0:36:29 > 0:36:30- We have three here.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- Iestyn Tyne from the Lleyn Peninsula - is helping me go through them.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- He might be familiar to some of you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- He won the Crown - at the Urdd Eisteddfod this year.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Today, he's taking us - through the native sheep.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- The class behind us - is the ram lamb class.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- What do we have here?
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- We have three Herdwick ram lambs.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- It's positive seeing - more of these in this class...
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- ..especially after they became rare - during the foot-and-mouth disaster.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- They come from the Lake District - in northern England.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- We also have - the North Country Cheviot.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- It's the upland version - of that breed.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- There's an upland and lowland - Cheviot.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- The Whitefaced Woodland - is on the end.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- The judge is going through them.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- He's starting with the Herdwick - on the far side.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Tell us more - about the history of the breed.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35- It's an ancient breed.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36- It's an ancient breed.- - It is.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- The word Herdwick - comes from old English.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- It's a word that originates - perhaps in the 12th century...
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- ..and refers to a piece of land - where sheep graze.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- So the breed dates back a long way.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- The judge looks like - he's about to place them.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- There are five in the class. - We've seen them from a distance.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- The judge has had the opportunity - to look at them up close...
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- ..but do some of them stand out - for you?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- The one - that's just moved to the front.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- He looks stronger.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- The white is clearer - on his head and legs.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- He has a better conformation.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22- He's a strong contender.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- The judge, Peter Williams - from Monmouthshire...
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- ..has a tough task - comparing different breeds.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- But he's made a decision.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- The Pittard family - from Cwmbach, Aberdare, have won.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39- Many congratulations to you.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40- Many congratulations to you.- - Thank you.

0:38:49 > 0:38:50- So it's a present to her.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- A double celebration.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- Reaching 34 and winning this class - of ram lambs.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58- Congratulations.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59- Congratulations.- - Thank you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- When I think of axemen, - I think of Dafydd Cadwaladr.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40- How are you?
0:39:40 > 0:39:41- How are you?- - I'm great, fantastic.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- You're loving it here.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- There's nothing better. - It's fantastic.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- You're running the event - and helping to run it.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- You're also competing.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Yes, I've reached - the "Veteran" age category.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- I'm very young - to have been chosen for it.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- I get to do one competition a day.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- I've come to terms with that.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- With this heat, it's not bad.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- I really admire these guys - in this heat.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- They're putting everything - into the job.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15- It's scorching here.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- They're very fit.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- I think because these are tough - events, you have to harden yourself.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- It's the same with shearing, - you need perseverance.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- It's great that even - in the extreme heat yesterday...
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- ..they could keep going even - when it was still hot at 5.00pm.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- It's incredible.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- Dewi, you've just been competing - in a forestry competition.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- I can think of few worse things - in this heat.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Yes, it's a bit of a strain today.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- It's strenuous in this heat.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- I'm not sure if it's around - 30 degrees today.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- It feels like it's getting hotter.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Tell us a about this competition. - What was it?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- In English, - it's called a standing block.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- It's meant to emulate - felling a tree.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- You cut to halfway from one side - and then run around...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- ..and cut a little higher - from the other side.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Then you drive it like that.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- There's no doubt - it's a pretty tough challenge.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- What's the appeal for you, - personally?
0:41:37 > 0:41:38- It's a lot of fun.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02- I've been behind him ever since.

0:43:33 > 0:43:37- ..congratulations on your work today - judging the Team of Five.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- On a personal note, - it was a strange feeling for me...
0:43:41 > 0:43:46- ..to watch the action - and not hear you commentating on it.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50- It was a bit strange for me - hearing a different voice.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53- Fair play to Meurig James, - he did a very good job.
0:43:53 > 0:43:58- How were your nerves - before you went into the ring?
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- I'd be lying - if I said I had no nerves.
0:44:02 > 0:44:07- There were five teams - I could've chosen.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13- The most difficult job - was choosing out of those five.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19- You've been commentating for years - and been judging at local shows.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23- How big an honour was it - to judge here at Llanelwedd?
0:44:23 > 0:44:28- I've been a commentator here - for many years...
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- ..so I saw it as a huge honour - to be in the Main Ring.

0:44:37 > 0:44:41- As I said, it was a huge honour.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- You've been an unofficial judge - many a time.
0:44:45 > 0:44:50- In the commentating tower over - the years, I'd have a side-stake!
0:44:51 > 0:44:57- I got about two-thirds right, - 15 out of 22.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59- That's a good record!
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- It's a small qualification - for today.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05- It's a very good qualification!
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- What about the standard - of the competition?

0:45:11 > 0:45:13- The stockmen have to be praised.

0:45:19 > 0:45:24- Getting a team together - is the task today.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27- Cattle that look like a team.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- There were some excellent - individuals...
0:45:30 > 0:45:33- ..but the team - didn't always quite match up.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37- There were five - extremely good teams.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40- I could have awarded the prize - to any of them.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41- The Lims obviously pleased you.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42- The Lims obviously pleased you.- - Yes.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45- That's a difficult choice - for a man...
0:45:45 > 0:45:49- ..who has always - reared Charolais cattle.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- But the Lims stood out.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- The Blues too.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- It was a very close-run contest.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57- Congratulations to you once more.
