0:00:20 > 0:00:21- What a beautiful place!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- I'm in Montgomeryshire, - and on my way to Cwm Nant yr Eira.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- Currently, I'm about 1,400 feet - above sea level.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- Behind me are some notable - Welsh strongholds...
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- ..Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy...
0:00:39 > 0:00:40- ..Dyffryn Banw...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- ..and the Berwyn Mountains.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- The scenery couldn't be lovelier.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- I'm visiting - an excellent grassland farm...
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- ..the home of Tom and Ann Tudor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:57- They've been joined on the farm - by their son, Richard.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- They've won a great number - of prizes for their grassland.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08- From the corner of my eye, I can see - some very fine cattle and sheep.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- September 2016
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Llysun Farm produces quality sheep - and beef cattle...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- ..and there is a strong emphasis - on the use of grass.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- On the farm's uplands, - above the village of Llanerfyl...
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- ..Richard Tudor is preparing the - flock of white-headed mule sheep...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- ..for winter.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- We're 1,400 feet above sea level.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- The sheep can cope well.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- We've improved the pasture, - so they live on grass.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- They're doing well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- We also like Texel crosses.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- They're tougher - and easier to keep than mules.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- As you said, - we're 1,400 feet above sea level.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- That's quite high, - and it gets very cold in winter.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- But you've worked - to improve the hillsides.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- You're prominent figures - in grassland management.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- These hills have responded well - to your improvements.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- You've done a good job.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- This mountain, for example - - it's quite sheltered.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- It's a fairly dry mountain, - fortunately.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- It's amazing, when - you begin improving land...
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- ..you find that the grass - grows extremely well...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- ..especially in summer.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- The pasture can be better up here - than in places lower down.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- This grassland means so much.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Feeding concentrates to this number - of sheep would be expensive.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Yes, that's what lies - behind our ethos.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- It's something my father - passed on to me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I try to make the most of grassland.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- We don't feed our animals heavily.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- We fatten our lambs on grass...
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- ..and use concentrates as sparingly - as possible during lambing.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- We aim to produce good silage, - and let the grass do everything.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- But it can be difficult.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- This mountain - is easy to manage in summer...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- ..but the winters are long.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- The growing period for grass...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- ..is six or eight weeks longer, - back home in Llysun.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- This isn't just a sheep farm.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Richard is the winner...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- ..of this year's Farmers Weekly - Beef Farmer of the Year award.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- The cattle are outstanding.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- After calving, - when calves have been tagged...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- ..they're brought up here, where - they remain until early November.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Everything depends on the season.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- You can fill your lungs - with fresh air.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- It feels good.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- The cattle make a pretty picture.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- They like being on the mountain.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14- They like being on the mountain.- - It's a healthy place.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- What breeds are they?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- I can see that they're cross-bred.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- There's a strong strain of Salers, - crossed with Simmental.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31- There's a strong strain of Salers, - because that type of cow suits us.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- The mothers are Salers...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- ..and we have a Charolais bull.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- The cows couldn't look any better.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Any bigger, and they'd be too fat.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- We focus on breeding cows - that can survive on grass...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- ..and thrive - in this type of habitat.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- The aim is to have them - in good condition...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- ..when we bring them - inside in early winter.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- These views are as good - as a bag of sugar beet!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- There's plenty of fresh air.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- It's easy to keep them healthy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- I don't know if it's because - of the views, but they're happy.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- The cows contribute manure - to the soil, too.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- If you gathered all that muck - in a wheelbarrow...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- ..you'd have lots of manure!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Yes, and it gets spread out - over the mountains...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- ..which improves the soil.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- As I said earlier, there are - no other cattle on the mountain...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- ..so there's less risk - of any diseases.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- You don't have any creep feeders - for the calves.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- No, they don't have creep feeders.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- We start feeding them - when they're inside for winter.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Most of the calves are sold - when they're 10 months old...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- ..at the market in Welshpool.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- Ten months old?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- Ten months old?- - Yes, most of them.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Your costs must be quite low.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- That's our aim.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- The quality of the grass - at Llysun Farm is evident.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Richard has travelled the world...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- ..in order to study grassland - in other countries.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- But his father, Tom Tudor, - is king of grassland.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- At this year's Royal Welsh Show...
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- ..Tom received the Sir Bryner Jones - Award, for grassland management.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- When we came over the hill, Tom...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- ..you told me, "This - is Montgomeryshire at its best."
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Your roots are in this area, - are they?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- You're not an incomer.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- My roots go very deep - in Cwm Nant yr Eira, of course.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- I'm glad I live in Montgomeryshire.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It's a wonderful county.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- From here, - we can see it at its best.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Look at all those fields, - hedgerows and trees.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- It's all natural - nothing much - has changed during my lifetime.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- If anything, there are more trees - than ever before.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- This is a very productive county.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- We have fine valleys, - like Cwm Nant yr Eira.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- This is a good example - of the valleys in this county.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- You have your son, Richard, - and you run the farm together.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- It's important, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Yes, very important.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- We're so glad that he's involved, - that he wants to be a farmer...
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- ..and to do a good job.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Keeping animals on these mountains - is important.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- I hope we can carry on doing so.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- It is possible to work the land - and to farm on these mountains.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Our cattle are important.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- We know that there are problems, - but we'll overcome them.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- During my lifetime, we've seen - TB, foot and mouth epidemics...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- ..all kinds of things.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- But we're still carrying on.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- People born and raised - in such an area...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- ..are the only ones - experienced enough to do this.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- It has to be in your blood.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- It has to be in your blood.- - Yes, hallelujah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Fortunately, it's been a good year - on the mountain.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- The Tudor family's expertise - in grassland improvement...
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- ..in these uplands, is evident.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- This used to be covered in bracken.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- All of it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Now, just look at all this food - that's available for animals.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- We bought this land in 2003 and - the bracken grew above your head.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- But we worked on it.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- We ploughed the ground - and re-seeded.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- It's come along excellently.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- The trick now, on all these - mountains, is to maintain the land.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Cattle are a vital part of that.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Cattle are a vital part of that.- - Lime must be crucial too.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Yes, lime and cattle manure.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Both of these - enrich and feed the soil.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- It's early September...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- ..and Montgomeryshire - still looks its best.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- This morning, - we're down in the valley.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Des Owen, a key figure at Llysun - Farm, is out on his tractor...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- ..working to improve the grassland.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- How are things?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- How are things?- - Are you alright, Dai?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Quite well, thanks.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- You're spreading muck.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Getting rid of some of the water.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- We have to dispose of it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Are you in charge of tractor work?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Sometimes.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Most of the time, really.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- When I'm here.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53- Are you semi-retired?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- No.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58- They won't let me go!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- How long have you worked here?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04- Forty-seven.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Forty-seven.- - Really?!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Not since 1947 - for 47 years!
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Nice to meet you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12- Stick with it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14- Can I carry on?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Wait until I'm out of the way first!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Nice to see you, ta-ra!
0:10:33 > 0:10:33- .

0:11:31 > 0:11:35- She had been working - as a locum vet for a year.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- She had the idea - of renovating the building...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- ..and she took care of everything.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- It works well.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- People like staying here.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- That's the important thing, for us.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Yes, and I may go to university too.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- After that, I'd like travel - before coming back home.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- We don't have many children - at the moment.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- It's a nice school, beside the road.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Yes, it's a nice school, - and there's plenty of space.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Did you grow up in this area?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I'm from Newtown, which isn't far.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Do you go there to do your shopping?

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- No, I go to the secondary school - in Llanfair.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- This is a nice place.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I must say, - you're living in paradise!
0:16:11 > 0:16:12- Yes, it's great.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- We sit here often, - looking out over the landscape.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- It's beautiful.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Richard knows the benefits of his - background in agriculture...
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- ..and his father's vast experience - over the years...
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- ..in improving the farm's grassland.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- This has grown well.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- It's early morning - and there's lots of dew.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- We sowed this in spring, - with the aid of Farming Connect.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- It's an annual variety of grass.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- We've also used - an American clover variety.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- I visited America last year, and - they had a new variety of clover...
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- ..fixation clover, which we're - trialling, to see how it grows.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Will you bring cattle in here?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Will you bring cattle in here?- - Yes, cattle.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Mind the wire!
0:17:17 > 0:17:18- Will you give it a shake?!
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Will you give it a shake?!- - No, I'll keep my distance!
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- This grass is good for cattle - - it's annual ryegrass.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27- It's powerful stuff...
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- ..so I've brought some lambs in to - graze it before I bring cattle in.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Watching Richard and Des - repairing one of the machines...
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- ..it's evident that there's plenty - of young blood on the farm.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- Sion Lewis and Tomos Howells - are dosing yearling ewes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Are these mules, bred - from your own sheep?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- No, they're Aberfields.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- No, they're Aberfields.- - These are Aberfields?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- That's right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- They were bought in - about three weeks ago.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14- They're nice lambs.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- I've never seen this breed before.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Do you have older Aberfields?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- How long have you been keeping them?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- We've been keeping Aberfields - for three years.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- We breed from them with - a Texel ram - it seems to work well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- There's something of the Welsh - Mountain breed in Aberfields.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- They're quite tough.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Cuppa, Dai?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- Thank you - no sugar!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Thank you - no sugar!- - You might need it!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- In a fancy mug too!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Iechyd da!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- That's our chapel of rest.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It's where we have a cuppa - every morning.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I don't know why it's called that.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- I don't think - anyone's died in there!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Not after drinking coffee, - hopefully!
0:19:17 > 0:19:18- We'll give it a try!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- That's a nice Welsh bitch.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22- That's Calon.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- That's Calon.- - Is that her name, Calon?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- She's usually in the chapel of rest, - stealing biscuits.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- She knows when it's time for tea!
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- A class of Year 10 pupils - from Ysgol Uwchradd Caereinion...
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- ..visits the farm occasionally as - part of their agriculture course.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- They select lambs for market, guided - by their teacher, Gareth Griffiths.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- If anyone catches hold of you - in an awkward way...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- ..their flesh is the same as yours, - it does bruise.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- So if you go alongside, like this, - just go like that...
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- ..and then, you've got - perfect control of the lamb.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Shall we get a few in...
0:20:10 > 0:20:11- ..to start?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- This practical opportunity - to handle sheep...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- ..is a valuable one...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- ..especially for those - who don't live on farms.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- The pupils choose a lamb.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- They make a note of the number - on the ear tag.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Then, they follow that lamb...
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- ..all the way through to - Randall Parker Foods in Llanidloes.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- They record the lamb's live weight.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- The result comes back - from the abattoir...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- ..and that records - the carcass weight.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- In the classroom, they work out - the difference in percentage...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- ..between live weight - and carcass weight.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- So there's some mathematics - involved.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- We like to welcome them.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- They come for a few hours in the - afternoon at this time of year.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Lambs are sent away, - and the pupils play a part.
0:21:12 > 0:21:12- I like to welcome them.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- I like to welcome them.- - Forty point four.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I remember Tomos and Sion - coming here as part of their course.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- It's good to watch them - grow and develop.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- I hope it turns out - to be about 40 kilos.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- It looks nice.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33- Thirty-six kilos.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- What?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Forty!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- More for his pocket!
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- I was hoping it would be 43 or 44, - but there we go.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- "The gentleness of Maldwyn" - is well-known.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Llysun Farm - is an excellent example of this.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- As we watch all the activity - on the farm today...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- ..Tom Tudor can be satisfied...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- ..that his family - has strived to do its best...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- ..with its grassland and stock...
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- ..over the years, - in good times and difficult times.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- There are always ups and downs - in agriculture.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- I remember, back in the '60s...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- ..we lost 200 lambs - to foot and mouth disease...
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- ..in an outbreak - that started near Oswestry.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Then, we had Chernobyl...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- ..and BSE, and a further - foot and mouth outbreak.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34- There are ups and downs.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Young people face uncertainty - at the moment.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- With any luck, it'll be temporary.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- I hope our politicians will be able - to strike a good deal...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- ..where the Common Market - is concerned.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- This is an extremely important - market for lamb...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- ..and we worked hard over the years - to create it.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- We must do all we can - to maintain it...
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- ..without too many tariffs, - hopefully.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05- Tom Tudor, what a man!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Not at all, Dai!
