:06:21. > :06:29.numbers have suddenly droppdd and they are dropping at a rate which we
:06:30. > :06:36.find very worrying. We've got to do something about it. Joe knows all
:06:37. > :06:39.about saving Gloucester cattle. He was key in bringing them back from
:06:40. > :06:44.the brink of extinction in the 1970s. So what has gone wrong in the
:06:45. > :06:50.last few years? I think the main reason for the sudden drop hn
:06:51. > :06:56.numbers is bovine TB. Farmers who get bovine TB in their herds are not
:06:57. > :07:01.only losing animals, which have to be killed if they react, but also
:07:02. > :07:05.they cannot sell to other f`rmers. So people who are keeping them and
:07:06. > :07:10.are a bit borderline about keeping them, when they suddenly find they
:07:11. > :07:14.cannot sell them to other pdople, they think, well, why go on keeping
:07:15. > :07:20.them? They drop out and keep sheep instead. There are no fewer than 480
:07:21. > :07:24.breeding females left in thd whole world and if they become extinct,
:07:25. > :07:30.they take with them cost of milk, and that is a key ingredient in
:07:31. > :07:36.single Gloucester cheese. Mhlk from 15 Gloucester 's produces shngle
:07:37. > :07:40.Gloucester cheese here. When they get less rare, people take their
:07:41. > :07:44.foot off the accelerator. They don't bother registering them. Thdy might
:07:45. > :07:48.sell a few that they really shouldn't. The breed goes down in
:07:49. > :07:52.numbers where we are now. Whth interest, it goes back up. H'm
:07:53. > :08:03.trying to break through that ceiling and stop this cycle. My contribution

:08:09. > :08:13.more difficult, it's more ilportant than ever that they earned their
:08:14. > :08:18.keep. Joe thinks a new generation of farmers will work hard to stop them
:08:19. > :08:23.becoming extinct. They are not going to see the breeds die out. Hf you

:08:33. > :08:37.Is the problem that's not as many people care about them becoling
:08:38. > :08:43.extinct as they do pandas? It's an interesting question. Pandas
:08:44. > :08:49.are wild animals and everyone loves them. If they don't, we cannot
:08:50. > :08:53.recreate them. The Gloucestdr is something that farmers have created.
:08:54. > :08:58.In theory, if they did becole extinct, we could try and rdcreate
:08:59. > :09:00.them. That said, the farmers would argue you lose the history `nd
:09:01. > :09:07.genetics that are behind thdse animals.
:09:08. > :09:14.Can you explain what the differences between single and double Gloucester
:09:15. > :09:17.cheese? Farmers used to have two types of
:09:18. > :09:20.cheeses they would make it Gloucestershire, from the mhlk from
:09:21. > :09:26.these animals. They would h`ve the double Gloucester which had a lower
:09:27. > :09:32.fat content. It was drier and easier to transport. It stayed fresh for
:09:33. > :09:36.longer. They could actually sell it. On the farm, they made single
:09:37. > :09:39.Gloucester. It is creamier. A lot of people say it is nicer and that is
:09:40. > :09:44.why the farmers kept it behhnd to eat. This is the thing, thex
:09:45. > :09:52.produced great trees which hs protected. If they do go, it will be
:09:53. > :09:56.the fact we lose the cheese and the cattle themselves. It would be eight
