Speaker 1 (00:02):
So cool, killer, let's just sick. This is the muster
on Hakanoi. Daryl Moyles of Sergeant Dan Stock Food. He
resides in the skyscraper on the Gore CBD skyline, and
all the beets and the bloops coming out of there
at the moment, Darryl, I actually wonder if it's a
(00:24):
stock food company or a nightclub you're running in there.
There's a lot of activity going on and more often
than not as well, good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You had another great intro in the year. You know,
things are humming over here at the moment, that's for
sure that I can assure. There's no nightclub. A bit
of a Talking Heads fan, David Byrne, but no no
nightclub here at the stage, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
David Burns. Of course the music today being Talking Heads,
but it's just that time of the year, given the
way the weather has been over the past months. Darryl,
you guys this is your peak season.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You know we're running at the moment and all go
really Obviously Carfro and Derry Feed sort of peaking at
the moment, so we literally running cup of staff on
holiday this week, which was in hindsight was madness, but However,
even I've got to get out and do some work
on the factory floor this week, so I'm doing it
a bit tough to be honest.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Now there's nothing better than the bus being out there
showing everyone else how it's supposed to be done right.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, a couple of guys keep looking at me sideways.
They didn't actually realize that I have actually done it before,
so that's always good. But no, I actually enjoy it,
so honing around on the forklift and doing a bit
of begging it doesn't do anyone any harm.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I remember as school bus driver mister short and you
never seen him get out of the school bus seed.
It was like Lego figuringe figure just stuck in there,
would never move, and when you did see him outside
of the seat, it was such a weird situation.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yell, that's probably right. They thought I'm busy warming the
seed in the office all the time. But now now
she's all good. So we've flared out. October's the biggest
month since we've been going in twenty years. Short three
thousand town of Pellets for the month, which it's big
telly for air factory. We put it in quite a
lot of new gear over the last few years and
we've got it actually running. We never thought we'd exhaust
(02:04):
that capacity. But nothing's going pretty good, and so it
should be with the way things are going, because.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
What is it the new Pecki you got in there?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Karen?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Your Karen's going with a house on fire? Today she's
doing around ten ton an hour, which is five hundred
bigs of carfee begging an air on that machine at
the moment, and we need to be because a bit
of a demand. So now Karen's going really well.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
So as far as dairy feed, a lot of people
taking the opportunity. Given the way the weather's been has
been a little bit averagely to be honest, a bit
of supplement hasn't gone astray.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, there's quite a bit of dairy feed going out
this time of year, and obviously the spring's been bloody awful,
if I can say that on the radio, And you
know a lot of guys feeding quite large rates just
because the shorter grass grass is clearly coming now. But
once we hit mating, there's not a lot of dramatic
change and feed rate, not overnight anywhere. You've got to
keep those girls in good nick for mating a lot
(03:00):
of feed going out the door. We're doing close to
six hundred twent of dairy feed a week these days,
so that's again a lot more than we used to
do for our little factory. So everything's humming along nicely. Touchwood.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
As far as car feed, how's that been.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, carfeed's good. Obviously well ahead of other years just
because of the demand for car feed, and a lot
of beef is being weird and obviously attle heap of
replacements read year and a year, So well ahead on
car feed for the year, and that's pretty good. But
we've got the new aminocar feeds going absolutely great guns
and we've had some great reports of people saying the
(03:34):
calves are at one hundred and ten kilos way or
earlier than normal. Growth rates are fantastic, So that's proving
very popular and I think next year it's going to
be absolutely huge.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, just go over the amino car feed again, Darryl.
The appeal of it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So what it is is basically a high quality car
feed with a whole lot of extra amino acids chucked
in it. So a lot of raw materials have amino acids.
Amino acids are you're building blocks of protein and that's
what we all live in, grow on. But what we've
done is we've boosted a really good quality coffee with
extra amino acids and that's proven in some trials overseas
(04:10):
and here locally. That just puts on more body weight
and it's we've had quite a number of worts on
customers saying that that's correct and going really well.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And of course the chicken feed, how's that been.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Chicken beta just keeps on going. No, that's fantastic at
the moment. It keeps going up and up every month. Actually,
so yeah, we was just selling more and more of
the chicken, especially the bolt bags, a lot of sort
of free range outfits now buying half ton and one
ton bags. So that's going along pretty well. Improving you know,
the eggs of the proof and the in the pudding,
so that eggs are fantastic and no complaints there. It's
(04:48):
going very good. So month and month we're increasing those sales.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But the big question is regarding is cargo and that
snail feed you're producing. I mean, you don't produce season
like five grand bags or anything like that, do you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
No, No, we're producing about two hundred kilos at the
time of that, but I think the two hundred kilos
takes those snails. We will get through. As we discussed
last time. I'm not sure the stocking rate, but that
two hundred kilos of snoil feed goes quite a long
way from the set of buzz out of it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, we need to find out the stocking rate for
these snails. This has me intrigued to the Corderyl.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to going visiting the chap Actually
next time I'm up that way, so I'm very keen
to have a look at the operation. It's something I
haven't seen before. Sir. Yeah, that'll be interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, you're going to have to take some photos and
put them on your socials something. This is just highly intriguing.
Let's talk about a code because we can the Yule
Blacks the Grand Slam, although some people are saying, well
it's not a Grand Slam they played Ireland in Chicago,
but beating the four top teams in Europe, although Wales
debatable debatably being in that equation. How are they going
(05:51):
to go against the Palms? How are we going to
beat them?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's a really good question. The palms against Australia didn't
look really that flash. I mean, we seem to pull
one out of the bag. You know, with sixty minutes
gone in the game, we look like we're up against it.
But the all becks a bit like Canterbury. You've got
to win the last twenty, last ten minutes and they
just seem to pull it out of the bag. Got
some real class in the side, and I think McKenzie
(06:14):
just showed how much how much class he's got. Obviously
a local boy, he's got to have class. But no,
I think it's going to be a fantastic game. But
I I'm not a big fan of losing to the Pond,
so hopefully, hell we can beat them. I'd rather lose
to Scotland than England, and we beat them, so bring
it on.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
You never want to lose to England. That's just a fact,
no total fact.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Absolutely, Hey, good only Darrel.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'll let you carry on. But lastly, if people want
to get in touch with Sergeant Dan Stock foods looking
at supplement requirements for their farm, what's the best way
to get in touch?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Just at eight hundred number, which is eight hundred Sgt dam.
Speaker 1 (06:52):

Speaker 2 (06:55):
