-After graduating -from Aberystwyth University... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-..Delyth was a technical researcher -with Innovus. - -http://www.innovus.org.uk/ | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-That was before -she accepted a job here in 2012. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
-She now looks after -a flock of Llanwenog sheep... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-..a herd of Welsh Pigs -and a herd of Welsh Black cattle. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-As if that wasn't enough, -she also trains and works sheepdogs. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
-I was raised on my parents' farm -in Cwm Nantcol. - -https://www.nantcolwaterfalls.co.uk/ | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
-In 2007, I went to university -in Aberystwyth. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
-I started studying -Countryside Management. - -https://courses.aber.ac.uk/undergraduate/countryside-management-degree/ | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-By the second year... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
-..I decided I wanted to study -Agriculture too. - -https://courses.aber.ac.uk/undergraduate/bsc-agriculture-degree/ | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-I was familiar with Llanerchaeron -from when I was at university. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-They were managed together. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-I'd been here -and had loved the place. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-An opportunity came up -to manage the farm here. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-I applied for it -not expecting to get the job. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
-I never thought -I could do a job like this one. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-I got a phone call that evening -offering me the job. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-I couldn't believe the manager -to begin with. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-When I first started here, -I remember my first day. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-I went around -trying to find all the stock. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-I was trying to learn -what needed doing from day to day. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-I'd never kept -pigs or chickens before. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-I was mostly used to -cattle and sheep. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-When I first arrived, -I had to get everything in order. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-I also had to work out... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-..how I'd fit this all in -with visitors and volunteers. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-We have around 40,000 visitors -here each year. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
-Goodness gracious! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
-We have to consider them... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-..in the decisions that we make -about managing the farm. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-We have to think about things like -the timing of lambing and shearing. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-We do that so we can offer -those experiences to our visitors. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-We're open -so they can see how we farm. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-This is a sight worth seeing, -isn't it? | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Native Welsh Black Cattle. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-In terms of how you see -the use of the cattle... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-..they're here to produce meat -for the market. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-They have more of a purpose here -than just meat. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-Yes, we do a lot -of conservation grazing. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-We have wet ground, marshland. - -tir rhos - marshland? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-We also have hay meadows. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-Welsh Black Cattle -suit that job to a tee. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-They're the right size -to clear an area... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-..where there's a lot of scrub -growing into the land. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-They keep it down. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
-They're very good in that way. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-They can also do well on land -that's of a pretty poor standard. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:26 | |
-Marshland and so on. - -Again, moor? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
-We have store cattle here. These -will be calving here next year. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-They will be grazing on wet ground. -They'll get on well there. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-There are other breeds, -like some of the continental ones... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-..that won't do as well -on that land. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-Delyth, I've brought you a bag. -Tell us a little about the contents. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-Is it grown here or bought in? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-These are oats. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
-These are all grown here. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-We have the option of growing -crops like this through Glastir. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
-It fits well in here at the moment. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-We change -where it's grown each year. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-This is a part of the National -Trust's plan on conservation... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-..this idea of a food cycle. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:27 | |
-We keep the hay on the field -after the harvest. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-That's always good -for wildlife and birds. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-That's every winter. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-But then, it also suits us. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-We've just become an organic farm... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-..so we have organic food grown -on the farm ready for the cattle. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
-We don't have to buy in any feed. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-Let's juggle some of this now. -Let's take it to the cattle. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-I'll be your farmhand! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-They'll be glad to see you coming -this morning. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-Here we go. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
-You really filled this one! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-Or I've become weak in my old age. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-You need a woman to do a proper job. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
-You need a woman to do a proper job. - -Yes, you're the boss! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-The pigs are being used -to manage the land in a way. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
-Yes, we move this little enclosure -every now and again. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
-We reseed wherever they are. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-Normally, a power harrow on the -land is enough once we move them. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-I can imagine. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
-We then have the option -of reseeding... | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-..or of planting -a slightly different crop. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-There we go. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
-Having a helper is handy! | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-I'm not much help, I'm afraid. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
-This is clearly one of the fields -you've treated. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-Yes, we have a crop of turnips here. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-That's kept the cattle busy here -since the middle of October. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-When the public see this, -I'm sure they're over the moon. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-Yes, they do like to see us -feeding the animals. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
-These have been fed here... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-..since they were calves -getting milk from the dairy cattle. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-It's nice for the public -to see them. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
-Delyth is preparing -to take a load of cattle... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-..to sell at Dolgellau mart. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-What are her hopes for the sale? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Great, Delyth. -That's their last supper now. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-Here, anyway. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
-Here, anyway. - -Yes. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
-Most of this lot -will be going on Friday. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
-What will you have -in terms of choice for people? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-There's a mix -of steers and heifers here. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-Some are registered pedigree. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-Some aren't. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-One or two are a Limousin -or Aberdeen Angus cross. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
-There's something -for everyone there. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-Sale day arrives and Delyth and -the cattle face a 50-mile journey. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-According to Meat Promotion Wales' -latest report on the market... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..beef is hovering around -the 1.90 per kilo mark. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-How will that convert in terms -of value for Delyth's store cattle? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-I'm very pleased. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
-On average, I got 686. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
-The heifers -did better than I expected. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-The steers did well too. -It was a good day. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-I can't ignore -one thing that happened. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-There were two heifers where you -weren't happy with the price. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
-They got to a very good price -but they are worth more to me. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
-Delyth was happy -with the day's prices... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
-..but what are her hopes -for the farm's future? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-We don't have any -incredibly ambitious plans here. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-I'd like to see a herd -of Welsh Black Cattle... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-..that is worth seeing and -a similar flock of Llanwenog sheep. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
-I'd like them -to be a good example of that breed. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-A high standard. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-I'd say you're going about it -the right way. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-I hope so, yes. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
-They look great. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-The Showground in Llanelwedd -is home to a few organizations... | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-..including the Wales federation -of Young Farmers Clubs. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-At the Winter Fair, -they're launching a campaign... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-..to allow you -to buy a brick of their building. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-Although the YFC -owns the top floor... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-..Neath Port Talbot College -owns the ground floor. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
-The Young Farmers have a chance -to buy them out for 76,100. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
-They have to raise the money -by February. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-Buying the building... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-..has been in the organization's -plans for a long time... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-..but we've never been able -to come to a good deal with NPTC. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-By now, they want to sell -and we want to buy. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
-We got permission from the council -in October... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-..to go ahead and buy the building. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-Looking at the details, what are the -options in terms of the purchase? | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
-What we're suggesting -as an organization... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-..is that we start at 25 -and work up to 100, 250 and 500. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-But we're willing -to accept any donations. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |

-Arwel isn't here today -but my daughters are here. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-The phone rang in the house and -I thought it was a nuisance call. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |

-Merry Christmas, girls. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
-Enjoy transporting the horses -in the trailer. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-I'm sure that like me, when you need -a snack, you turn to bacon. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-It's the hardest sector -to work commercially. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-Education is key to the process. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-Daloni has been to see -the latest developments... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-..on the Glynllifon Campus -of Coleg Meirion Dwyfor. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
-This college -on the old Glynllifon estate... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-..is a Farming Connect -Innovation Site for beef and pork. - -https://businesswales.gov.wales/farmingconnect/innovation-sites | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Where better then to develop -the best facilities to rear pigs. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-At the cost of 500,000, -the unit is an important resource... | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
-..in giving the best education -possible to the students. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-We got to it because the pigs... | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
-..were kept in traditional farm -buildings made from slate and stone. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
-It was hard -to control their environment. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-We needed to improve -the efficiency of the unit. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
-So we invested in modern buildings. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-How will this benefit the students? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-Having the resources here makes -it more attractive to students... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:35 | |
-..to consider a pig unit -on a family farm. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-It's a nice place to work. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-It's a very effective system. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-The pigs seem to have settled in -and are performing. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
-It will certainly -be more attractive for them. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-This system -is less labour intensive. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-The investment has been substantial. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-It's an investment -in the next generation of farmers. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-We want the students to have -the best possible resources. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-We want to nurture their confidence -and improve their husbandry skills. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
-A lot of innovative resources -have been used. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-The pig feeder has come from Spain. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-It's the first one installed -in the UK. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-There are things -which are installed here... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-..that go further -than your average commercial unit. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-Is that the way forward? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
-Pig production -needs to be efficient. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-If you're in the commercial world... | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-..the cost of feed -is about 60% of the cost. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
-You have to get a good control -of the environment and the pigs... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-..to get the best out of the feed. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-Farming Connect has a close -partnership with the college. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
-It's held an open day on the site -with guest speakers... | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-..discussing the implications -of rearing pigs. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
-We've got one or two projects -on the horizon here in Glynllifon. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
-The first will look at evaluating -the performance of the Welsh Pig. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-It will also look at the performance -of the hybrid pig... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-..which we have at the new building. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-We'll monitor every piglet -from birth through to slaughter. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-We can then work out which breeding -lines are most efficient. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:27 | |
-That's how we will choose -replacement sows. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-What's happening today? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-Today, we're holding an open day... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
-..to exhibit the new pig unit -at Glynllifon. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
-The facilities here are first class. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
-We're just showing -what's available here. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
-There will be talks from experts -on biosecurity... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:51 | |
-..and on how to improve -the efficiency of pig herds. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-You are the Technical Officer -for Pigs and Fowl... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-..for Farming Connect in Wales. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-In your opinion, -what's the future for pigs? | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-There's a very prosperous future -for the pig industry in Wales. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-We hope to see growth in the number -of pigs produced in Wales. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
-That is a result -of the new RDP project... | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-..which looks at increasing the -number of pigs produced in Wales. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-By working with them and educating -the industry about the potential... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
-..I think the pig industry in Wales -has a bright future. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
-The new pig unit is run... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-..to give students the best possible -experience in the field. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-The pigs here -are sent to slaughter at 85kg. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-That's usually -between 16 weeks and 20 weeks. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
-How many sows -do you have in the unit? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-We have 50 sows. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-This is going to be a project... | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
-..where we follow the two breeds -over three years and collect data. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-Every piglet is tagged -electronically at birth. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-Their performance is then compared. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-How many suckling pigs? | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
-We aim to have twelve suckling pigs -per litter. Twelve or more. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
-The shed is split up into rooms. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-We have a suckling unit... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-..a unit for young sows, -growing pigs and pig fattening. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
-They all need -different temperatures. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
-This electronic unit controls -the temperature in each room. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:32 | |
-If it goes up or comes down... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-..the fans come on -to maintain a constant temperature. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-There's an alarm system if we have -an issue with overheating. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-Over 200 students get experience -at the new pig unit every week. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:50 | |
-What do you think of the pig unit? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
-It's a great unit. They've invested -a lot of money in it. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
-Hopefully, we can turn over -more pigs to improve the genetics. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:03 | |
-It's a great unit. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
-We don't have to muck out -and there are slats. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
-What do you learn -from the new pig unit? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-We've learned a lot, -it's a good investment. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
-We've learned about -the daily live weight gain. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-We've learned -how to improve their weight. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
-I think it still contributes a lot -to the potential in the pig unit. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
-How do you hope to gain -from the new pig unit? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-It shows the best way to invest. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-It might be expensive -at the front end... | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
-..but it cuts the costs -of rearing each pig. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-It shows us how to do the figures -and ensure something is profitable. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
-At the moment, the market is strong, -the pound is weak... | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
-..less stuff is imported. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
-There's more use and more demand -for pork in the UK and Wales. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-Only 5% of the bacon in Wales -is produced in Wales. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
-I think there's scope there -to expand... | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-..on eating more Welsh pigs -in Wales. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-That's it. Christmas has come early -for three lucky viewers on Ffermio. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
-They're taking a trailer each home. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
-How about this? 294p per kilo -for this heifer at the Winter Fair. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:24 | |
-That's quite a price. So, success -for many people here today. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
-That's it for this week. -Thanks for your company. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-From me and the rest -of the Ffermio team, goodbye. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
