.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- It makes the work a pleasure.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- It makes things easier.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54- With both cattle and sheep.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- With both cattle and sheep.- - We haven't used it yet with cattle.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- We've been busy - improving the hedges and fences.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- There'll be cattle here in spring.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- These sheep - are two or three years old.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08- Almost 500 of them.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- How many rams are there?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- A dozen.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- We've kept them all together.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Good luck with lambing.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- There's plenty of raddle on them.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- We took the rams away two weeks ago.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- As you can see, - most of the ewes have mated.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- We use teaser rams so that most - of the ewes lamb at the same time.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Today, you're marking the sheep.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Did you put harnesses on the rams?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- We put raddle mixed with grease - on the rams' chests.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I apply the mixture - with a wooden spoon.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- I'm not keen on harnesses or straps.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49- They can cause sores.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- This method is better.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- I doubt if you have to use - the wooden spoon very often.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Things seem to work out well.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- You've spent a lot of money - on fencing.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yes, though it wasn't too bad, - previously.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- We've cut the hedges back.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- We filled in the ditch - that ran along here...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- ..cut the hedge back - and erected a new fence.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- When did you buy these fields?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- We bought them two years ago, - to next October.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- You have a system in place.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- You've improved the boundaries and - built pens for managing the stock.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- These things - should make your work easier.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- We intend to reseed some of these - fields next spring, in May.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- We'll take it from there.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- The family also has another farm, - Pencraigwen, to work.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- It's located near Llannerch-y-medd.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- This is the home - of another Richard and his wife...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- ..Richard's parents and Cennydd - and Cain's grandparents.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08- Well, Richard.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- This is one of the latest - developments for managing land.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- It's quite a good machine.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- It's good for loosening the soil, - and easy to use.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- It gets rid of surface water.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- It must be nice for you, - as a grandfather...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- ..to teach your grandchild.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- It isn't very difficult.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- On the tractor, - he's like a fish in water.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I'd say both of them - are like fish in water!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Yes - both have a keen interest.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- I'm sure you enjoy - spending time in their company.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Yes, I do.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- I'm fortunate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Four generations of farmers, - if we include your father.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Yes, including my father.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Three of you are called Richard.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Four of us - four Richards.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Is this the family's original home?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- No, that's Geirn - I bought - this farm after I got married.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- It's such a pleasure, to do the work - you've been doing all your life.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15- Yes, it's a great pleasure.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- You and your son - are interested in the same things.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- To a certain degree.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Your sheep and your cattle - are a credit to you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- I have much less work to do, now.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- I do what I can.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- It helps with the pension.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Yes!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- You can live on less - when you're older.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39- Much less.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Your money goes further.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I enjoy watching the children grow.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- I enjoy watching the children grow.- - I'm sure.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- You're a lucky man.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Sheep we've bought - over the past three weeks.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Cennydd has chosen well, - he's bought similar types.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- They're very uniform - almost - as if they're from the same flock.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- That's right.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Dad has bought some, so have I, - and so has Cennydd.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- As you can see, they match, - they're the same type.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- You have to know your type.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- There are four Beltex rams - that are eager to join the flock.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- I can see - that you've included a few teasers.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Is 'nychwyr' - the correct Welsh word for teasers?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- They've been in for a fortnight.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- These rams will be taken out - to join the flock on 1 October.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Spring comes earlier in Geirn - than it does in Pencraigwen.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- The family's system - of lambing in January...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- ..means that heifers and calves - spend winter outside.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Here's a herd of heifers - to delight the eye.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37- Yes, they're very nice.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Most of them were bred - from our own cows.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Their sires are British Blue.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45- I've also bought a few.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- It's what you want - for breeding calves.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Blue and Lim are ideal - for cross-breeding.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- That's what most of these are.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57- That's right.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Blue cows are useful, - they produce a good shape.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- The bull can't do everything.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- For me, shape is important.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- But black cows are less trouble - when it comes to calving.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Yes, calving is easier with Lims - - the black cows.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- There's more room inside them, - compared with Blue cows.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- That's the main difference - between Blues, and black Lims.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- I can go to bed - and leave a black cow to calve.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- I can't do that with the Blues.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- You have to stay with them - and pay attention.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- These fields are expansive.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Large fields are common in Anglesey.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Yes, the land here in Anglesey - can support a lot of stock.
