Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome back to the muster. This Saint Patrick's Day. So
we're playing some Irish chains, Darrel Moyles, a Sage and
Dan Stock Foods. They're in the basically the biggest building
on the Gorse CBD as you're driving through the middle
of the town by the railway line, and they specialize
in that beautiful smell of molasses, especially at six am
in the morning when everything's all guns to the gun
(00:37):
all over there as that Stock food line gets that
production out the door.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Good afternoon, Daryl, Good afternoon, and another great introduction. And yes,
I love the Poe's one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Wow, Saint Patrick's stay. Do you think it's overrated or
it's something that needs to be celebrated.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh, no, it's good. Accuse to have a beer and Irish. No,
it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, you've been pretty busy though. We'll talk about a
shop surely. But you've been over in Aussie in Melbourne.
It's a fantastic city. It's a going head city.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, very impressed. I've only been there a lot of
years ago and I didn't remember a lot of it.
But no, very impressed with Melbourne. And we had a
next staff member living over there, so we got chauffeur
all over the place and pretty impressed. Actually, yeah, no,
awesome city.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Now, Sergeant and stock Foods, it's coming up to the
busy season on farm in regards to tapping and the likes.
How things been from your perspective, Yeah, we're.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Just starting to think about that. Really. We're starting to
make quite a few of their EU nuts for tapping,
and so we're starting to get a few orders for those,
especially going through the Central and so on. So that's happening.
And obviously autumn flush of grass. A lot of guys
are on autumn mixers for the dairy cows. So in
the chicken feeds, you know, we're making a big run
of chicken. Tomorrow we'll do about eighty ton of chicken feed,
(01:55):
which is really only enough about ten days nowadays, so yeah,
it's going pretty good.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Check and feed. We've talked about that before, but you
say it only lasts for a number of days now
doing the amount of talents, so people obviously like raising
their own chuck.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Still, we supplied quite a few reasonably large free range farms.
I'm when I say reasonably large, I'm saying you know
the Pringles obviously up the road have got about five
six thousand chucks running around the dairy farm. And if
you have got your thousand or three or four hundred,
so those chucks, I mean, I think the chucks only
eat about thirty grams per day off the top of
(02:30):
my head. That could be wrong, but they soon go
through a bit of feed, so we've just got to
keep churning it out. We don't keep it for long
so it's made reasonably fresh. So when we do a
run at chicken, we've got to change the die and
we normally do sort of eighty hundred ton at a time.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, that brings us on to our next question. We'll
get this over sooner or later. The stocking rate for
snails based on you you do production for anything and everything.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, and Natalie's dealing with working quite placely with their snailmen,
but we still don't have a stocking run out of them,
so I can't answer that question yet.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Right, that's your homework for the next month. I need
some answers.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, I'll put the pressure on a sheet the gazers
with them one on one, So I need to talk
to Netaly about that one Okay, now we.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Had you in Natalie and studio actually just before the
Southern Field Days last month. How did the event go
from your perspective, because certainly a lot of people around
and a lot of connections made.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, well, we actually had a pretty positive feedback at
Great Field Days. Well we had. Most times we catch
up with our existing customers and talk to the odd
new one, but this time around things were really positive
and we picked up some quite a few new contacts.
I'm still talking to people about different things, Deiry, Chicken,
you name it. So no very good field.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Days now when you're speaking to cockies at the moment,
I ask you this question always around this time of year, Darrel,
But I think it's feared to say that everybody's got
to be reasonably happy with the way the seasons progressed,
and the majority of the province, well.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's funny to say that. I mean, of my prospective
has been an awful growing seas and some guys said
they've grown a lot of grass. Another guy said they've
had an awful season, but most people have had really
good production. So that's at the end of the day
what really matters. And the payouts still reasonably strong. So
production has been pretty good. Most guys have had a
really good production year, but hopefully very variable when it
(04:17):
comes to grass grow.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, certainly certain parts of the province are still struggling
for rainfall, which seems crazy, but the main other parts
are just flush of tacker. Like you say, okay, from
the perspective of a sheep farmer, not far away from
getting the boys out of there. Cecils should be jogging
around the pedict getting ready. But yeah, just something to
give them a bit of a boost for the girls
a hit of the busy season.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah. Well, the way there works good money at the moment,
so we've had a lot more inquiry than I anticipated
for the unuts, which is for multiple bearing use to
give them a boost, a bit of selenium, bit of
iodine and so on for tapping. So they're proving really
popular at the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, So numbers production wise, it's not an issue. If
people want to get shaped nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh, there's no issue at the moment. We're sort of
reasonedly flushed with stock and we'll be making more over
the next few days. So they're really always good to
give us a call and put some aside. If you're
thinking you might need some, so.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You flush with stock ahead of the flash. That's all
we need to know. That's great terminology.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I had that sort of no problem.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Now this's Mauritius ordered. Why Mauritius, good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Question, and he'd done a bit of research around the world.
But it really comes down to the Chap's got a
brother living in New Zealand and so he looked through
all the mills in New Zealand online and we've got
a product, velvet Bus, which is pretty popular line for
US for velvet production, and so he's ordered initial order
to He's got a trophy stag farm in Mauritius, and
(05:47):
people come from all over the world apparently to shoot
trophy staggs. So we've seen them a ton of velvet nuts. Yeah,
they have quite a rigmarole, and they want to know
everything about us and all the short quality feed safe
dart sort of sent all that, so they're pretty happy.
It looks like he'll end up buying quite a few
more nuts from us.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Well, let's be honest, we want to know more about
them than they want to know about us. I suppose,
because seeding a product to Mauritia certainly is a good
tale well, it's not a tale's fact.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I never anticipated that. But I'm trying to convince my
staff members that I need to pop over just to
follow this through, but I'm not sure when that will happen.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
He gets to go on that junket. Do you nominate
one of the staff members to go over there and
put on a face for the company.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, I think it'll be me. Anyone going to Mauritiau's
around here, it will be me Andy.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, it's cool. It's called the food chain. Only I
know that too well, Jamie, if you're listening, Dave Rindy
all X coach, are you a fan?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Absolutely? Yes, I rate him. You only get a look
what he's done with y Kedow. We walked in there
with a pretty average side and they won the competition
two years in a row. The Chiefs, I should say. No,
I rate him my thing. He's a cop guy, so
I'm looking forward to who he gets around and I'm
sure he positive.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Is there plenty of time in the set or you
won the back to back? I think with the Chiefs
in twenty twelve and certainly the man for the job.
And thank for Jamie Joseph. He needed Tony Brown and
his ticket. I'd say, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Think it'll still happen. I mean, Jamie still right up there.
I rate him as well, but you know, let's get
behind Dave. I think he's got all the skills and
everyone you talk to rate him as far as coaches
that have worked with them or players that have played
under him. So I got no problem with him being
coached at all.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I think it'd be great, okay, Daryl. Sergeant Dan Stock
Food's the best way for people to get in touch.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Just eight hundred Sergeant Dan, which is eight hundred and
seven four eight three two six.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And of course you have the standout building on the
Gore CBD skyline.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Absolutely, that's us good.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Only Darrell always got to catch up.

Thanks and he cheers.
