Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the cricket field to the cow shed. It's the
Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on gold.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Sport, joining us out of Farm Advisors and Egg Safe
New Zealand. Jim Finliff, you're a tennis fan, Jim, you'll
be beside yourself with excitement.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Good morning, it's really good morning, Brian. Yes, it's amazing,
isn't it? Yeah? Very exciting?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, absolutely. Alrighty, let's just start with carving, probably starting
on many properties this week. And just a word of
warning about is it Jones disease?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yis It'son's disease. It's a para tuberculosis. It's a wasting disease.
The animals just lose weight and their feces a stinking
sort of green color that shoots about a mile out
behind them if they cough. So it's a very very nasty,
(00:50):
nasty disease. And there's nothing we can do about it
in New Zealand here because any treatments that they have
overseas interfere with our TV testing system, so it's we're
really sort of left high and dry. And what I'm
trying to say to people is there is a lot
of it around and the only way to start to
eradicate it is to ensure that the calves don't get
milk from cows that have got yone's disease at all.
(01:12):
And the simplest way to do that is let them
have their first colostrum and then put them onto a
milk powder replacer, and then later on make sure they're
not grazing out on paddocks where cows or where affluent
has been spread, in particular from the cowstead. It's a
very very nasty disease and is increasing and yeah, its
rates across the country. Actually, Brian, any.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Reason why it's increasing on the increase.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, it's something that they can't control. And if you
can't control this and the other animals are infected, they
infect the next toile of animals down and the next
ones down, and it just keeps increasing. And because it's
a very very nasty disease, and you know, they reckon.
They could be up to sixteen percent of their cows
in the country infected with yonees at the present time
(01:57):
and that's only going to get worse if we don't
something serious about it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Wow, Okay, let's look at the schedules and it wasn't
a great week for dairy, really wasn't at the GDP.
The GDT pell six point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
That's correct, Brian. It was a bit of a worry.
It felt a lot more than what everybody thought of
what we were expecting it to sort of hang around
where it was sort of up that one percent down
to one percent up, but it fell six point nine
percent and was a surprise to many, but to me
when you go back over the index with it, it's
(02:31):
actually round about where it was in January this year.
So all of auctions this year have been sort of
above the January level. So it's not a disaster as such,
but it's a concern. And apparently the Chinese went in
the market very strongly and there was also quite a
large volume of product put up for auction.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
All right, and let's look at the rest of the schedules.
How were how they been looking?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Right, we'll quickly run through them, and there's some upward
movement happening, which is very very nice for all the farmers.
The AD and KG. So why exlam is up in
both the North and South Ireland. The North it's six
dollars forty five the KG in the South Island is
six dollars forty. The twenty one KGMX Mountain is up
to two ninety five in the North and two seventy
five is steady in the south. The P two steer
(03:15):
the two seventy to two ninety five kg steers up
in both islands to six dollars in the North and
five sixty in the south. The boner cow the one
sixty to one ninety five kg bonus up to four
point thirty in the North and four twenty five in
the south. And our bill, our two seventy to two
ninety five kg bull is up to six dollars in
the North and five forty in the South. And now
(03:35):
Venison is steady. The sixty kg stag is steady at
eight sixty five in the North at ege seventy five
in the South. Bryan and your.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Weekly newsletter, you weekly rant this week, Well, it's all
about the world of politics, really, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's been a fascinating week or two. I'm starting off
with Joe Biden and comes to dress the other week.
And one of the things that the Democrats did admit
was that their border control down against the Mexican border
has not been good and there's been too many come in.
Trump's made noises that there could be ten million people
he'd want to send back, which seems a huge amount,
(04:09):
just double the population of New Zealand. So I don't
know where he's going to send them to, Brian, but
they're going to send them somewhere.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And of course the UK with the new Prime minister.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Absolutely and one of the interesting stats that seems to
be coming out of that is that Labour didn't actually
increase its vote very much, but the right wing vote
was split to Nigel Ferras finally got a season. He's
been one who's been dead against immigration, and it's been
the immigrants, the illegal immigrants into the likes of Europe
and the United States, which is really pushing this move
(04:41):
to the right as the people of the politicians here
are saying we don't want them anymore. We will help
you keep them out. And that's really what the whole
thing is about, because it puts a huge amount of
pressure on infrastructure, on health, and on really everything that's
going on in the world, and.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Even closer to home, Australia is in a bit of
a state of two. More real, isn't.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It it certainly is. It's been fueled by a lot
of immigrants, and they've taken quite a few of sort
of political immigrants and people out from over in the
Middle Eastern countries, and of course is an uprising there
of some of the Palestinian supporters and some of the
extremists in the Muslim area, which is of real concern.
(05:21):
And we're really saying to people, you know, if you're
going to come in, you've got to assimilate into the
country and not become part of some little fringe radical
group just because you've now got out of where you were.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I mean, he's weekly ran out of his newsge. I'm
always good to catch up mate, have a great week.
