0:07:28 > 0:07:30- No, it takes years of breeding.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- You need to have good blood - in the herd.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- It's impossible - to describe the feeling.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- You've tried your best and poured - years of your life into them.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- It's all then down - to that minute and moment.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- This week, - she met a skilled businessman.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- He started out carrying welding - equipment in the back of a Mini...
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- ..but you won't believe - how far he has moved on.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Dylan Roberts was 20 years old when - he set up his metalwork business.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- He began in a small garage - on the family farm in Llansannan.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- Since then, the business has grown - and now employs 25 local workers.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- I started in 1984, - when I was 20 years old.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- It's grown from there.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- We're on the family farm, - Pencraig Fawr.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- That's right. - This was a field when we started.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- I started off working at home, - in a small shed on the farmyard.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04- We put up the building - that you see in the middle here.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06- That was our first shed.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13- As we've grown, we've added more - and more since then.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- In addition to sheds, the company - makes all kinds of equipment...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- ..and parts for repairing machinery.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- When I started, my main work - was going around farms...
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- ..repairing and welding - broken equipment inside sheds.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Doors, feeding barriers and so on.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- I drove around in a Mini.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- I took the front seat out - to fit the welder in.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- That lasted me for a while.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- After that, I bought a pickup - to carry my stuff.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- That's how I started.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- After a while, people started - bringing things to you to be fixed.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- That's right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- It meant we were able to have - someone looking after things here...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- ..and one of us - could go out to carry out repairs.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- We were very busy at harvest time, - going out to repair things.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- That was seven days a week, in fact.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- That's how it was.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- We've expanded quite slowly.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- It's been a slow process...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- ..but a very safe one.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I haven't taken any big risks.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- That's why it's taken so long - to reach this point.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- I don't think I've let anyone down.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- I try to give everybody - value for money.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- As far as the industry is concerned, - how have things changed?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- We've had to expand...
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- ..by moving into different - industries, to be honest.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- We do work for factories.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- We also do work - not connected to agriculture now.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- We erect industrial sheds - and buildings...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- ..and we also go to quarries - and similar places...
0:16:11 > 0:16:12- ..to repair and to weld.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- We now do some engineering as well, - which we didn't do when we started.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- That's what these machines are for.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- We can turn metal - and do work like that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- There's a pleasant atmosphere here.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Everyone in the office speaks Welsh.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- What exactly do you do?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- I work with Eirian...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- ..and we do the accounts.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- I do the wages.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- I also answer the phone.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51- In Welsh?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Yes, I try.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- I'm sure that people - love to hear your Mexican accent.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Sometimes, they say...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- I'm not sure if they understand me.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- They ask someone else here - where I come from...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- ..because I don't sound...
0:17:14 > 0:17:15- ..Welsh.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- The company covers a wide area, - across the whole of North Wales.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- This is Croenllwm Farm, Llanefydd.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Yes, that's right.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- This is some shed!
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- It is.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- This is one of our latest sheds.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's to house dairy cattle.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- It has a fibre cement roof.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- As you can see, gaps in the sheets - provide proper ventilation.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- That's quite a modern system.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- How big is it?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Um, I'm not sure.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I think it's 60 feet wide.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- There are 18 bays, - and each bay is 15 feet.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- It's big, we can say that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- It's big, we can say that.- - Yes, quite big.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- Do farmers tend to bring plans - to you and ask for that shed?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Or do they tell you - the kind of shed they want?
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- We erect buildings where the client - brings the complete plans to us...
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- ..and we can also advise - and draw up our own plans.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32- We also cover the planning process, - from start to finish.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- During his rare breaks from work, - Dylan loves collecting vehicles.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Look what I've found - in one of the sheds!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- This is very, very nice, Dylan!
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Do you like it?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- I really like it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Tell me about this Land Rover.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- This is what's known - as the Heritage Edition.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- It's one of 150 identical models...
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- ..that came off the line - when production ended recently.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08- So, is this your hobby?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- Well, I don't know.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- I like machines and had thought - about buying a new Land Rover...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- ..to replace the old one.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- But when I saw this, - I didn't feel like using it...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- ..so I've kept the old one!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- What next, Dylan?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- What next, Dylan?- - Well, um, I don't know.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- I've never been one - who plans ahead much.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- But I'm really glad - to have had local support...
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- ..to enable me to run - and build up a rural business...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- ..and to employ the people I do, - to be honest.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Back here at Ruthin mart, - the champion is in the selling ring.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- She looks superb, to be honest.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- In front of a packed crowd...
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- ..the champion was sold - for an event record price of 7,900.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- The buyer was Elfed Williams - from Sennybridge.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- He went on to buy the champion steer - as well, for another 6,000.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- It was Dafydd's turn next.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- The British Blue steer - sold for 4,300.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- It has been an incredible day, - a day I'll never forget.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- It'll stay in my mind - for years to come.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- What's your ambition, - with regard to the cattle?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- I'd hope to see them again - at the summer and Christmas shows.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- The buyers have put their faith - in our animals...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- ..and paid a lot for them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- I hope they get the same success - and luck that we've had with them.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04- Is there any reason why you didn't - keep them and exhibit them yourself?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- These buyers are professionals, - and that's what they do.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Buy them, fatten them - and turn them out.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- We're farmers - who rear them and sell them on.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- They take them that final step.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- After a full day - of exhibiting and selling...
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- ..someone else who's happy - is the auctioneer, Glyn Owens.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- It's been a very good day.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- It was a fine sale with fine cattle.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- I hope everyone - is going home happy...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- ..both as sellers and buyers, - having got what they wanted.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- As for the prices, - I'd say it was a good average.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- It's the best average we've had.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- The average price for heifers - was around 2,400.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- The overall average - is well above 2,000.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- It's certainly the best we've had.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- For a show potentials sale, I'd say - it was one of the best anywhere.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- We're proud of that.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Elfed Williams, who's a supporter...
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- ..paid 7,900 for the champion - and 6,000 for the reserve champion.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- I hope they bring him success - over the summer and winter.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- That's all for this week.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- We've certainly seen some stars - of the future here at Ruthin...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- ..both animals and farmers.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- It's a big year - for us here in Wales...
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- ..with May's Assembly elections...

0:22:43 > 0:22:46- But for now, - from me and the Ffermio team...
