Anna Hill inspects some of the 7,000 livestock entries at this year's Royal Welsh Show

There are 7,000 livestock entries at this year's Royal Welsh Show - from rare breed sheep to huge commercial beef cattle. Anna Hill meets the farmers with a passion for showing their animals including a sister and brother pair who've picked up rosettes for their Welsh Black Cattle.

We also hear from a scientist who grows duckweed on slurry with the aim of producing a new source of protein for animal feed, and quiz Wales' Shadow Rural Affairs Minister over water pollution, bovine TB and funding for farming.

Presented by Anna Hill
Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons and Beatrice Fenton

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
