to see a bit of sunshine about in the Deep South.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's great, isn't it. What a change. We'll enjoy it
while we can.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Whether it's like a box of chocolates you could have,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You get a caramel nougat one moment, the next minute
you moved on to the peppermint cream.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't like either of those, so.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I'll make a point. I'm not buying you roses anytime soon. Then,
you fussy.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Bugger, no chocolate any.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Hey, agym.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We talked about it last week regarding what was going
on there happening next week in Balclutha day just a
further reminder, Yeah we have.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
So next Tuesday, the fourteenth, we got a g that's
going to be held in Balclutha. And if I said
to you, Andy, it's at the Closer District War Memorial
and Community Center, would you know where that is?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I would actually say it's on the brand new building
opposite the new pub that's about to open down by
the bridge at the far end of town on State one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I think more people would know where it is
if I just said it's the fancy new building just
before the bridge as you're heading north. So that's where
we're having our AGM this year.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
That's how I found it took me years when living
in Gore, been here coming up seven years, you just
knew everything was by landmarks.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, So no fancy building, so we'll utilize that.
See what it's like. I haven't actually been there myself.
So that's running from one thirty till four thirty. We've
got we've got obviously the team from down here with
our directors due for young Chair Mett McCrae, Vice Matt Taylor,
(01:59):
and we've also got Kate Eklan coming down as well,
so it'd be really good to hear from Kate from
a national perspective about what Beef and mem are up to.
And we've also got Philmunt Morrison coming in to give
a just a bit of a chat around what he
does as the Kalovs Real Leader facilitator. He's got a
(02:20):
really interesting background being in the army, so that'll be
good to get to know a bit about him as well.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So once again the details around the AGM and do
people need to register?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, so JOm hanline to register. It's more for catering
purposes than anything, but good to know who's coming. But yeah,
Tuesday the fourteenth, one point in the fancy new building
on the left going over the bridge.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
All chances are for catering.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're going to go to that new pub opposite the
new building down by the bridge.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, yeah, well I might but yeah, no judgment.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yes, focus groups they're all that's all about the now.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, so we've got now we've got six focus groups
in Southam. I have to say it is a bit
of bit to get my head around six different topics.
But the most recent one was USE Today. We had
a focus group around growing your people, growing your business.
So that's a new one that's come together collaborating with
(03:22):
number eight HR. That's been a really good There was
a really good day use today looking at there was
more of it. It was an introductory session and we
looked at motivation engagements, setting some KPIs and benchmarking around
how we're going to measure our progress as we work
together as a group over the next twelve months. But
(03:43):
one thing that was really noticed within our delivery is
we do a lot of workshops, a lot of field
days and things around product production. And now we're looking
at exploring more, you know, those soft skills around people management,
but also looking at how we can support people coming
into the industry and progressing through a pretty clear pathway.
(04:06):
So yeah, it was a really good day and I'm
excited to keep that group going.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's better ram buying day not far away from the
ram selling season, dare or sale. We've just gone through landing,
but the circle starts again.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, so something that I could talk about all day.
Genetics ram buying. Yeah, I mean it's an investment that
sort of kicks off in November, depending where you buy
your rams. Obviously North Island a bit sooner than the South.
But we've got to be a ram by and field
day up at Nisdale Station, So Nistel obviously breathe themselves
(04:43):
Mistlee Genetics and that is going to be on Friday,
the thirty first of October. So I've gone in there
and juggled up the day juggled up we would normally
do in a delivery workshop and have changed it around
to be a really practical hands on session. So for
this particular day, we're going to have both maternal and
terminal rams in the wheelshed. We're going to be talking
(05:05):
a lot around the like just the importance of actually
understanding the figures that are putting that are put in
front of you, and you know how you can actually
decipher what that means to you in terms of the
bottom line, So how to select your mate, how to
select for your growth, and what that actually means to
your business. One of the real key points that come
(05:28):
out of the field day is the importance of ensuring
that you're really clear around what your breeding objective is.
So it's being able to assess your performance on farm
and come away and see where the gaps or opportunities
lie in terms of genetics. So really you know key
(05:49):
skills there and how to go and get the most
out of your out of your rams and what you're doing.
So I'm excited for that day. We also look at
a selecting utilizing the improved tool, and I've got a
local vet coming up to also talk about how to
look after your rams from an animal health perspective. More
(06:12):
often than that we can be prone to slapping them
in the forestry block or in the dog tackipedict sometimes
and for your most expensive animal on farm, it's probably
not the best way to manage them. So we do
talk about how to look after your rams so that
you know they are really going to do the job
that you want them to do.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Absolutely, and as well the where wise workshops they continue.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yes, so we've got on Thursday the thirtieth is a
wor and Wise workshop scheduled to happen up in Roxburgh
certainly where we'll be rolling out more of these, but
yet another good day scheduled for Roxburgh on the thirtieth,
so that'll be at the Roxburgh Hall. It's always going
(06:58):
to be a hot topic. I fe also got opportunity
