One week to go, Yeah, one week to go Andy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's come around past now, isn't it. And no doubt
it'll speed up over the next few days. But a
great time a year. We're really busy and it's nice
to be looking to finish the year off strong. It's
it's been a great year for us. So at the moment,
we've got a lot of new vehicles going out and
we're doing a huge amount of used vehicles at the moment,
(00:28):
so that's great. We've got plenty of new stuff coming
in new vehicles, but also plenty of new stock in
the used vehicle department as well. So a lot of
it is in the preparation stages and grooming so and
a lot of it is still at the paint chops.
So we're trying to get those sort of things done
before yeah, before we all shut down pretty much. So Yeah,
(00:50):
if you're thinking about doing something, pick up the phone
and give us a call. I come in and see us.
We do have some great deals on the new vehicles
through to the end of December. Sometimes, you know, December
is you know, sometimes a cheaper time and a lot
of ways to buy a new vehicle because sometimes there
are some good deals on. So this December is no exception.
(01:10):
There's always good deals on. So look, if you're around,
certainly come in and see us and we'll show you
how easy we can skip you out of the old
into the new. We've got Cody in the in the
finance department and he can make things very very easy
for you. Otherwise, Andy, just a reminder with boat trailers
and caravans and cars and such like, get in early
because the mad rush is definitely on. Otherwise, looking forward
(01:34):
to a final round up Andy.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Good on you, eh chat then chat, then good afternoon,

winter tomorrow, so Vet South subby to look forward to

(03:54):
the gift of health for your animals. Starting the yell
with Bruce Seed and Damn farming around up, followed up
by Penny Simmons in Peter and for Cargole Georget Welder
out of its South. We have a yarn about how
things have been with those guys, like we say, get
those texts rolling into five double oh nine. Then Jacob Duffy,
(04:15):
black CAP's bowler. I think it's fair to say he's
one of the full cricketers in the world. At the
moment we catch up with Jacob, he managed to get
a couple of days off as they managed to clean
up the Wendy's earlier than expect them. Just ask them
how things are going. From this point of view, everything's
pretty well wormed at the moment, but in a good way.
And we wrap out the owl of Ben Dooley Sheep
Beef and YouTube farmer out of Windom, So without further ado,
(04:38):
we'll start THEYWL with bruceied. This is the Musters. We'll
talk quick. Thanks to Peterson Nix remembering text V South
was your details to five double oh nine. Bruce Seed
(05:05):
Farms at Kelso and joins us this afternoon and sagean
Dan farming round up. Thanks for Sergeant Dan Stock. Food's
based here in good Bruce. How's everything in Kelso this afternoon?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Good afternoon, another breezy day in Paradise, Andy. You think
there wouldn't be much win left in the sky that's
been blowing the last two and a half months, but
it appears that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You'll be growing good levels of grass.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, no, it's not too bad. We've actually made the
decision we're going to top some of our second round
again because the first lot of the part of the
first the first part of the first round we topped,
has sort of gone to seed again, so we're nipping
that off as we go, which we'll get far down
in a couple of weeks where that was the right decision.
(05:50):
But there is a few week days in the forecast
and the immediate future, so hopefully we've made the right call.
But yeah, it's still growing. The summer or the winter
crops are poked out of the ground and that now
and the maze is bolting ahead in this hot pine weather.
So yeah, things are definitely grown.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So how would you put the situation feed wise compared
to say, twelve months ago.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Oh, I'd think we're in a bitter spot where we've
made well, made the first round of silage in that
and funnily enough, I thought we were a bit earlier
this year, but the day after we've done it, it
came up on memories to say that we've made silage
the following day the previous year. So we're on about par.
But it's definitely still growing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Now. You're maze as well. Is interesting because you're one
of the first people around the area to try it,
truth to be known, and you're doing it each cheer.
You think it's got a place.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't has one of the first, but
we've got on the bandwagon, so this will be year three.
So yeah, no, we've decided it's a regular part of
air farming operation in rotation now so it was in
it was on four days later this year than last year.
But soil conditions and weather conditions since they've been ten
(07:10):
times better. So we've had an amazing strike and you know,
it's it's looking great, so who knows that can change,
but it doesn't mind if it's it's dry and hot,
so either way we'll be a winner.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's interesting though, because we've always got told South and
wasn't the right climate for Maze. You almost needed like
a lean land Ninia weather ped and coming through every
year being hot and windy. But I think last season
told us anything.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But yeah, well it's the hybrid, the hybrid Maze Now
we're obviously the technology and the breeding of the plants
that they can. They've managed to come up with a
couple of varieties that thrive in the south here and
their difficult conditions. But yeah, like I said, we're third
year into it. I think there's another go out here's
(07:57):
about five years into it, so yeah, it's probably here
to stay, or say for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now you're robustic milking set up, you've got there, it's
just ticked over two years.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yes, yep. First milkmen away on the third eighth of
December twenty twenty three. So time flies. So yeah, I know,
we're we're very happy with the decision to go down
that route. So KOs in the air really kicking goal.
They had to look up yesterday. The top k was
actually yesterday down sixty seven liters, would you believe it?
(08:31):
So that is she's fear trucking and so she'll be
on for a good record on that. So the good
thing is we can hold the we can hold the
production and flatten the milk curve. I suppose you could
say in the regard of they're not at the mercy
of the dry whether outside the lack of feed, the
(08:51):
stage of the grass or the lack of So yeah,
it's it's very good for consistent milk flow. So yeah,
I know we're very happy with the decision.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So how would you rate the farming year from your
leans Bruce.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Out of ten overall, when you take into account the
milk price and the weather and all the other outside noise,
I'd probably give it an eight here on farm. You know,
we've had a few struggles through the spring, like most
and that, but obviously the power shortage there for a
(09:30):
while and the damage from the wind we weren't too bad.
But obviously a lot of people got scheduled, So I'd
give it a solid seven point seven five, let's say,
all up. But no, there's not too much to complain about.
And at the end of the day, who listens if
you complain.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Anyway, that's pretty much about it. So as far as
the GDTs, there's another one do before Christmas. You're pretty
relaxed about the situation as such. I wouldn't say relaxed,
but you're pretty As a matter of effect, it is
what it does.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, you know how I roll. My job is to
get the milky out of the cares. It's frontier and
everybody else's job to get the most money they can
for it. So odds on it could drop the way
it's looking, but you know, it is what it is.
I suppose that's pretty much Bruce is saying, isn't it
When it comes to GDT Five years ago nobody knew
(10:23):
what it was, and now every tirement it's on it's
on the national news, so it's obviously a big part
of the New Zealand economy and New Zealand psyche at
the moment. But like I've always said, we control what
weekend and the outside forces and markets in the world.
They have the biggest bearing on everything. So it sounds
(10:45):
like we're going to take a drop. Obviously not as
bad as friends in the UK I spoke to last week.
They just lost another eight cents off their milk price.
They obviously paralet, but you know that's I think my
friend said they were down eleven cents or something in
the last month and a half, so that's quite a
big hit to take. So at least we've got a
(11:05):
bit of forecast and they can give us a bit
more of a heads up at what's coming. But I'm
still reasonably positive that we're gonna be another good payout.
I mean, need a thing with a niner is good.
It wasn't that many years ago. It was a seven
and we thought that was good. So we've probably just
got bigger expectations nowadays that we hit that magic team.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Bruce Seed of kelso you tiny, You're and the kids
have a good festive season, always appreciated your time on
the muster and we'll talk again next year.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, thanks Andy for having us on. I hope we
haven't boored the listeners too much with my ramblings and that,
but it's been good to chew the fat. And I
hope everybody has a safe and merry Christmas and New Year,
and we get some rain when we need rain. The
sun shines and as we're gonna have a barbecue and
go for a swim and we'll catch us all again
next year.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Bruceeed of Kelso and Satins Dan Farming roundup, remembering text
itself to five double O nine to keep yourself in
the drawer for the Master Christmas giveaway, a salute to
the farmers. That's of course, thanks to vetself for the
day's price and the Cargo MP a Manster for the Environment.
Penny Simmons is next long after of living. Oh yeah,
(12:28):
welcome back to say is the Master. Penny Simmons is
MP from the Cargo. She is a Minister for the
Environment as well. Penny.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Good afternoon, Yes, good afternoon, Andy, and what a stunning
weekend it's been. And I arrived back from Wellington on
Saturday afternoon and it's been a beautiful Saturday Sunday. And
the reason I arrived back on Saturday afternoon was we
were sitting under urgency or last week, trying to get
(12:56):
through some important legislation, and people, I wonder you know
why we sit under urgency and why there are certain
things we want to get through, and what the rules
are around it, because on the Thursday nights Friday morning,
we were sitting till twenty to two in the morning,
and that was around the Electoral Amendment Bell. So we
(13:18):
started voting on it at eleven thirty. And once you
start voting on something, you can't stop until the voting's concluded.
And the opposition had put up two hundred amendments to
the BELL. And look, it's a pretty straightforward, sensible bill.
It's setting the enrollment deadline of thirteen days before an election.
(13:41):
You might recall a previous labor government allowed enrolling right
up to including election day, which caused all sorts of havoc.
It also disqualifies all sentenced prisoners that are detained in
prison from enrolling and voting. Gain something pretty sensible. If
(14:01):
you've lost your freedom, it makes sense that you shouldn't
actually be able to vote and that had been changed
by the previous government, and we've set an advanced voting
period of twelve days before the election. It was three
weeks which was just too long, prohibiting provision of free food,
drink and entertainment within one hundred meters of the voting
(14:24):
place entrance. You might recall the manor Era Marii, the
hangy and barbecues and entertainment that was going on with
voting right there, and also expanding offenses of bribery and
treating and undue influence again coming from that situation on
(14:45):
the Marai. So sensible things that we were changing, but
the opposition needed to put up two hundred amendments to
change it. So we went through till twenty to two
in the morning on that but that's just of what
happens when you're under urgency. And we finished twenty to
twelve on Friday night, so we're able to get home
(15:07):
on Saturday, which was good. Andy just acknowledging if people
have got friends and family over in Sydney. The terrible
terrorist event it has been designated by the government by
the Australian government as a terrorist attack on the Jewish
(15:27):
community at Bondai Beach and just an awful, awful thing
to be happening. People trying to celebrate a peaceful event
in the religious calendar. So just thinking of anyone if
they've got friends and family over there, and of course
the sixteen people who are deceased from that, and I
(15:51):
know it's going to be a tough time for many
over there over the Christmas coming Christmas break, Andy, I
was very pleased managed to sneak away on leave on Friday.
They allowed me to come back to them for cargo
and then shoot back to Wellington. They allowed me to
come on leave to see the st graduation, which was
(16:14):
just fabulous. It was a real celebration by the community
of SIT being back in community hands and it was
great to be there for that first graduation under now
community ownership again. So that was a great way to
finish the year for SIT and Andy. I just want
(16:35):
to thank you for all the chats we've had throughout
the year and wish you and your family a very
merry Christmas. And to all your listeners, I hope that
they have a safe and enjoyable Christmas. Enjoy a bit
of Christmas lamb and a Christmas ham and spend some
time with friends and family, which is one of the
(16:58):
most important parts of it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I agree with everything you've said their penny, but I
do have one question regarding the one hundred meters of
a food and entertainment precinct from a polling booth. On
Australia they encourage having a sausage outside of polling booth.
Is that something we need to embrace perhaps, Look, it.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Went too far around that Manuera Maria situation. One hundred
meters isn't that far. It's you could still have a
sausage sizzle, and I suspect they still are having. The
Australian ones are but one hundred meters. You know, you
could have that out in the car park and still
(17:39):
not be within one hundred meters of the voating place.
So I don't think it's overly harsh, and it has
been abused in the past, and so we need to
clamp down on what was happening there.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Tell you what, when you're sitting till two o'clock in
the morning under urgency some pizza shop, the owners must
rub their hands of glee when they hear about what's
going on in Parliament, right, yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
There might have been a bit of KFC around the
place and a pizza or two. So yep, that's what happens.
Unfortunately not particularly healthy.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh no, it's just a matter of doing what you've
got to do. Penny, Hey, we'll let you carry on.
Thanks very much for your contributions. Like you said before,
I hope you and the family have a great break
and we'll do it all again next year. Always appreciated
our chats.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Looking forward to it. Thanks Andy Bye.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Penny Simmons MP from the Cargo. This is the Muster
on hockin Nui. Remembering text Vitz South to five double
O nine with your details to be in the draw.
To one are two hundred dollars VT South voucher and
merch prize pack. Of course, this is the Muster Christmas Giveaway.
A salute to the farmers. Up next the music stop
and I'll keep talking anyway. Georgiett Welder from Vitz South.
(18:55):
Of course, Vitz South with the prizes. Today you're listening
to the Muster. It is the week of the Muster
Christmas Giveaway. Each day this week we're talking to a
different business who have fantastic prizes up for offer. This afternoon,
(19:15):
we're catching up with Georgette Welder of itself. Georgette, Welcome
to the Muster.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Thanks Andy, Hey.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Great to catch up. Firstly, being ale, be honest, there's
not a nine to five job. There's a hell of
a lot that goes on, especially at this time of year, right.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yes, correct, Well, to be fair, that's at any time
of the year. To be fair, we have our pitch
and thrust dependent on the different types of animals we're
working with, so at the moment from our large animal
point of view, we're just slightly a little bit more
on the downsid a bit more cruisy. Not for the
farmers though, they are actually very busy always in the
lead up to Christmas. But yes, things that they bring
(19:55):
off and then they'll be ramping up again in the
new year. It's skinning starting and then later on our
RM checks et cetera. But our small animal team is
quite busy always leading up to Christmas, getting all the
animals vaccinated and sorted out before Christmas. So yes, there
is always stuff on the goal. In general, we're always available,
I guess twenty four hours. People can contact us if
(20:17):
they are a neat so we have to we have
to always be ready, just for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It is a lead up to Christmas. It's all about
being stress free enjoyable as well. We talk about animal
husbandry and just I don't know, trying to get the
best production out of your animals, make them comfortable through
the summer months.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Correct, Yes, I guess that is always a thing in
the end of the data. It's just about you at
a feed that is around. At the moment, people are
pretty good, but it can obviously change sometimes. It can
be tricky in the summer if we get a spell
of drier weather and yeah, if things are looking a
bit more tricky than the people. We are here to
(20:58):
assist in that as well and advice farmers to see
how how they can alter things slightly or change things
slightly within their diets or what they can feed. So
there is yeah, we can be there.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
To assist and bits are on call as well for
emergency situations twenty four seven.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Right, Yeah, including of Christmas and the year. There is
always somebody on call for all our different species. So yeah,
we've got our range of vets that will be available
on call and in between Christmas in a year, our
clinics are open as well, so people can get there,
but if they do need something in between, then they
can still sing out and they can get that organized
(21:37):
even their last minute emergency and drugs if they needed
it for the animal animal health needs. So yeah, we
are in the end of the day available now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Of course, the rural community is a big part of itself.
Tell us what you're planning for them over the next
month or so.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yes, a very important part of as we we service
our rural community obviously league for our large animal side
of things, but also supporting them with their small animal requirements.
And so in the end of the day, it is
supporting our farmers whereas needles really if they at the
(22:16):
moment we're booking a lot of farmers in for their
their hert scans that will start or they've actually sort
of started now right through into the new year. And yeah,
otherwise whatever their drench plant if that's what they require,
because a lot of people are having their young stock
(22:38):
around and their their sheep farmers require still there their
animal new health needs as well, So whatever plans we
need to put in place, we can sort that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And it's a fantastic prize as well. The v South
is offering on the Master to day, Georgette, Now we're
talking a two hundred dollars v South voucher as well
a bit of a goodie bags tell us about it.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Yep, that's correct, So we have a bit of a
goodie back. It's probably slightly more small animal focus, but
a lot of people have got still their pets as
well our farmers. So whoever is keen and just get
into the draw and then have a two hundred dollars
about you for any services that they might require, so
(23:23):
that can be used in any bit South clinic around
in South and and attack on.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
So text VET South to five double oh nine with
your details, make sure you put your name and everything
on there and we're going to announce this one died tomorrow.
Hey George, thank you very much for your time on
the muster of this afternoon, and you have a good Christmas.
Always good to catch up with the team from VETTS South.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for your time, Andy and you have
a fantastic Christmas a new year as well.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
And just a reminder as well, VET South are here
for animal health emergencies over the Christmas period, small than large.
Eight hundred vits South is the number what to get
a hold of them if you're after advice around the
Christmas Seas and get in touch to'll be able to
help you as well their website Vitsouth dot co dot
m Z to advise you regarding animal health needs. George
(24:13):
at Welder of v South, so like Georgette said, to
get him the prize for a two hundred dollars vit
South voucher and a merch prize pack. Text v South
to five double A nine with your details as well
and we'll draw a winner tomorrow. You're listening to the
muster before the end of the year of Ben Dooley.
Up next though black Cat's fast bowler, Jacob Duffy. That's
(24:40):
where I sport. Welcome back. This is the Muster on
Hakanui our next guest. We spoke to him a week
while ago and it's fair to say that things have
gone pretty damn well for him since his name is
Jacob duf Fee at the moment leading the bowling attack
(25:03):
for the black Caps and doing a pretty darn good
job of it as well. Jacob, welcome once.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Again, Thanks any thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You're always good to catch up mate. Look, firstly, these
stats for twenty and twenty five. You've probably heard them,
but they're pretty impressive. Reading thirty five matches, seventy two
wickets seventeen point four to seven average a twenty two
point twenty nine strike for eight five for thirty four
is your best figures. This is for the year twenty
twenty five and the leading wicket taker an international cricket
(25:32):
for to twenty twenty five seventy two wickets. Not as well.
We'll throw in those two five wicket bags against the
Windy's recently. That's pretty good going.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
That's crazy, isn't it when you're sat like that? Yeah,
I so it is a dream just to play one
game for your country and then you get on away
roll picked and stuff and any sort of expirations change
a little bit. So it's just an awesome man. Just
to be sort of a regular member of the team.
I think I've only the home summer especially, I've only
missed one game due to rest. To be had to
play every game has been awesome. And just to get
(26:03):
comfortable at international levels that's such a cool fairling man.
And just to be you know, part of sort of
a winning team, a team that's doing well and playing
winning contributions as good fun.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Considering you've stuck at the domestic game for so long
since twenty twelve, giving your opportunity of making it work
too still must be a real pinch me moment, it is.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Mate, Yeah, for sure, I always say it like those
here's in my life. I guess that's helped me so
much and sort of easy as now you know, all
that experience built up, although it to the different level,
it's still cricket the end of the day. And now
I've played a lot of cricket, albeit at the domestic level,
I feel there's not many sort of scenarios of situations
or conditions that I haven't experienced before, and now I'm
(26:45):
sort of I'm getting them. At the international level. I
feel comfortable and know what to do and how to
sort of respond to those situations, which is this huge
and you think it more and more like in the
domestic scene these days. You see like Michael Ray the
other day debuted and he come in and did really well.
And obviously when Darryl for It started, he had a
massive sort of domestic experience mind has about to and
(27:07):
now he's pressure internationally, so that's good, you know. Signed
for our system and domestic cricket and shows you how
strong it is.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well if you compare it to Australia and David Hussies
and Michael Hussey. Sorry' is the one Betsman that comes
to mind almost ten thousand runs domestically before he got
a looking into the Australian team. But to see that
New Zealand's getting debts and I suppose we can talk
about those injuries as well. Certainly been a lot going on,
but it just shows like you say that we're building
bowling debts, it isn't it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
And there's not many dudes has come to play for
New Zealand in recent years and just hasn't sort of
now on a huge straight away again, like I say,
it's huge, it's huge respect to sort of domestic game.
But yeah, like you know, there's a time there where
there's obviously Salvi was a big one. Keep him out
of the scene, but he had fault and Waggoner Matt Henry.
Obviously these are a great sort of game that sort
(27:57):
of just how that spot for a sort of a
decade plus and you know it had to end one
day and I kind of has now so stime for
the next generation to step up, which you know, I
think we're doing all right.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, of course Michael Ray doing his thing the other
day as well, Zach Folks on the scene player taking
a unfortunately with that injury. But that's a staggering thing
about this when the other day you did it A
player down.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Yeah, it's been a bit too much of that lately.
Only only one playdowns and two bad mates. So better
than Aaronly heaving two. Seems like we didn't Hagley, which
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
That sucks. That was too much.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
That was a lot of bowling. And to get to the
end of that Hegley game and only come out with
a drawer was pretty disheartening. So you get across the
line this time. I know when texts went down, obviously
we felt then, but we're also thinking, oh god, here
we go again. So he really turned the game, and
that first innings with his spell, he was bought the
energy and got them jumping around and his forkits were
(28:51):
huge there, so that can't be understated. But then I
guess to go out and that you know that that
third innings and do what we did and get it
done and reasonably quickly. Too. Was was seriously satisfying and
and good for the body to get a future days
off too.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's a big thing of being a frontline bowler and
bringing the energy as they call it, to the field.
And it must be a big It must be really
messive for you guys. Somebody like Michael Ray seems a
larger life personality, comes across really well and just brings
a little bit of X factor. It must be pretty
cool on the field.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
That isnt He's a good friend of mine. I's actually
a gringement at his wedding. He's He's obviously played a
lot of cricket for Tago, so we've gone really well.
But here's here's a character. And that's specially anytime you
get the Solvely Mitch a David as well, and it
is pretty special. We're gettingto dep tants coming for the
captain ceremonies and stuff. It's this sort of first time
going through all that and you know, you sort of
(29:43):
make a big deal of it and they get their
hat and it's very special. And then yeah, even during
the game, you're just you're feeding off your energy. And
I'll be honest, mate, it's easier I guess it must be.
I know whether it's adrenaline or whatever it is, but
it's easy to get up to test cricket. Then the
domestic four y sets for sure, So your body could
be hurting a little bit more, but I guess you
(30:03):
just don't quite notice it because I guess there's a
little bit more on the line, and you know, there's
a bit of buzz in the crowd, and you get
a bit of fizz and energy off that too. So
that's good fun and I'm really really enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
So in your bowl, ninety two overs over two test smetches,
So you can't tell me it doesn't take a toll
on the body.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Oh, des Yeah, that first after that first game, I'm
gonna I got up Like every spell I got up for.
It wasn't too bad. I knew it had a job
to do and a big part of that was bringing
like good energy and I was buying a lot of
bounces on that sort of docile wicket, so I knew
I just had to bring good energy. But then those
two days after I felt like a heavy track. It
(30:41):
was my knees were a bit sore and hobbed them
out of bed in the morning I got tended off
there my knees, so I'm just dealing with that constantly.
So that played up. But then I guess there was
the day before it was finally the day I felt okay,
And then yeah, it probably showed that day one of
that last years that zachy as well. We're it's a
little bit flat that first fell, but sort of once
(31:03):
we got into the rhythm of the game and stuff
and bought a bit of more energy, we're sort of
underway again. I thought we did that.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Have you had to reassess your goals based on the
way that things have gone this season?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
No, not really. I'm not a big goal setter in
that regard. I'm just sort of, you know, I'm joining
the ride. I'm trying to just keep improving sort of
every day, and that's the main thing I've I've got
a few different work on in terms of sort of
my whitebole game, whether it be Slavs or death execution,
all that kind of stuff, and then a little few
work on the repul. I guess that's sort of the
(31:37):
goals I have in my mind. I don't really have
sort of you know, games played or the selections all
that kind of stuff. I sort of just sticked to
the stick to my own stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Your name's being mentioning quite a bit regarding the ip
O loction coming up this week, Jacob, would you be
keen to be involved?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Uh, yeah, it's a funny one. We because we obviously
we've got it India for for just for the World Cup,
so and then the World Cup goes for over a month,
so it's already two months in India straight, and then
I guess if you made the IPR you'd go for
another two and a half months straight after that, So
you've got four and a half months in India straight,
which is a long time away from home. So yeah,
(32:18):
it'll be very cool and it'll be an amazing experience,
and obviously you know there's the money and stuff to
be pretty tall. But on the other hand, if I
didn't go, but a time at home wouldn't be the
worst thing in the world either. Two were obviously what's
coming up big tests and stuff next year, So I'm
doing it as the one each way. If if I do,
I do it, then if I don't, I don't, happy
days and we can do other stuff. So yeah, that
(32:39):
is a bit of a funny one to us Jacob.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
From a player's perspective, there's no more red Bull cricket
after the Third Test against the Windys this week. Is
it a bit of a letdown after what we've had
over the last couple of weeks? And what is it?
No red Bull cricket again until against England? Is that right?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (32:54):
England and Ireland first and then Englandland May June. Yeah,
I don't know, I guess yeah. Some people absolutely love
the red Bull. I sort of like, I kind of
love it all, so I really enjoy the twenty twenty stuff.
Touring India is pretty special place to go, so I've
hardly said it's a letdown. And obviously with an ICC
event a World Cup on the horizon too, that's something.
(33:17):
I've never been to a World Cup before, So I've
done the Champions TROPHI you last year, but I've never
done the World Cup. So World Cup in India is
pretty special. So I can't say that's a lot down there.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I dare say, you're just so like you say, you're
just soaking everything in and so happening at once and
just living for the moment, right, Yeah?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Pretty much?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Man?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Yeah, all these new experiences and yeah, it's awesome. It's
a lot of time away from home, which that's probably
the one part that people don't sort of see and understand,
which it wasn't always the easiest, but no, the cricket
was such good fun. I'm really enjoying it. Like I said,
just being able to contribute to a black Cats team,
(33:55):
that's that's bloody satisfying. So that's what dreams are made off.
So just yeah, taking as a u.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, and we're all along for the ride as well.
Jacob Duffy, black CAP's extraordinary at the moment. Thanks very
much for your time on the Muster. Keep up the
great work and make sure you get a bit of
a break over the festive season. And we're really enjoying
your work down here in the Deep South.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
No love it, mate, Thanks Monts appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Jacob Duffy doing great things with the black Caps at
the moment. You're listening to the Muster, remember text that
South to five double A nine to go And for
today's prize for the Muster Christmas give away. Ben Dooley's
up next before we wrap up Summer Sea. Welcome back
(34:44):
to the Muster. John Mellencamp is the music. He's had
a lot of changes to his name over the years,
John Cougar, John Mellencamp, John Cougar Mellencamp, but regardless, a
lot of timeless tunes. As we catch up with Ben
Dooley farming down at Wyndham, Sheep Beef and YouTube farmer,
get a dolls Andy, how's it going? The countdown to
Christmas is on? How's it going on? Your place?
Speaker 8 (35:05):
It is on where we're going pretty well at the moment. Actually,
we win the maternals last week, got them more drinks
and headis didn't have a draft out of the end.
I got the terminals in on Crocky. What day was it,
I can't even remember now Friday, I think we've got them,
got the usual crutched up, so had to draft the
lambs off. It was a challenge. We've got them crutched
up and then they've got sean use today and modern
(35:27):
Saturday they got crushed actually, and ye there is the
us being sewn today and drinks. All the terminal lambs
on mum belly drafted off and yeah, we're we're actually
sitting pretty up to date, about seven days earlier than
would normally be. So, yeah, bring on some good weather
in the next seven days so I can drag a
bit bloody boat out of the shed.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I've seen the social social channels around croutching the US.
It's a hell of a setup. Hell, what numbers are
we talking to get stuff done?
Speaker 8 (35:53):
Oh? That was phenomenal. Normally it would take me three
to four days, bearing in mind that obviously there's other
stuff on farm that has to be done, not doing
full days. They started at ten to seven, they stopped
for smokeout at nine. We started up again about nine
thirty five, and they finished at ten twenty five. So
(36:14):
I made that bang on three hours and they did
seventeen hundred and ninety one.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah, you're kidding me.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah, the boss man had said either I'll be done
by afternoon smoker or should have teached them and said, man,
you guys are lazier having afternoon smoke out at ten thirty.
But no, that was a bit of an eye at that.
I expected it to be a full day, not three hours.
So yeah, we got most of a productive day after
that too. It was quite good.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
So does this change your thinking towards hand piecework?
Speaker 8 (36:43):
No, Look, my thinking has always been that when we
can comfortably afford to get the crutches in, we'll get
the crutches in. And it just so happens that this year,
you know, things are looking pretty reasonable, We've already had
a reasonable track of money come in, we were comfortable
enough to do it, so we thought, no, I just
I don't want to be absolutely wrecked on Christmas Day again.
Normally we finished yearing on the twenty third and twenty
(37:04):
four sort of a catch up day. I've never had
any time to go and do any Christmas shoping or
anything like that. Not that I want to do that,
but you know, there comes with time when you have to.
And yeah, it's always been an issue around managing to
afford it. And of course this is only a fifty
of farming on our own, so yeah, the previous four
years haven't been that conducive to adding extra cost on
the system. But all in all, as much as it
(37:26):
adds extra cost, I would say it also adds extra
profit because a few are the things that it's allowing
us to do, get a bit more work done elsewhere.
And also we're moving the terminal winning to the fourth
of January. Everything's just fitted in real nice. So as
long as those lambs keep growing on mum and too
many haven't been weaned by being drafted off ten knights
in a row, yeah, that should be quite a profitable
(37:47):
venture actually, so no, always the way we've wanted to
do it, just haven't had the ability to.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
So the lambs looking clean.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Yeah, lambs has stayed pretty clean. Oh the earlies that
we waned and was, but they're not. But that's because
they got weaned. They had a couple of days and
then they got fign on the first grazing young grass,
so you can imagine what they're standing to the baking
of them. But they look to be doing well. But
now most of the lambs, the rons in the in
the main line terminals are all they're staying reasonably clean.
But the crutches will come, and I think we're booking
(38:17):
into the sixth of January and give them all a
good tide out to a full crutch on them once again,
probably less than a full day to do three thousand
and yeah, pay the bill and be done with it,
and then we're looking to go on holiday not long
after that. Fifteen days, so yeah, good to get her
all done.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
You're sounding lot, you're pretty much out with the play.
Is there ever such a thing for a farmer.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
Though, Well, there's always more to do. There's always gorse
to spray, there's always fences to fix, there's always that stuff.
But sometimes the boat takes priority there too, so we'll
see how it goes. But now on the main jobs,
we're certainly pre on top of things at the moment.
It's been a bit of a bit of a marathon
since start in November, but it's just that way every year.
It's yeah, we're working on trying to make it a
(38:59):
little bit better, but more user friendly, you should say,
But ultimately that work has to happen, doesn't it. So
you just got to get it done and then you
can focus on whatever else you want to do once
all that work is that time critical stuff is done
and out of the way.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
We looked back at the twelve months in Neglar culture,
especially in the sheep and beef sector. Does you'll be
pretty positive if you gave it a mark out of ten.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Yeah, I can't give it a teen. I can probably
give it a seven seven and a half purely because
of September and October. At all in all, we had
good recovering prices last year. If we looked from Christmas
to Christmas, you know, at September last year, we were
dreading what the lamb price was going to be, and
it actually held up pretty well. And by the end
of the season it had come through pretty good. We
(39:44):
grew grass all summer, which was nice. Stock were pretty healthy,
crops did well. We got through winter reasonably happily. Yeah,
like I say, September October weren't that nice. But then
what a comeback November made, so we might even be
able to scratch and eight there team, I think for
the season that's been Yeah, the challenges, but when you
(40:04):
look at it from the season beforehand, we yeah, we're
just very thankful it was what it was.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
So you're doing anything over your YouTube channel Sheep Deep
South Sheaven Beef over the summer holidays.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Yeah, No, there's been quite a few videos go out
there recently. What we heard sharing topping, crops going in
play owing, trying to think what else I'll put up.
There will be a sharing one go up soon. No,
there's heats stuff going out there. All of a sudden.
We've got heaps of stuff that we're doing in time
to film. So yeah, it's about this time of year
(40:36):
it starts getting really amped up, and then it'll do
that through it all about May, and then I've got
to come up with a planful winter to try and
keep getting content. But we'll see how we go. There
no no plean to going out there. So if you're
curious to go along and have a lock.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
You are what we call the farming influencer, aren't you.
Speaker 8 (40:50):
I don't use that influenced by things I do, you
probably need to take it pretty serious. Look in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Hey, good on your girls. Will you carry on? You
Sarah and the family, have a great break and we'll
do it all again next year. I've really appreciated your
time here on the Muster in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 8 (41:09):
No, thanks very much, Andy, I appreciate the opening you've
given me here and yet mirror Christmas to you and everyone,
happing New Years to all the listeners as well. And
here let's see, let's see the next one be a
good one.
Speaker 9 (41:20):
Oh laugh out loud with ag proud, because life on
the land can be a laughing matter. Brought to us
by sheer Well Data working to help the livestock farmer.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
I used to be in a band called the Radiators,
but we were just a warm up act. Remembering text
bit South to five double A nine with your details
to be in the price to win the two hundred
dollars Bit South boucher along with a little goodie bag
a salute to the farmers the Muster Christmas Giveaway. My
(41:55):
name's Andy Muller. You've been listening to the Muster on
hock and now he thanks to Peter's to Nerdex pocket,
I was going up shortly, get those ticks and talk tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Mm hmm
We missed them on Friday, so we catch up with
Nathan ABERNETHI at a regional forward once again, get a Nath.
One week to go, Yeah, one week to go Andy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's come around past now, isn't it. And no doubt
it'll speed up over the next few days. But a
great time a year. We're really busy and it's nice
to be looking to finish the year off strong. It's
it's been a great year for us. So at the moment,
we've got a lot of new vehicles going out and
we're doing a huge amount of used vehicles at the moment,
(00:28):
so that's great. We've got plenty of new stuff coming
in new vehicles, but also plenty of new stock in
the used vehicle department as well. So a lot of
it is in the preparation stages and grooming so and
a lot of it is still at the paint chops.
So we're trying to get those sort of things done
before yeah, before we all shut down pretty much. So Yeah,
(00:50):
if you're thinking about doing something, pick up the phone
and give us a call. I come in and see us.
We do have some great deals on the new vehicles
through to the end of December. Sometimes, you know, December
is you know, sometimes a cheaper time and a lot
of ways to buy a new vehicle because sometimes there
are some good deals on. So this December is no exception.
(01:10):
There's always good deals on. So look, if you're around,
certainly come in and see us and we'll show you
how easy we can skip you out of the old
into the new. We've got Cody in the in the
finance department and he can make things very very easy
for you. Otherwise, Andy, just a reminder with boat trailers
and caravans and cars and such like, get in early
because the mad rush is definitely on. Otherwise, looking forward
(01:34):
to a final round up Andy.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
At the end of the week.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Good on you, eh chat then chat, then good afternoon,

(03:54):
the gift of health for your animals. Starting the yell
with Bruce Seed and Damn farming around up, followed up
by Penny Simmons in Peter and for Cargole Georget Welder
out of its South. We have a yarn about how
things have been with those guys, like we say, get
those texts rolling into five double oh nine. Then Jacob Duffy,
(04:15):
black CAP's bowler. I think it's fair to say he's
one of the full cricketers in the world. At the
moment we catch up with Jacob, he managed to get
a couple of days off as they managed to clean
up the Wendy's earlier than expect them. Just ask them
how things are going. From this point of view, everything's
pretty well wormed at the moment, but in a good way.
And we wrap out the owl of Ben Dooley Sheep
Beef and YouTube farmer out of Windom, So without further ado,
(04:38):
we'll start THEYWL with bruceied. This is the Musters. We'll
talk quick. Thanks to Peterson Nix remembering text V South
was your details to five double oh nine. Bruce Seed
(05:05):
Farms at Kelso and joins us this afternoon and sagean
Dan farming round up. Thanks for Sergeant Dan Stock. Food's
based here in good Bruce. How's everything in Kelso this afternoon?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Good afternoon, another breezy day in Paradise, Andy. You think
there wouldn't be much win left in the sky that's
been blowing the last two and a half months, but
it appears that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You'll be growing good levels of grass.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, no, it's not too bad. We've actually made the
decision we're going to top some of our second round
again because the first lot of the part of the
first the first part of the first round we topped,
has sort of gone to seed again, so we're nipping
that off as we go, which we'll get far down
in a couple of weeks where that was the right decision.
(05:50):
But there is a few week days in the forecast
and the immediate future, so hopefully we've made the right call.
But yeah, it's still growing. The summer or the winter
crops are poked out of the ground and that now
and the maze is bolting ahead in this hot pine weather.
So yeah, things are definitely grown.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So how would you put the situation feed wise compared
to say, twelve months ago.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Oh, I'd think we're in a bitter spot where we've
made well, made the first round of silage in that
and funnily enough, I thought we were a bit earlier
this year, but the day after we've done it, it
came up on memories to say that we've made silage
the following day the previous year. So we're on about par.
But it's definitely still growing.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Now. You're maze as well. Is interesting because you're one
of the first people around the area to try it,
truth to be known, and you're doing it each cheer.
You think it's got a place.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't has one of the first, but
we've got on the bandwagon, so this will be year three.
So yeah, no, we've decided it's a regular part of
air farming operation in rotation now so it was in
it was on four days later this year than last year.
But soil conditions and weather conditions since they've been ten
(07:10):
times better. So we've had an amazing strike and you know,
it's it's looking great, so who knows that can change,
but it doesn't mind if it's it's dry and hot,
so either way we'll be a winner.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's interesting though, because we've always got told South and
wasn't the right climate for Maze. You almost needed like
a lean land Ninia weather ped and coming through every
year being hot and windy. But I think last season
told us anything.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But yeah, well it's the hybrid, the hybrid Maze Now
we're obviously the technology and the breeding of the plants
that they can. They've managed to come up with a
couple of varieties that thrive in the south here and
their difficult conditions. But yeah, like I said, we're third
year into it. I think there's another go out here's
(07:57):
about five years into it, so yeah, it's probably here
to stay, or say for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Now you're robustic milking set up, you've got there, it's
just ticked over two years.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yes, yep. First milkmen away on the third eighth of
December twenty twenty three. So time flies. So yeah, I know,
we're we're very happy with the decision to go down
that route. So KOs in the air really kicking goal.
They had to look up yesterday. The top k was
actually yesterday down sixty seven liters, would you believe it?
(08:31):
So that is she's fear trucking and so she'll be
on for a good record on that. So the good
thing is we can hold the we can hold the
production and flatten the milk curve. I suppose you could
say in the regard of they're not at the mercy
of the dry whether outside the lack of feed, the
(08:51):
stage of the grass or the lack of So yeah,
it's it's very good for consistent milk flow. So yeah,
I know we're very happy with the decision.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So how would you rate the farming year from your
leans Bruce.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Out of ten overall, when you take into account the
milk price and the weather and all the other outside noise,
I'd probably give it an eight here on farm. You know,
we've had a few struggles through the spring, like most
and that, but obviously the power shortage there for a
(09:30):
while and the damage from the wind we weren't too bad.
But obviously a lot of people got scheduled, So I'd
give it a solid seven point seven five, let's say,
all up. But no, there's not too much to complain about.
And at the end of the day, who listens if
you complain.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Anyway, that's pretty much about it. So as far as
the GDTs, there's another one do before Christmas. You're pretty
relaxed about the situation as such. I wouldn't say relaxed,
but you're pretty As a matter of effect, it is
what it does.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, you know how I roll. My job is to
get the milky out of the cares. It's frontier and
everybody else's job to get the most money they can
for it. So odds on it could drop the way
it's looking, but you know, it is what it is.
I suppose that's pretty much Bruce is saying, isn't it
When it comes to GDT Five years ago nobody knew
(10:23):
what it was, and now every tirement it's on it's
on the national news, so it's obviously a big part
of the New Zealand economy and New Zealand psyche at
the moment. But like I've always said, we control what
weekend and the outside forces and markets in the world.
They have the biggest bearing on everything. So it sounds
(10:45):
like we're going to take a drop. Obviously not as
bad as friends in the UK I spoke to last week.
They just lost another eight cents off their milk price.
They obviously paralet, but you know that's I think my
friend said they were down eleven cents or something in
the last month and a half, so that's quite a
big hit to take. So at least we've got a
(11:05):
bit of forecast and they can give us a bit
more of a heads up at what's coming. But I'm
still reasonably positive that we're gonna be another good payout.
I mean, need a thing with a niner is good.
It wasn't that many years ago. It was a seven
and we thought that was good. So we've probably just
got bigger expectations nowadays that we hit that magic team.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Bruce Seed of kelso you tiny, You're and the kids
have a good festive season, always appreciated your time on
the muster and we'll talk again next year.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, thanks Andy for having us on. I hope we
haven't boored the listeners too much with my ramblings and that,
but it's been good to chew the fat. And I
hope everybody has a safe and merry Christmas and New Year,
and we get some rain when we need rain. The
sun shines and as we're gonna have a barbecue and
go for a swim and we'll catch us all again
next year.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Bruceeed of Kelso and Satins Dan Farming roundup, remembering text
itself to five double O nine to keep yourself in
the drawer for the Master Christmas giveaway, a salute to
the farmers. That's of course, thanks to vetself for the
day's price and the Cargo MP a Manster for the Environment.
Penny Simmons is next long after of living. Oh yeah,
(12:28):
welcome back to say is the Master. Penny Simmons is
MP from the Cargo. She is a Minister for the
Environment as well. Penny.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Good afternoon, Yes, good afternoon, Andy, and what a stunning
weekend it's been. And I arrived back from Wellington on
Saturday afternoon and it's been a beautiful Saturday Sunday. And
the reason I arrived back on Saturday afternoon was we
were sitting under urgency or last week, trying to get
(12:56):
through some important legislation, and people, I wonder you know
why we sit under urgency and why there are certain
things we want to get through, and what the rules
are around it, because on the Thursday nights Friday morning,
we were sitting till twenty to two in the morning,
and that was around the Electoral Amendment Bell. So we
(13:18):
started voting on it at eleven thirty. And once you
start voting on something, you can't stop until the voting's concluded.
And the opposition had put up two hundred amendments to
the BELL. And look, it's a pretty straightforward, sensible bill.
It's setting the enrollment deadline of thirteen days before an election.
(13:41):
You might recall a previous labor government allowed enrolling right
up to including election day, which caused all sorts of havoc.
It also disqualifies all sentenced prisoners that are detained in
prison from enrolling and voting. Gain something pretty sensible. If
(14:01):
you've lost your freedom, it makes sense that you shouldn't
actually be able to vote and that had been changed
by the previous government, and we've set an advanced voting
period of twelve days before the election. It was three
weeks which was just too long, prohibiting provision of free food,
drink and entertainment within one hundred meters of the voting
(14:24):
place entrance. You might recall the manor Era Marii, the
hangy and barbecues and entertainment that was going on with
voting right there, and also expanding offenses of bribery and
treating and undue influence again coming from that situation on
(14:45):
the Marai. So sensible things that we were changing, but
the opposition needed to put up two hundred amendments to
change it. So we went through till twenty to two
in the morning on that but that's just of what
happens when you're under urgency. And we finished twenty to
twelve on Friday night, so we're able to get home
(15:07):
on Saturday, which was good. Andy just acknowledging if people
have got friends and family over in Sydney. The terrible
terrorist event it has been designated by the government by
the Australian government as a terrorist attack on the Jewish
(15:27):
community at Bondai Beach and just an awful, awful thing
to be happening. People trying to celebrate a peaceful event
in the religious calendar. So just thinking of anyone if
they've got friends and family over there, and of course
the sixteen people who are deceased from that, and I
(15:51):
know it's going to be a tough time for many
over there over the Christmas coming Christmas break, Andy, I
was very pleased managed to sneak away on leave on Friday.
They allowed me to come back to them for cargo
and then shoot back to Wellington. They allowed me to
come on leave to see the st graduation, which was
(16:14):
just fabulous. It was a real celebration by the community
of SIT being back in community hands and it was
great to be there for that first graduation under now
community ownership again. So that was a great way to
finish the year for SIT and Andy. I just want
(16:35):
to thank you for all the chats we've had throughout
the year and wish you and your family a very
merry Christmas. And to all your listeners, I hope that
they have a safe and enjoyable Christmas. Enjoy a bit
of Christmas lamb and a Christmas ham and spend some
time with friends and family, which is one of the
(16:58):
most important parts of it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I agree with everything you've said their penny, but I
do have one question regarding the one hundred meters of
a food and entertainment precinct from a polling booth. On
Australia they encourage having a sausage outside of polling booth.
Is that something we need to embrace perhaps, Look, it.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Went too far around that Manuera Maria situation. One hundred
meters isn't that far. It's you could still have a
sausage sizzle, and I suspect they still are having. The
Australian ones are but one hundred meters. You know, you
could have that out in the car park and still
(17:39):
not be within one hundred meters of the voating place.
So I don't think it's overly harsh, and it has
been abused in the past, and so we need to
clamp down on what was happening there.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Tell you what, when you're sitting till two o'clock in
the morning under urgency some pizza shop, the owners must
rub their hands of glee when they hear about what's
going on in Parliament, right, yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
There might have been a bit of KFC around the
place and a pizza or two. So yep, that's what happens.
Unfortunately not particularly healthy.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh no, it's just a matter of doing what you've
got to do. Penny, Hey, we'll let you carry on.
Thanks very much for your contributions. Like you said before,
I hope you and the family have a great break
and we'll do it all again next year. Always appreciated
our chats.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Looking forward to it. Thanks Andy Bye.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Penny Simmons MP from the Cargo. This is the Muster
on hockin Nui. Remembering text Vitz South to five double
O nine with your details to be in the draw.
To one are two hundred dollars VT South voucher and
merch prize pack. Of course, this is the Muster Christmas Giveaway.
A salute to the farmers. Up next the music stop
and I'll keep talking anyway. Georgiett Welder from Vitz South.
(18:55):
Of course, Vitz South with the prizes. Today you're listening
to the Muster. It is the week of the Muster
Christmas Giveaway. Each day this week we're talking to a
different business who have fantastic prizes up for offer. This afternoon,
(19:15):
we're catching up with Georgette Welder of itself. Georgette, Welcome
to the Muster.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Thanks Andy, Hey.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Great to catch up. Firstly, being ale, be honest, there's
not a nine to five job. There's a hell of
a lot that goes on, especially at this time of year, right.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yes, correct, Well, to be fair, that's at any time
of the year. To be fair, we have our pitch
and thrust dependent on the different types of animals we're
working with, so at the moment from our large animal
point of view, we're just slightly a little bit more
on the downsid a bit more cruisy. Not for the
farmers though, they are actually very busy always in the
lead up to Christmas. But yes, things that they bring
(19:55):
off and then they'll be ramping up again in the
new year. It's skinning starting and then later on our
RM checks et cetera. But our small animal team is
quite busy always leading up to Christmas, getting all the
animals vaccinated and sorted out before Christmas. So yes, there
is always stuff on the goal. In general, we're always available,
I guess twenty four hours. People can contact us if
(20:17):
they are a neat so we have to we have
to always be ready, just for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It is a lead up to Christmas. It's all about
being stress free enjoyable as well. We talk about animal
husbandry and just I don't know, trying to get the
best production out of your animals, make them comfortable through
the summer months.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Correct, Yes, I guess that is always a thing in
the end of the data. It's just about you at
a feed that is around. At the moment, people are
pretty good, but it can obviously change sometimes. It can
be tricky in the summer if we get a spell
of drier weather and yeah, if things are looking a
bit more tricky than the people. We are here to
(20:58):
assist in that as well and advice farmers to see
how how they can alter things slightly or change things
slightly within their diets or what they can feed. So
there is yeah, we can be there.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
To assist and bits are on call as well for
emergency situations twenty four seven.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Right, Yeah, including of Christmas and the year. There is
always somebody on call for all our different species. So yeah,
we've got our range of vets that will be available
on call and in between Christmas in a year, our
clinics are open as well, so people can get there,
but if they do need something in between, then they
can still sing out and they can get that organized
(21:37):
even their last minute emergency and drugs if they needed
it for the animal animal health needs. So yeah, we
are in the end of the day available now.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Of course, the rural community is a big part of itself.
Tell us what you're planning for them over the next
month or so.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yes, a very important part of as we we service
our rural community obviously league for our large animal side
of things, but also supporting them with their small animal requirements.
And so in the end of the day, it is
supporting our farmers whereas needles really if they at the
(22:16):
moment we're booking a lot of farmers in for their
their hert scans that will start or they've actually sort
of started now right through into the new year. And yeah,
otherwise whatever their drench plant if that's what they require,
because a lot of people are having their young stock
(22:38):
around and their their sheep farmers require still there their
animal new health needs as well, So whatever plans we
need to put in place, we can sort that.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And it's a fantastic prize as well. The v South
is offering on the Master to day, Georgette, Now we're
talking a two hundred dollars v South voucher as well
a bit of a goodie bags tell us about it.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Yep, that's correct, So we have a bit of a
goodie back. It's probably slightly more small animal focus, but
a lot of people have got still their pets as
well our farmers. So whoever is keen and just get
into the draw and then have a two hundred dollars
about you for any services that they might require, so
(23:23):
that can be used in any bit South clinic around
in South and and attack on.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
So text VET South to five double oh nine with
your details, make sure you put your name and everything
on there and we're going to announce this one died tomorrow.
Hey George, thank you very much for your time on
the muster of this afternoon, and you have a good Christmas.
Always good to catch up with the team from VETTS South.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Yeah, absolutely, thanks for your time, Andy and you have
a fantastic Christmas a new year as well.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
And just a reminder as well, VET South are here

a hold of them if you're after advice around the
Christmas Seas and get in touch to'll be able to

m Z to advise you regarding animal health needs. George
(24:13):
at Welder of v South, so like Georgette said, to
get him the prize for a two hundred dollars vit
South voucher and a merch prize pack. Text v South
to five double A nine with your details as well
and we'll draw a winner tomorrow. You're listening to the
muster before the end of the year of Ben Dooley.
Up next though black Cat's fast bowler, Jacob Duffy. That's
(24:40):
where I sport. Welcome back. This is the Muster on
Hakanui our next guest. We spoke to him a week
while ago and it's fair to say that things have
gone pretty damn well for him since his name is
Jacob duf Fee at the moment leading the bowling attack
(25:03):
for the black Caps and doing a pretty darn good
job of it as well. Jacob, welcome once.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Again, Thanks any thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
You're always good to catch up mate. Look, firstly, these
stats for twenty and twenty five. You've probably heard them,
but they're pretty impressive. Reading thirty five matches, seventy two
wickets seventeen point four to seven average a twenty two
point twenty nine strike for eight five for thirty four
is your best figures. This is for the year twenty
twenty five and the leading wicket taker an international cricket
(25:32):
for to twenty twenty five seventy two wickets. Not as well.
We'll throw in those two five wicket bags against the
Windy's recently. That's pretty good going.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
That's crazy, isn't it when you're sat like that? Yeah,
I so it is a dream just to play one
game for your country and then you get on away
roll picked and stuff and any sort of expirations change
a little bit. So it's just an awesome man. Just
to be sort of a regular member of the team.
I think I've only the home summer especially, I've only
missed one game due to rest. To be had to
play every game has been awesome. And just to get
(26:03):
comfortable at international levels that's such a cool fairling man.
And just to be you know, part of sort of
a winning team, a team that's doing well and playing
winning contributions as good fun.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Considering you've stuck at the domestic game for so long
since twenty twelve, giving your opportunity of making it work
too still must be a real pinch me moment, it is.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Mate, Yeah, for sure, I always say it like those
here's in my life. I guess that's helped me so
much and sort of easy as now you know, all
that experience built up, although it to the different level,
it's still cricket the end of the day. And now
I've played a lot of cricket, albeit at the domestic level,
I feel there's not many sort of scenarios of situations
or conditions that I haven't experienced before, and now I'm
(26:45):
sort of I'm getting them. At the international level. I
feel comfortable and know what to do and how to
sort of respond to those situations, which is this huge
and you think it more and more like in the
domestic scene these days. You see like Michael Ray the
other day debuted and he come in and did really well.
And obviously when Darryl for It started, he had a
massive sort of domestic experience mind has about to and
(27:07):
now he's pressure internationally, so that's good, you know. Signed
for our system and domestic cricket and shows you how
strong it is.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well if you compare it to Australia and David Hussies
and Michael Hussey. Sorry' is the one Betsman that comes
to mind almost ten thousand runs domestically before he got
a looking into the Australian team. But to see that
New Zealand's getting debts and I suppose we can talk
about those injuries as well. Certainly been a lot going on,
but it just shows like you say that we're building
bowling debts, it isn't it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
And there's not many dudes has come to play for
New Zealand in recent years and just hasn't sort of
now on a huge straight away again, like I say,
it's huge, it's huge respect to sort of domestic game.
But yeah, like you know, there's a time there where
there's obviously Salvi was a big one. Keep him out
of the scene, but he had fault and Waggoner Matt Henry.
Obviously these are a great sort of game that sort
(27:57):
of just how that spot for a sort of a
decade plus and you know it had to end one
day and I kind of has now so stime for
the next generation to step up, which you know, I
think we're doing all right.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, of course Michael Ray doing his thing the other
day as well, Zach Folks on the scene player taking
a unfortunately with that injury. But that's a staggering thing
about this when the other day you did it A
player down.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Yeah, it's been a bit too much of that lately.
Only only one playdowns and two bad mates. So better
than Aaronly heaving two. Seems like we didn't Hagley, which
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
That sucks. That was too much.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
That was a lot of bowling. And to get to the
end of that Hegley game and only come out with
a drawer was pretty disheartening. So you get across the
line this time. I know when texts went down, obviously
we felt then, but we're also thinking, oh god, here
we go again. So he really turned the game, and
that first innings with his spell, he was bought the
energy and got them jumping around and his forkits were
(28:51):
huge there, so that can't be understated. But then I
guess to go out and that you know that that
third innings and do what we did and get it
done and reasonably quickly. Too. Was was seriously satisfying and
and good for the body to get a future days
off too.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's a big thing of being a frontline bowler and
bringing the energy as they call it, to the field.
And it must be a big It must be really
messive for you guys. Somebody like Michael Ray seems a
larger life personality, comes across really well and just brings
a little bit of X factor. It must be pretty
cool on the field.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
That isnt He's a good friend of mine. I's actually
a gringement at his wedding. He's He's obviously played a
lot of cricket for Tago, so we've gone really well.
But here's here's a character. And that's specially anytime you
get the Solvely Mitch a David as well, and it
is pretty special. We're gettingto dep tants coming for the
captain ceremonies and stuff. It's this sort of first time
going through all that and you know, you sort of
(29:43):
make a big deal of it and they get their
hat and it's very special. And then yeah, even during
the game, you're just you're feeding off your energy. And
I'll be honest, mate, it's easier I guess it must be.
I know whether it's adrenaline or whatever it is, but
it's easy to get up to test cricket. Then the
domestic four y sets for sure, So your body could
be hurting a little bit more, but I guess you
(30:03):
just don't quite notice it because I guess there's a
little bit more on the line, and you know, there's
a bit of buzz in the crowd, and you get
a bit of fizz and energy off that too. So
that's good fun and I'm really really enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
So in your bowl, ninety two overs over two test smetches,
So you can't tell me it doesn't take a toll
on the body.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Oh, des Yeah, that first after that first game, I'm
gonna I got up Like every spell I got up for.
It wasn't too bad. I knew it had a job
to do and a big part of that was bringing
like good energy and I was buying a lot of
bounces on that sort of docile wicket, so I knew
I just had to bring good energy. But then those
two days after I felt like a heavy track. It
(30:41):
was my knees were a bit sore and hobbed them
out of bed in the morning I got tended off
there my knees, so I'm just dealing with that constantly.
So that played up. But then I guess there was
the day before it was finally the day I felt okay,
And then yeah, it probably showed that day one of
that last years that zachy as well. We're it's a
little bit flat that first fell, but sort of once
(31:03):
we got into the rhythm of the game and stuff
and bought a bit of more energy, we're sort of
underway again. I thought we did that.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Have you had to reassess your goals based on the
way that things have gone this season?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Ah?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
No, not really. I'm not a big goal setter in
that regard. I'm just sort of, you know, I'm joining
the ride. I'm trying to just keep improving sort of
every day, and that's the main thing I've I've got
a few different work on in terms of sort of
my whitebole game, whether it be Slavs or death execution,
all that kind of stuff, and then a little few
work on the repul. I guess that's sort of the
(31:37):
goals I have in my mind. I don't really have
sort of you know, games played or the selections all
that kind of stuff. I sort of just sticked to
the stick to my own stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Your name's being mentioning quite a bit regarding the ip
O loction coming up this week, Jacob, would you be
keen to be involved?
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Uh, yeah, it's a funny one. We because we obviously
we've got it India for for just for the World Cup,
so and then the World Cup goes for over a month,
so it's already two months in India straight, and then
I guess if you made the IPR you'd go for
another two and a half months straight after that, So
you've got four and a half months in India straight,
which is a long time away from home. So yeah,
(32:18):
it'll be very cool and it'll be an amazing experience,
and obviously you know there's the money and stuff to
be pretty tall. But on the other hand, if I
didn't go, but a time at home wouldn't be the
worst thing in the world either. Two were obviously what's
coming up big tests and stuff next year, So I'm
doing it as the one each way. If if I do,
I do it, then if I don't, I don't, happy
days and we can do other stuff. So yeah, that
(32:39):
is a bit of a funny one to us Jacob.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
From a player's perspective, there's no more red Bull cricket
after the Third Test against the Windys this week. Is
it a bit of a letdown after what we've had
over the last couple of weeks? And what is it?
No red Bull cricket again until against England? Is that right?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (32:54):
England and Ireland first and then Englandland May June. Yeah,
I don't know, I guess yeah. Some people absolutely love
the red Bull. I sort of like, I kind of
love it all, so I really enjoy the twenty twenty stuff.
Touring India is pretty special place to go, so I've
hardly said it's a letdown. And obviously with an ICC
event a World Cup on the horizon too, that's something.
(33:17):
I've never been to a World Cup before, So I've
done the Champions TROPHI you last year, but I've never
done the World Cup. So World Cup in India is
pretty special. So I can't say that's a lot down there.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I dare say, you're just so like you say, you're
just soaking everything in and so happening at once and
just living for the moment, right, Yeah?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Pretty much?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Man?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Yeah, all these new experiences and yeah, it's awesome. It's
a lot of time away from home, which that's probably
the one part that people don't sort of see and understand,
which it wasn't always the easiest, but no, the cricket
was such good fun. I'm really enjoying it. Like I said,
just being able to contribute to a black Cats team,
(33:55):
that's that's bloody satisfying. So that's what dreams are made off.
So just yeah, taking as a u.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, and we're all along for the ride as well.
Jacob Duffy, black CAP's extraordinary at the moment. Thanks very
much for your time on the Muster. Keep up the
great work and make sure you get a bit of
a break over the festive season. And we're really enjoying
your work down here in the Deep South.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
No love it, mate, Thanks Monts appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Jacob Duffy doing great things with the black Caps at
the moment. You're listening to the Muster, remember text that
South to five double A nine to go And for
today's prize for the Muster Christmas give away. Ben Dooley's
up next before we wrap up Summer Sea. Welcome back
(34:44):
to the Muster. John Mellencamp is the music. He's had
a lot of changes to his name over the years,
John Cougar, John Mellencamp, John Cougar Mellencamp, but regardless, a
lot of timeless tunes. As we catch up with Ben
Dooley farming down at Wyndham, Sheep Beef and YouTube farmer,
get a dolls Andy, how's it going? The countdown to
Christmas is on? How's it going on? Your place?
Speaker 8 (35:05):
It is on where we're going pretty well at the moment. Actually,
we win the maternals last week, got them more drinks
and headis didn't have a draft out of the end.
I got the terminals in on Crocky. What day was it,
I can't even remember now Friday, I think we've got them,
got the usual crutched up, so had to draft the
lambs off. It was a challenge. We've got them crutched
up and then they've got sean use today and modern
(35:27):
Saturday they got crushed actually, and ye there is the
us being sewn today and drinks. All the terminal lambs
on mum belly drafted off and yeah, we're we're actually
sitting pretty up to date, about seven days earlier than
would normally be. So, yeah, bring on some good weather
in the next seven days so I can drag a
bit bloody boat out of the shed.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I've seen the social social channels around croutching the US.
It's a hell of a setup. Hell, what numbers are
we talking to get stuff done?
Speaker 8 (35:53):
Oh? That was phenomenal. Normally it would take me three
to four days, bearing in mind that obviously there's other
stuff on farm that has to be done, not doing
full days. They started at ten to seven, they stopped
for smokeout at nine. We started up again about nine
thirty five, and they finished at ten twenty five. So
(36:14):
I made that bang on three hours and they did
seventeen hundred and ninety one.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah, you're kidding me.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yeah, the boss man had said either I'll be done
by afternoon smoker or should have teached them and said, man,
you guys are lazier having afternoon smoke out at ten thirty.
But no, that was a bit of an eye at that.
I expected it to be a full day, not three hours.
So yeah, we got most of a productive day after
that too. It was quite good.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
So does this change your thinking towards hand piecework?
Speaker 8 (36:43):
No, Look, my thinking has always been that when we
can comfortably afford to get the crutches in, we'll get
the crutches in. And it just so happens that this year,
you know, things are looking pretty reasonable, We've already had
a reasonable track of money come in, we were comfortable
enough to do it, so we thought, no, I just
I don't want to be absolutely wrecked on Christmas Day again.
Normally we finished yearing on the twenty third and twenty
(37:04):
four sort of a catch up day. I've never had
any time to go and do any Christmas shoping or
anything like that. Not that I want to do that,
but you know, there comes with time when you have to.
And yeah, it's always been an issue around managing to
afford it. And of course this is only a fifty
of farming on our own, so yeah, the previous four
years haven't been that conducive to adding extra cost on
the system. But all in all, as much as it
(37:26):
adds extra cost, I would say it also adds extra
profit because a few are the things that it's allowing
us to do, get a bit more work done elsewhere.
And also we're moving the terminal winning to the fourth
of January. Everything's just fitted in real nice. So as
long as those lambs keep growing on mum and too
many haven't been weaned by being drafted off ten knights
in a row, yeah, that should be quite a profitable
(37:47):
venture actually, so no, always the way we've wanted to
do it, just haven't had the ability to.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
So the lambs looking clean.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Yeah, lambs has stayed pretty clean. Oh the earlies that
we waned and was, but they're not. But that's because
they got weaned. They had a couple of days and
then they got fign on the first grazing young grass,
so you can imagine what they're standing to the baking
of them. But they look to be doing well. But
now most of the lambs, the rons in the in
the main line terminals are all they're staying reasonably clean.
But the crutches will come, and I think we're booking
(38:17):
into the sixth of January and give them all a
good tide out to a full crutch on them once again,
probably less than a full day to do three thousand
and yeah, pay the bill and be done with it,
and then we're looking to go on holiday not long
after that. Fifteen days, so yeah, good to get her
all done.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
You're sounding lot, you're pretty much out with the play.
Is there ever such a thing for a farmer.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
Though, Well, there's always more to do. There's always gorse
to spray, there's always fences to fix, there's always that stuff.
But sometimes the boat takes priority there too, so we'll
see how it goes. But now on the main jobs,
we're certainly pre on top of things at the moment.
It's been a bit of a bit of a marathon
since start in November, but it's just that way every year.
It's yeah, we're working on trying to make it a
(38:59):
little bit better, but more user friendly, you should say,
But ultimately that work has to happen, doesn't it. So
you just got to get it done and then you
can focus on whatever else you want to do once
all that work is that time critical stuff is done
and out of the way.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
We looked back at the twelve months in Neglar culture,
especially in the sheep and beef sector. Does you'll be
pretty positive if you gave it a mark out of ten.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
Yeah, I can't give it a teen. I can probably
give it a seven seven and a half purely because
of September and October. At all in all, we had
good recovering prices last year. If we looked from Christmas
to Christmas, you know, at September last year, we were
dreading what the lamb price was going to be, and
it actually held up pretty well. And by the end
of the season it had come through pretty good. We
(39:44):
grew grass all summer, which was nice. Stock were pretty healthy,
crops did well. We got through winter reasonably happily. Yeah,
like I say, September October weren't that nice. But then
what a comeback November made, so we might even be
able to scratch and eight there team, I think for
the season that's been Yeah, the challenges, but when you
(40:04):
look at it from the season beforehand, we yeah, we're
just very thankful it was what it was.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
So you're doing anything over your YouTube channel Sheep Deep
South Sheaven Beef over the summer holidays.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Yeah, No, there's been quite a few videos go out
there recently. What we heard sharing topping, crops going in
play owing, trying to think what else I'll put up.
There will be a sharing one go up soon. No,
there's heats stuff going out there. All of a sudden.
We've got heaps of stuff that we're doing in time
to film. So yeah, it's about this time of year
(40:36):
it starts getting really amped up, and then it'll do
that through it all about May, and then I've got
to come up with a planful winter to try and
keep getting content. But we'll see how we go. There
no no plean to going out there. So if you're
curious to go along and have a lock.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
You are what we call the farming influencer, aren't you.
Speaker 8 (40:50):
I don't use that influenced by things I do, you
probably need to take it pretty serious. Look in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Hey, good on your girls. Will you carry on? You
Sarah and the family, have a great break and we'll
do it all again next year. I've really appreciated your
