0:00:16 > 0:00:22- When you mention Tynygraig farm - in Tal-y-bont, Ceredigion...
0:00:23 > 0:00:27- ..you think of Welsh sheep - and Welsh Black cattle.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- Now, there's a new addition - to that list.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36- The son, Dewi, is a dab hand - in the world of sheepdog trials.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Alongside the sheep and cattle...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- ..he's a supporter of Welsh culture - and a young man to boot.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Born and raised on a sheep farm...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- ..it's no wonder - that handling dogs...
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- ..has been in Dewi's blood - since he was a child.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Not many 25-year-old farmers have - mastered the art of shepherding...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- ..as well as Dewi Tynygraig.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- He's one of the best sheepdog - breeders and trainers in Wales.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- At this year's Royal Welsh Show, - he won the Dr Emrys Evans Award...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- ..with the theme - of shepherding skills.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50- Also farming here are Dewi's - parents, Enoch and Marged...
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- ..and his grandfather, Gwilym.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- In his late eighties, - he's still working every day.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Dewi has clearly followed - in his grandfather's footsteps.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- He's a bit of a character himself.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Where do you get the time - to train these dogs?
0:02:12 > 0:02:13- It does take time.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- I try to steal time - in the evenings.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- Moss sires dogs that are easy - to teach, which is a great help.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- You see the dogs improving - every evening they're out.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Selling dogs isn't a problem.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- They leave here like hot cakes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- They leave here like hot cakes.- - I'm not sure about that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- I've had some good ones recently.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- We'll see how it goes - at the next sales.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- I train them in the evenings.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Having dogs that are easy to teach - is half the battle.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Dogs that are willing to learn.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- The dogs have to please, or they - won't come back to buy again.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52- That's crucial.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- I like to give the dogs - a lot of farm work.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- When they leave me, - they've done a bit of farm work.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- That's what buyers want - - a dog to work at home.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- The farm lends itself to that.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- You have plenty of sheep - with which to work...
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- ..and lots of terrain - that dogs find difficult.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14- Exactly.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Exactly.- - That's very helpful.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- My daily life involves sheep.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I tend to take a young dog...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- ..instead of an experienced one - every time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Then the young dogs - learn quite quickly.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- As well as training sheepdogs, - Dewi has many other talents.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- One of them is performing on stage.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Who could he be impersonating here?
0:03:44 > 0:03:45- The little tinker!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Goodness me, this is a lovely place.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- How are you all?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- There's work to do on the belly.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Dewi has been raised to respect - the finer points of farming.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Breeding cattle and sheep, - and running sheepdogs.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- His talents also include shearing.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- That one didn't take long, Dewi.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- That one didn't take long, Dewi.- - No. Some are more still than others.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- You're more used to Welsh lambs - than cross-breeds.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Yes, most of our lambs at home - are Welsh lambs.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- When did you start shearing?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- I started here at home - when I was about 15 years old.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Just learning with my father...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- ..then I went to New Zealand - when I was 19.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39- What was that like?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- What was that like?- - It was a good experience.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- You learn a lot - when you go to New Zealand.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- All you do every day is shear.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48- I learnt a lot there.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Since then, I shear at home every - summer, and go round other farms.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- What are the main competitions - that you've won so far?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I wouldn't say I've won a lot...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- ..but I like to go around - the lamb shows in summer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06- The Welsh lamb shows.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Cneifio Cothi, Lampeter, - the Royal Welsh Show and Corwen.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- They're the main ones.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- I've got to four finals out of - the last five Royal Welsh Shows.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- Have you?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I love competing, but it's hard - to find time for everything.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Do the nerves kick in with an - audience, or if a sheep struggles?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- That used to happen, - but you get used to it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- It's the same with the dogs.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Everyone's nervous at first, - but it's OK once you get used to it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- You get these honours.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Tal-y-bont specializes - in speed shearing...
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- ..on the evening of the show.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- It's a successful night and has gone - from strength to strength.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- We started five years ago - with one stand, one machine.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- There were three machines this year.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- There were three machines this year.- - You did well that night.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02- Yes, good enough.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- I got the second-fastest time - of the night at Tal-y-bont.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Nineteen seconds.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- To shear...
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- To shear...- - One lamb, yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- It just happened to stay still.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- That's where luck comes in to it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- That's where luck comes in to it.- - Was it 19 seconds or 19 minutes?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20- Maybe!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I'd take 19 days!
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- For about 30 days every year, - Dewi and his dogs...
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- ..head to the Forestry Commission's - uplands near Nant y Moch.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47- That's where many stray sheep - cause damage to young trees.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- The task facing Dewi is to gather - as many as he can of those sheep...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- ..on what is very tough terrain.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- We've got it now, Jones.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- We've got it now, Jones.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- You wouldn't think - they're bad sheep...
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- ..but once they're in those trees, - they'll go everywhere.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- They're alright here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17- Where did they go?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- There they are.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- There they are.- - As you said, there they are.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- Will you get those back?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Will you get those back?- - I doubt it, but I don't mind.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- There's quite a gang here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Get these into the trailer - and we'll be fine.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Judging by their fleece, - they've been here a while.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- Yes, two or three years.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Those lambs look well.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- There's lots of food in the forest.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- How will we load these?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- How will we load these?- - I'll try two dogs either side.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- If we got them here, - they wouldn't get up there.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- We'll try that then, Dai.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- We'll try that then, Dai.- - I can watch this side.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- I'll fetch the trailer.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- I think we've got it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03- I think we've got it.- - Hopefully, Dai.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04- We'll soon see.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- Is there hope, Dai?
0:09:08 > 0:09:09- I think there is now.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- We'll try them slowly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- They're standing still now.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- But these sheep don't understand - the concept of slowly.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Before we could turn round, - they'd got away again...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- ..despite the efforts - of the two wonderful dogs.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- That black-faced ewe is a cuckoo!
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- Stay there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Stay. That'll do, Moss.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- Come by, Moss.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Go back, Seren. Stay there.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41- Come by, Moss.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Come by, Moss.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- Stay there.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- Stay there!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51- Away, Moss.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Settle down. Moss, settle down.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Off goes Dewi after the errant ewes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- This time, he's successful.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05- Come by, come by, come by!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- They're terrible sheep.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- Good grief.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- I'm so pumped up, - I can't find the switches!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Moss was spent there.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- The Welsh bitch led the way.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44- Good boys!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- These forest sheep are wilful.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- They know where to escape.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- Hell's bells, they got away quickly.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Hell's bells, they got away quickly.- - With their tongues out.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- I thought we were finished.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I thought that Moss was finished - in the stream.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- It's a tough job.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- It's a tough job.- - But worth it when you catch some.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- Come by, come by.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07- That's an awful ewe.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- That's an awful ewe.- - I thought it might be a ram!
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- Stand. Stay there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Stand.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I'm tired now, Dai. Tired out.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- I can well believe it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- You have good dogs.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- They're a good pair.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- Stay there.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Drive on, Moss.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43- We've got them.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Stand.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- Good job.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I'll tell you one thing.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- At the international trials - last week...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- ..I don't know - how many of the dogs there...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- ..would have brought these - down from the top to here.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Fair play, they're a good pair.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- You're not bad either.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- That's a nice feeling.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- There's nowhere near that sells tea.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- No, we'll go home. I'm thirsty too.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29- One of the heroes of Dewi Jenkins, - Tynygraig, Tal-y-bont...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- ..is his grandfather, - Gwilym Jenkins.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Generations of the family - have farmed here...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- ..and succession is important.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- There's a constant need - for fence posts...
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- ..to reinforce boundaries - on any upland farm.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- Gwilym still saws his own posts - as he has done all his life.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- That's better, Gwilym!
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- That's better, Gwilym!- - Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Judging by these piles, - nothing goes to waste here.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- No, no waste.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- The offcuts go on the fire - and the peelings go under the cows.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- These trees were planted - by you and your father.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- My father planted them - after the war.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- If you didn't plant trees, - the government would take the land.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- You're still here to tell the story.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Do you mind telling us - how old you are?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- I was born in 1928, - so you do the sum.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- And you move like a youngster.- - I feel like a youngster.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- How long have you been making posts?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11- You must have bought a few.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- You must have bought a few.- - I've never bought one.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- And my sons won't need to buy - any fencing posts either.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- My father planted 25 acres of trees.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- They're 60 years old - and they're all heartwood.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- I had noticed that myself.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- You don't need to preserve them.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Nothing will seep into it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- And your grandson - is following in your footsteps.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- He's been coming to the shed - to be educated!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Dewi has started making them too.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- You have to be careful - with this old saw.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47- Very careful.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48- Yes, you're right.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- It's a big year for you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Dewi has had - an extremely successful year.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- But you're president - of the Welsh Black Cattle Society.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- You must feel that's a great honour.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- You must feel that's a great honour.- - It is an honour, yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- But I worried about it a lot.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- But I worried about it a lot.- - You don't need to worry.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- But yes, it is an honour.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I've always kept Welsh Black cattle.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- I've raised a family very easily - with the black cow.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Yes, four children, - and now the grandchildren.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Eleven grandchildren.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27- Goodness me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- That's how a man's wealth is valued.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31- That's how a man's wealth is valued.- - You're right.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- You're right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- You make a man feel envious - to be honest.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- You only had the one!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I lost the recipe!
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- The Tynygraig family - have been renowned for many years...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- ..for the high standard - of their sheep and lambs.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Today, Moss the faithful sheepdog...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- ..helps to separate the rams.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- Moss, Moss, Moss, Moss!
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- At this time, when rams are sold...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- ..you lose a lot of sleep.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- We go around farms now - a week or two before a sale...
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- ..to see the rams - and to select what's available.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Many of the rams have been selected - before the sale nowadays.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- It's happened with rams - in Scotland for years.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- They called it Tup Sunday, - the Sunday before the big sales.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- They used to go around...
0:16:33 > 0:16:38- ..and they were given something - medicinal to help them on their way.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- That's why the prices in Scotland - were so high!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- But these are making - good prices now as well.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- It's a difficult breed - to get everything correct.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- When you do, they're valuable.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- These are good ones, I must say.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- You never know what you've got - until you go to a sale and compare.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I see the dog - keeping them together there.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- He's been a good dog for you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Yes, - he's eight and a half years old.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- He'll be nine in March.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- And you're trying to get - a pup of his to take his place.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Yes, I'll need something soon.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24- Today, Dewi's father, Enoch Jenkins, - needs a helping hand...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- ..to load the tack lambs.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Here, as on every farm, - the work is never-ending.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- They loaded easily.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49- Mountain sheep.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- So they're off to Pembrokeshire.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51- So they're off to Pembrokeshire.- - Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52- Until when, Enoch?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54- The beginning of April.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57- That'll soon come.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- We hope they get some pasture - to grow a little.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- They're all off to the same place, - are they?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Yes, we're fortunate.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- That's good.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It's warmer - in Pembrokeshire than here.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- They don't get much frost there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- You'll go down to see them - at least once over the winter.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Yes, I'll go down to see them - a few times, probably.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- The family is also renowned - for keeping Welsh Black cattle.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Tynygraig is home to a fine herd.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39- Do you calve all year round?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- No, three quarters in spring - and the rest in the autumn.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- And you buy a bull and use it, - rather than AI or anything?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- AI very rarely, - but we usually buy a bull.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- You're doing a good job.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- They all look very similar.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- They make breeding easier.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- I'm sure they haven't been - in this field long.
0:19:03 > 0:19:03- They go through grass at this time.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- They go through grass at this time.- - More this year than for many years.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- These will have to come in first, - as they're churning up the field.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- A big gang makes a mess.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- You have to bring them in when - reseeding costs over 100 an acre.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- There's another shower coming.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23- There's another shower coming.- - Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Someone passed earlier - and said it'd be dry for an hour.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28- He was wrong!
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- The rest of the Welsh Blacks - are up on higher ground...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- ..looking out over the sea.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Up here, Dewi relies on good dogs - to help control the cattle.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- These dogs are great with cattle.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- The Welsh dogs - are hard to beat at this job.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- That little bitch - is in amongst them, no messing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Once cows know - they can boss a dog...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- ..they'll go - to the end of the field.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- There was no need for a stick.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- They came down naturally.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- But a dog has to show who's boss.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- But a dog has to show who's boss.- - Yes, they must get into their faces.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- You don't often see dogs - work like that these days.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- The cows are sensible enough - to let themselves be driven.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Once they're used - to being controlled by dogs...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- ..that's how they're handled.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- It's better than someone - on a bike or in a Land Rover...
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- ..cajoling them and driving them.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- It's them and the dogs.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- The black dog's a young one, - a year and a half.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55- He takes after his mother.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- He takes after his mother.- - The other one is his mother?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58- Yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Running dogs - is one of your big passions.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08- Dogs are very close to your heart.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09- Dogs are very close to your heart.- - Yes.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- You need good working dogs, - first and foremost.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- You saw that in the forestry.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- When you get good dogs, - you respect them...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- ..then you gain their respect.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- That respect doesn't come easily.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29- It has to be earned, and that - has always been ingrained in Dewi.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- The YFC has also been - an important part of his life.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- He won the Ceredigion YFC - best actor award...
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- ..and played a leading role in the - half hour of entertainment contest.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Well, how are you tonight?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- It's me, Dai, here.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- I hope you're all well.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Yes, it's another Sunday - with Ar Eich Cais.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- It's got cold, my friends.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- My club, Tal-y-bont, was lucky - to win nationally this year.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- I owe a big debt to the YFC...
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- ..for the wide range - of opportunities I've been given.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- The sheepdog trials, - the public speaking...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- ..the acting and the stock judging.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It gave me confidence - to compete and to speak publicly.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22- And eisteddfodau.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- That's where I first sang.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- That's where I first sang.- - And you won the Blue Riband.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- Yes, the Blue Riband.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Not that I make a fuss about that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Would you like to see it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- Yes, please!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- I wear it everywhere, - on Cefn Gwlad and in the bath!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- The way of life at Tynygraig, - with the cattle, sheep and dogs...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- ..has inspired Dewi over the years.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- One thing is certain.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- The future of agriculture is secure - in the hands of these young farmers.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- It's a thrill - to be in their company.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Hooray!
