-According to a recent report...

0:00:060:00:08

-..the way customers buy red meat

-is changing.

0:00:080:00:11

-Will this affect meat sales

-in Wales?

0:00:120:00:15

-It's people voluntarily

-eating less meat.

0:00:150:00:18

-It's not a large percentage

-but it is increasing.

0:00:180:00:22

-The enterprise

-of one Lleyn family pays dividends.

0:00:230:00:26

-What's the point in training the

-boys if you can't offer them work?

0:00:260:00:33

-The carcass competition

-at the Winter Fair...

0:00:330:00:36

-..is a huge help

-to pioneering young breeders.

0:00:360:00:39

-I learnt a lot

-during this competition.

0:00:390:00:42

-It's my first time but not my last.

0:00:430:00:45

-I'm at the Winter Fair, the shop

-window for the red meat industry.

0:00:500:00:54

-If you had a look around today,

-you'd be confident for the future...

0:00:540:00:59

-..but trends are changing

-in buying and eating red meat.

0:00:590:01:04

-Is the industry

-ready to meet the challenges?

0:01:040:01:08

-Meat Promotion Wales worked

-with Kantar Worldpanel last year.

0:01:150:01:20

-They discovered

-that flexitarianism is on the rise.

0:01:200:01:24

-Flexitarians only eat meat

-occasionally.

0:01:240:01:27

-The percentage of nightly meals

-that don't contain meat...

0:01:270:01:32

-..has grown from 36% to 38%

-in less than three years.

0:01:320:01:36

-What effect has this had

-on Welsh farmers?

0:01:370:01:40

-It's important

-to research and determine...

0:01:400:01:44

-..where the trends are taking us.

0:01:440:01:46

-It's people voluntarily

-eating less meat.

0:01:460:01:49

-It's not a large percentage

-but it is increasing.

0:01:500:01:53

-You must remember that people

-eating meat in this country...

0:01:530:01:57

-..with a population of 70 million,

-only 3% don't eat meat.

0:01:580:02:01

-We still retain a strong market.

0:02:020:02:05

-That percentage hasn't changed

-for 30 years.

0:02:050:02:09

-There's a strong market

-but we have to change and adapt.

0:02:100:02:15

-The market is changing

-and the demand is changing.

0:02:150:02:19

-As a body and an industry, we have

-to meet the changing market.

0:02:190:02:24

-Looking to the future...

0:02:240:02:26

-..it's important to encourage young

-people to continue eating red meat.

0:02:260:02:32

-We've seen a trend

-in the small shop sector...

0:02:320:02:36

-..where fewer Welsh people

-are buying meat to cook...

0:02:360:02:40

-..some cuts in particular.

0:02:410:02:43

-If we look at the catering sector...

0:02:430:02:45

-..there's a huge increase,

-especially with lamb.

0:02:450:02:49

-There's been an increase in the sale

-of lamb in the catering industry.

0:02:490:02:53

-We can do more work in educating

-young customers how to cook...

0:02:530:02:58

-..and the value of cooking lamb,

-in particular, at home.

0:02:580:03:03

-We currently have European

-PGI branding on our produce.

0:03:030:03:08

-What's going to happen to that

-if a hard Brexit occurs?

0:03:080:03:12

-Are you preparing for that now?

-Will there be a new Welsh brand?

0:03:130:03:17

-We don't know what will happen

-in the future as we stand here now.

0:03:180:03:22

-Knowing that we face uncertainty,

-we are working on another plan...

0:03:230:03:27

-..with Defra

-and the Welsh Government.

0:03:270:03:30

-If we're not part of

-the European system in the future...

0:03:300:03:36

-..we'll have another plan in place.

0:03:360:03:40

-Of course, time will tell.

0:03:400:03:42

-We have to retain the brands

-we have.

0:03:430:03:45

-That way we'll secure value

-in the market.

0:03:450:03:50

-The red meat industry in Wales

-is facing challenges.

0:03:500:03:55

-What's being done to promote

-the produce across the world?

0:03:550:03:59

-Brexit has done very little

-to benefit us...

0:04:000:04:03

-..but it has shown us that

-all our eggs are in one basket.

0:04:030:04:07

-It's shown us

-that we have to target new markets.

0:04:070:04:11

-There are markets out there

-without a doubt.

0:04:110:04:14

-The Middle East is a market

-we should be pursuing.

0:04:140:04:17

-There's been an increase in red meat

-consumption in these countries.

0:04:180:04:23

-There's demand for premium red meat

-which is what we're selling.

0:04:230:04:27

-We've had success

-in places like Canada.

0:04:280:04:30

-We must think about China and

-America as markets for Welsh meat.

0:04:300:04:36

-As we look to the future...

0:04:360:04:38

-..what's the primary message

-in terms of selling red meat?

0:04:390:04:43

-In Britain, we've started

-a campaign with beef...

0:04:430:04:47

-..where we emphasise that red meat

-is healthy and nutritious...

0:04:470:04:52

-..as part of a balanced diet.

0:04:520:04:54

-It contains zinc, iron and protein.

0:04:550:04:57

-That's our message

-for beef promotion.

0:04:580:05:01

-With lamb, we're trying

-to promote it as a flexible meat.

0:05:020:05:06

-We've introduced a website you can

-access on your mobile phone.

0:05:060:05:10

-If you're wondering which cut

-to purchase, you can access recipes.

0:05:110:05:15

-Some will have videos

-showing you how to cook.

0:05:150:05:18

-We're presenting lamb as a flexible

-ingredient which is easy to cook.

0:05:180:05:22

-There are varying opinions...

0:05:220:05:24

-..about the advantages and

-disadvantages of eating red meat.

0:05:250:05:28

-Informed advice

-is important for customers.

0:05:290:05:32

-Dietician Sioned Quirke

-is an expert on food nutrition.

0:05:320:05:37

-The topic of red meat

-is rather contentious.

0:05:370:05:40

-I think that people

-are worried about eating it.

0:05:410:05:44

-Research has shown that eating

-red meat a few times a week...

0:05:440:05:50

-..is OK for our health.

0:05:500:05:52

-Problems arise with processed meats.

0:05:520:05:55

-That includes sausages and bacon.

0:05:560:05:58

-We know that red meat is a good

-source of protein, folate and iron.

0:05:580:06:06

-A portion of meat is the same size

-as the palm of your hand.

0:06:060:06:12

-It's great if we can eat two

-to three portions of meat a week.

0:06:120:06:18

-With trends such as

-flexitarianism...

0:06:190:06:21

-..that cuts down on the amount

-of meat someone eats.

0:06:220:06:26

-That's fine, it's no problem at all.

0:06:260:06:29

-We have to make sure we have another

-source of protein in the diet.

0:06:290:06:34

-I would say that the best advice...

0:06:340:06:38

-..is to buy meat that hasn't been

-processed, is low in fat...

0:06:390:06:43

-..and cook it at home.

0:06:430:06:45

-We know the quality

-of what we've bought...

0:06:450:06:48

-..and the quality of our meals.

0:06:480:06:50

-We shouldn't add

-more fat and salt to it.

0:06:510:06:53

-To appeal

-to the younger generation...

0:06:570:07:00

-..Meat Promotion Wales invited

-Chris Roberts to cook lamb...

0:07:000:07:04

-..using the asado method.

0:07:040:07:06

-Chris,

-tell us more about this asado.

0:07:090:07:13

-Asado is a way of cooking adopted

-by our ancestors in Patagonia.

0:07:130:07:19

-Iron cross,

-mountain lambs, on the fire.

0:07:190:07:22

-What's better than that?

0:07:230:07:24

-What are young people

-eating these days?

0:07:250:07:28

-I love putting these videos

-on Facebook.

0:07:280:07:31

-A lot of young people watch them.

0:07:310:07:33

-They send photos of the recipes

-they try - at least they're trying.

0:07:340:07:38

-I was at a festival

-with the asado...

0:07:390:07:42

-..and the youngsters

-were eating lamb for the first time.

0:07:420:07:46

-They don't know about it -

-that's the problem.

0:07:470:07:49

-As soon as they do, they go for it.

0:07:500:07:52

-We need to educate them

-about local produce.

0:07:520:07:55

-Wales has the best produce

-in the world.

0:07:550:07:57

-There's something social

-about asado cooking.

0:07:580:08:01

-It's not just about the food.

0:08:010:08:03

-We keep the fire going

-after the lamb's been cooked.

0:08:030:08:06

-Red wine, good music,

-what's better than that.

0:08:060:08:09

-Is this important?

0:08:090:08:11

-The wood is very important.

-You use seasoned hardwood for fuel.

0:08:110:08:16

-It gives the lamb

-a subtle smokiness.

0:08:160:08:19

-I have oak, beech and ash.

0:08:200:08:21

-In terms of the meat's

-nutritious value...

0:08:220:08:25

-..it's important

-to convey that message...

0:08:250:08:28

-..especially

-when it's not processed.

0:08:280:08:31

-Some people are claiming

-that red meat is bad for you...

0:08:310:08:35

-..but that's all down

-to processed meat.

0:08:350:08:38

-This isn't bad for you.

0:08:380:08:40

-This lamb breathed Welsh air

-and ate Welsh grass.

0:08:400:08:44

-The only thing I've missed so far

-is a taste of the meat.

0:08:450:08:49

-I'm so glad Meat Promotion Wales

-allowed me to cook this meat here.

0:08:490:08:54

-Wow, that just peels off the bone.

0:08:540:08:57

-When did you start cooking this?

0:08:580:08:59

-When did you start cooking this?

-

-It's been cooking for seven hours.

0:08:590:09:01

-When I serve it pink, it melts

-in the mouth with crackling.

0:09:010:09:06

-You can taste the depth of flavour.

0:09:060:09:08

-The smokiness is subtle

-but it's still there.

0:09:080:09:12

-What do you think of that?

0:09:120:09:13

-What do you think of that?

-

-Lovely. Thank you, chef.

0:09:130:09:15

-I'm not a chef.

-I just like cooking meat on fire.

0:09:160:09:19

-My eyes are red from being here

-all day but I love it.

0:09:190:09:23

-How often do you eat meat?

0:09:310:09:33

-Every lunchtime and suppertime

-usually. Sometimes I eat fish.

0:09:330:09:38

-I like every meat,

-pork, lamb and beef.

0:09:380:09:43

-Some people claim that we eat

-too much meat these days.

0:09:430:09:47

-I don't believe that.

0:09:470:09:49

-It's a good source of protein

-and keeps you going.

0:09:490:09:53

-It's expensive

-but you get what you pay for.

0:09:540:09:57

-If you want a good cut of meat,

-you'll have to pay for it.

0:09:570:10:01

-The customer has the final word.

0:10:070:10:09

-It's time for a break.

-We'll be back soon.

-Welcome back.

0:10:230:10:25

-I'm on Tyddyn Cae farm,

-Boduan, near Pwllheli.

0:10:250:10:28

-Traditionally a sheep farm

-but for the first time ever...

0:10:290:10:33

-..they've just started farming

-dairy cattle.

0:10:330:10:36

-I came here at the start of July

-when they were building.

0:10:360:10:41

-I've come back to see how

-the new enterprise is developing.

0:10:410:10:46

-We first visited Tyddyn Cae

-back in December 2008.

0:10:470:10:52

-Back then,

-Tomos and Hefina Evans...

0:10:520:10:55

-..were sheep farmers and tenants...

0:10:550:10:58

-..to Lord Newborough

-and the Glynllifon estate.

0:10:580:11:01

-They also ran the Daflod restaurant

-above the Fic in Llithfaen.

0:11:020:11:06

-Things have changed here.

0:11:070:11:09

-Within the last five years, they've

-bought the Whitehall in Pwllheli...

0:11:090:11:14

-..they've bought Tyddyn Cae

-which includes 250 acres...

0:11:150:11:19

-..and they've built

-two cattle sheds, one silage pit...

0:11:190:11:24

-..one slurry pit

-and a brand-new milking parlour.

0:11:250:11:29

-In the middle of the summer,

-builders and contractors were busy.

0:11:290:11:34

-Coordinating the project

-was Tomos.

0:11:340:11:37

-Things have moved ahead very

-quickly over the past few years.

0:11:380:11:42

-Remarkably so.

0:11:420:11:45

-We made the decision

-to buy the Whitehall.

0:11:450:11:48

-It took two years

-to draw up plans after buying it.

0:11:510:11:54

-We decided to make

-a major investment.

0:11:540:11:57

-It came with

-a substantial amount of risk...

0:11:570:12:00

-..looking back at it now.

0:12:020:12:04

-We were so enthusiastic.

0:12:040:12:06

-The business

-has worked and succeeded.

0:12:060:12:09

-We decided to make another

-investment after buying Tyddyn Cae.

0:12:090:12:13

-We wanted to modernise the farm

-to get the boys home.

0:12:150:12:19

-Why did you decide on dairy cattle?

0:12:200:12:22

-We drew up a business plan

-when we bought Tyddyn Cae.

0:12:230:12:26

-We took a serious look

-at the business.

0:12:260:12:31

-As we were, we had sheep and cattle.

0:12:330:12:35

-We could only sustain one family

-on Tyddyn Cae.

0:12:360:12:41

-In that respect, with the boys

-wanting to return home...

0:12:420:12:46

-..we had to look

-at how we could get them home.

0:12:470:12:52

-Milking, on paper,

-made the most financial sense.

0:12:520:12:57

-That's the only thing.

0:12:580:13:00

-We had to become more intensive.

0:13:000:13:03

-The boys had received some training.

0:13:030:13:06

-Gruffudd had been to Glynllifon...

0:13:070:13:09

-..and he spent some time

-in New Zealand.

0:13:110:13:14

-Ifan followed a degree course

-in Harper Adams.

0:13:140:13:17

-You felt that there was no point

-in training these boys...

0:13:180:13:22

-..if you couldn't offer them

-some work at home.

0:13:220:13:26

-What worked in our favour...

0:13:260:13:29

-..was the rise in the price of milk

-since we drew up the business plan.

0:13:290:13:34

-Things are going the right way

-for us.

0:13:350:13:38

-It's a 25-year investment. I have

-confidence that we can succeed.

0:13:380:13:43

-There are three children -

-Ifan, Morfudd and Gruffudd.

0:13:440:13:48

-Morfudd is a student in Cardiff.

0:13:480:13:51

-The sons are busy preparing

-for the new enterprise.

0:13:510:13:56

-How much of a decision was it

-to start dairy farming?

0:13:560:13:59

-We'd been thinking about it

-for many years.

0:13:590:14:03

-In the end, I think we made

-the correct decision.

0:14:050:14:08

-You were all agreed.

0:14:080:14:10

-Yes, we all made the decision.

0:14:100:14:12

-Was this the only way forward?

0:14:130:14:15

-That's what I think.

0:14:160:14:18

-I don't see a bright future

-for beef and sheep.

0:14:180:14:21

-You've had help from the Assembly.

0:14:220:14:24

-We were fortunate to receive help

-to start the enterprise.

0:14:240:14:28

-How difficult would it be

-to start something like this...

0:14:280:14:32

-..without financial help?

0:14:320:14:34

-It would be impossible.

-We'd have to re-assess many things.

0:14:340:14:39

-Most definitely, yes.

0:14:390:14:43

-You think this is the way forward.

0:14:430:14:45

-Yes, yes, there's no doubt about it.

0:14:450:14:49

-Tomos and the boys are busy day and

-night building the milking parlour.

0:14:500:14:55

-Hefina is in the kitchen

-of the Whitehall, Pwllheli.

0:14:550:14:59

-What have you been doing

-over the past nine years?

0:14:590:15:03

-How have things developed for you?

0:15:030:15:06

-After leaving the Daflod,

-we moved to Pwllheli.

0:15:060:15:09

-We bought a run-down pub

-in the middle of town.

0:15:100:15:15

-We made a big

-financial commitment to it...

0:15:160:15:20

-..to try and get it

-up to this standard.

0:15:200:15:23

-Here we are now, serving food.

0:15:230:15:25

-You're in your element

-in the kitchen.

0:15:260:15:29

-Most definitely, yes.

0:15:290:15:31

-Tomos and the children were

-supportive in the first few years.

0:15:320:15:37

-We hope we can support them

-while they're busy milking.

0:15:380:15:44

-No regrets?

0:15:440:15:46

-No regrets?

-

-Not yet!

0:15:460:15:48

-They aren't diversifying

-on Tyddyn Cae farm.

0:15:490:15:52

-It's a business development

-for the future.

0:15:520:15:56

-The decision to start milking

-was made before the Brexit vote.

0:15:560:16:01

-The result

-has caused some concern...

0:16:020:16:04

-..but Tomos believes

-he's on the right track...

0:16:040:16:08

-..even in a world without subsidies.

0:16:080:16:11

-It strengthens our decision.

0:16:120:16:14

-We have to consider life

-after Brexit.

0:16:140:16:17

-I don't think we'll have

-many subsidies after Brexit.

0:16:180:16:24

-After securing a milk contract

-with Glanbia on Anglesey...

0:16:250:16:29

-..and after months of hard work...

0:16:290:16:32

-..the milking parlour is ready

-and the milk is flowing.

0:16:320:16:36

-Everyone has settled in

-to the new routine.

0:16:360:16:40

-Well, Ifan, you've started milking

-and everything's going well for you.

0:16:400:16:45

-Yes, everything is going well.

0:16:460:16:48

-There are a few small problems

-but we're getting through them.

0:16:500:16:54

-The milk market

-favours you at the moment.

0:16:540:16:57

-We receive 35/36p per litre.

0:16:580:17:01

-We've started at a favourable time.

0:17:010:17:05

-What price had you put

-in your business plan?

0:17:070:17:10

-We based our business plan on 25p.

0:17:100:17:14

-It's helped us out greatly.

0:17:140:17:16

-We're receiving

-a very fair price right now.

0:17:170:17:22

-More importantly, Ifan,

-are you enjoying it?

0:17:220:17:26

-Yes, I wouldn't be doing it

-if I didn't enjoy it.

0:17:260:17:29

-I find it easy

-getting up in the morning.

0:17:300:17:32

-The hours are long

-but I take great enjoyment from it.

0:17:330:17:37

-Here we are, Tomos. It's worked.

0:17:370:17:42

-Yes, we're finally in.

0:17:420:17:44

-We took our time to get them in.

0:17:440:17:46

-We were rather fortunate

-with the weather.

0:17:460:17:49

-210 cattle are milked every day.

0:17:490:17:54

-Yes.

0:17:540:17:55

-That was part of our business plan

-and we've realised it.

0:17:550:18:00

-Are you happy with your world...

0:18:010:18:03

-..or are there other challenges

-ahead for you?

0:18:030:18:06

-No, we're relatively happy

-as we are right now.

0:18:060:18:11

-There's some construction work to do

-but it doesn't affect the milking.

0:18:110:18:15

-More importantly,

-the money's coming in.

0:18:160:18:19

-Are you confident about the future

-of the dairy industry?

0:18:190:18:23

-Yes,

-I'm glad we made this decision now.

0:18:250:18:30

-Of all the sectors available to us

-in the farming industry...

0:18:300:18:35

-..I think this is

-the strongest sector.

0:18:360:18:42

-We will face challenges

-from Brexit...

0:18:420:18:46

-..but I'm confident

-the business will succeed.

0:18:460:18:50

-Three weeks ago,

-I joined two young farmers...

0:18:530:18:56

-..who'd started keeping pigs

-as part of a Menter a Busnes scheme.

0:18:570:19:01

-They are Naomi Nicholas

-and Cennydd Jones.

0:19:010:19:04

-I'm at the Winter Fair...

0:19:040:19:06

-..to see them competing

-in the carcass competition.

0:19:060:19:10

-Menter Moch Cymru is funded by

-the Rural Development Programme.

0:19:120:19:18

-It was established to help

-and develop the Welsh pig sector.

0:19:180:19:23

-There are around 25,000 pigs

-in Wales.

0:19:230:19:26

-They produce 3,200 tonnes of pork

-annually.

0:19:260:19:30

-The aim is to increase

-the Welsh herd.

0:19:300:19:33

-The experience of attending

-the Winter Fair is important.

0:19:330:19:37

-It's a great chance

-to receive feedback from judges.

0:19:380:19:42

-Well, Cennydd,

-the big day has arrived.

0:19:420:19:45

-How many pigs are entered

-into this competition?

0:19:450:19:48

-Four of us were fortunate enough

-to be in the competition...

0:19:490:19:53

-..and I knew the four of us could

-enter a pig each in the competition.

0:19:530:19:58

-Myself, Naomi, Ffion and Kim have

-entered a pig in the competition.

0:19:590:20:03

-Did you see the carcass

-before it was judged?

0:20:030:20:06

-No, it was midday today before

-I arrived at the showground.

0:20:060:20:11

-That's when I saw my carcass

-for the first time.

0:20:110:20:15

-It was an interesting experience.

0:20:150:20:18

-I don't usually see

-the finished product.

0:20:180:20:21

-When I last spoke to you, you said

-you were holding the pig back...

0:20:210:20:26

-..because you felt

-it was growing too big.

0:20:260:20:29

-That's the mistake I made.

0:20:290:20:31

-I've compared my carcass

-with the others.

0:20:320:20:35

-I think I held it back too much.

0:20:350:20:37

-You can see that

-in the depth of the loin.

0:20:370:20:39

-It's not as good as the other pigs.

0:20:400:20:42

-It takes a long time

-to inspect and mark each carcass.

0:20:420:20:46

-Marks are awarded

-for different elements.

0:20:460:20:49

-Glyn Davies from Denbigh

-is one of the judges.

0:20:490:20:52

-Happy with the competition, Glyn?

0:20:530:20:55

-It's a good competition

-even though only four competed.

0:20:550:21:00

-What were the characteristics

-of the top two?

0:21:000:21:03

-I went with what I would want

-to sell in my shop.

0:21:030:21:06

-It was a Welsh pig.

0:21:060:21:09

-It was a sow.

0:21:090:21:10

-It had a good length, and an

-excellent shape for a Welsh pig.

0:21:110:21:15

-Very nice. I like Cennydd's pig.

0:21:150:21:19

-It was another Welsh pig.

-It had a good length.

0:21:190:21:22

-For me, it was a boar and I try

-not to sell those in the shop.

0:21:220:21:26

-The quality on the plate

-is a little inferior.

0:21:260:21:30

-Naomi entered a black pig

-in the competition.

0:21:300:21:34

-A traditional Large Black pig.

0:21:350:21:37

-It was a little too fat.

0:21:380:21:41

-That's what they're like, you have

-to slaughter them when it's time.

0:21:410:21:46

-It's a niche market,

-the traditional pigs.

0:21:460:21:49

-Not everyone wants them.

0:21:490:21:51

-Constructive criticism

-from the judge...

0:21:520:21:55

-..but did Cennydd learn anything

-from competing at the Winter Fair?

0:21:550:22:01

-I was third today.

0:22:010:22:03

-I looked at the other carcasses

-and it was a fair result.

0:22:030:22:06

-The top two had more weight on them

-and a better shape.

0:22:070:22:10

-I've learnt a lot

-from the competition.

0:22:100:22:14

-It's my first time but not my last.

0:22:150:22:17

-How confident were you

-of victory here today?

0:22:170:22:20

-I didn't know what to expect.

0:22:210:22:23

-I've never done anything like this

-before. It turned out well.

0:22:230:22:27

-The carcasses were sold later

-in the day.

0:22:290:22:32

-The hope was to invest any profit

-back into the business.

0:22:320:22:38

-Cennydd secured the best price

-of the four.

0:22:380:22:41

-His Welsh pig sold for 260.

0:22:410:22:44

-Ffion received 220, Kim 200...

0:22:440:22:49

-..and Naomi 160.

0:22:500:22:52

-That's it for this week.

0:22:550:22:57

-It's nice to say

-that we live at a time...

0:22:570:23:00

-..where young people

-can try something new.

0:23:000:23:03

-We know we'll have to be flexible

-for what awaits us in the future.

0:23:030:23:08

-For this week,

-from myself and the Ffermio crew...

0:23:080:23:12

-..thanks for your company

-and goodbye to you all.
