-Hello and welcome to Ffermio. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
-Our attention -is focused on the news... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
-..that avian flu was discovered -here in Wales a few weeks ago. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
-During the programme, we'll find out -the latest about the disease. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
-We'll also get expert advice -on how to protect your poultry. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
-Also on the programme, Alun meets -some champion pigs in Llithfaen. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
-It was a big privilege -for us to win. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
-The judges' comments... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
-..were that the enterprise -was holistic... | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
-..and that the breeding -and pedigree side of things... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-..were being combined -with the marketing. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-We also visit -the Oxford Farming Conference. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-There were a variety of speakers -and Brexit was the main subject. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-First, before Christmas... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-..it was confirmed that the H5N8 -avian flu strain had reached Wales. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
-What's the latest and how -can we keep our poultry healthy? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
-The first case was found -in a wild duck in Llanelli. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-Since then, -the virus has been found... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
-..in a flock of hens and ducks -on a smallholding in Pontyberem... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-..and in a wild duck in Conwy. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
-What is the advice of Wales' -Chief Vet, Christianne Glossop? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-If we're right in assuming... | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-..that the key risk factor -is wild bird transmission... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-..then what everyone with poultry -and any captive birds can do... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-..is all they can -to protect their birds... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
-..from contact -with those wild birds. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-We know we have infected wild birds -in various parts of Great Britain. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-So, we can't assume -that any wild bird is safe. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-We introduced a requirement -across Britain before Christmas... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
-..that all captive birds -should be brought indoors. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-We know that's sometimes -not possible. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-It's difficult -to house certain species. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-The idea is to break the contact -between wild and domestic birds. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-At least putting a fine mesh cover -over a pen... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-..and making sure that birds are -always fed and watered indoors... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:33 | |
-..will reduce the risk of contact -between wild and domestic birds. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-That's a key thing people can do. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
-Another is to think hard -about biosecurity. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-There is a real risk -that if someone... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-..is out walking or shooting... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-..and have direct contact -with a wild bird... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-..and then come home without washing -their boots, their hands... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
-..or worse still, -bring the dead bird home... | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-..and put it -anywhere near their poultry... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-..then there's a risk -their birds could become infected. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-It's about biosecurity and housing. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-Since the start of December... | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
-..Wales has been -an avian flu prevention zone. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-The government -asks keepers of poultry... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-..and other captive birds -to keep their birds inside. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-What does that mean -for poultry farmers... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-..like Gareth Jones, the manager -here at Rhug Estate near Corwen? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
-The government guidelines say... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-..that everyone who keeps birds -must keep them inside. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-They're used to being outside. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-The way we farm is for them -to be outside all day, every day. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-Now, obviously, -we must keep them indoors. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-How many hens do you have here? | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-At any one point, we have -between 7,500 and 8,000 hens. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
-Have the confirmed -avian flu cases in the UK... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-..affected the business -here at Rhug at all? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-No, not the Rhug business -as it is presently. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-We can still export meat. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-It depends exactly -on where the outbreaks occur. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-We hope -that there won't be any more. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-What are your hopes now? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
-They have to stay inside -until 28 February. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-We know that. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-That's the target. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
-We hope it will -have cleared up by then... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-..and that everything -will be back to normal after that. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-Leading vet Gareth Edwards... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-..is keeping a close eye -on the situation. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-This strain -doesn't have any unique symptoms. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-In the cases we have seen, -the birds got ill very quickly. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-Some die -without showing many symptoms. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Others have breathing problems. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-They can also lose their balance. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-It can affect -their central nervous system. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-It's a strain -that hits hens and turkeys rapidly. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-With ducks and geese, -there are sometimes no symptoms... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-..but they can carry the virus. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-The Food Standards Agency says... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-..that the meat or eggs -don't pose a risk. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-We need to be alert just in case. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-Should people be very worried? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-Not at the moment. -The risk is quite low. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-But we must be wary, -follow the guidelines... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-..and assess things as we move on. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-If you're worried about your birds -or discover dead birds... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-..contact DEFRA's helpline. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-It might be a new year... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-..but the burning issue at Oxford's -Farming Conference was the same. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-Brexit. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
-Meinir has more. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-For 80 years, this conference has -been held in the university town. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:06 | |
-The theme this year -was Thrive or Survive. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-It's an apt subject -given the upcoming process... | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-..of the UK leaving the EU. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-I've been coming here for 15 years. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-I think there's more uncertainty -at this year's conference. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-Yesterday, there was definitely -an atmosphere in the room. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-Things are changing so much -on the political side. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-We're coming out of Europe... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-..and there's a mood -I haven't noticed before. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:40 | |
-I have mixed feelings -about this conference. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-It's a great opportunity to see -what's going on in the industry. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-At the start of the year, -we're trying to discover... | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-..which themes will be -at the forefront of politics... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-..and what is likely to happen. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-Every year, the conference starts -with a political session. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
-DEFRA Secretary Andrea Leadsom -was the first to speak. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
-She felt that the EU had held -farmers back over the years... | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-..but there were few details... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-..about UK agricultural policy -outside the EU. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-Discussions are centred -around Brexit at the moment. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-As Andrea Leadsom said, -the White Paper is there. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
-The direction the country will take -hasn't been decided... | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-..so it's an opportunity for farmers -to contribute to the debate. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-We know that CAP isn't perfect, -the EU isn't perfect. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-This is a chance -to create something better. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-That's a question -about specific policy detail... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-..that we don't have -at this stage... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-..but certainly, during this year, -that is the absolute focus. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-I admired -Andrea Leadsom's confidence... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-..but I felt -that it was misplaced confidence. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-I was very disappointed -when she was asked a question... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
-..about the future -of upland sheep farmers. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-She had no response at all. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-Does she have -her finger on the pulse... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-..of the kind of agriculture -we have in Wales? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-The strong message that the union -is trying to send out... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-..is that the UK should have entry -to the single market... | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-..tariff-free if possible. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-The European market is especially -important to us in Wales... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
-..because so much Welsh lamb -goes there. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
-We also need people -coming to work... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-..not just on farms... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-..but in the factories -that keep farmers going. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-Following Andrea Leadsom's speech, -Lesley Griffiths joined a panel... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
-..that included ministers -and other agriculture spokespersons. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-I very much see that we will -have a Welsh agricultural policy. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-However, I absolutely recognize -that there will need to be... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-..frameworks in place -following leaving the EU. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-I was very pleased... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
-..with the way -that Lesley Griffiths... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-..acknowledged the need -for a Welsh policy, if you like... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-..within the framework of UK policy. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-I was pleased to hear her -speaking so positively... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-..about establishing Welsh policy. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-But I would have liked her... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-..to show more support -for the Scottish minister. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
-He emphasized the need -to keep the same budget... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:44 | |
-..and the first pillar's importance -to the agricultural industry. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-It wasn't just politicians -that took to the stage. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-There were speakers -from different fields and countries. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-I really enjoyed Falcon Coffee's -presentation this morning. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:04 | |
-It was interesting to hear how his -business developed over the years... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
-..the challenges he had faced, -his experience of the industry... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
-..his understanding of his customers -and how he interacts with them. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-It was great to see. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-One speaker who stirred things up -was journalist George Monbiot... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-..who has been critical of both -the CAP and upland sheep farming. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:34 | |
-Number two, that farmers being paid -nine pence in the pound... | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
-..for what the produce sells for -in the supermarket is an outrage. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-The other panellists -were Minette Batters from the NFU... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-..vegetable farmer Guy Poskitt... | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-..and Helen Ghosh, the Director -General of the National Trust. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-It's a challenge for me as a farmer. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
-I want to produce food. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-I know I have to look -at the landscape around me. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
-But at the end of the day, -I must make a profit. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-What George Monbiot -has been talking about... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-..doesn't make sense, -especially in the short term. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-He was saying -that farmers should sell water... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-..but where will we get the money -to make the farm flourish? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
-With regards -to what Helen Ghosh had to say... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-..she said that her vision... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-..was to achieve -a prosperous industry. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-I obviously agreed with that... | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-..but when she talked about -her seven important elements... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
-..one of the most important -was public goods. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-She didn't say a word about food... | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-..during those seven key principles. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-I'd like to remind people... | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-..that producing food -is a part of the public goods. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:03 | |
-Keeping people and their culture -in the uplands is a part of it. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
-Keeping the language and industry -is also a part of it. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
-I cannot overemphasize, -in the context of the industry... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
-..agriculture keeps other industries -within the agricultural communities. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:23 | |
-To me, that is the essence -of public goods. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-Among the policy discussions, -there were inspiring stories... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-..from crop farmer Alison Capper... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-..and Jack Hamilton, from a family -of potato and vegetable farmers... | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-..about the importance -of building a brand... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-..and developing a business -with an emphasis on exporting. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-We heard in the last session... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-..about people exporting -and selling their produce... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-..to the rest of the world. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-Maybe, as producers, -we don't think big enough. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-We think of our own country -and selling in the local market. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-Thank goodness -for the last session. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
-We heard from farmers -who are succeeding. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-I have a lot of confidence -in the farmers around me. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
-Agriculture will be different, -but it has always changed. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-Our challenge -is to find the best things... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-..and to fight our corner -in the world that's out there. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
-I'm sure that in ten years, -the industry will be different. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-Some will have succeeded, -some won't have, but that's life. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-But we must accept -the fight that's ahead of us. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-That's it for now. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
-After the break, Alun meets -the Oinc Oink pig champions. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
-I'll see you in a minute. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |

-Welcome back to Ffermio. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-Pork is the most popular meat -in the world. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-More and more people in Wales -are keeping pigs. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-Alun has been visiting -a husband and wife... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-..who have made -a successful business... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-..by producing and processing pork. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-Huw and Ela Roberts -and their children... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-..have farmed Ffridd in Llithfaen -near Pwllheli since 2007. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:31 | |
-Although they keep 40 Welsh Black -cattle and 200 Welsh Mule sheep... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
-..the pigs get the majority -of their attention these days. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
-We went to the Winter Fair in 2006. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-That was the first time I heard Huw -say that he wanted to keep a pig. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-Right. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
-And from there, I asked which breed -he would consider. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
-He said either a Welsh Pig, -or a Black Pig. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
-And I said, as we live in Wales, -we should go for the Welsh breed. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:07 | |
-You've created -a very well-known brand - Oinc Oink. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-How did you get the name -and how did the brand develop? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
-My brother in law suggested it -as a joke. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:22 | |
-We couldn't think -of a better name... | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |

-We saw the application form -in one of the pig magazines... | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-..and thought -it would be worth trying for it. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
-We competed in the Pedigree Breeder -of the Year category. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |

-The judges' comments... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-..were that the enterprise -was holistic... | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
-..and that the breeding -and pedigree side of things... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-..were being combined -with the marketing. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-And there's history behind us here. -This sow is very special. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |

-Is this a sow? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
-Is this a sow? - -Yes. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
-Tell me about her history. -That's a different breed. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-She's a Saddleback. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-She was covered with a boar -about three months ago. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:33 | |
-Was she? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-And the boar's name was Walter. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-Walter?! | 0:17:39 | 0:17:39 | |
-Walter?! - -Yes. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |

-What is the name of your pig? - -Jean. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
-Jean? Did you choose that name? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-Yes? Why do you like pigs then? | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
-Because I like having sausages. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-Sausages! Well, that's what -they are, in the end, isn't it?! | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
-Yes, yes. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
-And do you like living on a farm? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-Is it nice living on a farm? -Why is it nice living on a farm? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-Because of the animals. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
-Because of the animals? -Yes, I'm sure. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-When the pigs have been fattened, -they're taken to Corwen abattoir... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
-..and are returned to the farm to be -processed. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-Here we are in the meat house. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-It's very tidy. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-You have everything you need -to process the animal. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-Yes, we fetch the whole carcass -from Corwen... | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
-..and a butcher comes here -to help us to cut the pig up. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:52 | |
-Then the meat is packaged and -prepared for the markets... | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
-..and all the sausages -are made here. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
-You've also had to be a butcher, -to all extents and purposes. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-I've been on a course to learn -some skills to butcher a pig... | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
-..and also to make the sausages. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |

-We had a first -in the pork burgers... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-..and were very successful -with the sausage rolls. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
-They got 99 out of 100. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
-Are you planning -to grow the business... | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
-..or are you happy being able -to control things as you are? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-We're hopeless at planning! | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-There was no plan -from the first day a pig came here. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-We're trying to do it -so that it supports the family. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:00 | |
-When we need it, -we have staff who help part-time... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:06 | |
-..especially -with the hog roast business. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-We have relatives and friends -who come in at such times. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
-Is that one of the things -that brings you the most profit? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
-Yes, the pig roasting does. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-That side has grown, and I hope -that for the sake of the business... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:29 | |
-..that we'll see -a financial improvement. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
-Where are your customers? -Are they nearby or far away? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-Everyone's quite local. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
-We started by supplying SPAR -in Pwllheli. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-From there, it has grown -to supplying local butchers. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
-We go to the market in Porthmadog -on the last Saturday of each month. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
-That has turned out -to be a very good market for us. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-We have many regular customers -who come back from month to month. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-We're very lucky that our customers -keep coming back each month. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:06 | |
-Although the pig business is going -from strength to strength... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
-..Huw and Ela are very fond of -Welsh Mules and their Welsh Blacks. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
-The sheep and the cattle -were here before the pigs. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
-The Welsh Black cattle -suit us perfectly. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:27 | |
-There are many bogs on the farm -and they graze those parts... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:33 | |
-..and the sheep graze -the best fields on the farm. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
-I'm speaking with you, Huw, -as if you own the cattle. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
-Do you get on well together -as you look after things? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
-I'd better say that we do, -in front of the camera! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-Huw concentrates more -on the sheep and cattle. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
-As we've started processing -the pork meat on the farm... | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
-..a large part of my time -goes on selling the meat. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-But when he needs a hand, -I try my best to help. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
-During the lambing season, -I love being out amongst them. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-And the next generation have a huge -interest in your way of farming. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:17 | |
-Yes, they love it. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
-They're out with us -every chance they get. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-In the wind, rain, the sun - -all weather! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-They love being amongst the stock. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-From the hens, to the bulls, -they're very happy. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
-That's it for this week. -Thank you for your company. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
