-Welcome to the programme -where we'll be discussing change. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
-Before we leave -the European Union... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
-..Brexit is casting a shadow -over all our lives. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-That was the catalyst -to last week's announcement... | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
-..for a plan -to boost the future of rural Wales. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
-Also on the programme, we find out -how drama is a powerful weapon... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
-..to interpret the changes -in farmers' lives following Brexit. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
-Daloni talks to the NFU's -Livestock Champion Award Winner... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-..about the changes -farmers face in the future. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-Last week, the rural development -forum for Mid and West Wales... | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
-..published a report -asking for a strategy... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
-..to ensure the success -of the rural economy. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
-What does that mean for farmers? -Meinir has the answers. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
-Baroness Eluned Morgan has called -on the Welsh Government... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
-..to create an economic strategy -for rural Wales... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-..to respond to the challenges -of Brexit and the city regions... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
-..but how practical are these calls? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-The report has six headlines -for rural Wales. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
-Infrastructure. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-Skills and production. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-Business growth. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
-Promoting food, -farming and forestry. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-Local jobs provided -for local people. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-Realising the potential of tourism. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-It was crucial for us -to publish this report now... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-..because the Welsh Government -will publish... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
-..its national economic -development plan... | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-..within the next month. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
-It was important -to publish this report... | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-..to influence their ideas about -how they will develop their plan. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-The Common Agricultural Policy -ends in Britain in 18 months' time. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-We have to react to that -and prepare for that time. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-This will have an effect on farming -and rural communities in general. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
-In addition to that, in Wales... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-..there are already plans in -our cities to develop the economy. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
-There's no plan for rural areas -at the moment... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-..so it's important -we start preparing. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-Do you think the Government -is doing enough? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-The European Union -are currently responsible... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-..for developing the rural economy. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-A rural development plan -already exists but that will end. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-It was important for me -to look beyond farming. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-But farming -is the heart of rural areas. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-Farming is important to rural areas, -of course it is... | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-..but tourism is also important. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Without farmers, there's no tourism. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-I don't want to get involved -in that debate. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-We have to work together - we can't -have a battle in rural areas. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
-The problem for me is the fact that -our food will have huge tariffs... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:33 | |
-..especially on Welsh lamb -and Welsh beef. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-If that happens, we will struggle -to sell to markets in Europe. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:44 | |
-We must look at our own markets. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-79m people in this country -eat ready meals weekly. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:55 | |
-We must ensure that we can add value -to our food in Wales. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:03 | |
-We need to generate jobs -in rural areas. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-We shouldn't export our food -unless we've processed it ourselves. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
-Some already do that -but we need to do a lot, lot more. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-Penri James, an IBERS lecturer -in Aberystwyth University... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..is aware of the strengths and -weaknesses of European subsidies... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-..and the Government's support -to rural Wales. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
-What's his view on -the recommendations of this report? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-These are troubled times... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-..for rural economies and farming -as we leave the European Union. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:43 | |
-Having a debate on the topics -raised in the report is welcomed. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
-This will contribute -to the wider debate. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-We must define -what the countryside produces. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-Does it produce food, -does it produce energy... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-..or does it produce -the environment? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-That forms part of -the Government's discussions... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-..and the decisions -that need to be made. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-In addition to all this... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-..we're not clear -which policies we'll have... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-..in rural areas in the future. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
-We need an open, public debate -about this. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-Does the report suggest that -the Government hasn't supported... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
-..the countryside up to now? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-We can be critical -in numerous ways. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-There was an eagerness -to sign city deals... | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-..but there's no eagerness -to sign rural deals. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-That's a point that's raised -in the report itself. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-Maybe not in those terms... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-..they want a better relationship -between city and rural deals... | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-..but the countryside should have -the same priority as the city. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
-We don't have a big population but -we still need a good infrastructure. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
-Electricity, roads, -fast broadband and everything else. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
-Does this report provide some hope -for the countryside? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
-Let's not be too negative. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-Rural Wales has some -wonderful characteristics. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-It's important -that we sell those characteristics. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-It's somewhere that attracts -a lot of tourists... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-..and it's also somewhere -that produces high quality food. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-It's important we look at what's -good and sell it across the world... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
-..and make sure -that we generate income streams... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:44 | |
-..for the rural economy. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-You suggested the possibility -of appointing a commissioner. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-How much power -would that commissioner have? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
-This is something the -Welsh Government has to discuss. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-What's important to me -is that the mind-set in Cardiff... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
-..understands that the answers -to North and South Wales... | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
-..aren't necessarily the same -answers needed for rural Wales. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
-They must be aware -that when they develop policies... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-..the answers might be different -for rural areas. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-That's the role of the commissioner. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-We need to continue -this economic plan... | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-..and emphasise that people in -rural Wales must push this agenda... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:39 | |
-..and that it's not something -we develop from Cardiff. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-We've heard the thoughts -of one politician... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-..about the possibilities -of rural development in Wales. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
-How do people feel -beyond the farming industry? | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-I'm visiting the Sherman Theatre -in Cardiff... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-..to meet a dramatist who wrote -a film based on the thoughts... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-..of one farmer -and the effect of Brexit on him. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-..shocked Leave farmers realise -too late where subsidies come from. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-BEEP | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-The Guardian asked Gary Owen -to write a short film... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-..to respond to Brexit -from a location in Wales. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-He was inspired to follow the story -of someone in the world of farming. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
-I come from a farming background. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-My family are farmers. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-After the Brexit vote, -I saw people posting things... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-..about farmers voting for Brexit... | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-..and only now realising -where their subsidies come from. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-A lot of these people worked in -the public sector, maybe in arts... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-..and in different contexts... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-..they complain about the paperwork -needed to secure public funding. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:17 | |
-They know they don't get -funding for nothing... | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-..while at the same time -they claim farmers don't know... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
-..the source of their subsidies. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-I thought it was ridiculous. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-This film -was an opportunity to respond. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-How difficult was it -to get it made in Welsh? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-I see the Guardian as being -a London-centric paper. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
-They asked me if I could do -something from Wales. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-I asked them -if I could do it in Welsh. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-"No, absolutely no chance." | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-I was 50/50 wanting to do it -in Welsh or English. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
-When they said no, I decided -it would have to be done in Welsh. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
-They replied, "Actually, -you have to do it in English." | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-I said, "Thanks, but no, thanks." | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-The following day they phoned and -said, "You can do it in Welsh." | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-With subtitles, this marvellous -thing they'd discovered! | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-Interestingly for me... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
-..you chose a dairy farm. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-What inspired you to do that? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
-To me, Brexit will greatly -affect the sheep market. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-They will lose entire markets. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
-It just struck me that Tesco -and other supermarkets... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
-..paid less than it actually cost -to produce the milk. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
-I was thinking -about this idea of subsidies. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-Who's working for nothing? -Who's subsidising who? | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-The farmers subsidise everyone -who drinks milk. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
-It's difficult sometimes, -when you listen to people... | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-..worried about the environment -and carbon emissions... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-..but they're not willing -to pay more for milk... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-..that's produced locally. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-Some of the farmers I met... | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-..they felt that maybe -we'd lost perspective... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-..on how much it costs to produce -food of a high standard... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
-..the food we want to eat, -the premium organic produce... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:13 | |
-..and how much it costs. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-Throughout the film, -there's an undertone of frustration. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
-It's quite sad at times, almost -heart-breaking about the future. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:27 | |
-What inspired that? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
-We have a family farm in -Pembrokeshire, outside Narberth. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
-We're likely to lose it. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-My uncle farms there now. There's -no-one in the family to follow him. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
-It's likely it'll be sold. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-My cousins have fond memories -of growing up on that farm... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-..helping with the harvest, -jumping on the trailer... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-..getting the grain into the sacks. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-Our children won't have -the privilege to do the same. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-It's very sad. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
-..it doesn't feel like -my country anymore. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-Time for a break. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-In Part 2 we turn from drama -to the reality of farming... | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-..as Daloni meets a determined -farmer on the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-See you soon. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |

-We're ten years behind the rest -of the world in beef production... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
-..according to one farmer. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-Harri Parri was the 2016 NFU Cymru's -Livestock Champion Award Winner. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
-He believes we have a lot of work -to do to catch up with America. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
-Daloni met him on his farm -in Sarn Mellteyrn. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-Harri Parri is 31 years old. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-He farms in partnership -with his parents. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-They have three farms, -Bodnithoedd near Botwnnog... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-..Maesog neat Clynnog Fawr -and Crugeran in Sarn. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-There are 700 acres in all... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-..500 cattle... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
-..and over 800 sheep. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-All the cattle are Stabilisers, -a breed rooted in America. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
-There are 35,000 in Britain. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-The performance of 9,000 of them -is recorded... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-..and they're all part -of the multiplier herds. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-Crugeran Farm -is one of those multipliers. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
-My father was here first, -at the end of the '90s. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-He had models for suckler cows -influenced by the Holstein cow. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
-Those weren't sustainable. The -quality of cow was deteriorating. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-He wanted a suckler cow -that would improve every year. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-He wanted to keep suckler cows... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-..without relying -on the single farm payment. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-The Stabiliser Cattle Company, -the SCC, sets all the rules. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-We have a contract to breed cattle. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-They're responsible -for getting the embryos over to us. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
-We're responsible -for breeding and recording them. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
-They help promote the breed... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-..and find sales -for pedigree cattle. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-Everything that goes from here -leaves the farm. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-We don't take breeding cattle -to the marts. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-There's a set price for bulls -and heifers, whatever their ages. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:05 | |
-That works out well for us. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-What's the ratio for the cattle? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-How much do they eat, -how do they kill out? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-As a rule of thumb, for every 6kgs -of dry matter the animal eats... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
-..it'll put on a kilo in weight. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-The best Stabiliser cattle we breed -have a 4:1 ratio. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
-It's 30% cheaper -to breed these cattle... | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-..than it is to breed others, -on average. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-We keep the calves from the bulls. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
-It'll take a few generations -for the herd to average out at 4:1. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:48 | |
-Are we behind the times -in this country? | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
-Yes, most definitely. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-They say we're 10 years behind. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-The chain in America is far more -efficient compared to this country. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-There are question marks -over their feed lots system... | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-..but at the end of the day... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-..they produce meat that's the same -quality in appearance and taste. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
-The taste -is the most important aspect. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
-We've lost that in this country, -for various reasons. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-Maybe that's why consumption drops -every year. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
-These cattle are a combination -of many breeds... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-..but since 2014, the Stabiliser -has been acknowledged... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-..as a stand alone breed since it's -possible to trace its bloodline. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
-This is the fastest growing breed -in Britain for the past five years. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
-Its numbers have grown -by almost 65%. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
-In terms of cattle, -what's the calving pattern? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
-We have two separate herds, cattle -don't move from one to the other... | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
-..apart from the bulls. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-One herd calves in the spring... | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-..in a block -from the end of March until May. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-How many are in that herd? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-How many are in that herd? - -About 120. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-90 have been calving -over the last fortnight. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-There's a six-week gap... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-..from when the bull goes from -the spring herd to the summer herd. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
-Why do you do it like that? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-It's how we've done it since the -1990s with the cross dairy cattle. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
-Those that missed out -during the spring.. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-..we'd keep them on -until the end of the year... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-..and they would calve -in September and October. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-Since we switched to the Stabiliser, -the cattle are more fertile... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
-..we've been able -to bring them forward... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-..and give them a bull -in September, October. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-That helps with the cash flow -of the business... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-..especially with the block calving, -everything is sold at the same time. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
-Having two herds helps us -with the cash flow. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
-We can keep more cattle too. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-If we only calved in springtime, -we'd only keep about 170-180. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
-We can keep a touch over 200 -as we are now. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-It's a closed herd here -in Crugeran. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
-It's entirely closed - -we don't buy anything in. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
-The bull embryos come from America. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
-You mentioned buying embryos. Do -they come with their own problems? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
-Or have the problems been rectified -before they reach you? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-I don't think anything is perfect -or we'd all be happy in no time. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:47 | |
-We'll never get anywhere without -evolving and moving the goalposts... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:52 | |
-..to try and improve the herd. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-Something goes wrong all the time, -empty cows and still birth calves. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
-60 acres of barley is grown here... | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
-..20 acres o swedes for the sheep... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-..five acres of fodder beets -and 15 acres of oats. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-In addition to the Stabilisers, -there are 300 Lleyn sheep... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
-..and 550 New Zealand Suffolk -cross Lleyn sheep. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-This is Maesog. We're about -45 minutes from home by car. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
-It goes from 850 to 1,500, all -the way to 1,600 right at the top. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:36 | |
-The land improves as you go higher. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-Yes. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-There are some less fertile -acres here... | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-..which are suitable -for dry cattle and sheep... | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
-..which don't produce anything. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-During the most productive times -of the year... | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-..we use land -on the Lleyn Peninsula and here... | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
-..for the stock -that's rearing or flushing. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-We use the less favourable land -for the dry cattle and sheep. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:10 | |
-There's a tight schedule. -Everything has to work on time. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
-When you have to go, you have to go. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
-Yes, yes. We don't push and push -and keep them until they're 40kgs. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
-If they're 35kgs and fat, -they're within the required spec. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
-We send the lambs to Waitrose. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-I get the feeling -that you're a cattle farmer... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-..who also keeps sheep. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
-Yes, more or less. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-My father and grandfather -always favoured cattle to sheep. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
-We've done well -from the sheep over the years... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
-..but we benefit from what -the cattle give back to the land... | 0:21:58 | 0:22:05 | |
-..in terms of manure. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-We use the sheep to graze the land -where cattle can't graze... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-..on the winter pasture -we grow on Lleyn. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
-This stock is the way forward. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-For us. We are where we are now -with the Stabiliser cattle. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:27 | |
-Who knows what's around the corner -but we'll stick with them for now. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
-Will we see the Stabilisers -in the Royal Welsh? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
-I don't think so. They're not for -shows. They're for making a profit! | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
-That's all for this week. Whatever -changes, we'll be back next week. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:57 | |
-Until then, from myself -and the crew, cheerio. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
