00:0050 years since we've been breeding Dorset sheep and yeah, very grateful for a full clearance.

00:07Yeah, total 80 ram clearance, which is really good.

00:11Good to see some faces that have been here nearly for 50 years and also some new clients as well.

00:18So yeah, very happy with the result today.

00:21Structurally sound, easy doing sheep, especially when you take them west of here, they just perform.

00:27These rams are 100% grass-fed all year round.

00:32You know, obviously in times of hard times, you have to give them a little bit of grain.

00:37But yeah, it's sort of something that we pride ourselves on is easy doing sheep.

00:42And I think that's one of the big reasons people come back.

00:45You've always got to be pretty positive.

00:47It would be silly to stand here and say I wasn't positive about the future of the lamb industry.

00:52Probably deciding what we or figuring out what the best article is to breed for.

00:58I think that's something that's not too leggy but it has got plenty of meat on it.

01:05Not necessarily the biggest, tallest standing rams because they can be hard to put weight on.

01:11It's something that's really efficient and it's going to do a job in sort of six to eight weeks for our clients.

01:17Exactly.
