0:00:27 > 0:00:31- There are 26 different - machinery companies here.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36- There are 80 commercial stands - hoping to greet 5,000 visitors.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- It's the - Royal Welsh Grassland Event 2016.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Meinir will be at a pedigree - Holstein cattle sale...
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- ..in Llanon, Carmarthenshire.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53- Daloni meets one the NFU's youngest - employees back at his family farm.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- First, Meinir's visit in May - to Abernac farm, Lledrod...
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- ..about a Farm Connect event about - producing feedstuff for stock...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- ..after the wettest winter - in memory.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Meirion Jones and family - have a 350-acre beef and sheep farm.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16- Like many farmers...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- ..he's concerned how the wet - conditions will harm his business.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- It has made a difference - because it's been cold and wet.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- It's very different from December - when it was quite mild.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- We said then that we'd - be paying for it later.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- We've just entered May...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- ..and in the last couple of days - things have started improving.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- The ground is wet. We've had so much - rain and it can't drain away.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- The ground can only absorb so much.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- I have nothing to hide - - like every other farmer.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- I have some good fields - and some problem fields.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- I hope the expert today can give me - some tips to improve the problems.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- It's the same for all farmers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Farming Connect have set up - a number of events at the farm...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- ..concentrating - on the state of the ground.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Lisa Roberts is a Farming Connect - Red Meat Technical Officer.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Today's event is designed - to address the problems...
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- ..arising from the very wet winter - we had in 2015.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- We'll look at how to restore - the earth, grass and crops.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- We'll look at how the earth has - been impacted and how to restore it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- We'll also look at controlling - nutrition in the soil and reseeding.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Today's expert has already been - around the farm analysing the land.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- His name is Charlie Morgan.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- We had to take soil samples - to start.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- We needed to see - if the important ingredients...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- ..such as lime and phosphates, - were still there.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- When you get the samples back...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- ..you need to know - what to do with the results.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Farming Connect helps people out - with lots of grants at the moment.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- 80% is available to help them - get what they need.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- The farmer should also go out - armed with a shovel.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- You can inspect the earth and - work out where problems can arise.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- You want to see a consistency - of colour down to the subsoil.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- You want to see deep-set roots.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- No standing water.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46- You want to see holes with air - in them and where the cracks go.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- If the cracks go across the field - it's bad, straight down is good.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- If you dive straight into reseeding - without soil assessment...
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- ..the place it has compacted may - allow initial growth of seeds...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- ..but the roots - won't find any deeper purchase.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- When the sun comes out - you'll find a drought.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- What's your advice on that?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- If you're intent on reseeding...
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- ..you need to turn to aerators - or subsoilers...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- ..to improve the soil - before you start.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- What's your main message today?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Don't be afraid of soil samples.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- They aren't expensive.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- You have to look at the lime.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Don't be afraid of spending on lime - and using better fertilizer.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Charlie - obviously understands his field.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- After a wide-ranging discussion...
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- ..on soil impacting, drainage, - control of rushes and reseeding...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- ..how much do the visiting farmers - think they've benefitted?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- He's shown us what we tend to - neglect on our farms at home.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- We don't look hard enough - at the quality of our soils.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- We don't assess it often enough...
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- ..to know what we need - to spend on and what not.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Grass is the cheapest source - of stock feed.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19- It stands to reason that we need to - get the best out of our grassland.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- Days like these are crucial for the - farmer to understand how to do that.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- It shows how important - the soil is...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- ..and the importance - of how we treat and control it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- That's the basis - of profitable farming in Wales.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- As students, - days like these are very useful.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- It's been good to be able to go out - and look at the field directly.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- It's better than relying - on pictures in classrooms.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Everyone who came here - appears to be pleased.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- What was Meirion's impression - of hosting a Farming Connect event?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- You can have the best soil - in the country...
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- ..but if you don't farm it properly, - there's no point having it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- It's really shown me the importance - of the soil constitution.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- The pH levels, the potash - and the phosphates.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- It's also about the fertilizer. - I'm only using nitrogen this year.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- It's been a huge saving for me - after sampling a few fields.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- They told me - I was throwing money away.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Compared to - what I normally spend...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- ..I've saved around 1,000 - on fertilizer.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- It depends on growth.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- As an organic farmer, I learned...
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- ..that the soil is meant to sustain - itself without added chemicals.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Grass is the best - and cheapest feed you can get.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Cows and sheep will eat - the best silage you make...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- ..but what they really want - is grass.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- The best thing we can do is - produce that as cheaply as possible.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- If you are interested in attending - a Farming Connect event...
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- ..you can find out about them - on their website or over the phone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- There are only five weeks - until the Royal Welsh at Llanelwedd.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Meirionnydd - is the host county this year.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- This event is part of their - fundraising drive for the show.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Alun Jones from Llangollen - is the man in charge.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- How long have you been - working towards this big day?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- We've been working hard - for over a year.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Who have you managed to attract - as stall holders?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- All kinds of businesses - from all areas of agriculture.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- From the smallest to the largest - with their very expensive machines.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Meirionnydd is a difficult place - to find a suitable location.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- The growth of grass happens - quite late in the year.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Was this a difficult place to find?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- We didn't have many places - to choose from!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- This place is perfect.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- The Royal Welsh Grassland Event. - What does that mean?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- We have all this machinery - harvesting the silage.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- But also, over an area - of more than 60 acres...
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- ..we have trial plots - seeded by the company Germinal...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- ..who are connected to IBERS - in Aberystwyth.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- That field shows a lot - of different kinds of seeds.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Some are very revolutionary.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- How much opportunity - will there be...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- ..for farmers to see - these new machines in action?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Seeing these machines in action...
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- ..is so much better than seeing them - polished up and stationary.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- We don't see machines like these - very often on family farms in Wales.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- I'll have to go home and start - increasing the width of my gates.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Several times.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28- From the sunshine of Corwen - down the A5 to Llangollen.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Daloni has been to meet - a passionate young farmer...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- ..who has come home - to live out his dream.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- After three years studying Law - at Cardiff University...
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- ..Aled Daniel Jones - followed his heart...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- ..and returned home to Llangollen - to farm.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- As well as being a farmer, - 22-year-old Aled...
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- ..has also become an insurance agent - for NFU Mutual in Wrexham.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- You work in Wrexham.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- On paper, yes, - but I'm not often there.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- We cover around 970 kilometres.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- The whole of eastern Clwyd.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- I'm hardly ever in the office.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- I'm much more likely to be on - a farm or at a business somewhere.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- The car has done - a lot of miles by now.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- You didn't fancy - a full-time role in the law.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- Not really.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- When the NFU job came up, it was an - honour and a privilege to go for it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- This is your farm.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- This is your farm.- - We're giving it a go.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- On top of your other job.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- I don't like sitting still. - I like being busy.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Don't tell my girlfriend - but farming is my first love.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I'd do it tomorrow given the chance.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- With the world as it is...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- ..the option of being at home - full-time doesn't exist.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Aled's grandfather - was born here at Bank Farm.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- It's part of the Vivod Estate - near Llangollen.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- These days, the farm is run - by Aled's Uncle Phil.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Aled spends every spare minute - helping out.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- There are 170 acres here.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- 300 sheep and 25 store cattle.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Two years ago, Aled started a flock - of North Country Cheviot sheep.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- You're the fourth generation - at Bank Farm.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Yes, my great grandfather, - my grandfather...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..Uncle Phil is in charge now - and I'm here helping out.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Things have changed over the years.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Things have changed over the years.- - The farm has changed a lot.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- We've cut down on the cattle.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- We've moved away from Welsh Mountain - sheep towards crossbreds.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Hopefully, we'll soon have - pure bred Cheviots.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Tell me more - about your flock of Cheviots.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I'm very passionate about them. - They are the breed for me.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I want to be selling - pure bred rams in the future.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Was this your first purchase - with the NFU Mutual wage packet?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- That's right. Apart from the car - and the sheep I have nothing else.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- You have lovely sheep.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- What have you bought altogether?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- There were 25 but we lost one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- We're left with - 24 two-year-old ewes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- We have ten yearlings and 48 lambs.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- That takes us to nearly 80 animals - in a year.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Why the Cheviots?
0:12:37 > 0:12:43- They are big strong animals but - they can survive at this altitude.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- The field behind us - is at 1,300 feet.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- I had to choose a strong breed - that would cope up here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- And the cattle?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- The cattle we keep aren't - the first line of the business.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- The land wouldn't look as good - without them.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- We want the manure and it's - nice to hear them in the winter.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- What are your plans for the future?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- I love to make plans.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Uncle Phil wouldn't mind - a bit less of that!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- We keep a few store cattle - at the moment...
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- ..but the plan is to bring back - pure bred Welsh Black cattle.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- They belong here.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- How do you manage to juggle - the insurance job and the farming?
0:13:45 > 0:13:51- I feel lucky to have the honour - of working for this area.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- From the top of this land - I can see the entire area.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- It also shows me the whole - of my insurance catchment area.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- It's a privilege to be able - to come back to my home area...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- ..to do a job I consider - quite important to that area.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- The rain has arrived - all of a sudden.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23- Join us after the break when I'll - still be here at the Rhug Estate.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- Meinir will be at a farmyard sale. - See you in two minutes.
0:14:28 > 0:14:28- .

0:14:39 > 0:14:45- Welcome back to the 7,000-acre - Rhug Estate farm near Corwen...
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- ..where the Royal Welsh - Grassland Event is being held.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- The Federation of Welsh Grassland - Societies is 50 years old this year.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Gareth Davies is the chair.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- The idea developed when Breconshire - was the featured host county.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- The idea came from - the then president, John Davies...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- ..and his chairman Rob Powell...
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- ..to stage a Royal Welsh Grassland - Event at Pentre, Merthyr Cynog.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- It all started because grass is the - cheapest form of food production...
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- ..as far as conversion into weight - gain or where milk is concerned.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- We wanted to bring all sectors of - the grassland societies together...
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- ..plus those involved in grassing, - to show what we could do in Wales.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- It's a big year - for the grassland societies.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- It's the Federation's - 50th anniversary.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Everything started back in 1966...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- ..with the ideas - of a number of pioneers.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- We have to thank - those people today...
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- ..as to what we now achieve - from grassland production.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- It looks like being - a very successful day.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02- Absolutely.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- The Federation is also part of this.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- We've got a presence here - and I'd say it's an excellent site.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- The committee have put together - an excellent show.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- The number of people - who've come here...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- ..has demonstrated - it's something that's needed.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Well done to Meirionnydd - for putting on an excellent event.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Last week, - Meinir went to West Wales...
0:16:29 > 0:16:34- ..to meet one farmer who has had - enough of the current situation.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Because of his personal health, - as well as the low price of milk...
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- ..he has changed direction - completely.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- It's a big day for Alun - and Mandy Owens from Llannon.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52- They have decided to quit milking - and sell the Penderi pedigree herd.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- This is a highly unusual auction as - it's all happening here on the farm.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Alun has been milking - and keeping pigs...
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- ...on the 165 acre farm - all his life.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- But because of ill health, - Alun and Mandy...
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- ..are selling the 150 Holsteins - and most of the farm's equipment.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- What are your hopes for today?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- We just hope the sale goes well.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Then, after the sale...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- ..we hope we can still - work on the farm...
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- ..but with less pressure on Alun.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Things can change, and they have to.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Things can change, and they have to.- - Yes.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- To make things easier, I installed - a new parlour eleven years ago.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- I'd love to keep going, - but what comes first?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Your health or your work?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- I know which I've chosen.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- I've got two discs - in the base of my spine.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- They want to operate on them, - either freeze them or take them out.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Some days, I'm fine, - but other days, I can't move.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- Worse than that now, - the pain has moved lower down.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- It's time to change direction.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- It's time to change direction.- - Yes, we have to.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- I'm sure milk prices have had - some influence on your decision.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Milk prices have been low - for the past two years.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I'm getting the same price now - as I was getting 30 years ago.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Where's the sense in that?
0:18:29 > 0:18:35- In order to generate extra income, - Alun diversified eleven years ago.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41- He started a hog roasting business, - and now roasts around 100 a year.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- The pigs are already here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- We slaughter them in Maesteg - and bring them back with us.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- We roast at least one a week.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- In summer, - I can be out five times a week.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- The smallest party I've done - was for 15 people.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- The biggest so far is for 750, - but I have one this year for 1,000.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- How much difference has the business - made to the farm's income?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- With milk prices as they are...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- ..I couldn't have survived - or paid the bills.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- The hog roast business - is a big help.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- How much value - does roasting the pigs add?
0:19:21 > 0:19:27- The pig I have today was worth 70, - and it cost 30 to slaughter it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Today, it will feed 400 people.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- I charge 3.50 per roll...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- ..so you do the maths.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I earn more - from a Saturday night hog roast...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- ..than I do milking cows in a week.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- Farmyard auctions - are unusual events these days.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- With the sun shining, - a strong crowd has gathered...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- ..to show support - and to land a bargain or two.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- The standard is very high here.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- It's nice to see a crowd - turning up to support Alun.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- He works hard - and deserves every praise.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I've bought a couple. - I'm trying to find a haulier.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- It's not far!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- I'm not sure whether - to walk them or put them in a box.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- We've come from Garn-swllt - and we've bought a log cutter.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- A saw bench.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24- Did you get a bargain?
0:20:24 > 0:20:25- Did you get a bargain?- - I'd say so.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- It's a sad day, - another local dairy farm gone...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- ..with the cost of milk as it is.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- It's a great shame...
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- ..seeing farms that have been - milking for years giving up.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- My husband told me - to buy a calf, which I did.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- The calf's mother - is from our herd's lineage.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- It's important that you buy - when there's a local auction.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- My father used to say - if there was a local sale...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- ..you have to buy something - to get your name in the book.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- One of the auctioneers - is John Eirian Davies...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- ..from Bob Jones Prytherch.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- It must be unusual for you to hold - an auction on a farm these days.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- It's more work, compared - to getting herds into the mart.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- But it brings the community together - and people have come from afar.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- How were the prices generally?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Dairy cattle are hard, on the whole.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29- Older cows not in calf - were tricky so sell.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Younger cows sold fairly well.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Up to 1,200 - for recently-calved heifers.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Have you seen an increase - in herds being sold off...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- ..as a result of milk prices?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Herds have been sold off - in parts of England.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- It's the first big herd to go - to market in South West Wales.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- We're going to be very busy now - for about six weeks.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- After weeks of preparation...
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- ..what were Alun and Mandy's - impressions of the auction?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- It was full of people.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Relaxing, having a chat, - eating our hog roast.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- It was like a day out.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Not Tenby, but Penderi.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- What's next for Alun and Mandy?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- We've started already.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- We've got a few stables for livery.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I'm seeing the doctor on Tuesday.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37- I'm seeing a specialist to find out - what's happening with the surgery.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- We'll see what happens after that.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- How does it feel - to see the cows leaving?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- I felt better as the day wore on...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- ..seeing so many neighbours - buying them.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- There's a good chance - I'll see a lot of them again.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Best wishes to you - and the whole family for the future.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59- Thank you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- That's all for today's programme.
