The Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef and Lamb,
New Zealand Click Beeflambenz dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Joining us from Beef and Land this afternoon is Fione,
Young Fiona, good afternoon.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
How good to have some blue sky around Andy.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
It was great to wake up this morning and they have
blue sky, no rain, no wind, no snow, no sleep,
and so a little bit warmer. That's all I could
say is that this wouldn't mind attempt to be a
little bit up. We just got the woodland grass growth
here the other day and it's it's looking probably lower
than we'd like for this time of year.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Will we frost this morning here in Gore?

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Indeed you've came down here just south of Drummond ODAHOSEI. Yeah,
the ranch here is definitely a little bit colder than
it should be.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Now we're talking Beef and Lamb.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Has been quite a bit going on in that landscape
at the moment, different things which we're not talking about today, obviously,
but we are talking about a GM's yes.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yes, So it's that time of year gain where we
want to we really want to connect with our levy payers,
with our farmers and might be some real professionals the
team to come along to our AGM, which is going
to be held on Tuesday, the fourteenth of October in
beal Kluther at the new building there at Balclusa one
thirty cack Off Andy.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
The new building, not the new pub, but the other one.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Right, that's right, Yes, yes, we may go to the
new pub later, but the meeting will be held at
the Kluper District War Memorial and Community Center.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
So it's been an underreasting twelve months when you look
at it. But from a beef and lamb perspective, I
suppose let's talk about prices, right, just record prices.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Oh absolutely, And actually I'm not sure if people have
seen our recent information that's come out from economic survey
in the commentary by Angie, really recommend that you get
online and have a look at that. Actually, you know,
farmers will benefit from those prices this year, and it's
you know, in all honesty, it's about time that we
see profits going up. I guess the caveat and and

(02:02):
you know people will know this. Wh's remain positive. So
things will look really good, you know, the outlooks is
really good. But there are bills to be paid and
work to be done that perhaps we people put on
hold over the last couple of years, but overall it's
an outstanding sort of outlook for the next year or two.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm going to be interested to see the beef and
lamb outlook normally that normally comes ound around November time
fi OWA giving numbers around the red meat industry as such.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes, absolutely, and look it might be adventures to your
listeners where we have coming to our ag and the
year Jenny McGimpsey will be there, so she'sn't of our
seeking senior economic survey people and she's going to talk
a little bit about some of the information that they've
been pulling together. And it's amazing as I sort of
have been longer in the organization, you know, the work
our economic service doesn't incredibly highly regarded actually across the sector.

(02:53):
But also we're hearing from Kate Acklin. So it's got
Kate Ackland, our chair, coming to the AGM and we'll
be keen to hear from her a little bit about
what she does on the ground as a business person
but in their role is a chair of Beef and ma'am.
You know she's been very engaged internationally looking at what's
happening overseas and looking at what's happening in the sector.
So I think that should be a really interesting presentation.

(03:14):
And then we also have Phil Morrison joining us. So
Phil Morrison quite involved with rural Leaders. He's facilitator with
the Value Chain Innovation Tour and with Colors, So I think,
you know, when we're thinking about leaders of tomorrow for
the sector and how we help grow build those leaders,
I think he'll have some really interesting insights.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Registrations Are they required for the event?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yes, please do so. Registrations are online if you go
to our website and there's an email coming out tomorrow
so that will allow have a registration link in it
as well. So really we really do encourage you to come.
I know, agms, there's an element of that which is around,
you know the business of electing people. But actually we

(03:58):
really want to focus and you know, talking to Matt
McCrae yesterday about this, we really want to focus on
the opportunity to have some good discussions and to hear
from our leavy payers, you know in terms of you know,
where Beef and Them is going and in some of
the direction of our new strategy.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
How's everything looking over at Who's anyway? How's the September
season treated you?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I mean, I think very similar to most people around
the region where you know, we're quite like some warmer weather,
the soil tempts to lift a little bit and you know,
for grass to grow. I think that's and you know,
we've got through, we've got through the spring. But yeah,
definitely in the space where we're wanting the grass to
start growing, thinking thinking like it should we be thinking

(04:40):
about a little bit of mitrogen at this time to
help both things, and that that's sort of on our minds.
But yeah, not not too wet, thank goodness. But I'm
conscious that we've got other areas of southmand that, you know,
they've really got a lot of water on the land,
whether it be snow or rain. So we just want
that to dry out. So we and getting to the

(05:00):
business of throwing our mate and getting it off the
little fun So.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
What time does the AGM kick off?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
A gm IS kicks off at one thirty, so that's Tuesday,
fourteenth of October one thirty over in bell Closer and
we'll finish up with some refreshments at four thirty.

Stuff You Should Know
Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
