0:05:07 > 0:05:13- The In Hand Champion - at the 2016 Royal Welsh Show.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- He's quite a sight.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- It's very easy - to explain this competition.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- It's the shearers - against the axe men.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Cutting things is the goal.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- The axe men cut trees while - the shearers cut wool off the lambs.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- The faster the better!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- The only thing you don't want to cut - is your toes!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- It's a bit of fun. As commentators, - we try to get the excitement going.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- We try to create some rivalry - between the two lots.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- It's developed a bit now.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- There's a bit of teasing going on.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- "Those shearers can't be trusted" - and so on.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- They say that there are tactics - going on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- But I think that's more down - to the axe men than the shearers.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- I've never seen a block of wood - kicking. A sheep certainly can!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- It's easier for the shearers - to change a few details.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Two years ago, they decided to shear - the bellies of all the lambs.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Then someone pointed out there's - more wool on a pocket handkerchief!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Shearers just shear - what's put in front of them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- We'll see what the axe men do - this afternoon.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Stand by your logs.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- One, two, three. Go!
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- Here we go, then. It's the shearers - against the axe men.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- The axe men are from the Wye Valley.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Daf Davies is challenging - on behalf of the shearers.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- The axe men have taken the lead.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Dafydd Davies - has turned to the second pen.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- But who will be the first - to make it to the second?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- The axe men have changed hands.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Dafydd Davies - has only just finished his lamb.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Down it goes. - Llywelyn is the second shearer.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- The axe man is already halfway.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- He's gobbling up that wood!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- The axes have come from New Zealand.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- But it's Welshmen who are taking - each other on at the moment.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- I'm not sure - who will split the wood first.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It's very close. - Llywelyn is on the home run.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Down the final side.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Who is going to win? It's so close!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Llywelyn pulls the cord. - The shearers win it!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Only just!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- The shearers won the day - in the intermediate section.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- They also won the senior section.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Lloyd Rees is flying!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Lloyd Rees is flying!- - It's so close!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Lloyd Rees wins the day.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- But in the open - and masters sections...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- ..the axe men were the winners.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- The score was equal.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Sam Saunders, the New Zealand team - manager, is bound to be behind.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- The Kiwi on the axe has beaten - the Kiwi on the handpiece!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- The axe men take it this time.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Sam Saunders - is still having some trouble.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31- It's equal again at 2-2.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Everything was at stake - in the final.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- One, two, three, go!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Off we go for the international race - between shearers and axe men.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- The French are up against - Denmark and Tasmania.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- A little kick for Jalle Resneau...
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- ..which gives Todd Nielson - from Tasmania a bit of time.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- He has nearly finished. - Watch your toes, Todd!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Todd Nielson has finished.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Wow, things have changed here.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- This is the Danish axe champion.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- These Reseneau women - - I think this is the second, Jalle...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- ..are shearing very fast indeed.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- The second shearer is going for it. - They're both at it at the same time!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Resneau has started a little early - but no matter.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25- The other one got a kick!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- He has given a chance to the axe men - once again.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- He's the champion - who's come all the way from Denmark.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Elonore Resneau - is a little bit behind.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Jalle Resneau had a bit of a kick.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- But the axe men showed no mercy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- It seems to me that it's 3-2 - to the axe men this time.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- A day to remember - here at the shearing centre!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Over the last three years, - Welsh Black, South Devon...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- ..and Hereford cattle have won - the Native Breeds Championship.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- But which trio - would come up trumps this year?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Well here he is, - Mr Boomer Birch, the judge.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- He has his work cut out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Yes. It's quite difficult.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- The Devon cattle - are very impressive.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Yes, they certainly stand out.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- It's very quiet here. - The judge is behind the cattle.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- He's looking at - the most important part...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- ..in terms of judging their value.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- There are eight groups of three.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- The judge - is going to select the best four.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Do you have a preference, Deio?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- The South Devon and the Welsh Black - stand out for me.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- For me, the Devons - have the best group of three.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- The North Devons - are being pulled out.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- He has selected four.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- The Welsh Blacks, the Herefords, the - South Devons and the North Devons.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52- He's going now...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- It's the Herefords, as I thought!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- He had brought them this far.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- The bull has certainly carried - the rest of the breed here today.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- There is absolutely nothing wrong - with the two cows.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- But the bull is exceptional.
