0:00:43 > 0:00:46- The Limousins have snatched - the Team of Five.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09- Will the Lims continue to rule? - Let's see.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- The Team of Five competition is - the best sight at the Show for me.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- John Phillips, chairman of the - Limousin Society, you must agree...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- ..considering the success - you've had recently.

0:01:51 > 0:01:56- How do you choose your five best - animals as a society for the comp?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- It's quite a task.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- The breed competitions - have been in the morning.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Then the judge for the breed - joins a few others...
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- ..and they head for the sheds to try - and find five that match perfectly.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- The best individuals - don't always make it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- You must have at least - one animal of each sex in the team.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- You can't have - five bulls or five heifers.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30- You mentioned there that sometimes - the individual champions miss out.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Normally though, they do make it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- You look for power. Some breeds - decide to go for five young animals.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Power comes into the reckoning.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- You have power this year.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- One of the best - Limousin bulls I've ever seen.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Are you quietly confident?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Quietly.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- The Simmentals have ruled - so far at the Royal Welsh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- They took the Supreme - Beef Championship yesterday...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- ..and claimed the reserve prize - in the FitzHugh this afternoon.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- I have the honour of joining you, - Dai, for my highlight of the week.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- The Team of Five.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- This is the highlight.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- We have Llyr Hughes from Anglesey - who breeds Limousins...
0:03:38 > 0:03:44- ..and Alwyn Rees from Meirionnydd, - a familiar voice at the show.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- This is an honour, boys.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54- It's an amazing spectacle - for the crowds to watch.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- It's a feast - for the eye and the soul.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- It pulls on the heartstrings - to see these cattle being tuned out.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- You know the judge well.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Richard Jones. We all know him - as Dick the Auctioneer.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- He's based at Dolgellau Market.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- He's been there for many years.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Alwyn, you know - the Charolais very well indeed.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Tell us about them.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Without showing too much favouritism - I must point out...
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- ..that the two at each end were - the FitzHugh Champions earlier.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- Many of them belong to - Boden & Davies from Cheshire.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- The young bull is supplied by - Kevin Thomas. He's very promising.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- It's a promising team.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- The favourites are stepping up now - considering their past record.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- These are your breed, Llyr.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- This is a real challenge - to the Charolais.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- You'd like the bull - to be a touch bigger...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- ..but he matches nicely - with the females.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- It's a great team.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- The Simmentals take their turn - in front of the judges.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- I'm not sure about this team. There - are some very strong individuals.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- There are - very young heifers in there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- They are around a year old.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- There's one very special cow - in there that I'm a huge fan of.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- She really stands out again - this year.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- They don't really - come together as a team for me.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- That single cow is exceptional.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- She makes the team on her own.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- And now the Highland Cattle - who are enjoying a renaissance.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- They live on heather and reeds.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Where can by it?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I have plenty of it if you want it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- They live on very little, I swear.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- They are quite a sight as a team.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19- People from an non-agricultural - background will love seeing these.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- It's great to see them here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Alwyn, Richard has done a good job.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- He's taken his time - and been very thorough.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Yes, they must all be given - exactly the same chance.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Many of these cattle, like the - British Blondes, for example...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- ..have travelled - a long way to be here today.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- We can look down the line - and see the Salers coming up.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Llyr, this breed is increasing - in Wales every year.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- It crosses really - well with continental breeds.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- They have become very fashionable.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- They're excellent cows - with good width on the pelvis.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- That helps with calving.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- However, you'd like the bull - to be a bit more powerful.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Yes, the cow does dominate - a bit too much.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- You could have a lighter cow.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- You could have a lighter cow.- - I agree.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Excitement is building - and the tension is mounting.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- The crowd is on its feet - and they're ready for some fun.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40- He is ready to address the audience - before he chooses his winner.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Let's hear from the judge, - Richard Jones.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Ladies and Gentlemen, - the champions today...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- ..are the Charolais.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52- Yes!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- The Charolais have won!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- That is a real Team of Five.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- The Limousins are reserve champions.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04- It was very close.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- It could have gone either way.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- It's always the judge's decision - but what a team from the Charolais.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- I am Ela Roberts, this is my - husband, Huw, Emyr, who is seven...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- ..and Anest who is five.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- This year has been very successful.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- We won the championship and reserve - in the Welsh Pig boar class.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50- We won the sow championship and she - also won the breed championship.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- In 2015, when Emyr was only five...
0:08:55 > 0:09:02- ..he asked a man from Wigan - if he could have a Saddleback.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- A year later, Mr Mulkeen came back - to the Anglesey Show...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- ..with a young Saddleback for Emyr.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Doris, the sow, - was ultimately taken to a boar...
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- ..and a litter of pigs was born - at the end of January, 2017.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Walter was one of them.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- We will show the Saddleback pig - on behalf of Emyr.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- He'll be looking on - as we sweat in the enclosure.
0:09:32 > 0:09:39- I prefer Welsh pigs - because they are pink.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45- I prefer Saddleback pigs because - they're not as colourful...
0:09:45 > 0:09:51- ..and they're different from Welsh - pigs like Mam, Dad and Anest.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03- We've reached the Saddleback - Championship in the pig enclosure.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Liz Shankland has been - watching the competition.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- This is the climax - for the Saddlebacks.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- What do you make of these two - vying for this year's championship?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- It's always exciting - when you reach this moment.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- The large sow, - the female champion...
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- ..is up against the young boar.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- They are very different animals...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- ..and it's a tough job - to pick a winner.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45- The judge has made his decision and - has gone towards Amanda Phillips.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- She is from Pembrokeshire - and many congratulations to her.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- In the final part, more - celebrations in the Sheep Ring...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- ..muscles shimmer and strain - in the Woodland Area...

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- One of the reasons we chose - the Ferguson Brown tractor...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- ..was that my father sold - new David Brown tractors...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- ..between - the seventies and nineties.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- We have history with - the David Browns in the family.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26- These are quite rare now but - they were the fashion of the time.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- You can see how they've developed...
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- ..from buckets of rust - to the modern machines.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- This project is finished now.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- There's an empty corner of the - garage ready for the next project.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Their colour attracts - a lot of people.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- At the end of the day, they have - the same qualities as Texels.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42- They've started winning - interbreed championships.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- They can compete - with any breed really.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43- Why do you want to keep - these Blue Texels?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Firstly, the commercial men - like them for selling the rams.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- For me, I like them because they're - smaller than the Charollais...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- ..and easier to handle to learn - the traits of the farming world...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- ..so that when I'm older - I can progress in that industry.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Massive congratulations to you.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- He lost his arm clearly...

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- They are ready to go for it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- The axemen are in position.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Nick is doing really well.
