-In this series of Cwmni...

0:00:340:00:36

-..we look behind the scenes

-at Welsh companies.

0:00:360:00:39

-From printing to manufacturing,

-from tourism to food and drink.

0:00:400:00:44

-Each business is different

-but one thing is certain...

0:00:450:00:50

-..the Welsh language

-is important to them all.

0:00:510:00:54

-This week, we focus on Rhydydelyn

-cheese company, based on Anglesey...

0:01:020:01:07

-..and Canna Deli, in Cardiff.

0:01:080:01:10

-Two tasty companies

-run by one enterprising family.

0:01:100:01:14

-The milking herd at Rhydydelyn

-dates back to 1938.

0:01:160:01:20

-It includes

-Friesian, Holstein and Jersey cows.

0:01:200:01:25

-The fresh milk produced by them

-is turned into cheese.

0:01:260:01:29

-It's a family business.

0:01:310:01:33

-Maldwyn and his son, Alun,

-do the milking.

0:01:340:01:37

-Menai, Alun's wife,

-makes the cheese.

0:01:370:01:39

-Elin, their daughter,

-runs the deli.

0:01:400:01:42

-Her siblings, Sioned and Huw,

-also help out occasionally.

0:01:440:01:48

-Welsh is the language

-of their home and businesses.

0:01:490:01:53

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

0:01:570:02:01

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

0:02:020:02:04

-I own Canna Deli.

0:02:200:02:22

-We opened a delicatessen

-and coffee shop...

0:02:220:02:26

-..in Pontcanna, Cardiff

-in late July, 2015.

0:02:260:02:29

-I decided to open a deli...

0:02:290:02:32

-..because I'm a farmer's daughter

-from Anglesey.

0:02:330:02:36

-It's a dairy farm

-and we produce cheese on the farm.

0:02:370:02:41

-I went around

-a lot of farmers' markets...

0:02:410:02:44

-..then we decided

-we needed an outlet...

0:02:440:02:47

-..where we could sell cheese

-directly to the public.

0:02:470:02:51

-Since we opened last July,

-we've been really busy.

0:02:520:02:56

-We've received fantastic support

-from local people...

0:02:560:03:00

-..and also from people

-who've travelled far to be here.

0:03:000:03:04

-Every weekend,

-someone from Anglesey comes here.

0:03:040:03:08

-It's really lovely to see them.

0:03:080:03:10

-Local people are great too.

0:03:100:03:12

-A lot of Welsh speakers come here.

0:03:130:03:15

-It's a Welsh-speaking area,

-so people like to speak Welsh here.

0:03:160:03:21

-We also welcome

-a lot of Welsh learners.

0:03:210:03:24

-They like to hear Welsh

-being used in the workplace.

0:03:240:03:28

-I'm delighted

-to be living in Cardiff.

0:03:280:03:31

-I lived on Anglesey for years but

-it's nice to be in the capital city.

0:03:310:03:37

-I enjoy talking to customers all day

-and I like seeing familiar faces.

0:03:370:03:42

-It's a tribute to the deli that

-people come back time after time.

0:03:430:03:47

-I enjoy being my own boss.

0:03:480:03:49

-It's hard work

-and I don't get any holiday...

0:03:500:03:53

-..but I really enjoy it.

0:03:530:03:55

-I see it as a daily challenge.

0:03:560:03:58

-We were familiar with most of our

-suppliers before we opened the deli.

0:04:000:04:05

-The same companies

-have stalls at the Royal Welsh...

0:04:050:04:09

-..the Spring Festival

-and Anglesey Show.

0:04:100:04:14

-That said, I'm always

-looking for new suppliers.

0:04:140:04:17

-The best way to find them is to

-go to farmers' markets and shows...

0:04:180:04:22

-..especially the Royal Welsh.

0:04:220:04:25

-There are also several

-excellent food festivals in Wales.

0:04:260:04:30

-I always find something

-that's new to me at those festivals.

0:04:300:04:35

-All my employees are fluent

-Welsh and English speakers.

0:04:360:04:39

-We offer a bilingual service

-at Canna Deli.

0:04:400:04:43

-The staff speak Welsh together

-all day.

0:04:440:04:46

-A lot of our customers

-speak Welsh...

0:04:470:04:49

-..and it's great to be able to

-chat in Welsh at the deli.

0:04:490:04:53

-We always

-greet our customers in Welsh...

0:04:560:04:59

-..but we're more than happy

-to speak English or Welsh to them.

0:05:000:05:05

-Outside the deli,

-I work a lot with Welsh producers...

0:05:060:05:12

-..especially Blas Ar Fwyd, who

-deliver produce to me once a week.

0:05:130:05:18

-I order from them in Welsh,

-which is great.

0:05:180:05:21

-Halen Mon.

0:05:240:05:25

-Chilli And Garlic Sea Salt.

0:05:260:05:28

-One chilli.

0:05:300:05:32

-Yes - one chilli.

0:05:360:05:37

-Four organic.

0:05:390:05:41

-Four vanilla.

0:05:440:05:46

-Two ceramic.

0:05:490:05:51

-Three flours too.

0:05:530:05:54

-Yes. There we are.

0:05:550:05:56

-Yes. There we are.

-

-Thank you very much.

0:05:560:05:58

-Thank you. See you next week.

0:06:030:06:05

-It's your pen.

0:06:050:06:06

-It's your pen.

-

-Ta-ta.

0:06:060:06:08

-I grew up in Rhydydelyn, Anglesey...

0:06:160:06:19

-..and I was

-part of the cheese business.

0:06:200:06:23

-I helped my mother develop

-the Rhydydelyn cheese company...

0:06:230:06:27

-..so it's easy for me to sell it

-and I'm very proud of it.

0:06:280:06:33

-We sell several different cheeses.

0:06:330:06:35

-The original Caws Rhydydelyn

-is similar to Brie.

0:06:350:06:39

-Caws Caled is like cheddar or gouda,

-Mon Las is a blue cheese...

0:06:390:06:44

-..and A470,

-which is a smoked cheese.

0:06:440:06:47

-The cheese

-is made on the farm by Mam.

0:06:500:06:52

-It's a Rhydydelyn hard cheese.

0:06:530:06:55

-It comes down the A470 to Cardiff,

-then it's smoked by Old Billyo.

0:06:560:07:00

-We then sell it in the deli.

0:07:020:07:04

-Back in 2008, when the price of milk

-was terribly low...

0:07:330:07:37

-..we, as a family,

-realized we had to diversify.

0:07:380:07:41

-It wasn't possible

-to increase the size of the cow...

0:07:410:07:45

-..so we had to find a way

-to make milk profitable.

0:07:450:07:48

-We're lucky to have a college which

-offers cheese making courses...

0:07:490:07:54

-..only four miles up the road

-from here.

0:07:540:07:57

-They were very supportive.

0:07:590:08:01

-When I walked through their door,

-there was no turning back.

0:08:010:08:05

-When I'd learned

-to make cheese at college...

0:08:060:08:09

-..we had to convert an old shed

-where we stored machines and bikes.

0:08:100:08:14

-Any junk from the house

-ended up in here.

0:08:170:08:21

-There were around

-seven Christmas trees in here!

0:08:210:08:25

-We cleared it out, converted it

-and started to produce cheese here.

0:08:270:08:31

-I milk the cows.

0:08:370:08:39

-That's my role on the farm.

0:08:390:08:41

-I take care of the herd.

0:08:410:08:43

-I help out when necessary.

0:08:430:08:45

-But I mostly look after the cows.

0:08:450:08:48

-We milk them twice a day.

0:08:480:08:50

-There are 100 cows

-in the Rhydydelyn herd.

0:08:500:08:54

-It was Menai's idea to make cheese

-and I was sceptical, at first.

0:08:580:09:03

-We went to Food Tech in Llangefni

-and things developed from there.

0:09:030:09:08

-It's now become

-extremely important to the family.

0:09:080:09:12

-We started with a soft cheese.

0:09:140:09:16

-That's because the college said it

-was the easiest cheese to produce.

0:09:160:09:21

-I then went back to college

-to learn to make different cheeses.

0:09:220:09:27

-Using our own milk

-is very important in the process.

0:09:270:09:31

-The whole point

-of us making cheese on our farm...

0:09:310:09:34

-..is we know the cows

-have the best possible care...

0:09:340:09:39

-..and that they eat

-the best possible grass.

0:09:390:09:42

-We know we're using fresh milk

-in our cheese.

0:09:420:09:45

-We never use old milk.

0:09:460:09:47

-It's also unique.

0:09:500:09:52

-Our cheese is unique.

0:09:540:09:56

-If I gave you the recipe

-and you went home and made cheese...

0:09:570:10:02

-..following that recipe,

-our cheeses would be different.

0:10:020:10:06

-That's because

-your milk would be different.

0:10:060:10:09

-The cows are milked twice a day...

0:10:110:10:14

-..in the morning and afternoon.

0:10:140:10:17

-Some of that milk is sold

-and the rest is used to make cheese.

0:10:170:10:21

-First, 500 litres of fresh milk

-which is collected in this tank...

0:10:220:10:26

-..is poured into the cheese parlour.

0:10:280:10:30

-Everything is done on the farm.

0:10:320:10:35

-The milk is heated and pasteurized

-in a special machine...

0:10:370:10:41

-..before being

-pumped into the cheese making tub.

0:10:410:10:45

-Rhydydelyn produces several cheeses

-- blue, soft and gouda...

0:10:460:10:51

-..but they're making

-a hard, cheddar style cheese today.

0:10:510:10:55

-This has just

-finished pasteurizing...

0:10:570:11:00

-..so I must now

-check the temperature.

0:11:000:11:03

-Fingers crossed it's 25 degrees.

0:11:030:11:06

-Now that we've killed the bacteria,

-we'll add new bacteria.

0:11:070:11:12

-Every different variety of cheese

-contains a different bacteria.

0:11:140:11:19

-We're making hard cheese today...

0:11:190:11:22

-..so I'll add bacteria specifically

-for hard cheese to the milk.

0:11:220:11:27

-I measured this earlier.

0:11:300:11:31

-There are eight grams in here.

0:11:320:11:34

-It's crucial that the measurements

-are accurate to the gram.

0:11:350:11:40

-We now want to raise the temperature

-to 32 degrees.

0:11:460:11:50

-When the starter has been

-in the milk for an hour...

0:11:560:12:00

-..we add rennet.

0:12:000:12:02

-This is sold by the litre.

0:12:020:12:04

-This rennet

-is suitable for vegetarians.

0:12:040:12:07

-This is a litre of rennet...

0:12:090:12:11

-..and I must add

-30ml for every 100g.

0:12:120:12:18

-That's 60 plus 60.

0:12:190:12:21

-I need 120.

0:12:220:12:24

-We have 430 litres of milk,

-so we'll add 130.

0:12:240:12:29

-This sets the cheese.

0:12:330:12:35

-Now, for the water...

0:12:430:12:45

-..I must multiply 130 by four,

-which gives me 520ml.

0:12:450:12:49

-The temperature is 31.9

-and that's fantastic...

0:12:530:12:58

-..because I need it to be

-around the 32 degrees mark.

0:12:590:13:03

-I just add the rennet

-and it works instantly.

0:13:030:13:06

-I stir it for one minute.

0:13:110:13:12

-And now, hopefully,

-you could put a cup in it.

0:13:160:13:19

-We sell our cheese

-in local farm shops...

0:13:300:13:33

-..and in a local farmers' market.

0:13:330:13:36

-We also sell our cheese

-in various festivals...

0:13:380:13:41

-..and, of course,

-at Canna Deli in Cardiff.

0:13:420:13:45

-We also supply Blas Ar Fwyd.

0:13:490:13:51

-They distribute it

-to hotels across North Wales.

0:13:520:13:55

-It's nice to see

-our produce being sold in Cardiff.

0:13:580:14:02

-Elin's received

-terrific support there.

0:14:050:14:08

-Here you go.

0:14:260:14:27

-Thank you. Lovely.

0:14:270:14:29

-I'll bring your coffee now.

0:14:320:14:34

-I'm usually

-in charge of making the coffees.

0:14:360:14:39

-I make the coffees every day.

0:14:410:14:43

-I enjoy it.

0:14:450:14:46

-I love messing around.

0:14:480:14:50

-I'm usually late for work!

0:14:510:14:53

-I hope Elin didn't hear that!

0:14:540:14:56

-I get here, I have a coffee, get

-things ready and put the sign out.

0:14:580:15:03

-Then the customers start to arrive

-and I have a chat with some of them.

0:15:030:15:08

-That's it, basically.

0:15:110:15:13

-It's a good laugh.

0:15:140:15:15

-I really enjoy

-messing around with coffees...

0:15:170:15:21

-..and making coffee all day.

0:15:210:15:23

-The customers are interesting

-and I chat to them.

0:15:230:15:26

-The days go pretty quickly here.

0:15:290:15:31

-I went to college

-in Liverpool last year.

0:15:360:15:38

-When I moved to Cardiff, I expected

-to hear a lot of English...

0:15:390:15:43

-..but I speak Welsh every day

-with the staff and with customers.

0:15:430:15:48

-It's really nice to have

-a little piece of home in Cardiff.

0:15:500:15:55

-Here we are.

0:16:010:16:03

-Cappuccino.

0:16:030:16:04

-Americano decaf.

0:16:050:16:06

-Thank you.

0:16:070:16:09

-Thank you.

-

-Thank you.

0:16:090:16:10

-Buches o wartheg - a herd of cows.

0:16:200:16:23

-Gwyn gwastad - flat white.

0:16:290:16:31

-Rhuddygl - horseradish.

-Cheese is on the menu

-in Cwmni this week.

0:17:040:17:07

-We focus on a family enterprise

-which includes milking cows...

0:17:080:17:12

-..making cheese

-and selling it in a Cardiff deli.

0:17:130:17:16

-I came home last night.

0:17:320:17:34

-I live in Cardiff.

0:17:340:17:36

-I flew up

-and I reached Valley around 5pm.

0:17:360:17:40

-It's always like this when I'm home.

0:17:420:17:44

-I had the call that the cheese

-was being made today...

0:17:450:17:49

-..so, as farming families always do,

-I helped out.

0:17:490:17:53

-I've been hard at it for four hours.

0:17:530:17:56

-It's hard work.

0:17:580:18:00

-We all work full-time.

0:18:000:18:02

-The success of the business

-relies on us helping each other out.

0:18:020:18:06

-We're a family which helps

-each other out as much as possible.

0:18:070:18:11

-When I'm home, I always help with

-the milking and the cheese making.

0:18:130:18:18

-It's always the same.

0:18:180:18:20

-When Elin was doing up the deli,

-she needed our help.

0:18:200:18:24

-Alun is a plumber,

-so he helped with the plumbing work.

0:18:240:18:28

-We never speak English

-to each other...

0:18:280:18:31

-..unless we're in the company

-of someone who doesn't speak it.

0:18:320:18:37

-The whole family speaks Welsh.

0:18:370:18:39

-When Elin and I are together

-in Cardiff, we speak Welsh.

0:18:390:18:43

-I added the starter and the rennet

-around an hour ago.

0:18:500:18:53

-I now expect this to be solid.

0:18:550:18:57

-This is how you test it.

0:18:580:18:59

-You put your finger in and see

-if it creates a straight edge.

0:18:590:19:04

-This is perfect for cutting.

0:19:080:19:10

-This is the cutter

-and it's too short...

0:19:120:19:15

-..so I start at the bottom

-and pull it up.

0:19:150:19:18

-I've got to do that three times.

0:19:200:19:22

-I'll cut it from below.

0:19:220:19:24

-I'll push it to the bottom...

0:19:270:19:29

-..and Huw can pull it.

0:19:290:19:31

-He does that without

-putting his hands in the cheese.

0:19:350:19:38

-I'll pull it from here.

0:19:390:19:40

-I'll put that on the table.

0:19:460:19:48

-I'll change it to a cutter

-which runs across here.

0:19:500:19:53

-Same again.

0:19:540:19:55

-Ideally,

-I want them all to be this size.

0:19:580:20:01

-You don't want them to be too small.

0:20:020:20:04

-No, but there are big lumps

-on the bottom.

0:20:050:20:08

-It's fine like that.

0:20:110:20:12

-It's fine like that.

-

-Yes, I think so.

0:20:120:20:13

-In 2012, I had the honour

-of doing a Nuffield Scholarship...

0:20:180:20:22

-..which meant

-I could travel the world...

0:20:220:20:25

-..studying a farming-related subject

-of my choice.

0:20:260:20:29

-I chose to study diversification

-in the dairy industry...

0:20:300:20:34

-..focusing on cheese.

0:20:340:20:36

-On my travels around Europe,

-I went to France, obviously.

0:20:360:20:40

-That's where I met Carrie.

0:20:400:20:42

-I stayed with Carrie for a while

-and I made cheese with her.

0:20:440:20:48

-She worked on a farm

-which had seven cows.

0:20:480:20:51

-They milked the cows every day

-and made cheese with all the milk.

0:20:510:20:56

-It was a tiny farm.

0:20:560:20:57

-Carrie displayed

-some really specialist skills.

0:20:580:21:01

-She knows

-so much more about cheese than us...

0:21:020:21:05

-..so we had to offer her a job

-and try to get her to move to Wales.

0:21:050:21:09

-Carrie has moved back to Bethesda

-and we've kept in touch with her.

0:21:130:21:18

-She comes here to help us and

-it's a pleasure to have her here.

0:21:180:21:22

-I learn something

-every time she's here.

0:21:230:21:26

-Very few people

-make cheese these days.

0:21:270:21:29

-It makes sense to share skills...

0:21:300:21:33

-..and to share problems too.

0:21:370:21:39

-It makes sense to work together.

0:21:390:21:42

-I come here once a week

-or once a fortnight...

0:21:460:21:49

-..to help Menai make the cheese.

0:21:490:21:52

-There's also a lot of work

-to be done once the cheese is made.

0:21:520:21:56

-You spend 40% of the time

-making cheese...

0:22:010:22:05

-..and 60% of the time

-washing up and cleaning up.

0:22:050:22:09

-It's a lot of work.

0:22:100:22:12

-It's time

-to raise the temperature...

0:22:140:22:17

-..to between 33 and 35 degrees.

0:22:180:22:20

-This solidifies the cheese.

0:22:200:22:23

-Carrie will explain why we do this.

0:22:270:22:30

-Why, Carrie?

0:22:300:22:33

-It does two things.

0:22:330:22:35

-It helps to expel the whey.

0:22:390:22:41

-What's 'whey' in Welsh?

0:22:420:22:43

-Just say whey.

0:22:440:22:45

-At the same time, you don't want to

-create a covering around it...

0:22:480:22:53

-..because

-that keeps the whey in there.

0:22:530:22:56

-Raising the temperature...

0:22:580:23:01

-..make this process more gradual.

0:23:010:23:04

-Yes - you don't want this process

-to happen too quickly.

0:23:080:23:12

-That's right.

0:23:120:23:14

-With soft cheese,

-you squeeze out the whey.

0:23:140:23:17

-With this, you want the cheese

-to solidify very slowly.

0:23:190:23:23

-If you come in feeling stressed...

0:23:310:23:33

-..you forget about it all

-after five minutes of stirring.

0:23:330:23:38

-It's great.

0:23:380:23:39

-When we get rid of the whey

-at the end of this process...

0:23:450:23:49

-..it drains into a tank

-and we pump it onto the fields.

0:23:490:23:54

-It's very rich in nitrogen

-and protein.

0:23:590:24:02

-Yes. In all sorts of things.

0:24:040:24:06

-You know the people

-who want to build up muscles...

0:24:060:24:10

-..and they buy protein drinks?

0:24:100:24:12

-They make it out of this stuff.

0:24:120:24:15

-We've been stirring it for an hour,

-so we're ready.

0:24:240:24:28

-We let it settle and all the cheese

-has sank to the bottom.

0:24:280:24:32

-The next step is to remove the whey.

0:24:330:24:35

-One, two, three!

0:24:380:24:39

-We're cutting up the cheese,

-ready for salting.

0:24:540:24:58

-Whoever is home gets a job!

0:25:040:25:05

-Yes - many hands make light work.

0:25:080:25:10

-Huw came home last night.

0:25:110:25:12

-We hadn't seen him since Christmas

-but he's already making cheese!

0:25:130:25:17

-We cut it into small chunks

-because we're about to salt it.

0:25:200:25:24

-We want the salt

-to penetrate the cheese evenly.

0:25:240:25:27

-The only way to do that

-is to cut it up into small pieces.

0:25:290:25:33

-Once every bit of cheese is salted,

-we squeeze it back together.

0:25:330:25:38

-The cheese making process involves

-a lot of squeezing and cutting.

0:25:420:25:47

-Then, it will be smoked in Cardiff.

0:25:470:25:50

-This will be ready by Christmas.

0:25:520:25:55

-It's April now.

0:25:550:25:56

-This will be nice by Christmas.

0:25:570:25:59

-We've cut it and salted it,

-so it's time to pack it tightly.

0:26:040:26:08

-We squeeze as hard as we can.

0:26:080:26:10

-The aim is to get as much cheese

-as possible into one of these.

0:26:130:26:17

-They'll compress

-down to 75% or 50% of this size.

0:26:170:26:21

-We leave it overnight, and it will

-be a hard cheese by the morning.

0:26:270:26:31

-When you stack them, the weight

-of the cheese expels the whey.

0:26:360:26:40

-We help the process along

-with this tool.

0:26:400:26:44

-After a day or two in the moulds...

0:26:500:26:52

-..the hard cheese

-is refrigerated for six months.

0:26:530:26:58

-When it's matured, it's shipped

-to Cardiff to be smoked...

0:26:590:27:04

-..before being sold

-in some unique packaging.

0:27:050:27:08

-When we smoke a batch of cheese,

-I announce it on Twitter.

0:27:170:27:21

-We sell out in three days,

-so if you want to buy A470 cheese...

0:27:210:27:25

-..follow Canna Deli on Twitter.

0:27:250:27:29

-Godro - milking.

0:27:370:27:39

-Ceuled a maidd - curds and whey.

0:27:430:27:46

-Cosyn caws - cheese truckle.

0:27:510:27:54

-I'm proud to offer a Welsh language

-service at Canna Deli.

0:28:060:28:10

-Welsh is the staff's first language

-and it comes naturally to us.

0:28:100:28:15

-When we're at the food markets...

0:28:160:28:18

-..it's important

-to greet customers in Welsh first.

0:28:190:28:22

-When you do that, you often find

-people who are learning Welsh...

0:28:230:28:27

-..and they're always happy

-to be greeted in Welsh.

0:28:270:28:31

-It's a mistake to turn to English.

0:28:310:28:34

-I admire any learner

-who can answer me in Welsh.

0:28:340:28:38

-Welsh learners

-can be a little bit shy at times.

0:28:390:28:43

-I'm learning Welsh.

0:28:440:28:46

-I first started to learn Welsh...

0:28:460:28:48

-..when I moved to Wales

-around 30 years ago.

0:28:490:28:53

-It was incredibly difficult

-for me at first.

0:28:530:28:57

-But now...

0:29:020:29:04

-..I think I really like

-using the Welsh language.

0:29:040:29:09

-It now feels strange...

0:29:120:29:14

-..not to speak Welsh

-when I'm with Welsh speakers.

-Welcome to the highlights

-of Wednesday at the Royal Welsh.

0:29:560:30:01

-Thousands of people flocked here

-to see the Welsh Cobs...

0:30:020:30:06

-..and they're all on tenterhooks.

0:30:060:30:09

-Who'll win

-the George Prince Of Wales Cup?

0:30:090:30:12

-There were

-Clun Forest classes this morning.

0:30:250:30:28

-The Clun Forest Society celebrates

-its 90th anniversary this year.

0:30:280:30:33

-It's an adaptable breed

-which thrives everywhere...

0:30:330:30:37

-..from the English lowlands

-to the Scottish highlands.

0:30:370:30:41

-This is the pinnacle of the Clun

-Forest classes - the championship.

0:30:480:30:53

-Gethin Havard,

-it's a two sheep race!

0:30:530:30:56

-Yes - two familiar faces

-in the Cluns section.

0:30:560:31:00

-Mike Eckley and the family

-with the ram...

0:31:000:31:03

-..and Brian Davies

-with the shearling.

0:31:030:31:06

-What a battle!

0:31:060:31:08

-They're both brilliant.

0:31:090:31:11

-Yes. They're old masters who've been

-here countless times before.

0:31:110:31:16

-They've shared the prizes this year.

0:31:160:31:19

-The Eckleys have bred 11 champions.

0:31:190:31:21

-Look at the depth and width

-of that ram!

0:31:210:31:24

-He's massive.

0:31:240:31:26

-Yes - a strong body,

-a good head and sharp ears.

0:31:260:31:29

-He's got the lot.

0:31:300:31:31

-Having said that,

-this ewe is smart too.

0:31:310:31:34

-Yes. She's eye-catching.

0:31:340:31:36

-No wonder

-these sheep have been exported...

0:31:360:31:39

-..to Germany,

-Netherlands and America.

0:31:400:31:42

-Gethin Havard, you're the expert.

0:31:430:31:45

-Whose championship is it?

0:31:450:31:47

-The ram?

0:31:470:31:49

-The ram?

-

-Yes, though I like the ewe too.

0:31:490:31:51

-Yes - Eckley has won it.

0:31:510:31:53

-The ram takes it.

0:31:530:31:55

-He won it last year too.

0:31:550:31:57

-The Eckleys have come back into

-the business after 14 years out.

0:31:580:32:02

-They're leading the way again.

0:32:020:32:04

-The annual Lloyd Family Award

-is given each year...

0:32:140:32:18

-..in memory of an influential family

-when it comes to sheep classes.

0:32:180:32:23

-Dafydd Jones is here to talk us

-through this class.

0:32:230:32:27

-Welcome, Dafydd.

0:32:270:32:29

-This class

-is different from the others.

0:32:290:32:32

-Yes, and it's all about

-getting the balance right.

0:32:320:32:36

-These sheep

-aren't all from the same flock.

0:32:360:32:39

-They come from different flocks...

0:32:390:32:42

-..but the handlers

-must get them to match perfectly.

0:32:420:32:46

-It's a tall order.

0:32:460:32:48

-The Society selects the sheep.

0:32:480:32:50

-Yes, that's right.

0:32:500:32:52

-Beulah Speckled Faces have won this

-class during the past three years.

0:32:530:32:58

-These three are owned

-by Anwen Jones, Blaenblodau.

0:32:580:33:02

-Look how level they are.

0:33:020:33:04

-The standard is high this year.

0:33:040:33:06

-Brecknock Hill Cheviots.

0:33:070:33:09

-Brecknock Hill Cheviots.

-

-Yes, and Welsh Speckled Faces here.

0:33:090:33:11

-What a wonderful sight!

0:33:120:33:13

-The three sheep

-match each other really well.

0:33:140:33:17

-Yes, and look at

-the Speckled sheep's hind legs.

0:33:170:33:20

-The black and white markings

-are very similar on all three.

0:33:210:33:25

-There's very little difference

-between them.

0:33:250:33:28

-It's hard to get that balance.

0:33:280:33:30

-The faces are similar too.

0:33:310:33:33

-The judge agrees with you.

0:33:360:33:38

-I'm delighted.

0:33:390:33:40

-It's nice to see the Speckleds win.

0:33:410:33:43

-Yes, and they deserve it.

0:33:430:33:45

-The Welsh Hill Speckled Face Sheep

-have won the Lloyd Family Award.

0:33:450:33:50

-Tom, congratulations!

0:33:500:33:52

-Tom, congratulations!

-

-Thank you.

0:33:520:33:53

-You haven't won this

-for a few years.

0:33:530:33:56

-It's been ten years but

-winning today has made me emotional.

0:33:570:34:02

-This judge last gave me an award

-in the shearing shed in 2006!

0:34:030:34:08

-I like this man!

0:34:080:34:09

-You put the breed on the map.

-Congratulations.

0:34:100:34:14

-As we know, the people at the Show

-work really hard...

0:34:170:34:21

-..before and during the event.

0:34:210:34:23

-Last night, I went for a walk

-around the show ground...

0:34:240:34:27

-..to see how visitors

-and contestants relax...

0:34:280:34:31

-..after a long day at the Show.

0:34:310:34:33

-You look at home

-among the sheep, boys.

0:34:390:34:42

-What makes the social side

-of the Show so special?

0:34:430:34:46

-When the day's over,

-we forget about the classes.

0:34:470:34:50

-We all enjoy the evenings,

-whether we come first or last.

0:34:500:34:55

-You had a busy day of exhibiting.

-How did you get on?

0:34:580:35:00

-Reserve Female, Reserve Male...

0:35:010:35:03

-..and last four

-of the group of five.

0:35:030:35:05

-Who won the Male?

0:35:060:35:07

-Who won the Male?

-

-Kevin did.

0:35:070:35:09

-Unlucky, old boy!

0:35:100:35:12

-Have you made new friends this week?

0:35:140:35:17

-Have you made new friends this week?

-

-Yes, but I don't know their names.

0:35:170:35:19

-They were nice people.

0:35:200:35:21

-They were alright then?

0:35:210:35:23

-They were alright then?

-

-Yes.

0:35:230:35:25

-What's happening tonight?

0:35:260:35:27

-What's happening tonight?

-

-We'll relax tonight.

0:35:270:35:29

-Relax? It's been a hard day, has it?

0:35:290:35:32

-Relax? It's been a hard day, has it?

-

-Yes - a really hard day.

0:35:320:35:33

-Feet up and chill out.

0:35:330:35:35

-This is what I call a celebration.

0:35:390:35:41

-Where are we?

0:35:410:35:43

-Where are we?

-

-We're on the Beltex stand.

0:35:430:35:45

-This is the best breed of them all.

0:35:450:35:48

-Do you agree, boys?

0:35:490:35:50

-Do you agree, boys?

-

-Yes.

0:35:500:35:52

-Rob, you're the chef.

0:35:540:35:55

-Rob, you're the chef.

-

-Yes. I'm the carver.

0:35:550:35:57

-You've just missed the meat

-I'm afraid.

0:35:580:36:01

-Look at that! It's empty.

0:36:010:36:03

-You're all celebrating, Rob.

0:36:040:36:06

-Yes, and we always throw a party

-after the Show on Tuesdays.

0:36:060:36:10

-What's this trophy you've got here?

0:36:120:36:15

-We won the best Beltex ram lamb.

0:36:150:36:18

-You won the prize for the best

-Beltex ram lamb in the Show?

0:36:190:36:23

-Let me see that trophy.

0:36:230:36:25

-Hold it up.

0:36:270:36:28

-Look at that!

0:36:280:36:30

-You've come on a great night, boys.

-We won this trophy.

0:36:300:36:34

-Congratulations to everyone

-else too. We've all done well.

0:36:340:36:38

-You'll celebrate tonight.

0:36:390:36:40

-You'll celebrate tonight.

-

-Yes, it's got to be done.

0:36:400:36:41

-Hey, boys!

0:36:450:36:47

-Cheers.

0:36:470:36:48

-Cheers, boys!

0:36:490:36:50

-We're all having a good time

-at the Royal Welsh Show.

0:36:520:36:56

-Cheers!

0:36:560:36:58

-These are great boys.

0:36:580:37:00

-The high standard at the Show...

0:37:040:37:06

-..makes you assume

-everyone's a seasoned exhibitor.

0:37:060:37:10

-But everyone must start somewhere...

0:37:100:37:13

-..and children took centre stage

-in the horse ring this morning.

0:37:130:37:18

-This is the Leading Rein Mountain

-And Moorland Section A class...

0:37:320:37:37

-..for children under nine.

0:37:370:37:39

-It's a special class...

0:37:400:37:41

-..because the winner goes on

-to the Horse Of The Year Show.

0:37:420:37:46

-Jeanette owns this pony.

0:37:500:37:52

-She's owned this mare

-for around ten years.

0:37:530:37:57

-This pony...

0:37:580:37:59

-..has taught a lot of the children

-of Anglesey to ride over the years.

0:37:590:38:04

-We're very lucky that Huw will ride

-this pony at the Royal Welsh today.

0:38:060:38:11

-This is Huw's first experience

-of the ring at the Royal Welsh.

0:38:180:38:22

-They're allowed

-to ride around with their handler...

0:38:230:38:27

-..to learn to push the pony forward.

0:38:270:38:30

-But they're safe, at the same time.

0:38:300:38:32

-Clothes are very important.

0:38:340:38:36

-The tweeds and tartans on display

-in this big class are very pretty.

0:38:370:38:43

-People choose colours

-to make the most of the horse.

0:38:450:38:49

-Green, red and navy are

-the dominant colours you see here.

0:38:490:38:53

-The girls wear ribbons

-in their hair.

0:38:530:38:56

-We have Section A ponies at home

-and Huw loves to play with them.

0:38:560:39:01

-Welcome back to Llanelwedd

-at the end of another great day.

0:40:030:40:07

-in the spotlight in the cattle ring.

0:40:080:40:12

-The standard was as high as ever.

0:40:120:40:14

-This is the Supreme Champion

-This is exceptional.

0:40:350:40:37

-Dairy cattle

-must tire quicker than beef cattle.

0:40:410:40:45

-They're carrying a lot of milk.

0:40:450:40:47

-Imagine bursting for the loo

-and being held back!

0:40:480:40:51

-This is the Ayrshire.

0:40:540:40:55

-She looks like a heifer,

-doesn't she?

0:40:560:40:58

-She's young with good legs,

-a good udder and a good back.

0:40:580:41:03

-I think it's between these two.

0:41:030:41:05

-This one's really smart and sharp.

0:41:100:41:12

-This is the Shorthorn.

0:41:160:41:18

-The Shorthorn is a breed which has

-improved over the past few years.

0:41:200:41:25

0:41:250:41:27

-..were unrecognizable

-from what we see today.

0:41:280:41:31

-This is the Brown Swiss.

0:41:330:41:34

-It's a relatively new breed...

0:41:350:41:37

-..but it's gradually

-establishing itself.

0:41:370:41:40

-Yes, it's grown in popularity

-really quickly.

0:41:400:41:44

-It hasn't been present in this

-country for a huge number of years.

0:41:440:41:48

-It's only been about 25 years.

0:41:500:41:52

-It's only been about 25 years.

-

-Yes, if not less.

0:41:520:41:53

-Like the beef classes, the standard

-of dairy cattle here is high.

0:41:550:42:00

-Yes, and the championship

-could be awarded to any of these.

0:42:000:42:04

-It all depends on

-what appeals to the judge.

0:42:050:42:08

-The Jersey takes it, boys!

0:42:110:42:13

-I was wrong again!

0:42:140:42:15

-fair play.

0:43:210:43:23

-and the Ayrshire, isn't it?

0:43:290:43:33

-I'd better keep quiet

-because I got it wrong last time!

0:43:330:43:38
