How long does it take, ah, 62 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: what would be probably an hour to clip the cow 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: and then probably another fifteen minutes on actual showday to 64 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: get her up to scratch. 65 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: Oh that's not too bad, you're right. 66 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 67 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: It's a bit like when you want to just give 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: you car a quick once over, do you whip out 69 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: the water blaster spray down? 70 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah?
