0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Remind us - what the judges are looking for.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- They don't look at the horse...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- ..but at how the handler - handles the horse.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- How confident they are - with the horse.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- How they get on - with the horse, really.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- She's running with the horse, - not letting it get away from her.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Is it sometimes helpful - if the horse plays up?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It can be, within reason.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- She can then show her skills - at handling a small horse.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26- She'll now walk away and push - the horse round away from her...

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Trotting is important - to show control of the horse.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Not letting it pull away from her.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Keeping it close, - and staying by its shoulder.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- It was on a Fergie - that I learnt to drive a tractor.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- These have been around for years.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- How old are these?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- This one is 70 years old this year.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- This one is 70 years old this year.- - Great. And it still works?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- Yes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- It's a TE20, and was among - the first made by Ferguson.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- And this is the first one.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- This one is 80 years old.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- They then went on to the Ferguson - with the gold engine.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- This one looks bigger.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23- Yes, it dates from 1956 to 1957.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Previously, in 1953, - Massey-Harris bought Ferguson.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37- Then, around 1957, they brought out - the Massey-Ferguson.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- That's when they changed - from grey, with the Massey-Ferguson.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- The red ones - that everyone is now familiar with.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Yes, the Massey-Ferguson 135 there.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- This one was manufactured...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- ..at a time when horses were used.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- How did it change the world?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- How many acres - could a horse plough in a day?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I think a horse - could plough one acre.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- And with a tractor?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06- In half the time, easily.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- And it didn't tire.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- And it didn't tire.- - That must have changed farms...
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- ..from smallholdings - into large commercial farms.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- It drove things forward. - Farms got bigger, as did tractors.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Why do you think - that the grey Fergie so popular?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Well, it didn't cost much.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- And it's quite nippy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- The biggest thing - was the hydraulics.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- That was a very new thing - for the agricultural world.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- When that came, - it was the start of farming.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- They trundle along, don't they?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- You cover a lot of land in a day, - and in a pleasant way.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16- How are you?- - Very well, thank you.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- What do you like - about the little Fergie?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- The thing about them is...
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- ..they're so easy to work on - and to restore.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I grew up with my grandparents.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- They're so easy to work on.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- I enjoy being with them because - they take me back to my childhood.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45- I'd like to buy one someday...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- ..restore it, join a club - and raise money for good causes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54- Why is this one yellow?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- It's an industrial model, - for highways and construction sites.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- It has a tighter turning circle.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- You can turn around on the road.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- As for smallholdings, these tractors - must be good in confined spaces.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- For confined spaces, - and small machines working together.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Yes, they're simple to operate.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- You don't need to get a laptop - to start one of these!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- A screwdriver, a spanner - and petrol or diesel.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- And a hammer!
0:09:32 > 0:09:33- And a hammer!- - You may be right!

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- I worked on four different farms.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Two of the farms - produced cheese from sheep's milk.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- I discovered - that sheep's milk is great.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- It's thicker, - it curdles fantastically.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- You can cut it, - and it tastes totally different.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- How many different cheeses - do you have here?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I make two types of hard cheese...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- ..and a soft cheese - called Brefu Bach.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- I'm a lobster and crab fisherman.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Everything I caught was exported - to France, Spain and Portugal.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- My wife began preparing dishes...

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Welcome back to Llanelwedd - and to the 2016 Spring Festival.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Ioan and I are very lucky - because we're outside the Food Hall.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- It's a popular place.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- The Festival is an important spring - event, and we've lots more for you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- You don't need much land - to keep chickens...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- ..and you can't beat - a fresh egg in the morning.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- The poultry section attracts - competitors from all over Wales.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I'm among the feathers - with Iestyn from Lleyn.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58- How are you?
0:13:58 > 0:13:59- Very well, thank you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00- Very well, thank you.- - Very good.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- The theme of this show, - in a way, is smallholdings.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- People who keep - a small number of animals.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- I don't know much about chickens.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- If I wanted to start keeping them...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- ..which type should I go for?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- The first step is to make sure - that the local authorities...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- ..will let you keep them - in your garden.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- The next consideration...
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- ..would be to choose a breed - that doesn't need too much space.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- In that respect, - bantams might be a better option.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- They don't make as much mess - or make as much noise...
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- ..and they take up a lot less space - than some bigger breeds.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- The Light Sussex - is a good example...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ..of a pure, - traditional native breed...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- ..that's suitable - for beginners to keep.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- There aren't too many problems - when you start keeping them.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- The legs are clean, - they're a good size...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- ..and they're good survivors.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- For many, keeping chickens is - the first step to self-sufficiency.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- I'd almost go as far as saying...
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- ..that most people start the journey - by keeping a few hens in the garden.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- The world of keeping poultry...
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- ..seems to me - to be close-knit yet competitive.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- Everyone is very competitive, - but we're all friends as well.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Nothing goes beyond - the confines of the show.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45- Yes, it's great.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Saturday afternoon saw quite a buzz - in the poultry section...

0:16:56 > 0:17:01- Growing plants and vegetables - is becoming increasingly popular.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- This stand - looks very interesting...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- ..for someone like me who isn't - too familiar with such plants.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I see flies are involved.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- All the plants on this stand - are insectivorous.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- What kind of things do we have?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- What kind of things do we have?- - People know the pitcher plant.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- You can see the large pitchers.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- Insects fall in - and are then eaten, in a way.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- That gives the plant energy.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- In five years, you get - these fantastic flowers as well.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- They may look exotic, - but they do grow outside.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- They'll withstand -5, I think.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- They'll withstand -5, I think.- - Fairly tough.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- But what you must have - for plants like these is rainwater.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Any other water - and they'll sulk and die.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- If you have an insect problem - in your greenhouse, try droseras.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- The foliage is covered - in what looks like droplets of glue.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- It shimmers, almost.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- They must be kept in over winter.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- They won't survive cold weather.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- The old favourites - are the venus fly traps.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Everyone wants to see them closing.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- If you make it close - when there are no insects there...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- ..it'll eat its own leaves - and the whole plant will die.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- We all have a problem - somewhere in the garden.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- Yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- This is the stand for you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- On this side - are plants for wooded areas.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- No sun at all.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Do you need sunshine?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Look at all the colours - and this fantastic foliage.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Your garden will look fantastic.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Then, further along, plants for wet - areas then ones that need more sun.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- These here are so fantastic.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- They look like candles.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I've tried planting them this year.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- My garden's not far from Snowdon, - and they're growing.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- These are all from the same family.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29- These with the fantastic markings - and these spathes coming up.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- That's the trick.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- You don't need lots of flowers.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- There aren't many flowers here, - but there's a lot of interest...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- ..through shape, foliage - and lots of colours.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- That's the bleeding heart.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Can you see the white flowers?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Can you see the white flowers?- - That shape is incredible.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- We must mention that this stand - has won best in show.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I'm not surprised.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- All this growth - will die down over winter.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Come spring, - it'll start to grow back...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- ..and you'll get this show - year after year.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- It's a magnificent display.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- I'd like to take a huge trolley, - pick one, two, three, four plants...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- ..and take them home with me.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- As a shepherd and shearer, - the sheep section interests me most.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- One breed that suits smallholders - is the Coloured Ryelands.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Ifan Lloyd, how are you?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49- Ifan Lloyd, how are you?- - Very well, thank you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- These here are Ryeland sheep.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- The coloured variety - has boomed over the past 25 years.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- As you can see, there are - almost 20 sheep in this class.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- What is this class?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- What is this class?- - These are yearlings.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- One thing - that we must remind people of....
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- ..is that the Ryeland - is a native British breed.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- They're from the rye grounds - of Hereford originally.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- They go back to Roman times.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- It's one of the oldest - British breeds.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- What do you look for in this sheep?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- What are the main objectives - when breeding them?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- A quality fleece is important.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- The wool should come down the legs.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- They should also have a good amount - of wool on the ears and face.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- The character of the head - is important in the Ryeland...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- ..but not more important - than the body.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55- You need a good body.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- Would you recommend the breed - for first-time sheep farmers?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- They're extremely popular.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Importantly, - Ryelands are easy to keep.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- They're quiet and friendly...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- ..so they're good - if you have children.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Even with the rams, - if you go into the field...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- ..they'll come to you, - almost like a dog.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- They're very docile, and people - like them as a consequence.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- They're also pretty to look at.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Is there any value to this wool?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Yes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Historically, - the Ryeland's fleece is a fine one.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Long ago, it was the best fleece - produced in Britain.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Back in the Middle Ages, - it was one of the best wools...
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- ..for making clothes, - jumpers and so on.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Woollen clothes.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- It's still very popular - for making such clothes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Some do stand out.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Some have been turned out very well.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- You have to remember, - there are novices here as well.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- A lot of these exhibitors - haven't been in the ring before.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- They're learning as they go on.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- The judge is lining the champion up.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- I think it's her first time - in a show.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- Isn't that great?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22- Isn't that great?- - Fantastic.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- How long have you kept Ryelands?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- How long have you kept Ryelands?- - Five years.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- This is my first - Coloured Ryeland class.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- You've done exceptionally well.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- And she's home-bred?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- And she's home-bred?- - Yes, she's home-bred.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Karen goes on to - the Coloured Ryeland championship.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- Congratulations to Sue McVicar - on the championship win...
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- ..and to Karen, - who got the reserve.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56- It's another break next.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- But stay with us - for more from the Spring Festival.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- .

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Welcome back to the Spring Festival.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- As you can see, - there is quite a lot of activity...
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- ..in the main ring behind us with - the vintage machinery exhibition.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- We've been wandering the Showground - meeting all sorts of characters.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- The Spring Festival - gave people the opportunity...
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- ..to take advantage - of information and advice...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- ..on succeeding as a smallholder.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- While on the Showground, I met a few - people who've bought smallholdings.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01- Angharad and Gruffydd Rees live on - a smallholding in the Dryslwyn area.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You both work full-time - at the moment.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Are you aiming - for some sort of dream life?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Yes. We bought a smallholding - back in August in Cwrt Henri.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- We also decided - to buy a few sheep and calves.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Our long-term dream - is to be self-sufficient.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Has that always been your dream - - since you were a boy?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- I lived next door - to my grandfather's farm.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- I was over there all the time - going after the sheep.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33- That was in the Crwbin area.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34- That was in the Crwbin area.- - Yes, that's right.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- That way of life has stuck with me.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Ifan here is seven weeks old.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Ifan here is seven weeks old.- - Yes, that's right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Are you building a life - for him as well?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Yes. I was brought up on a farm.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- I'm really grateful - for the experiences I had...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- ..living in a rural area - and on a farm.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- I hope he feels the same - as he grows up.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- You learn so much from living - on a farm and being outside.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Life experience.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Thank you and good luck to you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- Thank you and good luck to you.- - Thank you.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17- I've found someone who has literally - changed his way of life.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18- Owain Davies, how are you?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- Owain Davies, how are you?- - Fine, thanks.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- You come from Burry Port.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- What has happened - over the last few years?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- My wife decided - she wanted a change of lifestyle.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- She wanted some land and wanted - to keep a few chickens and pigs.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I'd always said no - but in the end I gave in.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- I wasn't looking forward to it...
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- ..because I thought - it would be a lot of hard work.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- But I have to say, I'm really - enjoying it since moving in.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- So is it a smallholding?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- So is it a smallholding?- - Yes, a small one.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- We have ten acres and we have - chickens and a couple of pigs.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- My daughter got a new horse - yesterday!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Do you also grow vegetables?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Yes, my wife - wanted to grow vegetables.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- That's one of her delights. - My father-in-law enjoys gardening.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- I put up a polytunnel.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- It isn't small - it's 60 feet long!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Last year, our first year...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- ..we were self-sufficient - in terms of vegetables.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- So it's great.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- It's great coming home from work and - eating food we've grown ourselves.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- So you didn't buy - a single vegetable?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- No, and we're looking forward - to the same thing this year.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- We've started eating things - from the polytunnel already.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- You have two children. - Your daughter's had a horse!
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- How has this change affected them?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- It's changed their attitude - towards life.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- I had my own business - and I spent a lot of time at work.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54- My son was looking to follow me - into the engineering industry.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- But once we bought this place...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- ..he started doing some work - for the farmer nearby.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- He helps out with milking - and drives the tractor.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- He left school at 16 last year...
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- ..and he's studying agriculture - at Gelli Aur.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- So it's been a real turnaround.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- You're living the dream!
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Yes, we really are.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Living the dream.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- I've come to the cattle shed - to join Mr Gareth Hamer.
0:28:36 > 0:28:36- Are you OK?
0:28:36 > 0:28:37- Are you OK?- - Yes, thanks.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- I understand this is the first time - Dexter cattle have been shown here.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- This is the first time Dexters - have had their own class.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- They've been here before but were - competing against other breeds.
0:28:55 > 0:29:01- Dexter cattle are ideal - for smallholders, aren't they?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- The fact that they're small - is one advantage.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- At the beginning, - they were bred to go on boats.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- They don't take up much room - because of their size.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19- They were milked on the boat and - then they were slaughtered for meat.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- What meat do you eat at home? - Do you eat Dexter?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Yes, that's what we eat at home.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- We breed Charolais cattle too - but we sell all of that meat...
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- ..and keep these for ourselves.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- We do sell some of the Dexter meat - in meat boxes.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Our customers keep coming back.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- When we sell a box, we already - have orders for the next one.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- Thanks, Gareth.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02- We've come down to the ring to see - Gareth Hamer and his father showing.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Gareth is showing the young bull.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- His father has the young heifer. - She is in-calf.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- In about six months, she will - give birth to her first calf.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- That's an excellent example - of a young Dexter bull.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- I'm sure that bull will bring them - a lot of success in future.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Mr Richard Hartshorn - has adjudicated his champion.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Congratulations to Miss and Mr - S&G Thomas & Bee from Caernarfon.
0:30:38 > 0:30:44- I believe it's the first time - they've come to Llanelwedd.
0:30:45 > 0:30:51- The reserve goes to the bull - owned by the Hamer family...
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- ..from Burry Port.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- It's really nice...
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- ..to see a father and son - competing together here.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- They're showing how hard they work, - keeping these breeds going.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Congratulations - to Mrs Jill Williams...
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- ..who won the supreme championship - for the second year running.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- The competition has ended. - How did it go?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- It went well.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- I had two first prizes, - reserve in the championship...
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- ..and then a first prize - with the pair.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- Are you hoping it will develop - and that more cattle will come?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Yes, I hope so.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- It would be nice to have - good-sized classes.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03- We often go to shows in England - and the classes are much bigger.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- In some shows, you'll have - 60 or 70 Dexters being shown.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- If we could have something like that - here, we'd be laughing!
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- It's nice that those - who won the championship...
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- ..were showing - for the first time ever.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- That's nice for them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- They should wear a badge - in their hat or something!
0:32:25 > 0:32:26- Thank you.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- The horse section at the - Spring Festival grows every year.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- The ridden championship for - the coloured horses and ponies...
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- ..took place on Sunday afternoon.

0:33:12 > 0:33:16- There is mixed ability - and experience in the class.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Who will come out on top?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- They are all - very different horses...
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- ..so it's very difficult to know - what the judge will be looking for.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- There is a small Shetland over there - which is lead rein...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- ..competing against the sport horse - Sam is riding.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- There is also - a traditional Gypsy Cob.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- It really just depends - on the judge's taste.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- An opportunity like this - is great for Sam.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- She's riding against other horses.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- Just being able to say you competed - in a championship is great.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07- She also competed in the Working - Hunter championship yesterday.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- That little girl - is riding the Shetland very well.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- They've been called back - to the centre.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- The judge looks as though - he's ready.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- Yes, I think so. He'll tip his hat - towards the winner.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- Well done. Well done.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- The winner of the championship - this year...

0:35:18 > 0:35:22- There are plenty of stands - dotted around the Showground...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- ..and plenty of people - to go shopping!
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- There is something for everyone - here, especially families.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- There are all sorts of stands here.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- There are quite a few - woodwork stands...
0:35:45 > 0:35:46- ..using local wood.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- I have come down to meet - a rather skilful woodworker.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00- Jody, how are you?
0:36:00 > 0:36:01- Jody, how are you?- - Fine, thanks.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- These are just fantastic.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- They look as though - they're ready to seat some giants!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- I just need someone - with a giant wallet to buy one!
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- So is this oak?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Yes, it's oak from Pwllheli - in Gwynedd.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- How did you start making things - like this?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- My father - does a lot of work with wood.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- I watched someone on YouTube - using a chainsaw mill.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- I fancied buying one.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30- That's how I learned really.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- I watched videos online and - spoke to people across the world.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- My own ideas developed from there.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- I suppose all you need - is the wood and your ideas.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47- A bit of imagination, respect for - the wood and a love of the work.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Large pieces of wood like this - don't just appear.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- It must be a lot of work - just to source the wood.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55- This one had fallen...
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- ..in the stormy weather we had - a couple of years ago.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- The guy who went to clear the debris - phoned me to tell me about it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- I went over and bought it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Is it important to you - that the wood is local?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Yes, and I wouldn't want to cut - a tree just to make furniture.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- I have a lot of respect for trees.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- This one had stood - for 200 or 300 years.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- Many people use fallen trees - for logs to burn.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- If I can stop them doing that and - make something like this, I'm happy.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- I hope you do well - and make some good money!
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- I've come to see Amanda Price.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41- What do you have here?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- We have a glamping pod.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- How did it come about?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- We have a farm - about ten miles from Builth Wells.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- We needed to boost our income.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- So we started a business, - mypod.wales
0:37:55 > 0:38:01- My husband built one - for our two sons.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Someone saw the pod - and wanted to buy it.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- So that's how it started.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Can you show me - the example you've brought?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- So this is for camping, is it?
0:38:22 > 0:38:28- It can be used for camping, as an - extra bedroom, as a therapy room.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- It can also be used as an office. - Anything really.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34- It seems very comfortable.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- I think I'll come for a sit-down - over the weekend!
0:38:38 > 0:38:38- Yeah!
0:38:38 > 0:38:39- Yeah!- - Thank you.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- I've now come to meet Keith, - who makes these objects.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- These are fantastic.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- The name suggests - that you make boxes!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- That's what I enjoy making mostly.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- We make some other small objects - to come to events like this.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- But my main interest - is in making the boxes.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- When I work with wood, - as you can see on this box...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- ..I try to keep the grain.
0:39:19 > 0:39:25- It's one piece of wood so the grain - goes all the way around the box.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- I've been doing this for about - 20 years. It was a hobby.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- We live in Llandegfan...
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- ..and my workshop - has a view of the Carneddau.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- It's a lovely place to be - and to work.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- I love doing these.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- I love doing these.- - Great stuff.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- I hope you sell them all - and that you have a good weekend.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49- Thank you.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- This festival develops every year.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- It reflects what is fashionable - and popular across the world.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- This is a new addition this year - - the street food area.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09- There is something for everyone - here.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- There's nowhere better - to start this street food tour...
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- ..than with the Dusty Knuckle - company whose pizzas smell amazing!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- They are handmade - and cooked in the oven behind us.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Phil is the founder of the company.
0:40:31 > 0:40:32- Phil, how are you?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Phil, how are you?- - Fine, thank you.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- Tell me about Dusty Knuckle.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- We started out about two years ago.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- I built the oven in my garden.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- We've now opened a place in Cardiff.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46- Wow! Is it going well?
0:40:46 > 0:40:47- Wow! Is it going well?- - Yes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- There are lots of small pieces - of pizza here. This is the base.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Do you want to pull one?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58- Do you want to pull one?- - Yes. Can I?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59- Of course.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- That's it. Then lift it.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Like this.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09- OK.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- That's it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12- Don't laugh!
0:41:12 > 0:41:13- Don't laugh!- - Sorry.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Put it on the back of your hand.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Like this.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Then start pulling it.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22- Oh!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Right, - I think I'll leave it to the expert.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28- Phil, thank you very much.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Good luck.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- I'm continuing - with my street food tour.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- I've come to see Illtud Dunsford.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44- How are you?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45- How are you?- - Good, thanks.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- I usually connect you - with Charcutier...
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- ..a company based in Pontyates.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Yes, we make specialist meats.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- So Little Blue Ox - is like a sub-brand.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- Yes, we produce American products - like Texas Hot Links...
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- ..Frankfurters, Bratwurst and so on.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- I felt we could market them - in a different way.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- We make products - for other street food companies.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- So how did this idea come about?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- When travelling in America.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- We tend to think of American food - as poor quality food.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- But there is also - food of high quality.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- So we've just tried to improve - some of the American classics.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- We've learned how to make - our products by travelling.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- In 2011, I went - to Iowa State University...
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- ..to learn how to make - some American meats.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- This is something I learned about - five years ago...
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- ..but we've only just launched it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- These look tasty - and look as though they need eating!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Let's tuck in.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Thank you, Illtud.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49- You can leave now!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- This isn't going to be pretty!
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- Sheep - are relatively easy animals to keep.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- After two days of competition - in the sheep section...
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- ..who will win the championship?
0:43:23 > 0:43:28- Sheep are very popular - with smallholders.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30- Numbers are very high this year.
0:43:31 > 0:43:36- Yes. I think it shows the festival - is going from strength to strength.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41- It's a good opportunity - for those with small flocks.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45- There are some rare British breeds - here.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50- It's nice that there is a chance - to show those breeds.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54- These are the best of their breeds.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- It's nice to see them all - standing together.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00- They have all been turned out well - today.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- Showing has become a real art.
0:44:04 > 0:44:09- The sheep are bred for years, fed - for months and prepared for weeks.
0:44:14 > 0:44:19- What do they need to have - to win this championship?
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- I think he'll be looking at - the mouth, the meat...
0:44:23 > 0:44:24- ..and maybe the wool.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27- The feet have to be right as well.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- The sheep's teeth have to touch - each other, don't they?
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- Yes, they have to touch the pad - at the top of the mouth.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40- If they don't, - the sheep won't survive.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- What happened there? Everyone seemed - to let their sheep go.
0:44:55 > 0:45:01- The judge wanted to see them walking - on their own, without being led.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- They learn to be led - but when they walk on their own...
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- ..you can see - if they have any problems walking.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11- It's important to see the animal - walking naturally.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- It's becoming more and more - important.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37- The judge has made his decision.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- The North Country Cheviot sheep - is the winner.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43- It's a good sheep.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- This is the champion sheep - out of 828 entries.
0:45:47 > 0:45:52- It's a smart sheep but - it's also of commercial standard.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56- Yes. She shows herself well. She's - standing well on all four legs.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- She holds herself gracefully.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02- She's also lively.
0:46:05 > 0:46:10- Congratulations to you - with the North Country Cheviot.
0:46:10 > 0:46:11- Tell me a bit about the sheep.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- Tell me a bit about the sheep.- - She's homebred.

0:46:32 > 0:46:37- What were the highlights for you - over the last two days?
0:46:37 > 0:46:41- The great highlight for me was just - being here for the first time.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45- But of course, it was the sheep shed - and all the different breeds.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- The main thing for me - was seeing all the native breeds.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54- We're used to seeing commercial - breeds but it was so nice...
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- ..to see young people - showing the best from their breeds.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59- What about you?
0:46:59 > 0:47:03- I enjoyed meeting all the different - families and couples...
0:47:03 > 0:47:08- ..who had thought about - changing their way of life...
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- ..and who had actually done - something about it!
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- This festival - is a celebration of that...
0:47:15 > 0:47:19- ..and is enough to inspire anyone - who walks through those gates.
0:47:19 > 0:47:24- That's it. Our journey is over. - Thank you for joining us.
