Speaker 1 (00:02):
The muster on the farm with Southland District Council working
together for a Beta Southland.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're away to Gladden this afternoon on the must Dean Rabbage.
She can beef farmer over that way, Dean. Good afternoon,
it's been a nifty morning. Held ground conditions.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, good afternoon, Andy, ground conditions are pretty good. But yeah,
certainly I could warm up a little bit today. They
sort of tried to frost over this morning and then
cloud it over, so things are a bit fresh and
extra pair of socks on to keep the cos warm today,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The lack of frost is still intriguing at the moment,
although they will happen.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh yeah, that's good though, wasn't it Like the recovery
from the parts behind the ewes and and so forth
as is quite promising. What it's still a bit of
regrawth coming away and that's so yeah. We'll just take
every day as it comes at the moment. And I'd
rather have it cold and cold than cold and wet,
so yeah, certainly starting to get into that winter mode
(01:02):
and trying to conserve feed and save a few days
here and there. So yeah, it's just impassable.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Summer year really, so everything's gone to the works it
needs to. Now you're ready for winter.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Look, in the next ten days we'll get everything. All
the lambs will be gone, and there's a few straggling
kettle going away this week as well, so yeah, in
the next ten days we'll be down to a core
cavital sock numbers for the winter. We're just looking at
trying to get calves onto fodder beat the next couple
of days. They're just being trained on the hot wire
(01:33):
out and the peddic first, but it's always an entertaining process.
And then yeah, well we don't put any any use
or hobbits on crop until after scanning, so yeah, they're
still in a couple months on grass, so yes, it's
reasonably easy going at the moment, so but no doubt
that'll change.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So your hoggests don't go on to crop till after
scanning as well.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No I'm saying that, sorry, The unmarked hoggitts will go
on to crop just after they get sure and we'll
share them again in three or four weeks time, and
then the hoggits that haven't been marked by the ram
we'll go in to crop and everything else will stay
off until the skin as well, and then the dry
hogits will all join up and soil and crop for
(02:18):
as long as we can keep them near. Really prioritize
feed the lamb once.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, yeah, I was just about to say, because those
unmarked hoggits, you don't treat them any differently after this
season based but they didn't get into land.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
No. Look, we take a shotgun approach that everything goes
to the ram. I don't go weighing off the top
two thirds or three quarters or anything. There's no target
liebait for us. We're just being the ram ount of everything.
So yeah, they get land, they do, and if they don't,
well there's always next year. So now there's no real
different treatment going on.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I remember speaking to you a couple of months ago, Dino,
and you were talking about your wall all going away
getting sold up, the price that increase, but increase, But
all of a sudden we look at the situation. Now
we're looking at crossbred being in the mid six dollar
range for clean. It's good to see for the for
the wool industry. But I suppose it's the case of
setting on your walls sometimes is like a game of roulette.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, It's really positive, isn't it. And it's quite refreshing.
As Woll's always been the rock under the beach chail
for the last ten years, really hasn't nothing no longer.
So to see it coming back up in more than
covering costs and start to effect it back into the
budget as a significant contributor to in your income, it's
it's quite exciting. So I'm long mate last, but yeah, look,
(03:38):
it's just really refreshing and great to see, and I
think there's gonna be a lot of people benefit from
it and year. It's good reward for people who have
chipped away maintaining a high quality fleece and a high
quality product over the years when there's been a few
alternatives out there to move away from it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Really somebody quoted me the other day that wool can
us a one point five percent of their profit, but
sharing is nine percent of costs as well, so that's
quite a bit to entail.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, it is. And I suppose you need to look
at what sort of sharing consistency, whether it are six
months or twelve months sharing as well, so that'll have
an influence on that sort of data. But yeah, I
know that our last financial year, the will income had
increased by seventy five percent and the costs had made
in sharing costs had stayed statics. So it's quite quite
(04:31):
good and we'll just keep an eye on things moving
forward for the next twelve months too. But yeah, certainly pleasing.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Wynd and rugby as well. You've had a big month there.
You guys are flying along and did one as well.
You've seen the reserve side was senior. See whatever you
call it these days, I think it's fair to say
your one club in South and that has certainly stood
out over the past couple of seasons and it just continues.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, we're talking of for you about any and there's
no denying that the Wind was having a really good
run at the moment and that's a real golden patch
for us, and we appreciate that. We're pretty fortunate with
the support that we've got from the community and their
great sponsors and obviously a pretty large playing pool at
(05:16):
the moment. Obviously being a jubilee year, it's probably attracted
a couple in and made another few hang on for
another season too. So now the challenge for us is
obviously in the next few seasons, is to be able
to maintain the player numbers and support while we don't
have a big celebration and the calendar. So yeah, but
(05:37):
we're just pretty pretty grateful what's going on at the
club at the moment. And it's really cool to be
sort of the focus and we have with the community.
It gives people an excuse to come out of the
out of the hills and now the woodwork on a
Saturday afternoon to come down and socialize and get off
farm and yeah, have you a few. So it's it's
(05:58):
really really good to see full clubrooms and in a
busy Solon and I said, I did bear.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It thanks to know. I appreciate you. Tom. Excuse Andy
Deane Rebbage based Glenham. You're listening to the Master Rap next.
