Speaker 1 (00:03):
We're God, I can't walk. Good afternoon, and welcome to
the muster on Hakanui, brought to you by Peterston. Next,
my name's Andy Nwack here until two o'clock this afternoon.
Thanks for your company as a lookout over Main Street
and onto the hills. And well, it's balme for winter
(00:23):
at the start of winter. I mean, we talk about
it a lot at the moment, but you can't ignore it.
The temperature outside of Main Street and Gore is twelve degrees.
We'll look at the weather shortly, but over the next
week it's scarily unwinter esque. Phil don't have a weather watch.
Coincidentally on the muster tomorrow with a proper rundown on
the weather for the next seven days in the South
(00:45):
without further ado though Elvis Presley, the King is the dunes.
You probably gets that one now. Hakanui's five day forecast
with twin farm teff from and subtext the proof is
in the progeny tear from co dot inz. So this
afternoon shellers like northeasterlies and fourteen Friday partly cloudy have
(01:07):
come variable wins six and fifteen Saturday afternoon showers of
breezy westerlies five and ten. Sunday showers of breezy westerlies
yet again eight and ten, and on Monday, these temperatures continue,
although a bit of rain is forecast for breezy westerlies
seven and twelve sew temperatures Clinton eight point three, Harriet
(01:28):
eight point six, Northern South and eight point seven, tier
Now ten point five, Riverton nine point five, Titora at ten,
Woodlands eight point one, and Winton nine point one, Peter
Gardin farms and Netdale and starts us off this afternoon. Now,
these were post terraffs that the US government wants to
(01:49):
put on countries like New Zealand. It's gone going in
at twelve point five percent, that's the talk anyway, because
we're using countries that are using enforced labors. So Pete's like,
what does this mean that the most regarding the whole
situation with the US, And yeah, just I don't know.
One day you can see New Zealand being stuck between
a rock and a hard place between China and the US.
(02:09):
If this continues. Olivia weatherburn the beef for their New
Zealand we have a yarn, as does Hillary Copeland of
Bannerman Crockshank Pride to the lawyers talking prenuptial agreements. Warren
Ross at way Mumu is the rallying season. He's our
fishing guru as well as a rallying guru. When he
(02:31):
was up in Canterbury last weekend. And while tells is
how the rallying season's going, is it cramps into full
swing and Logan Savry out of the Southern Tribune. Jacob Duffy,
his star just seems to rise in the cracketing stocks,
amongst other things. David Morrison a PGG Wrightson has a
yarn regarding to Charlton soil and yeah, those prices are
(02:53):
just getting better and better for lands. Put it that way.
Time to start the hour and now we catch up
Peter guard I and this is a muster two o
clock thanks to Petersontics. Seven after one.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
This interview is brought to you by Agricenter South Branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton and Ranfurly.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Drop by your local Agricenter South Branch today.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Haya Guarda and Farms at Napdale Sheep beef farmer arable
in his operation as well. Pete Good afternoon. It's a
mild Thursday for June.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Jess at cracking good June, and it has been a
great May. And I think one of your correspondents may
have predicted that quite possibly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I'm trying to think now we likes a Duley irregular
or someone.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I don't know who it was, but I think they
said that the saw was nice and dry, so we're
probably going to have a good May so grass growth.
So I think it was Yeah, if we can have
every mad like this, I'd order.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That up straight away, absolutely so, soil ground conditions out
of your way.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
How's it been then, Oh, it's great underfoot. We've got
the dairy cowes turning up. We just went to a
handful of dairy cows for a farm that's two farms
away and they're walking in and they're just walking straight
onto the brakes and it's just amazing. A so long
long mate, continue and I think that's something that will
offend Dean Ravage but south and they'll get you down,
(04:18):
but it won't let you down. We had a really
dry summer autumn here at Napdale, but we're reefing the
benefits of it now and it is that balancing out
of You know, the sail was dry, so we've kicked
into windows quite nicely. So yeah, thanks are pretty happy
out on the farm.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, I'm waiting for a message from Glenham pretty much
as we're speaking at the moment. So how does the
change of thinking as to what we've had recently or
does it? You just got to stay in then frame
of the time of year.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I think it's around for us. Cam a stock manager
of myself, at the end of the day yesterday we
did a bit of a window feed budget just for
crops and how many sheep each cropple first, and how
many cattle each cropple fers and that sort of thing.
And you know, we came back with that and our
pasture covers were actually sitting pretty good. So we take
a bit of lambs into this time of year and
(05:08):
take them up to good weights.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So we'll just.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Keep ticking them over and instead of panicking and killing
them at Laha Waits, we'll just keep hanging on and
keeping our weights up. And then same on the kettle front.
Things are looking positive. We've got the grassy males. We'll
just squeeze those two more dollars out of the season.
And we can do that without threatning next season, which
is obviously the bill or and indoors don't don't stuff
(05:31):
next season.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, now we catch you on the spray today. Are
you saying slug could be slugs might be a problem.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, So we've got one of the guys out putting
a bit more slug made out, especially down at the
sort of mcname cookerle into things where the slugs cycled.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
A bit more.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They weren't they weren't as dry in the summer. And
then what I'm doing is tiding up some weeds and
a grass seed crop because they're nice and small and
easy to get at the stage. And then some beans
that have regrown into a wheat paddock and a little
bit of greasy cut where them in that predict two,
which we're going to tidy up because we don't need
any little too many things eating crops for trying to grow,
(06:07):
especially when they're young, and just establishing. No, it's good,
it's positive.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
We've done the budget for next year. It's looking good.
I mean, incomes are looking strong, but costs are also
looking strong too, So we're just going to keep on
top of that. One of the things we are doing
to keep on top of that is we are going
to all predictiss to the farm at home again this year,
and we're playing around with some soil probes to an
instant read on that front, and I've gone through a
(06:32):
calibration process, so that's looking pretty pretty exciting. And we'll
also be leaning into the cameras we've got on air
tractor which measure the notrogen content of their crops, and
then that controls the UREA spreader, so we're really optimizing
what it needs and saving what doesn't need to go on,
which is great for the bank balance, but also it's
great for the environment.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's incredible you talk like that because not that many
years ago, cruising around to the four to five thousand
with a two and a half time bulky on the
back and just going by your Marx and the peddock
by the eye appraisal. It shows you how times change.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Oh definitely. And to be fair, when you're rare, was
not that long ago you're there was five hundred bucks
a ton.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
To be fair, if you're.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
If you're a bit worried about whether it needed or
five hundred bucks a ton, you just put it on.
So the higher prices of your rear especially and all
the other nutrients made me need to be smarter.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So fuel prices was seeing it come back down. I
think I poked peaked of four dollars here in Gore
the same station currently, off the top of my head,
around three dollars seventeen sore as I been discounting here.
You go to the pump, it just eases the pain
on the wall to web it.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, you know, we're we're with a fuel company that
have served us well for a long period of time
and you know, with no plans on changing that, and
I've looked after us right through this period. But yeah,
we've definitely rode the roller coaster, shall we say. April
tul Bill was pretty alchy with the amount that we
used and the price that it was. It was up
(07:59):
to I think we've rolled up about two dollars and
then come back about a dollar. So we're a dollar
off the peak roughly at the moment, but we're also
a dollar above where we started, and so that is
what it is. Hopefully the world can sort itself out
at one stage, because yeah, what they do over there
doesn't put us down here. And it's interesting I don't
(08:22):
want to age myself too badly here, Andy, But when
I was working my first job on a farm, I
made seven dollars an hour, and I was petrol was
a dollar thirty five a liter to put in a
week car. And then I went to Lincoln the next
year and it broke two dollars a liter, And of
course I wasn't earning very much at Lincoln, so that
hurt pretty hard. So I'd argue that the income versus
(08:45):
petrol price back in those old days was actually, you know,
that was two thousand and six, it went two dollars
a liter. That's actually worse than it is right now.
When you take wages versus fuel, well.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Back in the late at nineties, for goodness sake, about
eighty seventy a leader.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yeah. Well, I'm not quite as old as you, Andy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's for sure. But it just shows you how it's
all just relative to what it was back then, and
we're just seeing it. We've talked about fertilizer, we've talked
about diesel. But the other concerning thing, I suppose, Pete,
is the US wanting to implement perhaps a twelve percent
twelve and a half percent tariff on countries that they're
saying are using these countries that enforce slave labor. So
(09:28):
whether this comes on, that's another factor. But it's just
I don't know, America trying to find excuses to make money.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, I kind of see as being in a bit
of a bit of a sticky situation as a country.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They've got a lot of debts.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
The dollar has been the world reserve country, you know,
you reserve currency for a long time, and they have
been the world's superpower, and I think potentially they're coming
to the end of that. And I think, yeah, they're
but like you know, shuder duck and they do a
lot of flapping on the way down, and you know, yeah,
I think he's making a lot of noise and he's
running around and shouting, and hard to know with Trump
(10:07):
what will happen and what won't happen. So I'm not
losing too much sleep on at the moment. And I
think the meat needs, you know, for all the shortcomings.
I think they of react to relevents and respining markets
that they supply into, and I think I think they'll
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Greg ericson my Canadian correspondence is exactly the same thing. Pete,
the fact that all these streats came through from the US,
but after about a week they just kind of shrugged
it off, saying he's not going to do that.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, and I think I think that seems to be
Trump's sort of tactic, and I think it's actually served
them pretty well for a period of time. But I
think now everybody's starting to realize that's just how he operates,
and they're probably not as streets as they used to
be about it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, interesting times. Hey, get on your Pete will let
you carry on this afternoon. Don't forget the sundown lation.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, it's great when the weather's like this. Long Matt continue.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Peat card I and based out at Napdale. This is
the Muster and Hakanui. Olivia Weatherburn joins us next from
Beef for lad New Zealand. The Muster Events Diary brought
to you by Beef and Lamb New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Click Beef lambendz dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Olivia Weatherburn joins me in studio, bopping away to a
bit of Elvis. He you thank good? How are you
can't complain? Pretty mild?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
I know it's scary, really I want winter and winter,
but it will come.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It will come, don't worry. It's a matter of when,
not of especially being in the South with Beef and
Lamb goes for the gunner At the moment.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
So much happening. I know that the teamer and tent
at the moment doing the region delivery plan for next
year and what's going to happen, And across the country
there's lots happenings. Just had that big out the gate conference.
There's field days next week. It's hard to believe that's
come around because it's not down here. We sort of, yeah,
keep to it on knitting and doing what we're doing.
But yeah, heap's happening.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So what's happening with the crow in town today exactly
what's going to hapen.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
So every year the farmer councils around the country get
together and they are your selling Every farmer council is
a sounding board for the other farmers and all the
levy payers within the region and so they come together
yearly to help the extension team and the staff of
Beef and Lamb to create what the activity and investment
plan for the next twelve months is going to be.
(12:27):
So today they'll be discussing what they're hearing, they'll have
gone out and talked to other farmers hopefully and they
will be bringing all that in together to go or
what are we going to deliver? So it'll be deciding
whether there's going to be more like those shepherds to
sheerholder events or are they going to be focusing environment
or are people or what is the focus for those
next twelve months to be able to help farmers make
(12:48):
those informed on farm decisions.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
How's Bally going? Just off the top the AI?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Yeah, but it's going good. So the unique thing about
Bella and AI because everyone's getting into the whole thing
and it's actually quite scary. You're seeing a lot of
AI out there and it's starting to all look the
same and some when it comes to posters. But with Bella,
she can only get information off the Beef and Land website.
So she's been trained. Aaron Meekl has had to train
(13:15):
Bella like a dog, a good dog, and sometimes she
doesn't listen, but she only takes information off the website.
And so when I've just re fresh the employment hub
and so now you can put questions in around creating
job descriptions or having good teen culture and your team
and creating a staff meetings and those kind of things.
(13:37):
She could take the information that's on there and then
user and from what we're hearing, it's a little bit
slower than some AI tools, but that's because she's going
and looking in a bit more detail rather than going
on the World Wide Web and just pulling whatever. But
from what we're hearing, we've had some students trialing it
and that it's been really valuable for their studies to
(13:59):
get the answers, and hopefully people are using it to
be able to actually get the facts and the truth
rather than what they think is right.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Have you heard a farmer is using it very often?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
I haven't heard of farmers specifically at the moment, but
I'm sure there is some out there. Yeah, not so
farmer facing for me now, but for those that I
have heard. So they did interview a few out the
game and that last week just little things like when
there were doing some wintering plans, so everyone's been some
of those farmers been sitting down doing their wintering plans
(14:31):
this year. They've been able to put some scenarios of
questions in there and it's brought up the stuff from
the wintering faction.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What's your job titles these days?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
National Extension Program Manager. So I do a bit for everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's a good way to sub Actually I'm going to
ask one of them tails, but you wrapped it up
at about six words.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Then yeah, So I do bet for everybody. Forty percent
of my time is extension sixty percent and people in capability,
So the people in capability part of the business that's
not the HR and think within beef and lamb. That's
helping support farmers in the people in capability space, so schools, employment,
tertiary education, on farm championing, scholarships, those kind of pieces.
(15:13):
And then one part of that is the Generation Next
program as well.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So what's coming up and the not too distant future.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
At the moment, the focus is Generation Next, so believe
it or not. Ten years ago I put in great
inducted I suppose is the word. The first twenty Generation
Next participants here in Gore around this week actually about
ten years ago, and last week I helped to the
(15:41):
last twenty for this year in Southern South Island was
last Monday. So we have been running the program for
ten years and we're about to have a ten year
celebration on the second of July when hopeful to bring
it together our alumni and people have been involved in
the program to be able to celebrate where we've gone
on and what we've achieved, and just you really look
(16:03):
at what does that next ten years look like as well?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And it remains popular, that's the thing it is.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah, so we still have on average around ninety We've
got ninety three applicants this year participants at the moment,
so we'll graduate this year. So by the end of
this year, we'll have around six hundred and forty graduates
of the program over the ten years. And if you
think about that, looking at we only were for the
(16:29):
first four years of the program, we were only in
Southland and it was always limited to twenty people. Then
we went to CSI or the Central Area and the
South Island and then it wasn't till about the fourth
or fifth year that the North Island joined us. And
it's only been in the last three years that we've
had the whole country.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So who startled Whose brain child was it?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That was me?
Speaker 5 (16:51):
It was you.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Yeah, so well there you go. When you when I
went from my role at Beef and Lamb twelve years
ago you had to do a presentation on an idea
and this was actually my presentation. It was more about
your presentation skills and how you could articulate, I think,
to if you'd be any good for the job, and
that they all debate later. But as part of that
(17:14):
I then sat there aside, and then a year later
I bought it up at Farmer Council when to keep
coming up with, oh, we need people who have got
a bit more confidence and skills of finance and technology
and building great teams and understanding actually the processes that
happened at the meat works and that, and I was like,
well I've got this idea, and so thank you to
the Southern South Island Farmer Council and those that were
(17:37):
a part of it then and like Graham Evans and
that were still were a part of it back then
as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll give him some credit
that they gave me the but yet go have a
go and so we had to go and a few
years of getting it right and yeah, I think we've
just about got there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Oh you gotta be pretty proud of that.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Yeah, it would be my Pridu's achievement of Beef and Lamb.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yes, so everything's taking you bow in other words, just
takes over with the organizatization.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Yes, yeah, I think so. Yeah, there's lots happening, lots
of change. We Yeah, obviously Allen has got his feet
well and truly under the table now, so he's starting
to make some moves in regards to where we need
to go. We are looking at a referendum coming up
as well, so it's like, yeah, what's the future looking
(18:24):
like as well? There's always lots of different things popping
up everywhere. But we've got a really great team and
some great talent throughout Beef and Lamb. So it's awesome
to be able to work with all that talented people,
especially across the research team and that and with all
those cool research projects. There's a PhD student just started
in regards to the Bobby Cauff program, and yeah, that
real opportunity. We have to work with the dairy industry.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So what's the referendum about?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
So the referendum every six years, as we are a
commodity levy, we need to go out to farmers to
be able to get their confidence that they want to
be having a livey spent for with Beef and Lamb
to be able to continue the activity we do.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Then, are you going on love?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Leave it?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There? Sounds good? Thanks Andy, You're watching these buttons and
I'm pushing trying. Good work. Olivia Weatherburn of beef Lair,

up next from Batnaman Crokshank, Pride the Lawyers. One through
(19:35):
a party in the count Welcome back to the Muster.
Hillary Copeland of Bannaman Crokshank, Pride the Lawyers joins us.
Next Alvis Prisley in the background. There, Hillary, good afternoon,
great to check once again.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Are you Andy really good?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Alvis Presley. It's a sound from a long time ago,
but that's what I like about a lot of these artists, timeless.
It's a sound, it's a saying which has overused, but
I think it's pretty relevant. Ey.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Yes, I was just going to say that it's a
bit of a blast from the past.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Pre nups relationship property. We've talked about this again, but
it's something we need to go over because is a
hell of a lot involved.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yes, and I guess I something it always crosses my desk,
and to be brutally asked, they're becoming harder and harder
to deal with because we get a blended family significant
essex and so that's already been that's something that we're
(20:38):
grappling with as lawyers to get the structure right. And
then there's been a recent Court of appeel case that's
sort of moved the goalpost a little bit as well,
So I thought it might be timely to just do
a we refresher.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay around this court case.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
What happened, well, I'm probably I'm not going to get
too much into the detail, I guess because people like
it's quite technical, but there was a Court of a
Peel case and it has indicated that there might be
a move in terms of how we deal with relationship property,
and I guess, big picture, practically, it's sort of confirmed.
(21:17):
What I've been saying to people for a while is
back in the old days, you'd have well we call
it a contracting out agreement, but you know, prenup is
what everyone knows them as, and people would do their
prenup and they would protect certain as sets as their
own and back in the old days you'd do it
(21:37):
and it wouldn't really revisit it now because of the
significant amount of their sets, the change, the moving goalposts
with the law more and more we're saying to people
and the bended family aspects brings a different dynamic as well,
saying to thee well that you need these can't be
(21:58):
bottom draw documents. They need to be reviewed regularly and
updated if you want them to to stand the test
of time. And in a very very simple terms, without
getting into all the dtail, the Court of Appeal decision
sort of has confirmed that that you can't just do
your pren up, do your will and forget about it.
(22:20):
They need to be reviewed and updated regularly and that
yet now that's I feel like a bit of a
broken record, But I'm telling people that all the time.
To be honest, it makes my job harder because they're
actually quite difficult. They're getting more and more complicated. But
that's where we add, you know, that's where we come
in and give service to our clients to help them
(22:42):
get it right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You talk about this need they need to update things frequently.
What time frame were we talking, Hilary.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I guess we would say, I guess the thing is,
I always say to people with your will, you should
update at any big event in your life if someone
you can hear it. You know, if you buy more
property and heer it more property, any big event, you
need to at least review your will and as a
minimum every five years. And now I say that to
people with a contracting out agreement or a prenup as well,
(23:12):
because in that time, you know, life moves on. People
might sell a house by a different house, or buy
an investment property that change how they own things. And
again there's technical terms there that people might own it
as tenants and common and equal shares which means they
own their share in their sole name, or they own
(23:34):
it jointly, and that has different ramifications. And sometimes when
people buy more property or you know, they carry on
with life in general, they tend to forget about the
pre nupp altogether and that can cause unintended consequences down
the track. So yeah, I guess it just comes down
(23:56):
to getting again. I say this every time we talk,
and is getting good advice and timely advice so that
we can do our best to help you achieve what
you want to achieve.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
So just how lockdown are these agreements? Okay, an agreement
can be classified as a contract, and unfortunately contracts are broken.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Well, I guess that's where this recent case has got
lawyers a little bit. I'm not sure that concerns the
right word, but reascessing things. Well, look, I know I
have clients where they've got really old historic contracting out
(24:37):
agreements and they could be twenty years old, and basically
this case is saying that can still be relevant twenty
years old. It is going to appeal, so it'll be
interesting what happens. But basically, yeah, the court basically said
two key things in that case, and it's seed there
(24:58):
that the pre napp or the com treating out agreement
is the thing that's the document that decides what ends
up in the estate, not someone's will or stand the
property rules, and that the prenup will be enforced when
someone dies unless it's successfully challenged. So I guess from
(25:21):
a practical point of view, my advices, we need to
review those regularly. If you've got one, renew it when
you review your will, and they should align so that
there is no as I say, no unintended consequences at
the end, and things property doesn't pass how you wanted
it to.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Hillary out of ten, how many relationships relationships would you
say have pre nups in place?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
That becoming more and more common. And part of that is,
I guess every profession or every industry or whatever it is,
we're all getting a lot more regular related and dotting
eyes and crossing keys and where everyone's getting more particular
about their paperwork in general. And I say that high level,
but you know, you think about fun as everyone everyone,
(26:10):
every profession has different compliance and rules and regulations, and
not that this is a must have, but it's in
a similar vein people are more conscious and aware of
what they can have in place to help structure things.
So more common because we're more aware, and also more
(26:30):
common because there are second time round relationships and that's
probably the most common. Well too, yeah, that's probably the
one of the most common. Is second time round people
come together and have assets and children from a previous relationship,
so they want to protect that. Or the other end
of the spectrum, I get young clients starting out and
(26:53):
buying their first home and it's like, right, let's protect this,
and you know, because it's a big asset to buy,
let's get it structured right.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So you're pretty common.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
But as I see at the start, they're getting harder
and harder to complete just because things. Yeah, it's getting
more complicated when you're dealing with significant assets, and as
these children from a previous relationship in those kind of factors,
that can complicate things as well.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, wise, whereas Hillary the tame A Bannamin Crookshank Pride.
Better people get in touch.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Check us out on our website, CP law dot co
dot mved or in our new building and we're hopefully
getting signage. It's been a long time coming next week apparently,
so hopefully were opposite New World and Gore.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, you can see the flags out front anyway when
you're driving past.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Yeah, I'm getting sick of a slag. I'm I'm hoping
for our signage. So watch this space.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Good things come to those you wait. Always appreciate your time, Hillary,
enjoy the day.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Awesome, Thanks there, Hillary.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Copeland, Abanamin Crookshank Pride, the lawyers and pre nup agreements
certainly relevant for a lot of people at the moment.
Warren Ross is up next for my momour and to
wrap up the aller log and Savory out of the
South and Tribune right, they're gonna sid Marstall Marstall a fire.
(28:23):
Welcome back to the Musta. Now the two tar Pre

Repco Contracting Warren Ross. The song is Viva Las Vegas.
We're going to Viva way Moomoo, get a while. Hell's everything.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Yeah afternoon and yeah not too bad.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Thanks, you're pretty spoiled at the moment. Let's be honest.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Oh no, absolutely, yeah, this morning is very very mild
and yeah just talking off here and in the tempertus
for the week or actually give reasonbly warm at so
it's really good for the time.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The I'm seeing nothing over the next even seven to
ten days that indicates anything's going to change. It's not
to say it will. And it's a very fickable game
when you're talking about the weather. But same old story.
You can only play what's in front of you. And
it's looking pretty deafer. I mean, no overnight lows below
two degrees over the next seven days.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
You knows, it's it's good a sleep, but it would
be nice to get winter. And winter's absolutely yeah. Hopefully
it's not something means something from the spring a so yeah,
but any we'll take what we'll take. What it lives
at the moment.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, you can just live for the moment. But I
suppose the grass is still taking away, just quietly when
it's like this, So.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Yeah, the pdics that we got true out with it
earlier on in there taken away slowly. So just just
looking at the lawns, and you know, it would be
good chance to give. We never hitt cut probably, so
you know, things are just taken over quite nastly.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I've never heard so many lawn mowers going for June
over the past couple of days. It's unbelievable. But I
was talking about this the other day, the silence it's
being made only about ten days ago as well, it's
you could almost say unprecedented, which is an overstated word,
but far out we're into winter.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, So it's a saying that mother nature
always provides on it. So it might have been a
morself of them particularly, and it might have been we
were sort of feed winter crop wise, feed bine war
was but with a nice mold late autumn we had it. Yeah,
that's sort of caught up again.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, we know what they say, mother nature give us,
mother nature take us away, But we're certainly enjoying what
we have at the moment. I mean, for you there,
you'll be into winter mode now pretty much.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
You know, one of the sent days, everything's on crap
and paired so we're just have just been bailers out
and whatever. So it's just you're just quite cruisy at
the moment.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Everything's on top of the ground doing your transitioning onto
crops and that you couldn't ask for anything better.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Now, it's yeah, it's definitely a great start to the
it's great shot to one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You're in hell now you're a bit of a rally buff.
We know this, and you were talking about being up
in Canterbury at the weekend. This is one of your passions.
I suppose, isn't it. You've just got on board this
over the last year or two.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Yeah, I just got on board with that the last
last monter last season. So yeah, no, it's quite draw
worstually getting out out and get on some roads that
you haven't seen before. And yeah, no it's good. You
have a good look around at tom Day. So no,
it's a good call to be evolving.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Now the people who are unaware of the team that
you're involved with, let's give us some details.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
So yeah, sort of I'm just being being the boy really,
so I'm getting told what to do, refuel in the car,
clean the windows, pull tires off, what's they carry on?
So we've got we've got two cars that we are
service force. I think the service crew of normally around
five maybe something that or two cars that's actually pretty
(32:10):
good going. Yeah, so it's just one car. Caleb McDonald
he was car number seven this last weekend, and then
Kevin Leared he was car twenty two, so about fifteen
minutes apart something that. So it just gives us a
bit we breather in between that not much.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
This might sound like a rookie question, but when you're
already fueling a really car? Is it a Jerry Can?
What do you do?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Yeah, yeah, so we just use just jery canswer. Sometimes
there might only be ten leaders and sometimes twenty or
just depends on how far they're going to go between
each each stage or how long the full stoppers. It
just varies very we it so yeah, no, it's yeah,
it's quite good fun.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
What are they run on? Ninety five?
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Different different mixtures? Caleble, he's got a new new car
this year since he rolled at Long last year, and
so his new engineers is one hundred one hundred octane
I think, and I think even Leary he's just running
on ninety five. So it does depends on how the
engine'es tuned and tuned for what just depends.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Really insurance on a Raally car, it's you're insured for
some things but not others. Just elaborate on this. It's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
So actually so the cars founding a where the cars
aren't insured for when they're actually racing. So that's all
on the favorite crass on on on the stage. That's
on the on the owner to prepare it if there's
an accident that happens on the road. Just talk between stages,
touring or going from the house to workshop something that
it's all in short for that purpose, but just not
(33:44):
for racing purposes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You have you taped it on the open road though,
just to give it a bit of jandle, wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, yeah, Well when they are retually touring between stages
there city on what they call it, but there they
rest control can see if they've been speeding, so they've
actually got to stick to speed limits and obeyed by
all the road rules as are touring. So and if
they if they get caught, not by the police, but
if they get caught by the rest control they are
(34:12):
they can get penalized.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You're at fishing, you hear this warmer weather? You teended
to go back into the.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Sounds, absolutely, but unfortunately a trailer is coming up. I
think it should be up now. Actually for gets repaired
under it, so I can't get in there for the
next little bit. So what I have to get the
other way and go into the straight wall. That's what's
a warm and com But I haven't been out for
quite a while. It's Lisa, it's probably very good, very
(34:38):
close to doing.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Something, so I'm sure you've earned it? Well, yeah, absolutely,
But what about the great white? So it's in the
paper the other day the amount of great whites and
five oh straight Jesus and behemoth animals. They're like talking
five meters.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah I heard heard that the other day. Seriously, So
I've been lucky enough. I haven't if you come across
any as of yet. But uh, that's certainly there and
they've always been there.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
But as a fisherman, though, do you not think it
would be always like a ride of passage to see
a shark go cruising underneath the boat if you're not
getting in the water.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, they're definitely around when you're out fishing there, but
they come around the boat when you're fishing in the
water to carry on, so that when I'm diving, I
just don't worry about it. I just put the head
of the back of my mind and forget about it
and hopefully I don't have a passing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
That's why I said, when you're out of the water,
not in the water.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Too easy. We'll always appreciate your time when the muster
enjoy there, want to sleep. Warren Russ based at waymum
Our Fishing Rally and correspondent amongst other things as well,
always appreciate world's time. And Severy of the Southern Tribune
wraps up next. Jacob Duffy just adds to his CV
(35:53):
ve keep your bottle in Las Vegas with you we
can go. This is the muster, like and Sevry, he
writes The Southern Tribua and doing a tremendous job as well,
and we catch up sav good afternoon, straight off the
top Jacob Duffy an IPL champion with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
(36:17):
The script just gets better for the guy.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Yeah, what a twelve months or so for him, isn't it.
It's been remarkable really. You just think about all those
years turning away for the vaults in front of a
handful of people at University, overall Queen's Park, when he's
down here and just going about a business, and probably
a lot wondered whether he was going to spend too
(36:40):
much time in international arena. God has got a shot
with the Black Caps, took it, ended up at Sir
Richard Hadley Medal for the New Zealand Cricketer of the Year.
Then he heads over to India stars in an IPL
debut and now was an Indian Premier League champion, which, yeah,
(37:01):
so a remarkable twelve months or so for a boy
from from South On.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Now he's having a break, he's not joining the black Caps.
He get underway any Test series of England at Lord's tonight.
But the truth is we could have done with Duffers
over there.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, I think this would have been I really think,
you know, he's done a lot in the last twelve
months or so, but this would have probably a series
he could have really shined those conditions with the Duke Bowl,
probably would have spearheaded along with Henry that that black
Caps lineup. And you know, he bowls really well in
thew Zealan conditions and I think in England conditions he
(37:37):
would have gone really well. Look as Senter's wife obviously
do any any any moment sort of thing, So it's
come back home for that and I guess it's it's
the way things have worked out. But yeah, he would
have been a really key factor in that Black CAP's
bowling line up over there.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah, you can understand m running a break as well
after a hell of a long time over in the continent. Now,
the twenty six twenty seven schedules being released for the
black Caps. There's a couple of games happening at the
Hegley Oval and christ Church every on, a few at
sext and Oval and Nelson, but there's nothing for the
need and once again it might be an ODI with
Sri Lanka later on the season.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yeah, well, well I'm guessing. I mean, obviously the marquee
visit is going to be from India, where there will
be plenty of eyeballs on that. I'm guessing. You know,
they're looking to the bigger venues for those games, particularly
against India. Universital Versity Ovals ground capacity probably probably doesn't
(38:39):
match an Indian match. So yeah, we end up with
what you say, one one gaming in Sri Lanka down here,
otherwise tripping up the christ Church, but most of the
season seems like it's in the North Island.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
By this sounds purely money wreeck monetary reasons. I suppose
it is.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yes, I think all rugby, netball, cricket, all of those
sort of traditional main sports are trying to look under
every behind every couch to tryph on a speed dollar
or two at the moment, and so anyway to maximize
the revenue has been taken taking up and that Indian
series over here is the real pilling power for News
(39:21):
on cricket in terms of that financial side of it.
So yeah, you're right, it's dollars and cents. Decision.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
South and Stags had an internal trial more or less
you could call it last week by all accounts, went
really well and coach Scott Abe was pretty toughed.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yes, I talk to Scott Eat about it. You know,
I sort of think sometimes those games can turn a
bit of a mess because you're you're chucking teams, random
sort of players together basically the day before the game,
and I think they had one training together and it
can get really messy. And the other factor is you
get guys that just try to do everything because they're
(39:57):
trying to impress. It's they're time to impress. But talking
to Scot Eat about it, he took a lot out
of it and in some cases were probably is better
than anticipated than what they got out of it. What
he wanted from that game is to see some guys
at a level above club rugby, and he felt like
that they achieved that. They had a look at some
(40:19):
guys at a at a level above club rugby. And
I mean obviously NBC is a step up from there
as well, So yeah, which guys, uh give an opportunity
at the next level from that game. And and I
think the other thing is Club rugby is probably going
to ramp up a little bit in the coming weeks
as well, so in terms of intensity and quality, so
(40:40):
they may be able to see some with some guys
under a bit more pressure in their environment as well.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Margie Mitchell Stagg's legend. He's hung up the voots as
far as the MPC.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Oh absolute legend. Yeah, talk about legends of South and
maybe he's one of them, both both because of his
on field performance. But he's a he's a character and
and look a great story. I mean, one of the
one of the best stories I've been involved with it
and not because because I wrote it, but the story
(41:10):
when Morgie talked to me about, you know, the challenges
he had around the big deaf and basically at times
m told that, you're not going to make it as
a rugby player, you know, for these reasons and whatnot.
And he worked his way through that and did make
it as a professional rugby player, and made it as
a as a very good professional rugby player too, and
(41:32):
was You know, there's the old saying that you know,
the first player you're pucking the rugby teams, you're tighthead prop.
Some of the first ball is not arguing against that,
but I think it's really important to have a quality
tight head prop and Morgie served that role really well
for the Stags over a long period I think eighty
odd games.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, you pack your prop in your keck are isn't
it something like that?
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, you don't. You don't want to weak tight head prop. Anyway,
it comes scrum.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Time, that's for sure. The club rug he starts to
really ramp up down the barbers run on front and
the competition pirates old boys aren't far behigh. But are
we seeing a real clear cat top four yet?
Speaker 3 (42:08):
I think probably at the end of this weekend we
may do. At the moment, Pilots, old Boys and Barbarians
look like a level A buzz. Other teams Woodlands are
down a web it on the numbers for injuries and whatnot.
Stars an interesting one because they're sort of hanging their
force at the moment, but they've got a few players
(42:31):
coming in the next couple of weeks that may Boston
a little bit. So look if they if they were
to knockover Start with a knockover Woodlands this weekend and
potentially Blues tip over Marat, then you know you could
pretty much have a maybe Barbarians, Pirates, Old Boys, Woodland
Star sort of top four looking shaping up there. But
(42:54):
as I said, I think at the moment, Parates, Old
Boys and Barbarians look to be a clear cut above
the rest of.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
The Southland Sharks. They're second in the NBL. They're just
going from strength to strengths and they're shoring up the
roster on the way.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
I've got a stack town and what they really do like, it's,
you know, they got most of the guys back from
last season and that team that went to the Grand Final,
and then on top of that, they've added some some
real real class and a couple of tall blacks. I mean,
they went on a seven game or they're on a
seven game winning streak and I did that without Tobias
(43:32):
Cameron and Max Darling and two players that have played
for the tool Backs and they're now back in the
in the Max as well. So he's real, real exciting
times for the Sharks, of for your Sharks fan because
he's a real, real chance that this team could push
for a title this year.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
Well most of the Sudden Steel though they are thereabouts.
But ideally in that competition, you want to finish first
for home advantage in the finals.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Oh absolutely, Look, I think you want to finish first
because you get a home Grand final and that would
be amazing, not just put to push for a title,
but just for the community to have an occasion like
that down here. Yeah, real sort of heartbreaker to lose
that game against the Mystics and overtime on Sunday, Like,
(44:16):
if they could have nailed that, that would have put
themselves in a real strong position. Obviously, the top three
go to the playoffs, top teen goes straight to the
final and then two v three, So the other beauty
would be to finish second and at least and get
that home semi final game. I think they played the
Stars this weekend, Who's at forth, so really important to
(44:40):
knock them over and really shore up that top three
spot at least.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, and that raucous crowd certainly in the Steels favor.
Good on yourself, keep up the great work with the Tribune.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Thanks Axendy, laugh.
Speaker 8 (44:54):
Out loud with ad proud because life on the land
can be a laughing matter.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Brought to us by sheer Well data working to help
the livestock farmer. What's the difference between bird flu and
swine flu? One requires tweetment, the other one needs ointman
just speaking and Morgan Mitchell, he's on the show tomorrow too,
looking forward to catching up with mister mad Right, we
leave it there for the afternoon. I'm Andy Muller. The
(45:20):
muster's brought to you by Peter's Genetics podcast. Up shortly,
enjoy the smile weather see you tomorrow. Hey, well, all
right too, he'll go there And what did he go
on again? PGG writes some present stock selling action once
again and a curd of the chaut and say this morning,
the one and only David Morrison is on the line
to give us a rundown on prices. Get at how
do we fare good?
Speaker 4 (45:41):
Andy?
Speaker 6 (45:41):
Look you a very good sale today, certainly getting through
the numbers now. But the best the leaves big, the
very best slaves today three.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Ha undred three thirty. But it's very big names minion
names anywhere from sort of or better better medium sort
of two forty fifty with the smaller of the primal
lambs sort of one eighty five to one ninety into
the U section.
Speaker 6 (46:09):
Very very quiet.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Thees today probably a smallest yadding and Mutton in the
today light US ding twenty hundred and thirty dollars and
that's pretty much what there was there anyway, Muston stall Lambs. Yeah,
big lift here today, big lift probably twenty to thirty
dollars I thought.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Best.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
The stores are two hundred and two twenty millions, sort
of one seventy five to one eighty with the lighter
of the stores. Not may not many of them, sort
of one three five to one fifty. But yeah, big
big jump there today, obviously with the talk of where
the spring Land market's going to be. So it's all
good and they're representing
Speaker 5 (46:48):
Seven things.
We're God, I can't walk. Good afternoon, and welcome to
the muster on Hakanui, brought to you by Peterston. Next,
my name's Andy Nwack here until two o'clock this afternoon.
Thanks for your company as a lookout over Main Street
and onto the hills. And well, it's balme for winter
(00:23):
at the start of winter. I mean, we talk about
it a lot at the moment, but you can't ignore it.
The temperature outside of Main Street and Gore is twelve degrees.
We'll look at the weather shortly, but over the next
week it's scarily unwinter esque. Phil don't have a weather watch.
Coincidentally on the muster tomorrow with a proper rundown on
the weather for the next seven days in the South
(00:45):
without further ado though Elvis Presley, the King is the dunes.
You probably gets that one now. Hakanui's five day forecast
with twin farm teff from and subtext the proof is
in the progeny tear from co dot inz. So this
afternoon shellers like northeasterlies and fourteen Friday partly cloudy have
(01:07):
come variable wins six and fifteen Saturday afternoon showers of
breezy westerlies five and ten. Sunday showers of breezy westerlies
yet again eight and ten, and on Monday, these temperatures continue,
although a bit of rain is forecast for breezy westerlies
seven and twelve sew temperatures Clinton eight point three, Harriet
(01:28):
eight point six, Northern South and eight point seven, tier
Now ten point five, Riverton nine point five, Titora at ten,
Woodlands eight point one, and Winton nine point one, Peter
Gardin farms and Netdale and starts us off this afternoon. Now,
these were post terraffs that the US government wants to
(01:49):
put on countries like New Zealand. It's gone going in
at twelve point five percent, that's the talk anyway, because
we're using countries that are using enforced labors. So Pete's like,
what does this mean that the most regarding the whole
situation with the US, And yeah, just I don't know.
One day you can see New Zealand being stuck between
a rock and a hard place between China and the US.
(02:09):
If this continues. Olivia weatherburn the beef for their New
Zealand we have a yarn, as does Hillary Copeland of
Bannerman Crockshank Pride to the lawyers talking prenuptial agreements. Warren
Ross at way Mumu is the rallying season. He's our
fishing guru as well as a rallying guru. When he
(02:31):
was up in Canterbury last weekend. And while tells is
how the rallying season's going, is it cramps into full
swing and Logan Savry out of the Southern Tribune. Jacob Duffy,
his star just seems to rise in the cracketing stocks,
amongst other things. David Morrison a PGG Wrightson has a
yarn regarding to Charlton soil and yeah, those prices are
(02:53):
just getting better and better for lands. Put it that way.
Time to start the hour and now we catch up
Peter guard I and this is a muster two o
clock thanks to Petersontics. Seven after one.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
This interview is brought to you by Agricenter South Branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton and Ranfurly.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Drop by your local Agricenter South Branch today.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Haya Guarda and Farms at Napdale Sheep beef farmer arable
in his operation as well. Pete Good afternoon. It's a
mild Thursday for June.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Jess at cracking good June, and it has been a
great May. And I think one of your correspondents may
have predicted that quite possibly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I'm trying to think now we likes a Duley irregular
or someone.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I don't know who it was, but I think they
said that the saw was nice and dry, so we're
probably going to have a good May so grass growth.
So I think it was Yeah, if we can have
every mad like this, I'd order.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That up straight away, absolutely so, soil ground conditions out
of your way.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
How's it been then, Oh, it's great underfoot. We've got
the dairy cowes turning up. We just went to a
handful of dairy cows for a farm that's two farms
away and they're walking in and they're just walking straight
onto the brakes and it's just amazing. A so long
long mate, continue and I think that's something that will
offend Dean Ravage but south and they'll get you down,
(04:18):
but it won't let you down. We had a really
dry summer autumn here at Napdale, but we're reefing the
benefits of it now and it is that balancing out
of You know, the sail was dry, so we've kicked
into windows quite nicely. So yeah, thanks are pretty happy
out on the farm.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, I'm waiting for a message from Glenham pretty much
as we're speaking at the moment. So how does the
change of thinking as to what we've had recently or
does it? You just got to stay in then frame
of the time of year.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I think it's around for us. Cam a stock manager
of myself, at the end of the day yesterday we
did a bit of a window feed budget just for
crops and how many sheep each cropple first, and how
many cattle each cropple fers and that sort of thing.
And you know, we came back with that and our
pasture covers were actually sitting pretty good. So we take
a bit of lambs into this time of year and
(05:08):
take them up to good weights.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So we'll just.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Keep ticking them over and instead of panicking and killing
them at Laha Waits, we'll just keep hanging on and
keeping our weights up. And then same on the kettle front.
Things are looking positive. We've got the grassy males. We'll
just squeeze those two more dollars out of the season.
And we can do that without threatning next season, which
is obviously the bill or and indoors don't don't stuff
(05:31):
next season.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, now we catch you on the spray today. Are
you saying slug could be slugs might be a problem.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, So we've got one of the guys out putting
a bit more slug made out, especially down at the
sort of mcname cookerle into things where the slugs cycled.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
A bit more.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They weren't they weren't as dry in the summer. And
then what I'm doing is tiding up some weeds and
a grass seed crop because they're nice and small and
easy to get at the stage. And then some beans
that have regrown into a wheat paddock and a little
bit of greasy cut where them in that predict two,
which we're going to tidy up because we don't need
any little too many things eating crops for trying to grow,
(06:07):
especially when they're young, and just establishing. No, it's good,
it's positive.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
We've done the budget for next year. It's looking good.
I mean, incomes are looking strong, but costs are also
looking strong too, So we're just going to keep on
top of that. One of the things we are doing
to keep on top of that is we are going
to all predictiss to the farm at home again this year,
and we're playing around with some soil probes to an
instant read on that front, and I've gone through a
(06:32):
calibration process, so that's looking pretty pretty exciting. And we'll
also be leaning into the cameras we've got on air
tractor which measure the notrogen content of their crops, and
then that controls the UREA spreader, so we're really optimizing
what it needs and saving what doesn't need to go on,
which is great for the bank balance, but also it's
great for the environment.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's incredible you talk like that because not that many
years ago, cruising around to the four to five thousand
with a two and a half time bulky on the
back and just going by your Marx and the peddock
by the eye appraisal. It shows you how times change.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Oh definitely. And to be fair, when you're rare, was
not that long ago you're there was five hundred bucks
a ton.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
To be fair, if you're.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
If you're a bit worried about whether it needed or
five hundred bucks a ton, you just put it on.
So the higher prices of your rear especially and all
the other nutrients made me need to be smarter.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So fuel prices was seeing it come back down. I
think I poked peaked of four dollars here in Gore
the same station currently, off the top of my head,
around three dollars seventeen sore as I been discounting here.
You go to the pump, it just eases the pain
on the wall to web it.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, you know, we're we're with a fuel company that
have served us well for a long period of time
and you know, with no plans on changing that, and
I've looked after us right through this period. But yeah,
we've definitely rode the roller coaster, shall we say. April
tul Bill was pretty alchy with the amount that we
used and the price that it was. It was up
(07:59):
to I think we've rolled up about two dollars and
then come back about a dollar. So we're a dollar
off the peak roughly at the moment, but we're also
a dollar above where we started, and so that is
what it is. Hopefully the world can sort itself out
at one stage, because yeah, what they do over there
doesn't put us down here. And it's interesting I don't
(08:22):
want to age myself too badly here, Andy, But when
I was working my first job on a farm, I
made seven dollars an hour, and I was petrol was
a dollar thirty five a liter to put in a
week car. And then I went to Lincoln the next
year and it broke two dollars a liter, And of
course I wasn't earning very much at Lincoln, so that
hurt pretty hard. So I'd argue that the income versus
(08:45):
petrol price back in those old days was actually, you know,
that was two thousand and six, it went two dollars
a liter. That's actually worse than it is right now.
When you take wages versus fuel, well.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Back in the late at nineties, for goodness sake, about
eighty seventy a leader.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yeah. Well, I'm not quite as old as you, Andy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's for sure. But it just shows you how it's
all just relative to what it was back then, and
we're just seeing it. We've talked about fertilizer, we've talked
about diesel. But the other concerning thing, I suppose, Pete,
is the US wanting to implement perhaps a twelve percent
twelve and a half percent tariff on countries that they're
saying are using these countries that enforce slave labor. So
(09:28):
whether this comes on, that's another factor. But it's just
I don't know, America trying to find excuses to make money.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, I kind of see as being in a bit
of a bit of a sticky situation as a country.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They've got a lot of debts.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
The dollar has been the world reserve country, you know,
you reserve currency for a long time, and they have
been the world's superpower, and I think potentially they're coming
to the end of that. And I think, yeah, they're
but like you know, shuder duck and they do a
lot of flapping on the way down, and you know, yeah,
I think he's making a lot of noise and he's
running around and shouting, and hard to know with Trump
(10:07):
what will happen and what won't happen. So I'm not
losing too much sleep on at the moment. And I
think the meat needs, you know, for all the shortcomings.
I think they of react to relevents and respining markets
that they supply into, and I think I think they'll
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Greg ericson my Canadian correspondence is exactly the same thing. Pete,
the fact that all these streats came through from the US,
but after about a week they just kind of shrugged
it off, saying he's not going to do that.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, and I think I think that seems to be
Trump's sort of tactic, and I think it's actually served
them pretty well for a period of time. But I
think now everybody's starting to realize that's just how he operates,
and they're probably not as streets as they used to
be about it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, interesting times. Hey, get on your Pete will let
you carry on this afternoon. Don't forget the sundown lation.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
No, it's great when the weather's like this. Long Matt continue.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Peat card I and based out at Napdale. This is
the Muster and Hakanui. Olivia Weatherburn joins us next from
Beef for lad New Zealand. The Muster Events Diary brought
to you by Beef and Lamb New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Click Beef lambendz dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Olivia Weatherburn joins me in studio, bopping away to a
bit of Elvis. He you thank good? How are you
can't complain? Pretty mild?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
I know it's scary, really I want winter and winter,
but it will come.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It will come, don't worry. It's a matter of when,
not of especially being in the South with Beef and
Lamb goes for the gunner At the moment.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
So much happening. I know that the teamer and tent
at the moment doing the region delivery plan for next
year and what's going to happen, And across the country
there's lots happenings. Just had that big out the gate conference.
There's field days next week. It's hard to believe that's
come around because it's not down here. We sort of, yeah,
keep to it on knitting and doing what we're doing.
But yeah, heap's happening.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So what's happening with the crow in town today exactly
what's going to hapen.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
So every year the farmer councils around the country get
together and they are your selling Every farmer council is
a sounding board for the other farmers and all the
levy payers within the region and so they come together
yearly to help the extension team and the staff of
Beef and Lamb to create what the activity and investment
plan for the next twelve months is going to be.
(12:27):
So today they'll be discussing what they're hearing, they'll have
gone out and talked to other farmers hopefully and they
will be bringing all that in together to go or
what are we going to deliver? So it'll be deciding
whether there's going to be more like those shepherds to
sheerholder events or are they going to be focusing environment
or are people or what is the focus for those
next twelve months to be able to help farmers make
(12:48):
those informed on farm decisions.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
How's Bally going? Just off the top the AI?
Speaker 7 (12:53):
Yeah, but it's going good. So the unique thing about
Bella and AI because everyone's getting into the whole thing
and it's actually quite scary. You're seeing a lot of
AI out there and it's starting to all look the
same and some when it comes to posters. But with Bella,
she can only get information off the Beef and Land website.
So she's been trained. Aaron Meekl has had to train
(13:15):
Bella like a dog, a good dog, and sometimes she
doesn't listen, but she only takes information off the website.
And so when I've just re fresh the employment hub
and so now you can put questions in around creating
job descriptions or having good teen culture and your team
and creating a staff meetings and those kind of things.
(13:37):
She could take the information that's on there and then
user and from what we're hearing, it's a little bit
slower than some AI tools, but that's because she's going
and looking in a bit more detail rather than going
on the World Wide Web and just pulling whatever. But
from what we're hearing, we've had some students trialing it
and that it's been really valuable for their studies to
(13:59):
get the answers, and hopefully people are using it to
be able to actually get the facts and the truth
rather than what they think is right.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Have you heard a farmer is using it very often?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
I haven't heard of farmers specifically at the moment, but
I'm sure there is some out there. Yeah, not so
farmer facing for me now, but for those that I
have heard. So they did interview a few out the
game and that last week just little things like when
there were doing some wintering plans, so everyone's been some
of those farmers been sitting down doing their wintering plans
(14:31):
this year. They've been able to put some scenarios of
questions in there and it's brought up the stuff from
the wintering faction.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What's your job titles these days?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
National Extension Program Manager. So I do a bit for everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's a good way to sub Actually I'm going to
ask one of them tails, but you wrapped it up
at about six words.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Then yeah, So I do bet for everybody. Forty percent
of my time is extension sixty percent and people in capability,
So the people in capability part of the business that's
not the HR and think within beef and lamb. That's
helping support farmers in the people in capability space, so schools, employment,
tertiary education, on farm championing, scholarships, those kind of pieces.
(15:13):
And then one part of that is the Generation Next
program as well.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
So what's coming up and the not too distant future.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
At the moment, the focus is Generation Next, so believe
it or not. Ten years ago I put in great
inducted I suppose is the word. The first twenty Generation
Next participants here in Gore around this week actually about
ten years ago, and last week I helped to the
(15:41):
last twenty for this year in Southern South Island was
last Monday. So we have been running the program for
ten years and we're about to have a ten year
celebration on the second of July when hopeful to bring
it together our alumni and people have been involved in
the program to be able to celebrate where we've gone
on and what we've achieved, and just you really look
(16:03):
at what does that next ten years look like as well?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And it remains popular, that's the thing it is.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah, so we still have on average around ninety We've
got ninety three applicants this year participants at the moment,
so we'll graduate this year. So by the end of
this year, we'll have around six hundred and forty graduates
of the program over the ten years. And if you
think about that, looking at we only were for the
(16:29):
first four years of the program, we were only in
Southland and it was always limited to twenty people. Then
we went to CSI or the Central Area and the
South Island and then it wasn't till about the fourth
or fifth year that the North Island joined us. And
it's only been in the last three years that we've
had the whole country.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So who startled Whose brain child was it?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
That was me?
Speaker 5 (16:51):
It was you.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Yeah, so well there you go. When you when I
went from my role at Beef and Lamb twelve years
ago you had to do a presentation on an idea
and this was actually my presentation. It was more about
your presentation skills and how you could articulate, I think,
to if you'd be any good for the job, and
that they all debate later. But as part of that
(17:14):
I then sat there aside, and then a year later
I bought it up at Farmer Council when to keep
coming up with, oh, we need people who have got
a bit more confidence and skills of finance and technology
and building great teams and understanding actually the processes that
happened at the meat works and that, and I was like,
well I've got this idea, and so thank you to
the Southern South Island Farmer Council and those that were
(17:37):
a part of it then and like Graham Evans and
that were still were a part of it back then
as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll give him some credit
that they gave me the but yet go have a
go and so we had to go and a few
years of getting it right and yeah, I think we've
just about got there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Oh you gotta be pretty proud of that.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Yeah, it would be my Pridu's achievement of Beef and Lamb.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yes, so everything's taking you bow in other words, just
takes over with the organizatization.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Yes, yeah, I think so. Yeah, there's lots happening, lots
of change. We Yeah, obviously Allen has got his feet
well and truly under the table now, so he's starting
to make some moves in regards to where we need
to go. We are looking at a referendum coming up
as well, so it's like, yeah, what's the future looking
(18:24):
like as well? There's always lots of different things popping
up everywhere. But we've got a really great team and
some great talent throughout Beef and Lamb. So it's awesome
to be able to work with all that talented people,
especially across the research team and that and with all
those cool research projects. There's a PhD student just started
in regards to the Bobby Cauff program, and yeah, that
real opportunity. We have to work with the dairy industry.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So what's the referendum about?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
So the referendum every six years, as we are a
commodity levy, we need to go out to farmers to
be able to get their confidence that they want to
be having a livey spent for with Beef and Lamb
to be able to continue the activity we do.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Then, are you going on love?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Leave it?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There? Sounds good? Thanks Andy, You're watching these buttons and
I'm pushing trying. Good work. Olivia Weatherburn of beef Lair,

up next from Batnaman Crokshank, Pride the Lawyers. One through
(19:35):
a party in the count Welcome back to the Muster.
Hillary Copeland of Bannaman Crokshank, Pride the Lawyers joins us.
Next Alvis Prisley in the background. There, Hillary, good afternoon,
great to check once again.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Are you Andy really good?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Alvis Presley. It's a sound from a long time ago,
but that's what I like about a lot of these artists, timeless.
It's a sound, it's a saying which has overused, but
I think it's pretty relevant. Ey.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Yes, I was just going to say that it's a
bit of a blast from the past.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Pre nups relationship property. We've talked about this again, but
it's something we need to go over because is a
hell of a lot involved.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Yes, and I guess I something it always crosses my desk,
and to be brutally asked, they're becoming harder and harder
to deal with because we get a blended family significant
essex and so that's already been that's something that we're
(20:38):
grappling with as lawyers to get the structure right. And
then there's been a recent Court of appeel case that's
sort of moved the goalpost a little bit as well,
So I thought it might be timely to just do
a we refresher.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay around this court case.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
What happened, well, I'm probably I'm not going to get
too much into the detail, I guess because people like
it's quite technical, but there was a Court of a
Peel case and it has indicated that there might be
a move in terms of how we deal with relationship property,
and I guess, big picture, practically, it's sort of confirmed.
(21:17):
What I've been saying to people for a while is
back in the old days, you'd have well we call
it a contracting out agreement, but you know, prenup is
what everyone knows them as, and people would do their
prenup and they would protect certain as sets as their
own and back in the old days you'd do it
(21:37):
and it wouldn't really revisit it now because of the
significant amount of their sets, the change, the moving goalposts
with the law more and more we're saying to people
and the bended family aspects brings a different dynamic as well,
saying to thee well that you need these can't be
(21:58):
bottom draw documents. They need to be reviewed regularly and
updated if you want them to to stand the test
of time. And in a very very simple terms, without
getting into all the dtail, the Court of Appeal decision
sort of has confirmed that that you can't just do
your pren up, do your will and forget about it.
(22:20):
They need to be reviewed and updated regularly and that
yet now that's I feel like a bit of a
broken record, But I'm telling people that all the time.
To be honest, it makes my job harder because they're
actually quite difficult. They're getting more and more complicated. But
that's where we add, you know, that's where we come
in and give service to our clients to help them
(22:42):
get it right.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You talk about this need they need to update things frequently.
What time frame were we talking, Hilary.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I guess we would say, I guess the thing is,
I always say to people with your will, you should
update at any big event in your life if someone
you can hear it. You know, if you buy more
property and heer it more property, any big event, you
need to at least review your will and as a
minimum every five years. And now I say that to
people with a contracting out agreement or a prenup as well,
(23:12):
because in that time, you know, life moves on. People
might sell a house by a different house, or buy
an investment property that change how they own things. And
again there's technical terms there that people might own it
as tenants and common and equal shares which means they
own their share in their sole name, or they own
(23:34):
it jointly, and that has different ramifications. And sometimes when
people buy more property or you know, they carry on
with life in general, they tend to forget about the
pre nupp altogether and that can cause unintended consequences down
the track. So yeah, I guess it just comes down
(23:56):
to getting again. I say this every time we talk,
and is getting good advice and timely advice so that
we can do our best to help you achieve what
you want to achieve.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
So just how lockdown are these agreements? Okay, an agreement
can be classified as a contract, and unfortunately contracts are broken.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Well, I guess that's where this recent case has got
lawyers a little bit. I'm not sure that concerns the
right word, but reascessing things. Well, look, I know I
have clients where they've got really old historic contracting out
(24:37):
agreements and they could be twenty years old, and basically
this case is saying that can still be relevant twenty
years old. It is going to appeal, so it'll be
interesting what happens. But basically, yeah, the court basically said
two key things in that case, and it's seed there
(24:58):
that the pre napp or the com treating out agreement
is the thing that's the document that decides what ends
up in the estate, not someone's will or stand the
property rules, and that the prenup will be enforced when
someone dies unless it's successfully challenged. So I guess from
(25:21):
a practical point of view, my advices, we need to
review those regularly. If you've got one, renew it when
you review your will, and they should align so that
there is no as I say, no unintended consequences at
the end, and things property doesn't pass how you wanted
it to.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Hillary out of ten, how many relationships relationships would you
say have pre nups in place?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
That becoming more and more common. And part of that is,
I guess every profession or every industry or whatever it is,
we're all getting a lot more regular related and dotting
eyes and crossing keys and where everyone's getting more particular
about their paperwork in general. And I say that high level,
but you know, you think about fun as everyone everyone,
(26:10):
every profession has different compliance and rules and regulations, and
not that this is a must have, but it's in
a similar vein people are more conscious and aware of
what they can have in place to help structure things.
So more common because we're more aware, and also more
(26:30):
common because there are second time round relationships and that's
probably the most common. Well too, yeah, that's probably the
one of the most common. Is second time round people
come together and have assets and children from a previous relationship,
so they want to protect that. Or the other end
of the spectrum, I get young clients starting out and
(26:53):
buying their first home and it's like, right, let's protect this,
and you know, because it's a big asset to buy,
let's get it structured right.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
So you're pretty common.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
But as I see at the start, they're getting harder
and harder to complete just because things. Yeah, it's getting
more complicated when you're dealing with significant assets, and as
these children from a previous relationship in those kind of factors,
that can complicate things as well.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, wise, whereas Hillary the tame A Bannamin Crookshank Pride.
Better people get in touch.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Check us out on our website, CP law dot co
dot mved or in our new building and we're hopefully
getting signage. It's been a long time coming next week apparently,
so hopefully were opposite New World and Gore.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, you can see the flags out front anyway when
you're driving past.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Yeah, I'm getting sick of a slag. I'm I'm hoping
for our signage. So watch this space.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Good things come to those you wait. Always appreciate your time, Hillary,
enjoy the day.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Awesome, Thanks there, Hillary.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Copeland, Abanamin Crookshank Pride, the lawyers and pre nup agreements
certainly relevant for a lot of people at the moment.
Warren Ross is up next for my momour and to

Yeah afternoon and yeah not too bad.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Thanks, you're pretty spoiled at the moment. Let's be honest.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Oh no, absolutely, yeah, this morning is very very mild
and yeah just talking off here and in the tempertus
for the week or actually give reasonbly warm at so
it's really good for the time.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The I'm seeing nothing over the next even seven to
ten days that indicates anything's going to change. It's not
to say it will. And it's a very fickable game
when you're talking about the weather. But same old story.
You can only play what's in front of you. And
it's looking pretty deafer. I mean, no overnight lows below
two degrees over the next seven days.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
You knows, it's it's good a sleep, but it would
be nice to get winter. And winter's absolutely yeah. Hopefully
it's not something means something from the spring a so yeah,
but any we'll take what we'll take. What it lives
at the moment.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, you can just live for the moment. But I
suppose the grass is still taking away, just quietly when
it's like this, So.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Yeah, the pdics that we got true out with it
earlier on in there taken away slowly. So just just
looking at the lawns, and you know, it would be
good chance to give. We never hitt cut probably, so
you know, things are just taken over quite nastly.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I've never heard so many lawn mowers going for June
over the past couple of days. It's unbelievable. But I
was talking about this the other day, the silence it's
being made only about ten days ago as well, it's
you could almost say unprecedented, which is an overstated word,
but far out we're into winter.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, So it's a saying that mother nature
always provides on it. So it might have been a
morself of them particularly, and it might have been we
were sort of feed winter crop wise, feed bine war
was but with a nice mold late autumn we had it. Yeah,
that's sort of caught up again.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, we know what they say, mother nature give us,
mother nature take us away, But we're certainly enjoying what
we have at the moment. I mean, for you there,
you'll be into winter mode now pretty much.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
You know, one of the sent days, everything's on crap
and paired so we're just have just been bailers out
and whatever. So it's just you're just quite cruisy at
the moment.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Everything's on top of the ground doing your transitioning onto
crops and that you couldn't ask for anything better.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Now, it's yeah, it's definitely a great start to the
it's great shot to one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You're in hell now you're a bit of a rally buff.
We know this, and you were talking about being up
in Canterbury at the weekend. This is one of your passions.
I suppose, isn't it. You've just got on board this
over the last year or two.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Yeah, I just got on board with that the last
last monter last season. So yeah, no, it's quite draw
worstually getting out out and get on some roads that
you haven't seen before. And yeah, no it's good. You
have a good look around at tom Day. So no,
it's a good call to be evolving.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Now the people who are unaware of the team that
you're involved with, let's give us some details.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
So yeah, sort of I'm just being being the boy really,
so I'm getting told what to do, refuel in the car,
clean the windows, pull tires off, what's they carry on?
So we've got we've got two cars that we are
service force. I think the service crew of normally around
five maybe something that or two cars that's actually pretty
(32:10):
good going. Yeah, so it's just one car. Caleb McDonald
he was car number seven this last weekend, and then
Kevin Leared he was car twenty two, so about fifteen
minutes apart something that. So it just gives us a
bit we breather in between that not much.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
This might sound like a rookie question, but when you're
already fueling a really car? Is it a Jerry Can?
What do you do?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Yeah, yeah, so we just use just jery canswer. Sometimes
there might only be ten leaders and sometimes twenty or
just depends on how far they're going to go between
each each stage or how long the full stoppers. It
just varies very we it so yeah, no, it's yeah,
it's quite good fun.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
What are they run on? Ninety five?
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Different different mixtures? Caleble, he's got a new new car
this year since he rolled at Long last year, and
so his new engineers is one hundred one hundred octane
I think, and I think even Leary he's just running
on ninety five. So it does depends on how the
engine'es tuned and tuned for what just depends.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Really insurance on a Raally car, it's you're insured for
some things but not others. Just elaborate on this. It's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
So actually so the cars founding a where the cars
aren't insured for when they're actually racing. So that's all
on the favorite crass on on on the stage. That's
on the on the owner to prepare it if there's
an accident that happens on the road. Just talk between stages,
touring or going from the house to workshop something that
it's all in short for that purpose, but just not
(33:44):
for racing purposes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You have you taped it on the open road though,
just to give it a bit of jandle, wouldn't you.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, yeah, Well when they are retually touring between stages
there city on what they call it, but there they
rest control can see if they've been speeding, so they've
actually got to stick to speed limits and obeyed by
all the road rules as are touring. So and if
they if they get caught, not by the police, but
if they get caught by the rest control they are
(34:12):
they can get penalized.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You're at fishing, you hear this warmer weather? You teended
to go back into the.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Sounds, absolutely, but unfortunately a trailer is coming up. I
think it should be up now. Actually for gets repaired
under it, so I can't get in there for the
next little bit. So what I have to get the
other way and go into the straight wall. That's what's
a warm and com But I haven't been out for
quite a while. It's Lisa, it's probably very good, very
(34:38):
close to doing.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Something, so I'm sure you've earned it? Well, yeah, absolutely,
But what about the great white? So it's in the
paper the other day the amount of great whites and
five oh straight Jesus and behemoth animals. They're like talking
five meters.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah I heard heard that the other day. Seriously, So
I've been lucky enough. I haven't if you come across
any as of yet. But uh, that's certainly there and
they've always been there.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
But as a fisherman, though, do you not think it
would be always like a ride of passage to see
a shark go cruising underneath the boat if you're not
getting in the water.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, they're definitely around when you're out fishing there, but
they come around the boat when you're fishing in the
water to carry on, so that when I'm diving, I
just don't worry about it. I just put the head
of the back of my mind and forget about it
and hopefully I don't have a passing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
That's why I said, when you're out of the water,
not in the water.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Too easy. We'll always appreciate your time when the muster
enjoy there, want to sleep. Warren Russ based at waymum
Our Fishing Rally and correspondent amongst other things as well,
always appreciate world's time. And Severy of the Southern Tribune
wraps up next. Jacob Duffy just adds to his CV
(35:53):
ve keep your bottle in Las Vegas with you we
can go. This is the muster, like and Sevry, he
writes The Southern Tribua and doing a tremendous job as well,
and we catch up sav good afternoon, straight off the
top Jacob Duffy an IPL champion with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
(36:17):
The script just gets better for the guy.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Yeah, what a twelve months or so for him, isn't it.
It's been remarkable really. You just think about all those
years turning away for the vaults in front of a
handful of people at University, overall Queen's Park, when he's
down here and just going about a business, and probably
a lot wondered whether he was going to spend too
(36:40):
much time in international arena. God has got a shot
with the Black Caps, took it, ended up at Sir
Richard Hadley Medal for the New Zealand Cricketer of the Year.
Then he heads over to India stars in an IPL
debut and now was an Indian Premier League champion, which, yeah,
(37:01):
so a remarkable twelve months or so for a boy
from from South On.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Now he's having a break, he's not joining the black Caps.
He get underway any Test series of England at Lord's tonight.
But the truth is we could have done with Duffers
over there.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, I think this would have been I really think,
you know, he's done a lot in the last twelve
months or so, but this would have probably a series
he could have really shined those conditions with the Duke Bowl,
probably would have spearheaded along with Henry that that black
Caps lineup. And you know, he bowls really well in
thew Zealan conditions and I think in England conditions he
(37:37):
would have gone really well. Look as Senter's wife obviously
do any any any moment sort of thing, So it's
come back home for that and I guess it's it's
the way things have worked out. But yeah, he would
have been a really key factor in that Black CAP's
bowling line up over there.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah, you can understand m running a break as well
after a hell of a long time over in the continent. Now,
the twenty six twenty seven schedules being released for the
black Caps. There's a couple of games happening at the
Hegley Oval and christ Church every on, a few at
sext and Oval and Nelson, but there's nothing for the
need and once again it might be an ODI with
Sri Lanka later on the season.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yeah, well, well I'm guessing. I mean, obviously the marquee
visit is going to be from India, where there will
be plenty of eyeballs on that. I'm guessing. You know,
they're looking to the bigger venues for those games, particularly
against India. Universital Versity Ovals ground capacity probably probably doesn't
(38:39):
match an Indian match. So yeah, we end up with
what you say, one one gaming in Sri Lanka down here,
otherwise tripping up the christ Church, but most of the
season seems like it's in the North Island.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
By this sounds purely money wreeck monetary reasons. I suppose
it is.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yes, I think all rugby, netball, cricket, all of those
sort of traditional main sports are trying to look under
every behind every couch to tryph on a speed dollar
or two at the moment, and so anyway to maximize
the revenue has been taken taking up and that Indian
series over here is the real pilling power for News
(39:21):
on cricket in terms of that financial side of it.
So yeah, you're right, it's dollars and cents. Decision.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
South and Stags had an internal trial more or less
you could call it last week by all accounts, went
really well and coach Scott Abe was pretty toughed.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yes, I talk to Scott Eat about it. You know,
I sort of think sometimes those games can turn a
bit of a mess because you're you're chucking teams, random
sort of players together basically the day before the game,
and I think they had one training together and it
can get really messy. And the other factor is you
get guys that just try to do everything because they're
(39:57):
trying to impress. It's they're time to impress. But talking
to Scot Eat about it, he took a lot out
of it and in some cases were probably is better
than anticipated than what they got out of it. What
he wanted from that game is to see some guys
at a level above club rugby, and he felt like
that they achieved that. They had a look at some
(40:19):
guys at a at a level above club rugby. And
I mean obviously NBC is a step up from there
as well, So yeah, which guys, uh give an opportunity
at the next level from that game. And and I
think the other thing is Club rugby is probably going
to ramp up a little bit in the coming weeks
as well, so in terms of intensity and quality, so
(40:40):
they may be able to see some with some guys
under a bit more pressure in their environment as well.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Margie Mitchell Stagg's legend. He's hung up the voots as
far as the MPC.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Oh absolute legend. Yeah, talk about legends of South and
maybe he's one of them, both both because of his
on field performance. But he's a he's a character and
and look a great story. I mean, one of the
one of the best stories I've been involved with it
and not because because I wrote it, but the story
(41:10):
when Morgie talked to me about, you know, the challenges
he had around the big deaf and basically at times
m told that, you're not going to make it as
a rugby player, you know, for these reasons and whatnot.
And he worked his way through that and did make
it as a professional rugby player, and made it as
a as a very good professional rugby player too, and
(41:32):
was You know, there's the old saying that you know,
the first player you're pucking the rugby teams, you're tighthead prop.
Some of the first ball is not arguing against that,
but I think it's really important to have a quality
tight head prop and Morgie served that role really well
for the Stags over a long period I think eighty
odd games.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, you pack your prop in your keck are isn't
it something like that?
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, you don't. You don't want to weak tight head prop. Anyway,
it comes scrum.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Time, that's for sure. The club rug he starts to
really ramp up down the barbers run on front and
the competition pirates old boys aren't far behigh. But are
we seeing a real clear cat top four yet?
Speaker 3 (42:08):
I think probably at the end of this weekend we
may do. At the moment, Pilots, old Boys and Barbarians
look like a level A buzz. Other teams Woodlands are
down a web it on the numbers for injuries and whatnot.
Stars an interesting one because they're sort of hanging their
force at the moment, but they've got a few players
(42:31):
coming in the next couple of weeks that may Boston
a little bit. So look if they if they were
to knockover Start with a knockover Woodlands this weekend and
potentially Blues tip over Marat, then you know you could
pretty much have a maybe Barbarians, Pirates, Old Boys, Woodland
Star sort of top four looking shaping up there. But
(42:54):
as I said, I think at the moment, Parates, Old
Boys and Barbarians look to be a clear cut above
the rest of.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
The Southland Sharks. They're second in the NBL. They're just
going from strength to strengths and they're shoring up the
roster on the way.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
I've got a stack town and what they really do like, it's,
you know, they got most of the guys back from
last season and that team that went to the Grand Final,
and then on top of that, they've added some some
real real class and a couple of tall blacks. I mean,
they went on a seven game or they're on a
seven game winning streak and I did that without Tobias
(43:32):
Cameron and Max Darling and two players that have played
for the tool Backs and they're now back in the
in the Max as well. So he's real, real exciting
times for the Sharks, of for your Sharks fan because
he's a real, real chance that this team could push
for a title this year.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
Well most of the Sudden Steel though they are thereabouts.
But ideally in that competition, you want to finish first
for home advantage in the finals.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Oh absolutely, Look, I think you want to finish first
because you get a home Grand final and that would
be amazing, not just put to push for a title,
but just for the community to have an occasion like
that down here. Yeah, real sort of heartbreaker to lose
that game against the Mystics and overtime on Sunday, Like,
(44:16):
if they could have nailed that, that would have put
themselves in a real strong position. Obviously, the top three
go to the playoffs, top teen goes straight to the
final and then two v three, So the other beauty
would be to finish second and at least and get
that home semi final game. I think they played the
Stars this weekend, Who's at forth, so really important to
(44:40):
knock them over and really shore up that top three
spot at least.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, and that raucous crowd certainly in the Steels favor.
Good on yourself, keep up the great work with the Tribune.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Thanks Axendy, laugh.
Speaker 8 (44:54):

can be a laughing matter.

very best slaves today three.
Speaker 2 (45:51):

names anywhere from sort of or better better medium sort
of two forty fifty with the smaller of the primal

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Very very quiet.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Thees today probably a smallest yadding and Mutton in the
today light US ding twenty hundred and thirty dollars and
that's pretty much what there was there anyway, Muston stall Lambs. Yeah,
big lift here today, big lift probably twenty to thirty
dollars I thought.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Best.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
The stores are two hundred and two twenty millions, sort
of one seventy five to one eighty with the lighter
of the stores. Not may not many of them, sort
of one three five to one fifty. But yeah, big
big jump there today, obviously with the talk of where
the spring Land market's going to be. So it's all
good and they're representing
Speaker 5 (46:48):
Seven things.
