Speaker 1 (00:08):
Jamie King of Lake Heroko starts us off in the
Sergeant Dan farming round up. Thanks of course the sagean
Dan stock foods here and gore. Good afternoon, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Good mate here a we're going today?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, going pretty well? Thanks? But how's how's everything over
around Lake Heroko way? How have you been over the
past couple of weeks with all this one that's been about?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now we've survived the wind we got off redly scott
free Indie. I think we've got their big buff record
for Ordlands, so I think it's sort of went over
us and around us. No, to be fair, the weak
pride that we got bore damaged from the wind been
so now it's scot free on that one, mate. Yeah,
and we're only a couple of days without pair, so
(00:49):
very very lucky. I have no idea how they got
pair to us, because we're still a long way from
any weird bit now. Can't complain, to be fair.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So do you know of anybody over over your way
with up power? Still?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, not that I'm aware of. Andy. I think most
of western south And is all all back on and
the biggest sprugby of the local to a Tepri there.
It got sort of shut right down out of it
for a couple of days and didn't have no calms
and know nothing. So and that was a bit of
a bit of an interest on a few elderly in that.
But no, I scores out thes weren't too bad.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So you say the wind was worse three weeks ago,
what was it exactly that you had?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I was just northwest as well. We had four five
trees come down, one took a pair out, was yeah,
and then that the gust that ups at the rest
of the south and didn't really do anything. I was
in anticipating a lot more.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You do hear a area is being shouted like you are there.
Obviously you talk about the buffer cord for Orland, but
just the way that it's come in certain places and
just gone whish here another areas. Yeah, more or less
left it alone. Slightly done something wrong?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Oh, absolutely mate. And it was th real actually on
the Thursday when it did blow, I was actually in
the cargo. Wore it and went it blue and we
make you get a bit older and nothing bothers you much.
But I was to be fair skinned. It was. I
didn't want to be in in the cagle. There was
things flying through the air and trees coming down, and
I could have thought of a million other places will
(02:15):
turn to have been and floating around town. So we
sort of packed up and waited it out for a
couple of years and the guffs of the settle, but
it was still blue blue all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Were you talking about sheets of iron flying around? What
was the situation?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yep? Yet No, we were part of one seat lights
and a sheet of wine came tearing around the corner
and walked into side the truck and went under, and
there was branches, and then there was some people that
hopefully going to breed mate outstanding under the trees, taking
obviously videos of what have you. And we're sort of
me and my good lady, we're having a bit of
a wager on it, but we won't talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's all about those lights.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Well apparently start apparently st but leave it with them.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So as far as groundwork and the likes tailing, tailing's
on the red you mirror now, no.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Just sort of getting into it, Andy, I think scoops
and they got one day under their belts, and detaining
Connery is a bit far behind just with the wet
like we've been pretty suddenly weird. I think we tipped
two hundred and eighty five milli out for October, Mate,
and ground where you're just starting to chip away now
it's just coming right, but we're definitely not too soon.
(03:22):
Still pretty gluggy under some places. But here, like last week,
there was just a boomer of a week. You know,
we needed it. I'm not sure what mother nature was
up to. It feels like we sort of had there.
I'm looking across to the other day. Six months of autumn,
two months of winter and now we're into summer. So yeah,
but the grass is grad Eddie, which is really nice.
(03:43):
We're getting bit of heat and I've got happy animals again,
nothing sort of you know. Evening's just laying down and cruising,
so that's easy. So just yeah, just going to the motions, mate.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So you're running fall, Telly's compared to other seasons, where
do you think you're at?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, we've had nearly what are we for? They said,
too wady? This is terrible to a mess on, this
isn't it forgive you? Yeah, we're about about five eighty miler.
I think we head for September. Rocktober mate, but of
course we had nothing over the winter, so I think
we're well, we'll probably wind up on par But it
just doesn't help that it all comes at once ending.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Are you trying to get the velveting and everything else
done at the moment? To talk to Warren Andross the
other day and they seemed to be a bit of
an elephant at the room in the room unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Ah yeah, it's a bit of a tour at the moment. Mate.
Look just you know, tongue in cheeks are just sent
sixteen wet dray heaps the works this morning the old
boy took over. And to be fair, those sixteen heaps
are probably going to be more than what my entire
velvet chick's going to be. Not that I'm gonna in
a big way of the velvet there's only one hundred and
twenty y or so, but ah yeah, it's a real
(04:49):
cheery one and I'm yeah, I'm feeling a bit for
these ves, is it? But it's all out of the control.
There's a bit a few interesting things going on that scene.
But hopefully probably what we've just been through the meet
sek to hopefully it gets a self alleviated one thing
with a deer industry, Andy and the Venice and it
can be arguably vatile, but it just fast as it
goes bad, it seems to come on again. So I'm
(05:11):
just just crossed on that one.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, Venison schedules looking pretty good, contracts and the likes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, mate, and it's nice too. And the contracts are
out for twelve months, me, Andy, so you know you
can budget to that, you know, floating around that late
nine's to teen and the early teen some goes, you know,
for twelve months. You know, it fluctuates a bit within that,
but it's you can budget to that, Andy, And it's
more you know, it's great for twelve months. I eat,
it's really easy numbers.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Imagine being able to do that with your lamb check.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Ah, it'd be too easy, mate, wouldn't it wouldn't that Hey, yeah, it'll.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Be Well, nothing's easy, Jamie, but it might give you
a little bit more certainty as far as the numbers
that are coming in one.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Hundred percent you just measure everything. Ah, it'd be sort
of suppose, but the dairy farming model, wouldn't it, you know,
just month by month ins and outs you forecast and
where you go. Just worry about ground great.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Last time we spoke, and this hasn't been spoken about
for a few weeks, and understandably so. But the Alliance
Group and Dawn Meats, well, the restructure of the Alliance
Group as such, of Dawn Meats buying in is complete.
Now you're a bit cynical of this beforehand, but you've
changed your thinking a little bit now after a conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, mate, So we're sort of lucky enough to meet
the Nile there of the day after and they have
a bit of a catch up and it was quite good.
So I come out of it feeling probably a lot
better than what we had done for six months lean
into it, you know, on the upside, we can sit
here and pointed everything that's wrong with it Andy. And
on that note, you remember they've just tipped two hundred
(06:41):
and seventy million into it, so they want to return
out of their money. Quite a stute businessman, which is
going to be good, pretty a little bit more fat
taking out of the system. So yeah, look the long
and short of Andy turning seventy million dollars worth. They
want animals, they want meat, So I think for definitely
the short term anyway, it'll be really really probably quite
(07:05):
strong for a couple of years anyway. And there's some
many gritty on the ground stuff we spoke about, like
comparison to VIA systems and our systems and what we
do well versus what they're doing well. And some of
it was quite enlighteningmate, through just water usage and processing capability,
and so arguably it's exciting. Yes, it's not the way
(07:25):
we wanted it to go, but I mean, such as life,
I believe in not looking back, mate, so it'll be interesting.
And like I said, and the Alliance door Meat JV.
It's not the elephant in the room anymore because it's
all been put to bed. But well not put to bed,
but just open another door and were you shall wait
and see you going forward.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, arguably, if the Alliance was nothing but a light
blanket in the middle of winter, daw and Meats has
come through the heavy douvey on top of the bed.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Without a doubt, Mate, without a doubt. And you know,
we all know how we got here and this was
probably basically the only option out the way in the
current climate, So I don't you know. But on that note, mate,
we've lost you know, we haven't got a whole leave
solely red meat own cooperative which I don't know, perhaps
(08:12):
might be a good thing any gain forward you know. Sorry,
well have everyone having an opinion, but sometimes too many
opinions aren't aren't on?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You good only Jamie always appreciate your time, Hey spot on,
Thanks for much mate, Jamie King of Lake Roko and
the Sergeant Dan farming round farming round up of course,
