-He's made his decision. Tecwyn

-Jones from Nebo takes first prize.

-Congratulations.

-He doesn't go home from the Fair

-without a red rosette very often.

-This is the moment

-we've been waiting for.

-The culmination of high-quality

-competition in the Cattle Ring.

-We've had the heifer

-and steer championships.

-The winners now go head-to-head.

-Will it be the heifer or the steer?

-A Welsh heifer

-against a Scottish steer.

-The steer looks an excellent animal.

-The steer looks an excellent animal.

-

-Two lovely creatures.

-Tecwyn Jones. Well done.

-It's the one and only

-Dai Davies from Llandeilo.

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-He told me to say that.

-Have you been busy?

-Yes, I usually steward here.

-This year, I've had the honour

-of adjudicating a few classes.

-I've been adjudicating

-the juniors, juveniles and trios.

-This champion junior cockerel

-is an Indian Runner.

-That's a breed that

-when they stand up straight...

-..they should look

-like a bottle of wine.

-He's the winner of the Juniors.

-Up here,

-we've got a champion Juvenile.

-It's so pretty.

-It's so pretty.

-

-This is a Sebright hen.

-It must be white

-with black lacing all over.

-Here are the trios.

-In this class you need a cockerel

-and two hens of the same breed.

-It's all about their colour.

-Quite a task as a judge.

-Have you enjoyed it?

-I have but I also won first place

-with the only bird I was showing.

-Congratulations and thanks

-for teaching us about the hens.

-I started out when I was twelve

-with my uncle in Llanerch-y-medd.

-He was an old fashioned butcher

-like me.

-The meat in this shop, I can tell

-you what month, week, day...

-..and close to what hour the animal

-was born and where it came from.

-Here's the richest man in Anglesey.

-I'm a devil for pulling legs.

-I have my leg pulled too.

-If you deal it, you have to take it.

-Ask where I live out on the street

-they'll tell you...

-..the old devil lives over there.

-I look at the live animal and guess

-what the carcass will be like.

-They need good length,

-selling the legs is easy.

-You need an eye of meat in a chop

-with some fat. A red eye is no good.

-Meat that's too lean isn't that

-tasty. You need a bit of fat.

-If the Queen was showing a lamb

-that merited third, third she'd get.

-Exhibitors' faces have no relevance.

-Tom's big day has arrived.

-This is the Pure

-Continental Breeds Championship.

-Myfanwy, this is

-a breed close to your heart.

-Llanddeusant wins with Dutch Texels.

-The next feast for the eyes is

-the Butcher's Weight Championship.

-the quality in this section.

-There are

-familiar names in the ring.

-The big guns are on show.

-Can Robin Slade claim his second

-supreme championship in a row?

-Huge respect to him.

-He's an old, old hand at it now.

-Michael Owens, Glantre, Pontsian

-has two pairs in the race.

-The sun is shining on them.

-They look like Snow White

-because they are like snow.

-Tricks of the trade.

-It's the Owens family,

-Glantre, Pontsian.

-Michael, Heulwen, Andrew and Chris.

-How many of you have seen

-this fella on the S4C website?

-I'm glad to welcome you here.

-Meat Promotion Wales

-invited you here.

-They saw the ways I was

-cooking Eryri mountain lambs.

-I was delighted they wanted me here.

-You cook the lamb in a very

-different way with an Asado.

-My eyes are very red.

-I've been in the smoke

-since 6.00am this morning.

-I'm cooking with an iron cross

-like they used to do in Patagonia.

-Three on the Asado

-and one ready to eat

-This one's ready to eat.

-This one's ready to eat.

-

-Take a little piece.

-I can't wait to taste something

-that's been cooked slowly for...

-..seven hours.

-Welsh lamb, awesome.

-They eat herbs, flowers and berries.

-You can taste it in the meat.

-There's a hint of the smoke.

-The little hint of smoke

-comes from the seasoned hardwood.

-That makes it subtle.

-Very tasty.

-Look at the people attracted

-to the Meat Promotion Wales stand.

-I'll let you get on.

-Good luck to you.

-Lamb with the best crackling

-you'll ever taste. Better than pork.

-

-That's true.

-To a butcher, how do these look?

-To a butcher, how do these look?

-be a good eye to the chop.

-Washed and shined up.

-The decision is made.

-Who has won?

-Andrew Davies from Llannon.

-Come over here. How do you feel?

-Why is a butcher prepared

-to pay so much for one lamb?

-It's a one-off special purchase.

-It's to be recognised

-as the shop that bought it...

-..and they get the

-rosette for the shop window.

-It's important for us

-to visit the Winter Fair.

-Everyone is willing to stop

-and have a chat at the Fair.

-I like to watch the auctions

-because I want to be an auctioneer.

-It means a lot to me.

-We don't have any

-other holidays as a family.

-Usually, I'm just

-a taxi driver for them!

-Championship time arrived

-in the Sheep Ring too.

-Time to face the judge, Tom Hughes.

-Now then, this is the climax

-of the sheep competitions.

-All the section winners

-go up against each other...

-They went for 600 each last year

-and 1,500 the previous year.

-Back in 2008, they went

-for 3,400, so who knows?

-John, it's hard

-to guess what will happen.

-Will they improve on last year?

-They're up to 280 at the moment.

-Prices have risen over the past

-couple of days. That augurs well.

-Who do you think will buy them?

-Could it be the judge himself?

-Tom Hughes is a strong favourite.

-He always supports the RWAS.
