Will Grayling at the 2011 Young Farmer of the Year competition, in happier times before Jamie Mackay started grilling him relentlessly about missing cows.

How do you lose 500 cows?

Jamie Mackay wants answers and he has gone to Will Grayling for some insight. Will was the 2011 Young Farmer of the Year so he knows a bit about life on farm.

He doesn't like to speculate or jump to conclusions but Mackay is like a dog with a bone about this topic and presses Grayling into commenting on what he thinks may have happened.

Finally Jamie lets him off the hook and the poor man gets to talk about dairy in general.
