0:01:47 > 0:01:50- What did you see in the field?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- It was Tuesday night, about 3.30.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I was in the fields - and I saw a dead sheep.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- I walked on - and found another dead sheep.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- When I saw the sixth carcass, - I turned around...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- ..and 50 yards away, I saw the lynx.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- What did you think had happened - at the time?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- I didn't know what had happened - until I saw the lynx.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- There was little evidence - to see on the sheep.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- When I looked at them closely...
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- ..I could see the same bite mark - under the throat.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- How close to the house - were the sheep that were killed?
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- The closest sheep - was within 200 yards to the zoo.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- The furthest sheep - were about half a mile away.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- They were close to the village - of Glanwern.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- The council, - the police and the Assembly...
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- ..haven't acknowledged - that the lynx killed the sheep.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- The post-mortem - didn't make it clear...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- ..whether a dog or lynx - killed the sheep.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Was this your first experience?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Was this your first experience?- - I've never lost a sheep to a dog...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- ..or any other animal.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Many traps had been set - for the lynx in the vicinity...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- ..but following many attempts - to catch it...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- ..Ceredigion Council - decided to destroy the lynx...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- ..when it was spotted - in a residential area.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Ceredigion Council turned - down our request for an interview...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- ..but they made a statement.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- A post-mortem was carried out - on one of the sheep that died...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- ..on land - close to the Wild Animal Kingdom.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- The report confirmed - that there was evidence...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- ..of a traumatic injury - to the throat.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- There were no other cases - of multiple deaths...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- ..in such a short space of time.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- The sheep's cause of death - was not established...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- ..but there was evidence of trauma.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- But the cause of death - wasn't determined.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- Dr Paul O'Donoghue, Chief Scientific - Advisor of the Lynx UK Trust...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- ..thinks farmers' fears - are unfounded.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- I've seen the reports and the - evidence about the lynx attack.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- It doesn't look like a lynx - was responsible...
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- ..for those eight sheep deaths.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Lynx will kill once - and eat the carcass.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- It's biologically unprecedented - for it to kill eight in a night.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- What the death of the lynx at Borth - has shown...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- ..is that people weren't happy - that it was shot.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Rob Davies thinks that destroying - the animal was an over-reaction.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- He's treated a number of different - animals, including lynx.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- I don't think there was a need - to destroy the lynx.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- It was reared by people, - it wouldn't be scared of people.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- Someone could have got close enough - to shoot a dart...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- ..sedate it and carry it home.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Was it a danger to people?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- There's no evidence to show - that they attack people...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- ..unless you corner them.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- That's when they attack.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- The UK Lynx Trust - is to re-introduce the animal...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- ..to Northumberland and Scotland.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- By extending this to Wales...
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- ..it would be met with opposition - from sheep farmers...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- ..especially after the events - at Borth.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- There's a reason why lynx - were driven out of this country...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- ..a thousand years ago.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- They caused pain - and financial losses to people.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- It'll happen again.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- We understand that farmers are - concerned that lynx will come back.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- We have to go back - to the scientific facts.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Across Europe, - scientific data shows...
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- ..the kill rate - is 0.4 sheep per lynx per year.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- A lynx kills a sheep - every two and a half years.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- No-one can say - that's a major threat to livestock.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- The background mortality in sheep is - between two and six million a year.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- That's almost a quarter - of the UK flock.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- In contrast - to England and Scotland...
0:06:20 > 0:06:26- ..the Welsh landscape isn't - suitable to re-introduce the lynx.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I don't think - it would be an ideal place.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- I don't think we have enough deer - on our hills for them to eat.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- We're better off - looking towards Northumberland.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- They want to reintroduce six - to Northumberland from Sweden...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- ..four females and two males.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- That would be a much better place.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- There's far more land there, - there are plenty of hills...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- ..and considerably more deer.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- The possibility of the lynx - being re-introduced to Wales...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- ..is not on the horizon - for a long time.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Wales doesn't have the roe deer - population to support the lynx.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I've already caught up - with members of the YFC...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- ..who chose to keep pigs.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Today I've come to see - a similar scheme.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- This time, - it involves beef production.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- The scheme is part - of the rural development plan...
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- ..which is funded by the Welsh - Government and European funding.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- It's organised - by Menter a Busnes and the YFC.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Luned Evans is the scheme manager.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Initially, what were the scheme's - aims when it was first created?
0:07:47 > 0:07:53- It's a partnership between the YFC, - Menter a Busnes and Dunbia.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- The aim is to create opportunities - for the members...
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- ..to develop skills, - receive training...
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- ..leading to an income source - for businesses...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- ..which are already set up - or are being set up.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- How many members - have signed up to the scheme so far?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- There are many parts to the scheme.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Seven members are participating - in calf breeding.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Looking at the broader picture...
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- ..are you preparing farmers for - the prospect of less subsidies...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- ..and the consequences of Brexit?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- This is an additional income stream - for the farm.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- That's something - we're trying to promote.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- We're looking at the scheme - from a business point of view.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- It needs to be relevant - to other enterprises on the farm.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- They need to know the profit - and production costs.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Arwel is a young farmer - who's benefitted from this scheme.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- He farms Brynglas, Caersws.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- What inspired - a tenant sheep farmer...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- ..to step into a new farming sector?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It was an offer and an opportunity - to use the sheds.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- We don't have to cut down on sheep - to keep more animals on the farm.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- It was a new item - to have cattle and sheep...
0:09:24 > 0:09:25- ..to give us some variety...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- ..in case demand for sheep - dropped in a few years' time.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- It gives me a fall-back option.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- What kind of farm is it? - Does it make a difference?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- The calves stay indoors.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- The sheds were empty - from the end of April...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- ..until the beginning of January.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- There was a chance to use them - instead of leaving them empty.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- After receiving the advice - and deciding to go for it...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- ..how much work was needed - before the calves arrived?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- There was a lot of work.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- We had to install - a hot water system to mix the milk.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- We needed more lights. - We've invested heavily in the shed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- I've noticed that you've installed - an effective and unique fan.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- I haven't seen a fan like that - working in a shed before.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- The fan works well.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- We want to save costs on injections - and medicine for the calves.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- The fan makes the shed - a lot healthier.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- We need fresh air circulating - through the shed all day, every day.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- How old are they - when they arrive her?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- They're reared - with the dairy herd on farms.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- They come to us - when they're two weeks old.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- They've already had - their first milk by then.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- They stay with us for 12 weeks.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- They have five weeks on milk.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- We wean them off milk - and move them to the feed.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Once they reach their target weight, - 120kgs...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- ..we move them off to farms - to finish them...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- ..between a year and 15 months...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- ..and they hope to get them - on the hook by then.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- I think we're in a position where - the numbers game is important.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- If we can gather - a little profit from each one...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- ..and increase those numbers, - it'll help.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- I don't think you can make large - profits on small numbers these days.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- The scheme is supported - by the young farmers...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- ..but what about the future?
0:11:36 > 0:11:43- This is a pilot scheme - funded until March 2018.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49- We hope there will be an extension - but that's yet to be confirmed.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- You talked - about the seven core members.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- I know that many more have expressed - an interest in the scheme.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Is there an opportunity for them - to benefit in some way?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- There will be four meetings - over the next few weeks.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- They will offer - basic, practical training...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- ..on how to rear calves - and the pitfalls during rearing.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20- If farmers are still interested, - they can visit our website.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- As we face Brexit - and other challenges...
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- ..it's important to look at new - opportunities in different sectors.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- That includes - catering and tourism.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- We also show how communication - and technology...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ..can offer opportunities - to all kinds of businesses.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- We commissioned a report from OB3 - and Jeremie Forney from Switzerland.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What was consistent in the projects - we saw across Europe...
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- ..was the importance of providing - support for the whole family.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- It's not only for the head - of the household...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- ..but for his wife, - daughter and son too.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- There are different ideas - and different ways...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- ..to look at opportunities.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- We also look at the importance - of how the provision is provided.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- We'll retain one-to-one sessions - but we encourage group meetings.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- We want farm families - to learn from each other...
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- ..and find the answers together.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- We face many challenges in terms - of our place in Europe.
0:15:05 > 0:15:13- We're always looking at new methods - and ways to pioneer.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..as different companies - and institutions.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- We can look at what we can do - to prepare for the future.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- We can develop new ideas...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- ..and implement them - rather than talk about them.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- The future of farming, - and rural industries...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- ..depend on benefitting from - the opportunities presented to us.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Having a positive attitude - to benefit from the opportunities...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- ..is the target as we move on.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- 34 years ago, a young couple, - Teifi and Jenny Davies...
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- ..started a new business which - provided a living for many years.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Llwynhelyg Farm Shop.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- Now, with both in their 60s, - the shop door is about to close...
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- ..and decades of seven-day weeks - are coming to an end.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Why have you decided to close the - doors and change your way of life?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- There are many reasons, Meinir.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- The main reason is that - we've inherited the farmhouse...
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- ..next to Llwynhelyg, - just across the road.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- We've been renovating it - for three years.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Hopefully, we can move - into the farm early next year.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- We thought about it.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00- We don't want to move the shop - as it is over to the farm.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- We wondered how we'd keep the doors - open if no-one bought it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- We decided to return to our roots.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- We'll sell directly - from our doorstep...
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- ..and on the internet and new media.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- What it means - is lightening the workload.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Precisely.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- It'll hopefully mean - we have more spare time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- We'll slow down gradually.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Neither of us have had more than a - week's holiday since our honeymoon.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- I think it's time for us to think - about a different way of life.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Jenny, - it's been 34 years of hard work.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- You must have enjoyed as well.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- We've really enjoyed - what we've been doing.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- We were in at the beginning - of the Welsh food movement.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- We've enjoyed our food journey.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- It's great to see how - Welsh food and drink has developed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- People do use it - as a food destination.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Over the years, Teifi and Jenny - have won numerous awards...
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- ..for their work and the shop but - what was the original inspiration?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- Take us back to the very beginning. - How did it all start here?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- We go all the way back - to the farm where we are now...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- ..back in the middle of the 1980s.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32- My father decided to retire and I - decided to return home to the farm.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- That's when the milk quotas - came out.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- I took my father's quota - and we heard...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- ..that we only had - seven and a half cows in our quota.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- We wondered what we could do.
0:20:43 > 0:20:50- We realised that my father had - sold potatoes and some vegetables...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- ..from the farm for many years.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- It was a natural step.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- It was a natural step for every - farmer in those days, locally.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- We took that idea on - and developed it.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- What are the most important elements - in your business?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- What's allowed you - to be successful?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- I like talking to people.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Being ready to talk to people, - meeting people...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- ..being knowledgeable - about the food...
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- ..and telling them the story - behind the food.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Where the food's come from, - how it was produced...
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- ..and the quality of the food.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- How have you coped with the balance - between farming and the shop?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Well, we've developed it - over the years.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- Agriculture was the priority - at the start.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- As the shop developed, both became - as important as the other.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- We have to find a balance.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- You decide on the morning what - needs to be done during the day.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- You get up at 5.00am - to cut 20 acres of silage...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- ..return to the shop - for two to three hours...
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- ..and then go back out - to bale silage.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Life has come full circle.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- They're returning to work - as they started their career.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- They're moving to the farm - across the road.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- What are your plans? I hear - you're looking into mentoring.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- Yes, we've had some training - with Menter a Busnes.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- We've had mentoring training.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- We're ready to go out - and help the younger generation...
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- ..if they want to follow that path.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- If they want to diversify, we'll try - and advise them about how to do it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Will it be difficult to close - the doors for the final time?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- In a way, yes.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- We're looking forward to the future - and the new enterprise.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- We're looking at it - like a new enterprise.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- It's a step forward in our lives.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- The next step is closing the shop...
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- ..and doing things - a little differently.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19- An era has come to an end here. - Good luck to both in the future.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- That's it from Ffermio - for another week.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- There's no Ffermio next week - because of the Winter Fair.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- We're back at the same time - the following week.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Good luck to everyone heading - to Llanelwedd, to compete or enjoy.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- We hope to see you there. Cheerio.
