0:13:12 > 0:13:16- We also have - the North Country Cheviot.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37- It's an ancient breed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- It's an ancient breed.- - It is.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- The word Herdwick - comes from old English.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- It's a word that originates - perhaps in the 12th century...
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- ..and refers to a piece of land - where sheep graze.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- So the breed dates back a long way.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- The judge, Peter Williams - from Monmouthshire...
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- ..has a tough task - comparing different breeds.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- But he's made a decision.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22- They're very fit.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- I think because these are tough - events, you have to harden yourself.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- It's the same with shearing, - you need perseverance.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- It's great that even - in the big heat yesterday...
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- ..they could keep going even - when it was still hot at 5.00pm.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- It's incredible.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Dewi, you've just been competing - in a forestry competition.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Tell us a little about this - competition. What was it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- In English, - it's called a standing block.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- It's meant to emulate - felling a tree.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- You cut to halfway from one side - and then run around...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- ..and cut a little higher - from the other side.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Then you drive it like that.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- There's no doubt - it's a pretty tough challenge.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- What's the appeal for you, - personally?
0:17:42 > 0:17:43- It's a lot of fun.
