0:28:11 > 0:28:13- He's quite a sight.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- It's very easy - to explain this competition.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- It's the shearers against - the axe men. Cutting is the goal.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- The axe men cut trees while - the shearers cut wool off the lambs.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43- The faster the better!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- The only thing you don't want to cut - is your toes!
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- It's a bit of fun. As commentators, - we try to get the excitement going.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- We try to create some rivalry - between the two lots.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- It's developed a bit now.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- There's a bit of teasing going on.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Those shearers can't be trusted!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- They say that there are tactics - going on.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- That's more down - to the axe men than the shearers!
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I've never seen a block of wood - kicking. A sheep certainly can!
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- It's easier for the shearers - to change a few details.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Two years ago, they decided to shear - the bellies of all the lambs.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Someone pointed out there's - more wool on a pocket handkerchief!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Shearers just shear - what's put in front of them.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- We'll see what the axe men do - this afternoon.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Stand by your logs.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- One, two, three. Go!
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- Here we go, then. It's the shearers - against the axe men.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- The axe men are from the Wye Valley.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Daf Davies is challenging - on behalf of the shearers.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- The axe men have taken the lead.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- Dafydd Davies - has turned to the second pen.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- But who will be the first - to make it to the second?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- The axe men have changed hands.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Dafydd Davies - has only just finished his lamb.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Down it goes. - Llywelyn is the second shearer.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- The axe man is already halfway.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- He's gobbling up that wood!
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- The axes have come from New Zealand.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- It's Welshmen taking - each other on at the moment.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- I'm not sure who'll finish first.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- It's very close. Llywelyn is on - the home run. Down the final side.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Who will win? It's so close!
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Llywelyn pulls the cord. - The shearers win it!
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Only just!
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- The shearers won the day - in the intermediate section.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- They also won the senior section.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Lloyd Rees is flying!
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Lloyd Rees is flying!- - It's so close!
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Lloyd Rees wins the day.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- But in the open - and masters sections...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- ..the axe men were the winners.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- The score was equal.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- Sam Saunders, the New Zealand team - manager, is bound to be behind.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- The Kiwi on the axe has beaten - the Kiwi on the handpiece!
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- The axe men take it this time.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Sam Saunders - is still having some trouble.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29- It's equal again at 2-2.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Everything was at stake - in the final.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- One, two, three, go!
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- Off we go for the international race - between shearers and axe men.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- The French are up against - Denmark and Tasmania.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- A little kick for Jalle Resneau...
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- ..which gives Todd Nielson - from Tasmania a bit of time.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- He has nearly finished. - Watch your toes, Todd!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Todd Nielson has finished.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Wow, things have changed here.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- This is the Danish axe champion.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- These Reseneau women - - I think this is the second, Jalle...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- ..are shearing very fast indeed.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- The second shearer is fast too. - They're both hard at it!
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Resneau has started a bit early - but no matter.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23- The other one got a kick!
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- He has given a chance to the axe men - once again.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- He's the champion - who's come all the way from Denmark.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Elonore Resneau - is a little bit behind.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Jalle Resneau had a bit of a kick.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- But the axe men showed no mercy.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- It seems to me that it's 3-2 - to the axe men this time.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Over the last three years, - Welsh Black, South Devon...

0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Here he is, - Mr Boomer Birch, the judge.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- He has his work cut out.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Yes. It's quite difficult.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- The Devon cattle - are very impressive.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53- It's very quiet here. - The judge is behind the cattle.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- He's looking at - the most important part...

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- There are eight groups of three.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- The judge - is going to select the best four.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Do you have a preference, Deio?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- The South Devon and the Welsh Black - stand out for me.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- For me, the Devons - have the best group of three.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55- He had brought them this far.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- The bull has certainly carried - the rest of the breed here today.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- There is absolutely nothing wrong - with the two cows.
