Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's hit up near Milton to find Nigel Woodheads. Mate.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey done loke did you hear from him? Mate?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It has been a while since our last yeck do
I hear a bit of ambience in the background. What
are you up to to?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, we're well, we tailed, we more here and we
more just side the yard here the tail which finishes
off the bulk of the mix stage. And it's been
quite uneventful tailing up until about half an hour ago
where all hell broke loose of its went one way,
their lambs went the other and to describe it as
to describe it as a cluster would be putting it mildly,
(00:34):
So we bailed on that idea. And yeah, that's that's
given us a couple of spears this morning. But yeah,
we I usually like to try and work the hots
and lambs of the dogs shipping for a few gateways
and just get him used to moving as a mob
before we tail them. So it was a last minute
decision to have a crack at that mob, but it
(00:54):
all went up. So that'll teach me for not being
prepared by anyway. Well, we'll get them sort of out
lad in the weekend. They'll with the entertailing.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Hopefully all a calculated game, this farming, isn't it. Well,
it's fitting Chad's given the wool and the sharing that
we had with Michelle before. Keeping with the animal. You're
working on the back end of things. Do you use
the gas iron or the rings?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
We get a contractor and to do the bark of
our tailing. Actually, so that was Tuesday, just past week's job,
and they use they use an iron because it's all
about true put you get the lambs in and get
him back out again nice and quick. I'd prefer to
use the iron. I think the pain, but I think
the pain is more short lived. You know, you watch
(01:38):
the lambs when you put a ring on their tail,
and they can sort of sulk in the corner for
quite a while. And there's obviously a favorite of pain
involved where I think, you know, the iron, they don't
seem to sulk. And obviously I don't know whether it's
a different pain or it just doesn't hurt as much
or what, but the lambs definitely don't seem to be
as as affected by the iron. But we don't actually
have one for the tiny at the tailing. We do ourselves,
(02:02):
so we'll Yeah, like this morning, we were just using
rings because yeah, basically because I'm too tight to going
by and one for a few for a few hundred
limbs when the contract does the bulk of it.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, right, got so we had to have the special
round up today because you had your extra special labor,
your additional hands on deck.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh yeah, you know the kids there were most myth
that they missed out on tailing earlier in the week,
but it was a day here and it was at school,
so in so yeah, this this week, mother just decide
the yard here. There was only a hundred of them.
It wasn't worth getting, you know, setting the printles up
for it. So I said to the kids I brought
them earlier in the week that will you know, they
(02:41):
can give us a hem of this mob this morning.
And they were my struggle with that, which was quite cool. Actually,
they were in there trying to catch catch limbs for
me and getting them in the crowdle Yeah, it's quite cool.
So the awesome that the kids, Yeah, they actually loved
that stuff. Yeah, and yeah, it's a pretty cool upbringing you.
We're pretty lucky to hear been able to do all
that sort of stuff. And we're that age and you
(03:03):
get the odd boat from the odd lamb. You don't
pick up quite right. But it's all learning experience and
that and.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
The stuff that memories are made of. All the fond
ones are going back to me from time on Helden Station.
And you go home afterwards with all the bruises, and
Mum would be horrified and you'd stink for a couple
of days afterwards. Do you save up any of the tails?
Are you one to enjoy them? Cook them up?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, I'm not a tail I'm not a tail person.
I couldn't even I've never eaten a tail, not once. No, Well,
the people who the people who like them, love them.
It's yeah, funnily enough, we yeah, straight after tailing earlier
in the weekend, put them all in the hull, and
then heads on Wednesday had the guys, but beginning has
(03:50):
got twenty five of them came out of net sect
and sprayed around all our newly planted pine trees. And
when I said I've been tailing the next day, they
were clamoring over each other against the tails. I say, well,
they're all about eight feet under ground at the moment.
So if I'd known, I would have kept a whole lot,
but I didn't even think about it, so they were
most pissed off. I hadn't kept them any tails.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That surprises me, being the astutie business man you are,
and this is something that you could have tasked the
kids with for the long weekend too. Have that we
stall at the end of the road a couple of
bucks for a lamb's tail.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Now are we till having money making your eggin?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I know, right, we should have had this conversation a
week ago.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, I know that's the thing. I was all planned
out for tailing, but one plane I hadn't made was
keeping the tails.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And keeping the kids happy. At least you managed to
take one of those boxes. Wonderful. We've had a reprieve
in the weather. Well for now, let's not look too
ahead of ourselves into the weekend. But the sun has
been out and the temperature has been out for the
past couple of days, and you're watching the grass grow.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Oh, the grass is taken away nicely. Actually was two
warm days. It was a range today. I was on
the track for the rain made life of difficult and
blue blue the all night like at the top of
the surface of the grounds dried out nicely now and
beautiful day. The sun's out, it's hard their cloud and
(05:09):
the fight today a nice one to try the ground
out again. So yeah, hopefully hopefully there's weather forecast, but
Amra doesn't quite come to fruition and we might dodge
another bullet because yeah, we need, you know, we we
we need a good couple of weeks in front of
us as fine, and we did to get some trackers
really moving and dry the ground out. I actually booked
and got our contractor to come this past week and
(05:32):
direct drill a whole lot of paddocks while conditions were good,
and yeah, conditions are really good, but they're just a
couple of kale pettics had a big wet spots in
the middle from springs and just sort of damp areas
hadn't quite dried out enough. So there's a couple of
holes and a couple of paddocks, but it's not the
end of the world. Will get them sorted out later.
But yeah, so we've got all our all our early
(05:54):
spring planting done apart from one peedic of kale that
needs to go and well eyeset, but just once we
can get on the follow week perdic and then then
we'll be good. So we're actually in a pretty good
spot in this rhine, not that we need it, but
he hasn't done us any harm considering we put all
the seeds hap the seeds in the ground this week.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
