-England has benefited from levies -paid for Welsh red meat. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
-Is there a compromise? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
-It's certainly a step -in the right direction. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
-That levy will be earmarked -for four or five events. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:22 | |
-Also on the programme, -advice for sheep farmers... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-..about an infectious disease. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
-When you find the disease in your -herd, you must tell your neighbours. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
-What was the standard -of the potentials in Brecon? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
-In this corner, this is a show -that attracts farmers from Scotland. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:46 | |
-Standards are extremely high. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
-Positive news for -Meat Promotion Wales last week... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-..as they, along with meat marketing -bodies in Scotland and England... | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
-..agreed a programme worth 2m which -will benefit red meat producers. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
-This agreement has developed as the -three countries have continued... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
-..to search for a long-term solution -about how the levy is collected. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:20 | |
-Welsh farmers pay a levy -to Meat Promotion Wales... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-..to promote their produce. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-63p a head for sheep and lambs... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-..4.34 for cattle... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-..and 1.05 for pigs. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-The abattoirs add to the levy. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-At the moment, if Welsh stock -is slaughtered in England... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
-..the levy is collected by AHDB even -when an animal is reared in Wales. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
-The same is true of Scotland. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-Meat Promotion Wales estimate -that they lose 1m a year... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
-..through the current agreement. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-1.1m sheep, -160,000 cattle and 45,000 pigs... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:04 | |
-..cross the border -to English abattoirs every year. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-One reason for this is -the shortage of abattoirs in Wales. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-We collect about 4m -from abattoirs in Wales... | 0:02:14 | 0:02:20 | |
-..from Welsh farmers -and Welsh abattoirs. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-On top of that, we have -a smaller number of abattoirs... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:30 | |
-..to cope with the number -of animals we have... | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-..since farmers have a right -to send their stock... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-..to any part of Great Britain. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-The problem we've faced -for many years... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-..is that the levy paid -by Welsh farmers... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-..often stays in England -and is spent in England... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:53 | |
-..on behalf of the English industry. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-We've found a temporary solution. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
-2m from AHDB in England -has been set aside. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-That 2m is agreed and spent jointly -by Scotland, Wales and England... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:14 | |
-..for the good of British farmers. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-It's a step in the right direction. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-That levy, that money will be -earmarked for four or five events. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:32 | |
-Why has it taken so long -for Wales to benefit... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
-..from the levy paid -for stock slaughtered in England? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-It's been frustrating. -It's taken a long time. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-We haven't reached -journey's end yet... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-..but it's definitely a step -in the right direction. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-We need a law -which allows those countries... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-..to introduce the money -back into those countries... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-..giving England the right -to give money back to Wales... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-..Scotland back to England -and Wales back to Scotland. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-We want a legal right -to share the money... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-..in a manner that's fair -to reflect the industry... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-..and where the animals were reared. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-I think there's a chance -to get that law passed... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-..over the next few months -since so many laws... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-..are going through Westminster -because of Brexit. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-The money will be invested... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-..in international shows -and export events... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-..access to markets, -preparation for Brexit... | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-..health, environment and research. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-Campaigns have been drawn up -that will begin in April. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
-Some of the 2m agreed between -the three countries will be used. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:54 | |
-Those strong campaigns -will promote lamb, beef and pork... | 0:04:54 | 0:05:02 | |
-..as part of a balanced diet... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-..which appeals to a large -proportion of the population. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
-We have plenty to be positive about. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-We have to promote -these positive messages. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-Meat is an important source -of protein... | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-..it's high in minerals -and vitamins... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-..which are difficult to find -in other produce. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-So, after 15 years.. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-..Wales can claim -some of the levy money back. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-The money will be used to promote -Welsh red meat. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:48 | |
-Next, we join Alun who has news... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-..about one of the most -infectious sheep diseases. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-As a sheep farmer myself... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-..I know how difficult it is to keep -sheep healthy and clear of disease. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
-One of the biggest concerns -at this time of year is mange. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-A recent report -from Bristol University claims... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-..that cases have increased 100% -since 1992. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-Psoroptes ovis causes mange -in sheep. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
-It lives on the skin and its faeces -causes an allergic reaction... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
-..leading to itching. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-Without treatment, -sheep eventually stop grazing... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
-..and this leads to a significant -deterioration in their condition. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-Dafydd Jones has seen -the effects of this disease. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-He's a director at -the Ystwyth Surgery in Aberystwyth. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-It's a problem across the country... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-..but some areas -are worse than others. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-It's something that we often see. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-Once it's in a herd, -it can spread like wildfire. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-It spreads quickly. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-It takes between a fortnight -and a month... | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-..for a sheep to show the symptoms. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-It's contagious from the minute -she picks it up. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-The harm has already been done. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-When you see sheep itching... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
-..the mange might have -been there for a month. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-It's easy enough -for a sheep to mix with other sheep. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-And it can live away from the sheep -for a period of time. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-It's been proven that it can live -away from the sheep for 17 days... | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-..on small pieces of wool, -in a trailer or on a fence. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:40 | |
-That is possible. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-You must consider that -when you treat the herd. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-Do they go back to a field -where they've been? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-If so, treatment should last -a little longer. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-In terms of treatment, -there are numerous options. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-Is one more effective? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
-Is one more effective? - -There are two main options. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
-Dipping is still an option, -the OP dip. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-You can also use drugs -and inject the sheep. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-There are two or three drugs -in that group. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-They have their strengths and -weaknesses, not all suit everyone. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
-Only sheep contract mange. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-Hugh Tudor, Tynberllan, Llanilar -keeps thousands of sheep. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:25 | |
-It's important for him -to keep the disease away. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-In an area which has seen more cases -over the past few years... | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-..how difficult is this to do? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-I had a problem here -four years ago... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-..when I bought some sheep. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-We spotted the mange -when the sheep had a ram. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-It was a difficult time. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
-You don't want to interfere -with the sheep at that time... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
-..but we had to do something -about it. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-We injected all the sheep -and thought that was that... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-..but if you miss one sheep, -the problem is still there. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
-We brought the sheep in -during January... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-..and they started itching again. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-We injected Ivermectin -for a second time on all the sheep. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-We still couldn't get rid of it. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-The only way -we could get rid of it... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-..was by dipping -the sheep and lambs in April. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
-Do you have any idea -how much that cost you? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-It cost me thousands of pounds. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-With figures showing a rise -in cases... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-..and an estimated 8m being spent -by farmers on cases... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
-..what's the way forward -for dealing with the problem? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-When you find the disease in your -herd, you must tell your neighbours. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:49 | |
-They can decide -whether to treat their sheep or not. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-It might not have spread next door -but it's important to let them know. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-Sometimes, -it jumps from one farm to another. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-Often, financial help will tempt -a farmer to adopt a plan. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-Is there a free testing scheme -available to them? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-There is a free testing scheme -available in Carmarthen. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
-They'll test a wool sample -for free... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-..to see if it's been infected. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-That runs until the end of March. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-I'd encourage everyone -to take part in it... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-..and contact their vet -to take it further. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-Discussion groups -have been formed... | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-..under the Farming Connect -or Agriscope banners. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-Local action groups have been formed -but is that enough? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-D'you know what? It's hard to -get farmers to agree, very hard. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
-It is possible but you need someone -to take the bull by the horns... | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-..and do something about it. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-It's becoming a bigger problem. -It's not something you want to see. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-It's very uncomfortable. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
-If a sheep is itching, it's wrong. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-It's about time we did something -about it ourselves. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-That's all for Part 1. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-After the break, -we join Meinir and the cattle... | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-..in the Show Potential in Brecon. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |

-Despite the fact -that it's grey and wet outside... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
-..here in Brecon, dozens of people -are preparing their cattle... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
-..for an event that marks -a notable milestone. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-It's the tenth -Brecon Show Potential. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-The shed is packed with 99 cattle -waiting for the judges. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
-One family vying -for the main prize is the Havards. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-Alun visited their farm to see -the last-minute preparations. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
-Behind every animal -exhibited at a show... | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-..there are months of preparation - -washing, trimming and leading. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:17 | |
-That enthusiasm is transferred -down the generations... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
-..and contributes to the success -of the Brecon Show Potential. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
-Here on Cwmbrynich Farm -near Sennybridge... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-..Howell Havard and his family live. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
-He farms here in partnership -with his brothers. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Well, Howell, tell us a little about -the farm and your cattle system. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
-We have almost 600 acres. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-We keep 1,200 sheep, 100 cattle. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
-These are just starting to calve. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-I hope we'll complete calving -over the next two months. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-You have a limited time for calving. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-Does that mean you only sell -once a year? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-All the income -must come at the same time. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-Everything goes in a two-week period -in the middle of October... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-..and the start of November. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
-There are two sales -and between 40-50 go to both sales. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-Then the sheds are empty. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-There is one special cow in the herd -heading to the show. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
-This nine-month-old heifer -is called Chocolate Brownie. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-Megan, Howell's daughter, has been -helping with the preparation work. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
-Tell us more about this one. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
-One sunny day, -we travelled down to Carmarthen... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
-..to see what was being sold -in the market. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-We saw this one in the pen. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-She looked good, -she had potential... | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-..so we bought her. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-How much work have you done with -her? What preparation have you done? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
-Initially, we put her -with another cow and calf. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:13 | |
-She came on well. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-Then we decided to increase -her feed to see how she got on. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:24 | |
-And then, in December, -during the bad weather... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
-..we started to lead her -and get her ready for the show. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
-You said 'we'. Have you been -leading her or is that Dad's job? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
-Dad started her on the halter. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
-We washed her every night -for five days... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
-..and towelled her down. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-Washing her is an important part -of taming her... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-..as well as lifting the hair. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
-When we wash her, -it increases the trust between us. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
-It helps them relax -when we're leading them. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
-When we wash them, -with cold water especially... | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-..it helps the coat to grow. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
-For the final preparation -on the day, what's left to do... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
-..before you take her on the day? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-We'll trim her. -We get someone in to do that. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-Someone local who trims -all the cattle around here. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-It's all in his hands now -to make sure she looks nice. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
-Do you have a price in mind? -What are your hopes? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
-Of course, you have to -make a profit on an animal. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
-You put in a lot of work -and invest a lot of time and money. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-You must make sure it pays off -in the end. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-We'll put a price on her -before she goes through. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-You'll be hoping for a card too. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-You gain a lot of experience -when you take them in... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-..but winning a card -would be a bonus. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-The preparations are done -before the big day. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-All they need now -is a little luck... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-..a good judge -and deep pockets from the buyers. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
-Megan, you're here. What's your -timetable for the rest of the day? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-I'll have to go to work -before long... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-..but Dad will phone me -to tell me the result. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
-The standard is very high today -so we're just hoping for a good day. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:53 | |
-We'll catch up -with the Havards later. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-Let's go back to the show's title - -Show Potentials. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-What does it mean? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-Simply put, -they're cattle that show potential. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-They're 5-12 months old and often -they'll shine in our shows... | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
-..over the next year. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
-The buyers are under plenty -of pressure to choose wisely. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
-We left Anglesey before 6.00am. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-We know there are some good cattle -in this area. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-What we've seen is promising. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-It's an opportunity to make -more money on premium calves... | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
-..on top of your normal -suckler herd. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-It's profitable -if you have a good day. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-I can't see how it can get better. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-The perfect animal -hasn't been born... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-..but everyone is striving -for that special one. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-In this corner, this is a show -that attracts farmers from Scotland. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:59 | |
-Standards are extremely high. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
-You need to visit an event like this -to know what you have at home. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
-This is an excellent shop window -for the beef industry... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
-..but with Britain only 75% -self-sufficient in beef... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-..and with Brexit on the horizon... | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-..is there even more potential -for the sector? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
-Right now, you have to be very keen -in the beef sector. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:40 | |
-What we get right now -is the market price. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-The only way we can -improve the price we receive... | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-..is to be keen enough -not to make a loss. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-Unfortunately, however good we are, -there are losses. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-Can farmers do more? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
-Can farmers do more? - -There's always more. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-I don't think farmers have ever -promoted their products well enough. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:06 | |
-There are people out there -who are very experienced marketers. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:12 | |
-We've always accepted, whether we're -selling milk, beef or anything... | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
-..once it's left the farm -we forget about it. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
-In the future, whatever happens... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-..we have to draw -a positive picture of agriculture. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
-By playing with people's emotions... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-..we'll succeed -in selling our products. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-Let's return to the competition. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
