-If someone asked you to name -the most dangerous industry... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
-..some of you would say -building, engineering work... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
-..or the emergency services. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-According to statistics, agriculture -is the most dangerous industry. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
-On average, a farmworker has died -every nine days in the UK... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
-..over the past decade. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-Last year, -30 people died in farming accidents. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:30 | |
-Four died in Wales. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-One fortunate farmer who survived -a fall from a shed roof... | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-..is Meurig Harries -from Wolf's Castle. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-On the day, -the builder had rung me... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-..to tell me he was coming to put -a new roof on the Monday. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
-We needed to remove the old roof -on the Saturday. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-I thought I could save 1,000 -doing it myself. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-I was up there -and I had some walk boards. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
-I grabbed the cable and pulled it. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
-I stood back over the walk board -and fell through the sheets. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-I landed on the concrete. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-How badly injured were you? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
-A dislocated shoulder and my pelvis -was cracked in four places. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |
-I also hit my head -but my head was fine. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-Farmers work closely with -their animals from day to day... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-..but sometimes, -the unexpected can happen... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-..and conditions -can change quickly. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-This happened -to one farmer from Preseli... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-..when her dog followed her -to the field. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-I was walking up the field -as I'd done many times before. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-I was checking the animals. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
-When I was halfway up the field... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-..I could see them looking down -towards the corner of the field. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
-Suckler cows and their calves? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
-Yes. I looked back to see -what they had spotted. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-My Springer spaniel had followed me. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-I saw him run out of the field... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-..but as I turned back, -I saw the cows, their heads down... | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
-..and they were coming for me. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-Then they knocked me to the ground, -I stood up... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-..and they knocked me down again. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-I thought to myself, "No, you're -not going to knock me down again." | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
-I had to stay down on the ground -so I curled up into a ball... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-..with my head in my hands. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-I waited on the ground for a while. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-They were pushing me -around the place... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-..they trampled on me and they -broke all my ribs on one side. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
-They then punctured my lung. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-The specialist told me -in the hospital... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-..had I not rolled up on the ground, -I wouldn't be here today. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-According to statistics, half the -people killed are over 65 years old. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:29 | |
-Young people also suffer -serious injuries. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-One of those -is Rhys Lewis from Machynlleth. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-I'd been chopping wood all morning. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-Everything was fine. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-After lunch, we went back down. -Dad was with me. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-It was the first tree after lunch. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-I heard the crack. -Then I turned my back on the tree. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-I started to run away. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
-The tree swung around -and I was hit on the back. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-I remember passing out -and coming round. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-I shouted to Dad. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
-Of course, two saws were still -running, Dad couldn't hear a thing. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-I remember passing out again. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-When I came round, Dad had -realised something was wrong. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-An air ambulance to Stoke-on-Trent. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
-I had an operation -to stabilise my back. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-Two rods, 12 pins, into my back. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-I'll be in a wheelchair -for the rest of my life. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-It's taken time to work out ways -to get back to work. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:37 | |
-I've found a tractor, -I've had a lift adapted for it. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-It allows me to get in and out. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-It's good being able -to return to work... | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-..but it's still -a bit frustrating... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-..having to rely on someone -being around... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-..just to switch on a machine. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-The things you took for granted... | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-..someone has to be there -all the time. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
-For farmers that pay the price... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-..there are important lessons -to learn. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
-As you look back, would you -have done something differently? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-I would have found a builder -to complete the whole job. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-To save 1,000, it was nothing -compared to what I eventually lost. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-I had to pay someone -to come in and milk the cows. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
-It also affected my business. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-It cost me a lot more. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-You were relatively lucky. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-You were relatively lucky. - -Very lucky, very lucky. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-It could have been a lot worse. -I could have died. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-Has something changed -since the accident? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-For me? I won't venture -into the field on my own anymore. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-Only in a vehicle. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-I'll help my husband and sons... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-..but I make sure I'm safe and -I don't turn my back on the animals. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:07 | |
-Accidents happen. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-You must take the correct steps -to ensure they don't. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:18 | |
-Just try and decrease the risk -of something happening... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-..is the message I'd give. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-Farm accidents -can have a long-term effect... | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-..on farmers and their families. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-Later in the programme, -Alun attends a special event... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-..which offers farmers advice -about farm safety. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
-Next, let's join a familiar -farming face, Gareth Wyn Jones. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-Gareth farms 2,000 acres -of uplands in Llanfairfechan, Conwy. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-He's one of seven partners -in the business. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
-Today, they're getting ready -for a special day. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-We're on our way -to the Aber ram sale. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-That was the sale for us as kids. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-It was held in Abergwyngregyn... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-..until we had -the foot and mouth outbreak. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Now, it's held -at Morgan Evans in Gaerwen. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-It's an important time for us -as hill farmers. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:22 | |
-We're searching for the best rams -that are close to what we want... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:29 | |
-..on the Welsh hills. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-It's important to search -for a ram... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-..that will survive -and produce meat... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-..from the most difficult terrain -to live in Wales. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:45 | |
-We're selling -about six of our own today... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-..and we're looking for some lambs, -about 18 months old... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
-..and an old ram too. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-We'll see! | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-We're numbering the rams. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
-People will know -what they're buying. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-This is important. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-We'll know -if there's a prize on offer... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-..which number has won -when we sell them! | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-Have you been bribing the judge? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-These are in their work clothes, -straight from the field. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-They haven't been washed -or shampooed like the show animals. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
-I think that's important. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-People don't see them -at their worst... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-..but as they should be naturally. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-We give them a brush down - everyone -needs a brush down before work! | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-The main things we look for. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-Teeth, nicely coloured... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-..a good head... | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-..bone... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
-..shoulder... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-..good quality wool -that can withstand the weather. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-You need a good pair of these - -that's important. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
-You really need those! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
-Thank you. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
-Thank you. Spot on. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
-The young and the old! | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-Cheeky! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
-What am I?! I know I'm third. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-The cup goes to a family... | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
-..that have worked hard rearing rams -in Llanfairfechan for years. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:05 | |
-It's his great-grandfather's trophy -- the Wil Gwyndy Cup. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-It's something -that's close to us all as a family. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-It's time to shop. -We're looking around for a ram. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-Something similar to what we want. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-These are the same generation. -They live close to our hills. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
-They're very similar -to what we're searching for. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-The ram lamb -will be born in April. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-It'll be on the mountain throughout -the summer, from May onwards. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
-It's important that the ram -can look after itself... | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-..and that it can turn grass -into meat by eating it. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:53 | |
-It's important to keep animals -that are fit for purpose... | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
-..that will do that job. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-In a way, you want a lamb -that's had a hard time... | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
-..and grown through it. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-If you have something -that's lived in a nice place... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
-..it won't survive -in harsher conditions. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-We keep commercial sheep and we like -to buy one or two expensive ones. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
-We put those with the best ewes. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-Most of the time, we're looking -for something that suits us... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
-..for the right price. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
-We've just bought a ram -from Dafydd Coetmor. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-He's on the same mountain as ours, -the other side of the mountain. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
-They're a similar type. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-We've paid 150 for it. -It's 18 months old. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-We felt it was a good price -for the ram. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-It's a good place to buy today. -He's buying another one now! | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-Watch out! | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
-There we go. We're spending, lads! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-Don't come with us too often! | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-We bought 10. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-Strong rams. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-They'll do. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-Yes, they're good. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
-1,200 for 10. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-That works out at 120 average. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-That's a very reasonable price. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-It was a buyer's market today. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-You need two people -to place a bid... | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-..to raise the price. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
-Two farmers -must like the same thing. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-That's what makes -some of the rams really expensive. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Picking them is easy, -buying them is a different thing. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Nice. That's another day over, lads. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-There you go. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
-This is where our year starts. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-Without these rams, we wouldn't -have lambs and nothing to sell. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
-It does start here with these rams. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-It's so important to buy well -and that they work 100% for us. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-You can see how they run -around the field. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-They all look healthy, -no problems with their feet. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-I'm confident that these -will serve a lot of ewes... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-..and will make -a lot of money for us... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-..and bring some fresh stock -to the farm. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
-A great day in the mart for Gareth. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-We'll look forward to -catching up with him again soon. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-After the break, Alun visits -a health and safety training day. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-I'll meet beef farmers -from the Conwy Valley... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
-..who've just received -a major accolade. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |

-..driving tractors, -renovating buildings... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-..are just some of -the everyday tasks facing farmers. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-How many of us consider health -and safety on a daily basis? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-I'm visiting the Rhug Estate -for a special day for farmers. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |

-I've learnt a lot. I've seen things -I hadn't considered before. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-I've heard about accidents -they've witnessed here. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-It's frightened me - -they could easily happen at home. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-I've seen machinery that I would -consider dangerous, quad bikes... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
-..but there's also the gases and -chemicals we handle on the farm... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
-..and the cattle crushes. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-A six-month old calf can do a lot -of damage - it can knock you over. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:39 | |
-Today's a very beneficial day. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
-It's nice to see everyone asking -questions and listening attentively. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
-One man who worked very closely with -Lantra to organise this event... | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-..is Brian Rees, chair of -the Wales Farm Safety Partnership. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
-Our main purpose in life is to try -and encourage the organisations... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-.and the farmers in Wales -to think about health and safety... | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-..and try implement a few things -on their farms... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-..to try and save some of the -terrible carnage we have on farms. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
-Almost 300 farmers -attended the event. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
-How did they benefit -from the training? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-Driving motorbikes on steep terrain -- I'm guilty myself. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-I've had some scares. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:32 | |
-It's important to learn -how to drive properly. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-I've had an accident -on the farm myself... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-..from doing the wrong thigs. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-When you attend events like this, -it reminds you what to do. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-It's a reminder and makes you -think twice about a situation. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:51 | |
-It's not funny - we can all laugh -at people who've had accidents... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
-..but I think we should take things -a little more seriously. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-There are a lot of dangers. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-There's a dark side -to the most useful of things. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-If you hit your thumb with a hammer, -it hurts! | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-You can get hurt using -the simplest tools in the world. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-Be careful, life is dangerous. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-With so many aspects -to consider on any farm... | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
-..what are the main messages -that come out of these events? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
-The greatest one for me today -is the motorbike. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-With any machinery, -proper training is so important... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-..to allow the farmer to cover -himself if something goes wrong. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
-Things can happen so quickly. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-We know that if you switch off -for a split second... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:47 | |
-..accidents can happen so suddenly. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-We have to cover ourselves -every time in case these happen. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-At the end of the day, if you ask -someone to work, you're responsible. | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
-You're the one that needs -to do the due diligence... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
-..to check everything out. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-Less of us work on our farms -these days... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-..which means a lot of the work -is done by individuals. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
-There's a tendency -to try and cut corners. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
-After hearing -all the stories here today... | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
-..it's important to take a moment -and do things properly... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-..to make sure we're still here -tomorrow to carry on working. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-The Farmers Weekly awards -have been held for years. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-We must have some good farmers -in Wales. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-Over the past five years... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-..the award for -Beef Farmer of the Year... | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-..has ended up in Wales four times. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-This year, -it reached the Conwy Valley. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-Paul and Dwynwen Williams, -Cae Haidd, Nebo, Llanrwst... | 0:19:56 | 0:20:02 | |
-..have farmed here for four years. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-During this short period time, -they've worked very hard. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-We were here earlier in the year -to see them with their sheep. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
-They've also been working hard -with their beef cattle too. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
-We had such a shock -when they called our names out. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-It took us a while to stand up. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-We felt like we were in a bubble, -it was incredible. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:31 | |
-Had you half expected -to win the award, Dwynwen? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
-Not at all. The honour -of being there was enough. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-The fact that we won -was a great honour and privilege. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-We hadn't expected it. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
-What did the judges say? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
-They liked the fact that we -concentrated on the technology... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
-..and the small detail. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-It's the accuracy of what -we're doing and what we want to do. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
-What we do here suits Cae Haidd. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-I wouldn't think of telling others -what to do. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
-Every farm is different. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-Paul and Dwynwen won the award -for farming beef cattle. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-What makes the system -in Cae Haidd so special? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
-Our calving season -starts in January. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-We try and finish -by the end of March, early April. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
-We want the cattle -to produce a calf... | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
-..and take a bull before -they go out during the spring. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-How many cattle do you keep? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:35 | |
-How many cattle do you keep? - -We have around 50 cattle right now. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
-We'll definitely have 50 -by this time next year. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-What part of your system impressed -the judges of Farmers Weekly? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:46 | |
-Our use of technology with the herd. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
-We place collars -around their necks... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
-..which helps us monitor -when they're ready to take a bull. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:59 | |
-We use the Moocall on their tails -when they're calving. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
-That monitors that. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
-And the fact -that we use genetics... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
-..we're into the EBVs -and we cost them. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-We've kept the herd's costs -since 1999. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-After calving, what happens then? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
-We sell the cattle as stores -between 16-20 months old... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:25 | |
-..usually in the autumn. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-What's your target -with the beef cattle? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-We want to reach 50 initially... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-..and do as well as we can -with that. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-It's a system that requires -very little input. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-We're trying to increase the output -as much as we can. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-We just feel that there's -a market for the beef. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
-I feel safer with the beef market -right now than the sheep market. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-Beef Farmer of the Year. -It has a nice ring to it! | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-It has, yes. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-We're still getting over the shock. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
-It's an honour - -it only happens once in life. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
-Well, who knows? Who knows? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
-No, we won't have a year -like this ever again. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
-Yes, well done, Paul and Dwynwen. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-Congratulations to them. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
-That's it for another week. -Thank you for your company. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
