Speaker 2 (00:23):
No good things any get afternoon.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
How's everything going in west of Targo today? You've had
a bit of blue sky this morning and enjoying it
into the afternoon obviously.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yep, no, it's look, it's been a good, great morning.
No wind. It was windre getting used today, but obviously
we're getting used to the window over the spring. But
that's good. Today we've got a plane over at Clevedale's
putty bit of line one and we're going to seed
a few blocks with the plane. So it's a good
day for that. So hopefully getting all the seed on
and get covered later on today and that job that'll
be one job, another job ticked off the list.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
That's a good job to get done, especially given the
way the wind's been.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh yeah, well it's been we've sort of been waiting
on the plane. It'll be right. But behind their track
where we were slowly catching up. And yes, hopefully get
the seed on it rain. Hope, well, get a bit
of rain on Friday, a bit of luck.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
How's it looking there as far as the grasscovers, is
it starting to move now?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
To be fair, I it's actually probably slowed down, I
reckon because it's just it's just actual getting quite dry.
It's obviously not burning off, but like the ground is
very hard.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
So you're after some rain, that's what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yep, yep, no, we you never turned down rain this
time of the year, but we do need rain keep
things tacking on, belp. We have got good covers. It's
quite look at the best hands for quite a few years. Really.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, it's unteresting when you look at the season today.
So I think it's a higher twenty three or twenty
four and gore today, but considering the way the weather's
been and everybody's saying the same thing as you, a
little bit of rain just to take things over because
the ground starting to get a bit hard when you're
working it.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, well yeah, we opened up some blocks. Yeah, lar
two weeknds and get my brothers and I couldn't get
over hard. The ground was and yeah, it would have
been nice to have a bit of moisture before we
did it. One I make things a bit soft. But well,
all the lamb feed and stuff we have gone, and
you know it need to I'd need to share a rain.
So it's all way through the ground. But you can
just tell it struggling.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
How did tailing go?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
We finally finished on Friday. We Yeah, we end up
tailing about forty two lambs between all the outfits, so yeah,
it was Yeah, we were all places to see the
end of it. We were sick of tailing in the
wind and the cold days. But we got it done
on the end, so it was Actually it was good
to finish up.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So how many days did that take? Forty two tails off.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
We were working. We're pretty averaging two two and a half.
They was a day over the whole thing. We have
to do a couple of big days here and they're
depending on mob sizes. But so yeah, it's a few days.
It's a few days.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, it'll be pretty chuffed though. The last lamb going
down the shot. It's almost like a celebration of the
jobs done. That's a hell of a task.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Well, yeah, it was, it was. It was actually good
to finish up and obviously end up we have got
the kid time from school and you're in Lincoln, and
so we finished up with a bit of sort of
family day really on the last day, with a few
hoggits and wait time at Cleveland Air So that was
quite good.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So you're quite happy with your tellies or things considered.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, we're probably probably I'm ticking over the on the outfit.
We're probably average aboute hundred and forty two hundred and
forty three percent Lemming. So it's not too bad. But
I I at home, I've yeah, I got heavy with
that that bad bad weather. I was. I was right
in the middle leambing, so my mind was back a
little bit. Was when I was really hoping. But hey,
it is I can't you can't do much about the weather.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So now we're getting through to two thirds of the
way through November. It's not that long till December the
twenty first year. I say it without saying what the
day actually is part, but I mean you start looking
at the season now, start looking at what we're going
to get red meat price wise, and it's looking pretty buoyant.
I think it's fair to.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Say Yeah, it's looking very good. Yeah, I may like
may may it stayed there for a while a long time,
it'd be great, but well, so it happens. But yeah,
they're looking it's iking pretty good up to Christmas from
like and see what I've been told.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
So yeah, So do you drench on the yees?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I no, not only certain amount where I do. I
do some test and I I need drinks on wall,
But no, we'd try to take them through to weaning
and do the weaning we did. We did do the
early US. We're abtoually winning them next week so that
those lands are looking quite good. But so it'll be
interest to see how they go.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Do you have a problem to do with wearing burdens
or drink resistance as such?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I think everyone's got a problem these days, and we're
monitored it all the time. I think we have to.
But we're trying to not drench as much as we
you know, we try not to drinks there often. So yeah,
we'd like we didn't drink any US this year free lamb.
You knows is that there's a bit more. Of course,

(04:38):
I say ship on them, but the US are still healthy,
so I'm happy with not drenching, so you know the
rams we're acually sort of rams up to our afternoon,
so they're they're looking really good. So it'd be good
to get up close to than the yards and have
a have a bit of a sort up.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, rams, selling season comes around quicker than not.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh, tell me about it. It's ye and we're we're
probably like getting a news there out, but it is
out and it has been posted to a lot of
their clients, so they will get it. So you know,
I've heard a few fether ringing up to sir, No,
we are you selling have still a lot but a
year we are. You've really just been behind the season.
I don't know why. It's just the weather.

Speaker 1 (05:12):

you're just trying to look forward and think happy thoughts
every now and then.
