0:17:18 > 0:17:21- You'd like the bull - to be a bit more powerful.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- The cow dominates a bit too much.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- A less substantial cow would help.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- A less substantial cow would help.- - I agree.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Excitement is building - and the tension is mounting.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18- It could have gone either way.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- ..Eirwyn Richards - of Cwmcelynen, Pumpsaint.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- It's the Texel, Hywel.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- That's the right decision.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- I think that's the right decision.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- That's a freakish ewe lamb.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- That was the result on the day.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39- A great balance - in these five to be honest...
