o'clock thanks to Peter Genetics.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Grand Disaster.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
McMaster joins us once again thanks to batman of the
team at arb Rural, Greg, Good, afternoon, we missed you
last week.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You were away on a family bonding trip.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah. Good and and everybody. Yes the lighty that kept
the track with my son and daughter and yeah we
had a great, great time whether it played its part.
First day up through the post was hot, so it's
good to be in the bosh puffing a bit. The
next day was quite very windy from from the Luxmore
Hut over and down into the Irish Burn, but the
(03:11):
about seventy seventy five k and there winds there up
in the top and it's pretty hard. There's a couple
of people that got blind over. Actually it must have
just been there packed plus have been a bit heavy,
as certainly wasn't. But yes, survived that. The next day.
It was that night there was a very rough forecast
rained that night and that and the next day ten
minutes of rain and we walked out without any coats on.
(03:33):
So it was lucky with the weather. And you get
into the field and you just realized what a beautiful
place we live and looking down into my old hometown
tire now and we can talk about this another day,
but you know, you look there and once you get
up onto the top of Mount Luxborn, you look at
all the land and the shaw basin that was basically
brought in by the Lands and Survey and still should
(03:55):
be in the ballot farms and still should be. But
you know a lot of land when you get up
there and look at it, so yeah, great, you know,
it's a great example of what was done to get
our country garden.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Were the hat's busy, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Before we have fifty fifty per heart and when you're
not the fastest one up there, you only get the
bloody top bunk so which they're happened to us both nights,
so we actually didn't stay in the third half because
we'd sort of we've got to our match fitness end
and just carried on the core of the moose in
Tiara or Alertus and there for a few points and
(04:30):
to rehydrate after ascent.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, how's everything looking at klosper In station. Haven't spoken
to you for a couple of weeks. And finally we've
had a run of decent weather for a couple of
days at least, oh we have it.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's a little bit cool in the mornings, but it's
a bit like summer used to be, you know, the
later the day, the hot of the sun, and that's
been the case the last few days. And things are
looking really good still that the feet sort of it's
dried up a little bit, but you know, still tendy
there and utilizations good. You know, we've still got water
running and yeahs are things are looking good. We've just
(05:06):
been up in our farm discussion group, went to Krale
on Tuesday and stay Tuesday night and back yesterday. But
we went up to look at a couple of places.
We went up to look at Mount Parker and also
to Cabafe, which is a lone star block there in Cherral.
(05:27):
So the subjects were when we were looking at collars
on cattle and basically on beef cows. And I don't know,
I think it's probably I didn't know much about it. Well,
I didn't know anything about it. No, a little bit
more now, but you know, it could be one of
the biggest changes. I think I've always said in my
time farming, you know, the electric fencing coming and was
(05:49):
a big change, and scanning, you know, great things that
we really utilize. And while these collars aren't for everybody,
it's pretty fascinating. And I was, yeah, it was just
so that's so interesting that the first place we went to,
you know, very big paddicks and they have the in
the hill country and so he had he had about
(06:10):
three hundred cows breeding kews. They were herepids with collars
on and cleaning these big blocks up and you know,
it's just virtual fencing, and obviously you've got waters involved
and on hill blocks it makes it a bit more difficult.
But I think one of the one of the biggest
things for that was the fact that that you know,
the cars you can't put a you can't put a
collar on a on a on a cattle beast until
(06:32):
it's two hundred k's or a year old. I think,
I'm like something like that. The cows are you know,
they are tall to clean up the hill and tag
and what have you, and they were doing that not
to the detriment of the calf. So that to me
was a big you know, that was a really that
was a big plus. And but the other interesting things
(06:53):
that cavafet which loans day you know, fourteen thousand news
and I don't know how many eight hundred and fifty
cows and other varieties of cattle, but or ages.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
One of the big things is you know, break feeding crops.
So it takes about three days to get a cow
or a Cattleb's used to it. And it's just when
they when they do the when they shift and it's
a bit of a little vibration on the on their
collar and there they go. But another interesting point, well
to me was the fact that like when when there
(07:26):
feeding winter crop, there's very little waste. It's because as
we all know, you know, you put your you put
your your fence up for they put the one wire
up and if it's ten meters or five meters or
whatever it is, but they all as soon as you
take the back fence down, they rush in and go
straight to the other fence and trample and crap on things.
This way with with this virtual fencing, you know, you
(07:49):
just you give them a meter and they just all
go through and just they're all eating in a line.
And you might change, you might, you know, you might
have to change that twice a day. But yeah, you
don't have to leave the office to do that. It's
it's incredible. In fact, we're in the in the in
the wa Taki Hotel. We had the fortune to stay
there and the young guy Josh Meegel who's sort of
(08:11):
the pr man, and he his parents have got quite
a big ball unit out of Momoro, and I was
sitting with him. We're having a bear six o'clock at
ninety sol show. I said, I'll shift these balls. So
he falls up on his falls up on us on
his phone and as you can see the dots of
sixty balls, he shifts the virtual fence and you go
(08:33):
back quart of our later to look at it, and
they've all gone through, so you know it certainly got
its place. I don't think, you know, we wouldn't. We
wouldn't use it on clothes burn But you know, another
example was cattle that are on you know, the station
over Wonakaway that has a lot of a lot of
river flats and the virtual fence that and the cattle
are out of the waterways and everything's tickety booth. So yeah,
(08:56):
really really fascinating.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But you're quite the thick person these days. I mean
you've got a drone putting nights on today by the
sounds of it too.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh yeah, well the in the manual, but is shoveling
the stuff into the drone. But yeah, we've got that
seven hectiars of k a we have over it over
at the Home and Gully Road. It's it's looking really
good a little bit later, so we thought we might
just put a bit of a bit of ferret on it.
And it's it's it's hell. But I mean the bulky
(09:26):
put the stuff on there, so it's not it's not
like the north face of the IIG or anything. But
to save the marks and what have you, and I
thought it'd be a good thing to try. So yeah,
he's still be there about a bit later on this afternoon,
and we're going to put a tunnel and various and
see how they see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
See, your phone must be loaded up with all these apps, now.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Know.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
The only apps so I've got is the apple in
the truck that I had to smoke over. No, I think,
you know, it's probably a bit late for me. But
at Cavafe they've got you know, staff of thirteen or
fourteen and there's like fourteen thousand years and the rest
of the cattle of big numbers, but you know, and
it's all young people there and they're all into this.
(10:09):
You know, everything's on their phone. So the junior shepherds
know to go, you know, what the week's going to be.
How many shifts? Someone goes around now and again and
will check obviously, But you know, I think today's general.
You know that this this generation now that are taking over,
they've got all that all that technology, the fingertips, and
thank Christ, it wasn't my time because i'd be you know,
(10:31):
they can even you know, but these some of these
collars now are are going to be able to actually measure,
you know, how much that much covers and paddocks and
as I said to my group, Well, we used to
go on the you know, it wasn't about two thousand
cages to d I matter for the stars on the
Spates Camp. Yeah yeah, and you weren't. But I didn't
(10:52):
realize you weren't meant to drink of Spates camp before
you did that. But so once IK of that sort
of out was a bit more reliable.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Hey, get on your ground.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
We'll catching next week dog trial results to be back
on the table.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Normality war resume. We always appreciate your time.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
No, it's great. I was a bit of new technology.
I came back absolutely both and I just thought it
was so good. And you know what a great place,
the young farmers and the and the people that invent
all the stuff and doing and the guy that came
out of Rocket Lab. So yeah, it gives you a
better faith.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Grammic Master, thanks to ABI Rural.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next on the muster, we'll go to South Otago Nidgea Warldhead.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Farms between bal Cluther and Milton. We catch up.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
This interview is brought to you by Agricenter South Branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton and Ranfurly. Drop by your
local agri center South Branch today Niger.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Your Warldhead farmers in South Otago between bu Cluther and Milton.
Just head towards the hills for a weber and you'll.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Find u place somewhere in amongst the mix GI day nights,
how I and day like this. You can't really complain
as good as.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
One of those short sleeve shirt and shorts from first
thing in the morning when you walk get the door.
Day to day. It's been we've been looking forward to them.
It's been awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, take the w's while you've got them. So ground
conditions the hell are you looking good?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah? No, ground conditions are good. It was interesting. We
made our whole crop silene last week and you know,
the contract who comes from a cloud var away was
sort of saying, you know, it was amazing how much
weater it was over here than then home. And then
they called a US today to pick up a tractor
in a rake that was still sitting here and they
said the same things. You know, you're a lot greener
(12:40):
than than likes the cloud bar. It's it's a bit
drier over there. So yeah, we're still you know, yeah,
we've still got plenty of moisture. There's there's no sign
of dret here anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So like so if you fake hovers and that lambs
are doing pretty good or what else is going on.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Such, Yeah, limbs, limbs are doing well. We killed four
fifty four sixty lambs off cropperlier in the week and
they killed pretty well to what was it turned in
thirteen dollars or something in their hands, So I'll take that.
And everything else is pretty much just sort of spread out,
got blocks and just shoffing them around. And they're blocks,
(13:17):
you know, like the view limbs have got or set
two five five paddicks and they'll just go round and round,
and I'm just shoffing some works lambs a bit closer
to the yard this afternoon. Then I'll I'll get drenched
in the morning and same thing. They've got three or
four paddocks and then they'll be in a week's time
they'll go to the next three or four. Just keep
them rotating around and giving them plenty of space and
(13:41):
feed and water, and they seem to be doing well. Yeah,
So it's probably just use at the moment, really just
trying to keep the used moving, put as much weight
on them as we.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Can trying to get there flashing before the boys go out.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, we assure them do about ten days ago and
then there was a cold week. And I don't think
they're lot too much. I just reckoned they're a bit
lighter than where they should be and they're definitely too light,
a lot lighter than where where a lot of them
to be for the rams, So trying to put trying
to put some weight on them, you know, not making
them do any too too much hard work. If anything
(14:17):
needs if any panics need tidied up, we're just running
behind them with the topper and and top it, cut
some thistles off and a bit of rent feed and
keep the us moving to try and put weight on.
So yeah, hopefully have a bit of warmth like this.
The feedal hard en up. I reckon feed was going
through stock, what is going through stock a bit? And
(14:38):
yeah there's actually the other thing we were just yelling
about it before went on air that the worms as well.
Was I was meant to a feak weekend reduction tests
and some new lembs at weaning, and I forgot about
it and drenched everything. So I just said some new
lembs and yesterday and tested seen of them for you
to make sure the levels were high enough to do
(14:58):
a reduction test, and the vetraing and said she'd done
three samples and stop doing any more samples because the
lowest was at two thousand. So there's a lot of
worms around and I reckon that'll be holding some of
the us back as well. So next week's jobs running
us through the yards and get some lights off the bottom.
And I hate drenching us, but I might have to
drink some of the light ones just to give them
(15:20):
a just to give them a chance.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You know, So how often would you drink you using
if you say you don't like drenching.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Them, I'd never like we are we hand for lights,
and the odd light triplet might get a squirt before
landing it set stocking, you know, we might do one
hundred and then this time, like the titis will probably
get a drench when they come in for their camp
in about three weeks time, because I reckon the champion
the top so I can knock them around, and it's
(15:46):
a time when you know their worms can get on
top of them. So we'll probably give them a good
squirt then to set them up and they'll hopefully be
their last one for life. And like I say, just
the rest of and the US would usually get nothing.
But in a year like this where you know there
are a few lights, like we win some pretty heavy lambs.
(16:07):
I think the lambs sucked it all out of the
US and we were pretty dry and ivember and the
seamult tight covers, so that feels some weight off them.
You know, We're just need to do everything we can
to put that weight back on them. So we'll probably yeah,
try him for of undrenched US and with those lights
(16:29):
to loot that any resistant wounds that those US might
squw it out, but just ye try and do what
we can to keep production, guarantee some production for next year.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Is that the main reason for not drenching Nis just
resistance reasons?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Yeah, a long term it's a long term play. I
think I've used capsules once and I don't think i've
either drenched ever you on the farm. So yeah, it
is a resistance thing. Like we've done two or three
fecal equal week out reduction test since we've been home
and sort of just over ten years, and like our
(17:09):
resistance levels have been improving, if you know what I mean.
So the resistance has been dropping, so it'll be interesting
to see what this year is. One tells us. So
it must be must be sort of working. And you know,
like in an ideal world you preadyear it doesn't need
it doesn't need drenched, that can handle a bit of
(17:31):
You still produce put weight on this time of year
with the with the worm burden challenge. But yeah, like
you've got to be realistic as well. Some of those years,
like I say, if they're a bit light, and you
know these they're hoovering up a huge volume of worm
larvae after the lambs, and you know you can use
(17:51):
some story somewhere along the line. You've got to put
your ideological side of things to one side and just
do what's best for the animal and every now and
then to give them a squirt.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So how often would you put the use through the
yards just to take the bottom twenty or fifty off
each time, for example.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Trying to at least monthly this time year. Ah, And
it's also this time the year sets your production for
the next year of body conditions. So the more often
you get them through the yards, the more often you
know what's going on. There's always the odd poking lamb
and a maxim So it's good plan to get them
out and keep an eye on body condition. I'm probably
not as good at weighing my ues as what I
(18:29):
probably should be, and you keep to keep an eye
out on their weight, so I probably should do that
every time they're in the yards. But and yet, yeah,
just it's essentially it's a body condition score. Every time
they come in. You just put your hand on if
you like the sean so you can see them. That's
really good. You just whip the lights off the bottom.
And usually if you're doing it right, every time they
(18:51):
come in, you should be taking some lights back out
of the light mob and putting it with the fat mobe.
You shouldn't be taking more skinnies out, if you know
what I mean. The main mob should be on the improved.
So yeah, it's just, yes, it's an important time you
to keep an eye on what's going on with your
what's the most important stock class, which is the breeding.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Us just finally knowlige.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think we just got to acknowledge the positives that
are happening in the sect and the rural sector at
the moment.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Oh, it's a fantastic year. And that I regon this
is going to be the season that we yae that
we all talk about until we're old men. Yeah, Like
farmers live and die on production, the weather and the
prices we receive for our produce, and everything's in our
favor this year. Obviously acknowledging some of the guys around
(19:37):
northern South and they had a tough year for moisture,
but probably ninety eight percent of the listeners out there
have been having a fantastic year with weather, obviously, product
price as a record, and around here I know were
we were pretty good, pretty good tailing percentages, so the
production was pretty sharp too, So that's good. Yeah, Like
that's I think I said it modestaid last time. It's
(19:59):
makes it a whole a lot easy to get out
of bed in the morning when you know you're making
financial headway as well as physical headway.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Right, Absolutely, better leave it there, mate, You enjoy the
afternoon noise, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, do you run, enjoy the sun. We'll catch you
next week.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Nigera wad head in South Otago.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Interestly, he talks about the worm situation as well, So
if you want to go and test the girls but
concerned about wearing burdens of the life.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, we've talked about it a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Don't need any more better reason to do it when
the season's being like it's been. Andy Magnus is up
next talking to the Magnificent Race that is happening around
Gore at the moment or Eastern Southland.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Always have a welcome back to the Muster Pinball Wizard
there by elt in John Pinball being the operative word
with a lot of these athletes and the Magnificent Adventure
being thrown around courtesy of Mother NIGHTSUA. Andy Magnus once
(21:04):
again joins us Rice to Richta for the Magnificent Venture Race. Andy, good, afternoon.
It's been an interesting week.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
It has been an interesting week. Indeed, Yeah, it feels
like more than a week to me, to be fair,
but yeah, it's anyway, we had a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, from your perspective, has it been stressful.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
For me? It's been extremely stressful. But we've got a
fantastic crew and we've been sharing the load, which is
the only thing that makes it possible to be to
be honest.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So, how many people are actually involved with the Magnificent
Race A size? Why volunteers or people helping out.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
So we've probably got a crew, including the media crew,
the core crew, and the various volunteers, probably of twenty
five to thirty to I'd have to take a you know,
I'd say it's around that number. Yes, it's a big
effort by a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
So the way was playing ball at the moment, but
that wasn't the case earlier in the wake. How did
the teams.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Fear well, So the first two days were just cold
and wet, and then it was the third day when
it was nice and the first sunny day warmed up
a little bit. But then we had a big swell
on the coast. It was when teams were down the coast,
a lot of wind, and we had some carnages. Teams
were on the water and teams were coming into land
(22:24):
and lots of swimmers putting their boats and yeah, so
it was it was pretty taxing, but we got through it.
We had a couple of swimmers that were in the
water for a while before we were able to get
them out, and so they were flown out to Dunedin
and checked out at the hospital there, but they'd actually
(22:44):
rejoined the race and spirits. Yeah, so I mean that's
it's adventurracing. It's so long that they were okay. They
got a bit of a shock from being pulled along
by the current down the coast, and and so they
just wanted to you know, the gold. We just want
to make sure they're okay. And so they've come. They've
decided to skip any further coastal legs, which is fair enough.
(23:07):
They had enough of that, and so they've they've jumped
on the bike yesterday afternoon and they're probably heading up
towards Black Gully now. And yeah, we had we lose
carnage on the coast. It's big swell, lots of exciting
action down there. Teams loved it. It was probably the
highlight of the race. The coast doing leg but yes,
and dramatic swims and people getting thrown against the rocks,
(23:30):
a couple of you know, bash knees and things like that,
but all them all to be expected given given what
the racers were traversing.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Getting against the rocks. That's what you call being suckers
for punishment.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Yeah, And I mean that's it's it's it's a it's
a matter of timing, you know, it's it's the racers
are having to time things with waves, and we have
safety crew there and and teams know what they're getting into.
They have wet suits and life jackets and helmets. So yeah,
you know, it's kind of like falling out from mountain bike.
So it happens, and everybody is okay, and everybody's off
(24:06):
the coast deering stage. So now it's onto just finding
the last checkpoints in Black Gully, and so we're breathing
a sigh of relief that that we got through that
those stages with all the plans working and everybody, you know,
just bruised and battered, but no worse for wear at
the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So how many teams that pulled down a rice far?
Or is everybody so in contention?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
No, No, everybody's not selling contention. We have I think
that we have four. I believe we have four, maybe
five teams that have withdrawn in some capacity, possibly six.
And what that means is they've either lost a member
because you have to complete the whole course with all
four members of your team, or they have decided that
they've had enough and they are getting themselves back to
(24:51):
Gore riding a modified course back to Gore, or there's
a couple of teams that have lost a single member
and that are continuing along the race. They'll be unranked
because they don't have four members. And a couple of
teams have joined together having both lost two members and
are proceeding unranked as a team still racing, but they
won't be ranked because it's not the original team. So
(25:12):
we've still got a substantial portion of the field, and
I feel like there's only about seven or eight teams
now that are still what we consider full course, which
means they've gotten every checkpoint available to them on the course,
and some of those probably are behind the curve enough
time wise that they will not be able to continue
(25:34):
to get all the checkpoints as the race and why
you know, draws near. But so it'd be interesting to
see how many teams are.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Able to clear the course.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
There's a coveted position called Lantern Rouge, which is the
last team to get all the checkpoints, and we have
a special prize for them, but I don't really know
who it's going to be yet.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So seven pm Saturday, the teams have to be correct.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
They have to be back at the Gore Town and
Country Club by seven PM on Saturday. Many of them
will start arriving probably tomorrow morning. We think the fastest team,
Team RAB, almost done with the orienteering course. They will
have cleared the course. I expect they still get a
bit of travel left, but sometime on Friday morning, maybe
mid morning, I think they'll be back and gore.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That's pretty good going when the cutoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Not forever another twenty four rails though, even thirty six sils.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Yeah, that is good going. But that's kind of how
the course was designed that the best teams would be
able to finish in between five and five and a
half days. And mind you, Team RAB is arguably the
most celebrated adventure racing team in the world with I
think Chris and Stu, who are the two kind of
leaders of that team, have seven ten whatever world champions
(26:45):
championships each, and then they've got the other two people
on the team are extremely strong athletes that are no
strangers to the podium either. So it is a you know,
it would be the best team at any race in
the world, and so five and a half days for them,
they're probably thinking it's a very long race. They're used
to finishing much quicker than that at these races.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh wow, so we're rest of the teams today. You
say you're around Breakneck Road, so obviously Lawrence heading through
the Tampanui other likes.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
Yeah, so most of the riders are heading from Papatoa
up to Tapanui using a network of kind of back roads.
They don't get to take the main highway, getting checkpoints
along the way. They pass through Clinton, so a lot
of them that get through Clinton during the day will
be enjoying the dairy without question. And then yeah, they
headed through Tappannoui into Black Gully domain and then they've
(27:36):
got a big twenty four hour or more orienteering course
up in the Blue Mountains above Tapanui. And I mean
after that they push their bikes up and over the
Blue Mountains, riding down to Beaumont, paddle down to Clydevale
with their bikes on their raft, and then paddle their
way back to goar Hi.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Get on you, Andy, appreciate the update and thanks very
much for making yourself available. Congratulations on a hell of
an event and we're looking forward to seeing the conclusion
of the Magnificent Adventure race.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Absolutely, thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Andy Magnus Race, director of the Magnificent Adventure Race. First
teams due Beck and Gore tomorrow and cut off is
Saturday at seven.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Payment. That's good to NC. Anna Erwin's up next from
Beef for Lair, New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Daniel the Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef
and Lamb, New Zealand. Go to beef Lambenzed dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Anna Erwin joins us this afternoon on behalf of Beef
for Lair, New Zealand. And a good afternoon and what
a lovely day it is.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Yeah, great to be on here, thanks Andy. And yeah
it's blustery that got it's warm and it's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Firstly ground conditions where you were based over there in
central Southland.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Yeah, look the soil temperature dropped a little bit, was
so it's cool that temperatures. But it's looking pretty good
to end thank grass growths, Yeah, shaping up. There's enough
feed around definitely here in Central Southland, so people are
pretty happy and got some lovely stock out there, so yeah,
it's looking good.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's certainly a good time to be looking at
the industry and thinking what can I do just to
do those subtle weed tweaks before autumn the rams go
out and the likes and there's a workshop coming out
that may give you a couple of answers.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Yeah, that's right, Andy. So we've got one of our
beef and lamb Farming for Profit field days and the
title is Killed Built for Southland. So the idea is
to have a look across quite broadly at a farming system,
you know, tell you a few details, but yeah, just
to see where we can pull a few levers or
(29:48):
make some changes or even change what we're doing diversify
to really capture the benefits of prices out there end
to help our farms.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
How much tankering realistically would you want to do when
the going is good at the moment?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I mean, yes, sheep and beef work can well there
as well for a lot of operators. But what should
you be focusing on mainly at the moment you reckon?
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Yeah, that's a really good question. In gosh, it's probably
a pretty loaded one because it depends so much on
your farm system, doesn't it. And then in balancing out
all of the things like your animal health that can
you even do that because of the how is that
going to impact your land growth? Or if you're mating
hogots or whatever. So yeah, but you're certainly right. Sometimes
you don't want to just keep changing, changing, changing, because
(30:35):
then you don't know what's working. And that's definitely not
what this Field Days about is not reinventing the system.
It's just building on those existing strengths and maybe packing
up a few ideas, hopefully from our host farmers and
the speakers around around what you can do to to
help out this and practical ideas.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, yeah, for example, there a couple of things here,
a more consistent year round care hashlew get a few
tips around that, improved workload balance, everyone can work on that,
animal health advantages where wise workshops for example warreim burden
straight off atop of me here comes to mind and
practical insights to strength and long term business sustainability.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes, it's a big sentence, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, it's right.
So we've got Matthew Carroll, who's an experienced baker egg
consultant coming down from he's sort of based out of
Fielding office there, so he's a really experienced consultant and
looking across in a farmer in his own right, looking
across those different systems. So just some details here. It's
(31:39):
next Tuesday, the tenth of March, in the afternoon one
till four point thirty, and we're really privileged to be
going on to John and Will Lindsay's farm. It dipped
in there, Wakefield Farm. So yeah, so looking at some
of those practical things, Matthew's going to give us some
historical trends and these farm sheep, beefs and deer on
(32:02):
that farm, so some historical trends of where that's going.
And then he's done a dive into their financials, which
is a real PROBLEMD when people open their books up
to us actually and we can have a look at,
you know, what's worked and where they've made changes and
the impact that's head across their farm system. So yeah,
it's it's going to be a great day.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Putting your accounts out there in front of your peers
can be quite intimidating. So for anybody who's prepared to
do that, you've got to give them full credit.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Yeah, I totally agree. I just have so much respect
for these guys. They are top operators as well, Like
you're going to see some cool things. So not only
they have different species but they grow a few different crops,
you know, they have summer finishing clover, they finish kettle
and winter on beat and really a cool property. So
(32:53):
we do a farm tour. It's a good property. Have
a look around here. We go right up into the
hill country there at Dipton it's the deer running around
here and then down to the Irrogator flats. So it's
a pretty diverse farm in itself, which means that, yeah,
any farmers coming along are going to pack up something
relevant for the farm because it's almost everything all in one, so.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
That's really neat.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
So yeah, not only have we got Matthew from Baker
Egg there, we're going to be joined by Tom McFarlan,
who's probably a pretty familiar name to many Canterbury deer
farmer and it's great. We're actually collaborating with deer industry
in New Zealand on this one, so he'll be there
talking about his melior genetics and things just on the side,
and Entry Cochrane is going to pop along toe from
(33:36):
any Vets so to add into some of those things
around drenchs resistance mitigation things that the lindsays are doing.
So yeah, so it's going to be a full but
fantastic afternoon and finished with a barbecue.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So people need to reach for this event, of you.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Yeah, yeah, they do, thanks, and it's just catering and
things and so we know who's coming for drive for
the farm tour will get people combining into vehicles and yeah,
it'll be a great afternoon. So if you can pop
along to the beafin Lamb website or click your email link,
you've probably been sent and Rochester for that event next Tuesday,
(34:15):
and we'd love to see you there.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I call that the cheese roll factor.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
If you don't turn up and there's not enough stuff
under the grill, then you're going to be that person.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Right, yeah, yeah, that's right. And we like to have
some nice catering, so please do RSVP and then we
can yeah, we can look forward to having lots of
people there.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
And yeah, just to be aware of the conundrum bridge
there as well at Dipton.

Rugby Direct and the Likes, Rugby leg about to kick
off for Mark Kelly's on the Tools putting everything together
and joins us this afternoon MK good Afternoone always good
(35:58):
down in gtaown, Buddy Hey locks off the bat. How
good was finale last night? How good were the black
Caps overall?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yeah? Unbelievable, isn't it. It's for old South Africa. We're
really their bogey team when it comes to knock out
cricket at World Cups. And yeah, great bowling to start,
and yeah, what did we get it with forty three
deliveries or something ridiculously to go one hundred off thirty three.
That's that's the sort of stuff you can't even really
(36:24):
do on stick cricket back in the day. So awesome stuff.
And we'll wait and see if it's India or England
in the final. What is it Monday morning? So not
very exciting stuff for the black Caps. We've been up
and down in that T twenty World Cup, it's pretty
safe to say. But another final and let's hope we
can actually get a white ball World Champs.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
In full credit to the black Caps stuff for planning
this TEA twenty series with India prior to the Cricket
World Cup.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
It's paid off.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Yeah, yeah, well they definitely learned from their lessons in
that last World Cup in the West Indies and United
States where they just didn't have any warm up games
at all. Lost the first game to Afghanistan lost the
West Indies the next game and boom that was there.
Sort of tournament over. So now they've learned the lessons.
And yeah, it's great to see, as I said, those
(37:13):
fingers and toes cross that we can get this final
over the line. Because what was it, twiny We were
in the final against Australia and Dubai came up short
beer and yeah, o yi World Cup. We know what's
up in there in the two times we've been in
the finals, but I think what was it fourth time? Lucky?
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Dave Ready twenty four hours on being named All Blacks coach,
how do you view this appointment?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Got Actually I was. I was in the Rennie camp
from the outset. Other than the instead of the Jamie Joseph,
he's been more successful as a as a coach for
Around Loyal Super Rugby. He actually didn't do too bad
of a job in Australia. He was pretty unlucky to
get the can for Eddie Jones got twelve months out
(37:58):
of before the World Cup and if I think going
a bit sort of old school as well, but what
we got, I think it was there was one hundred
and something days before our first test against who was
at France and Christ Churches. It so no very exciting
and he's not going to play favorites. He said that
in his press conference. Test today it's going to be
(38:20):
it's going to be fascinating that first squad of.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
The year, the n A round New Zealand Warriors. Get
your campaign underway tomorrow night against the Roosters. No doubt
you'll be there as normal.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yes, yeah, well well my work ship now we can
find Saturday nights can only go about about half a
dozen home games this year, missing missing week one, but
I'll be watching it from the studio on one of
the TV's in there. But yeah, exciting stuff, a lot
of a lot of I think it's about three o
the first all rounds. We've got a home game, which
is which is good for the fans at Mount Smart.
(38:51):
Your Roosters first up. Here's a bit of still a
lot of injury Warrior worries and the Warriors was especially sevens.
We've just stood and they've keptain. Mitch Barnette back at
Arta Nier Correy's not playing Campario, one of our big signings.
He's got a couple of headnocks so he's still not
ready to go, but it's going to be exciting time.
(39:14):
Went to the season launch last week in Andrew Webster
and not talking Harry, so Jane Fisher, Harris and Mitch
By next spoken and they seem pretty confident. They think
they've got the catter to do it. They've been building nicely,
not just at the Warriors. They've got six six sort
of teams, feeder teams now inside the club and I
think the sort of plan to get our premiership to
(39:39):
Penrose Mount Smart is slowly becoming closer and closer with
what the club's building now.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
There are opponents tomorrow night. The Sydney Roaster is one
of the favorites for the competition.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Yes, yeah, but again they've got sort of players that
are on there last year of the contracts and then
was it Croddington's going over to Wallabies. They've got a
couple injuries, but it's weak grin. You never know what's
going to happen. If you cast your mind back to
what happened with the Warriors last year. They started in
Las Vegas and what lost by thirty points to the
(40:09):
canber Raiders and then twelve rounds later they were second
in the comp so you don't want to read too
much into it, and if you look into what they've
done in pre season two losses as well. But yeah,
it's going to be exciting eight o'clock oh tomorrow night,
it's yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be a big
what twenty five weeks of rugby lake to look forward to?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Andy, Who would be favorites for the UNIRAL this year?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
Well, you always look at the defending champions, right Brisband
Broncos have got a still very solid team, Penris Panthers
not probably going to have as many injuries sitting into
the season as they did last year. Those will be
the two that I'll circle. And it's sort of not
going out on a limb on this one because they've
they've been what defending champs and they've met in the
prelims last year and being if won what five titles
(40:56):
in a row sort of things. So I think it'll
be Penrith and.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Been for me because in Melbourne's still on the argument's
there they just can't get the job done and some
fantastic players there Cameron Munster and Harry Ground.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
They haven't won a premiership.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
Yeah, well I think it is. It's a very tough
era to win a premiership in the Narl was as
mentioned before, what was Pennith one four in a row,
five in a row. He's been sort of hasn't been
sort of dominated by a side like penwith Panthers in
a wee while really like if you look back in
the twenty tens to two thousand sort of twenties, it
(41:31):
was the Cronella Sharks one one, the Cowboys one one.
There's a whole lot of different winner Saint George rabbit
O's everybody sort of had a bit of a go
in from twenty twenty to twenty twenty six that we're
in now it's just been Penrith and Brisbane. So yeah,
I think it's been a bit of a tough era
for most teams to win a title, to get over
(41:52):
that line. But you can't rule them out. Camera Raiders,
that's another team had a fantastic season our regular season
last year and then they were and straight sets in
the playoffs. So no, it's going to be interesting. It's
one of those comps where the top of the table
can lose to the team of toftains and any sort
of round. So a very exciting times.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Good on you mean kay, always appreciate your time up
the wires.
Speaker 5 (42:15):
Thanks Andy, go to Bay as well.
Speaker 3 (42:20):

land can be a laughing matter.

island for ten years, but one day he sees a
beautiful woman rowing towards him, wearing a wet suit.

the waterproof pocket and pulls one out. He smokes it
with tears in his eyes. How long is in? Says
I've had a drink? Ten years. She undsips another pocket
and hands him a flask. He drinks and starts crying.
She slowly starts on zipping a wet suit and says,
how long it is since you've played around? The man

Grand Disaster.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
McMaster joins us once again thanks to batman of the
team at arb Rural, Greg, Good, afternoon, we missed you
last week.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You were away on a family bonding trip.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah. Good and and everybody. Yes the lighty that kept
the track with my son and daughter and yeah we
had a great, great time whether it played its part.
First day up through the post was hot, so it's
good to be in the bosh puffing a bit. The
next day was quite very windy from from the Luxmore
Hut over and down into the Irish Burn, but the
(03:11):
about seventy seventy five k and there winds there up
in the top and it's pretty hard. There's a couple
of people that got blind over. Actually it must have
just been there packed plus have been a bit heavy,
as certainly wasn't. But yes, survived that. The next day.
It was that night there was a very rough forecast
rained that night and that and the next day ten
minutes of rain and we walked out without any coats on.
(03:33):
So it was lucky with the weather. And you get
into the field and you just realized what a beautiful
place we live and looking down into my old hometown
tire now and we can talk about this another day,
but you know, you look there and once you get
up onto the top of Mount Luxborn, you look at
all the land and the shaw basin that was basically
brought in by the Lands and Survey and still should
(03:55):
be in the ballot farms and still should be. But
you know a lot of land when you get up
there and look at it, so yeah, great, you know,
it's a great example of what was done to get
our country garden.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Were the hat's busy, that's.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Before we have fifty fifty per heart and when you're
not the fastest one up there, you only get the
bloody top bunk so which they're happened to us both nights,
so we actually didn't stay in the third half because
we'd sort of we've got to our match fitness end
and just carried on the core of the moose in
Tiara or Alertus and there for a few points and
(04:30):
to rehydrate after ascent.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, how's everything looking at klosper In station. Haven't spoken
to you for a couple of weeks. And finally we've
had a run of decent weather for a couple of
days at least, oh we have it.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's a little bit cool in the mornings, but it's
a bit like summer used to be, you know, the
later the day, the hot of the sun, and that's
been the case the last few days. And things are
looking really good still that the feet sort of it's
dried up a little bit, but you know, still tendy
there and utilizations good. You know, we've still got water
running and yeahs are things are looking good. We've just
(05:06):
been up in our farm discussion group, went to Krale
on Tuesday and stay Tuesday night and back yesterday. But
we went up to look at a couple of places.
We went up to look at Mount Parker and also
to Cabafe, which is a lone star block there in Cherral.
(05:27):
So the subjects were when we were looking at collars
on cattle and basically on beef cows. And I don't know,
I think it's probably I didn't know much about it. Well,
I didn't know anything about it. No, a little bit
more now, but you know, it could be one of
the biggest changes. I think I've always said in my
time farming, you know, the electric fencing coming and was
(05:49):
a big change, and scanning, you know, great things that
we really utilize. And while these collars aren't for everybody,
it's pretty fascinating. And I was, yeah, it was just
so that's so interesting that the first place we went to,
you know, very big paddicks and they have the in
the hill country and so he had he had about
(06:10):
three hundred cows breeding kews. They were herepids with collars
on and cleaning these big blocks up and you know,
it's just virtual fencing, and obviously you've got waters involved
and on hill blocks it makes it a bit more difficult.
But I think one of the one of the biggest
things for that was the fact that that you know,
the cars you can't put a you can't put a
collar on a on a on a cattle beast until
(06:32):
it's two hundred k's or a year old. I think,
I'm like something like that. The cows are you know,
they are tall to clean up the hill and tag
and what have you, and they were doing that not
to the detriment of the calf. So that to me
was a big you know, that was a really that
was a big plus. And but the other interesting things
(06:53):
that cavafet which loans day you know, fourteen thousand news
and I don't know how many eight hundred and fifty
cows and other varieties of cattle, but or ages.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
One of the big things is you know, break feeding crops.
So it takes about three days to get a cow
or a Cattleb's used to it. And it's just when
they when they do the when they shift and it's
a bit of a little vibration on the on their
collar and there they go. But another interesting point, well
to me was the fact that like when when there
(07:26):
feeding winter crop, there's very little waste. It's because as
we all know, you know, you put your you put
your your fence up for they put the one wire
up and if it's ten meters or five meters or
whatever it is, but they all as soon as you
take the back fence down, they rush in and go
straight to the other fence and trample and crap on things.
This way with with this virtual fencing, you know, you
(07:49):
just you give them a meter and they just all
go through and just they're all eating in a line.
And you might change, you might, you know, you might
have to change that twice a day. But yeah, you
don't have to leave the office to do that. It's
it's incredible. In fact, we're in the in the in
the wa Taki Hotel. We had the fortune to stay
there and the young guy Josh Meegel who's sort of
(08:11):
the pr man, and he his parents have got quite
a big ball unit out of Momoro, and I was
sitting with him. We're having a bear six o'clock at
ninety sol show. I said, I'll shift these balls. So
he falls up on his falls up on us on
his phone and as you can see the dots of
sixty balls, he shifts the virtual fence and you go
(08:33):
back quart of our later to look at it, and
they've all gone through, so you know it certainly got
its place. I don't think, you know, we wouldn't. We
wouldn't use it on clothes burn But you know, another
example was cattle that are on you know, the station
over Wonakaway that has a lot of a lot of
river flats and the virtual fence that and the cattle
are out of the waterways and everything's tickety booth. So yeah,
(08:56):
really really fascinating.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
But you're quite the thick person these days. I mean
you've got a drone putting nights on today by the
sounds of it too.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh yeah, well the in the manual, but is shoveling
the stuff into the drone. But yeah, we've got that
seven hectiars of k a we have over it over
at the Home and Gully Road. It's it's looking really
good a little bit later, so we thought we might
just put a bit of a bit of ferret on it.
And it's it's it's hell. But I mean the bulky
(09:26):
put the stuff on there, so it's not it's not
like the north face of the IIG or anything. But
to save the marks and what have you, and I
thought it'd be a good thing to try. So yeah,
he's still be there about a bit later on this afternoon,
and we're going to put a tunnel and various and
see how they see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
See, your phone must be loaded up with all these apps, now.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Know.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
The only apps so I've got is the apple in
the truck that I had to smoke over. No, I think,
you know, it's probably a bit late for me. But
at Cavafe they've got you know, staff of thirteen or
fourteen and there's like fourteen thousand years and the rest
of the cattle of big numbers, but you know, and
it's all young people there and they're all into this.
(10:09):
You know, everything's on their phone. So the junior shepherds
know to go, you know, what the week's going to be.
How many shifts? Someone goes around now and again and
will check obviously, But you know, I think today's general.
You know that this this generation now that are taking over,
they've got all that all that technology, the fingertips, and
thank Christ, it wasn't my time because i'd be you know,
(10:31):
they can even you know, but these some of these
collars now are are going to be able to actually measure,
you know, how much that much covers and paddocks and
as I said to my group, Well, we used to
go on the you know, it wasn't about two thousand
cages to d I matter for the stars on the
Spates Camp. Yeah yeah, and you weren't. But I didn't
(10:52):
realize you weren't meant to drink of Spates camp before
you did that. But so once IK of that sort
of out was a bit more reliable.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Hey, get on your ground.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
We'll catching next week dog trial results to be back
on the table.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Normality war resume. We always appreciate your time.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
No, it's great. I was a bit of new technology.
I came back absolutely both and I just thought it
was so good. And you know what a great place,
the young farmers and the and the people that invent
all the stuff and doing and the guy that came
out of Rocket Lab. So yeah, it gives you a
better faith.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Grammic Master, thanks to ABI Rural.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next on the muster, we'll go to South Otago Nidgea Warldhead.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Farms between bal Cluther and Milton. We catch up.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
This interview is brought to you by Agricenter South Branches
in Lawnville, Gore, Cromwell, Milton and Ranfurly. Drop by your
local agri center South Branch today Niger.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Your Warldhead farmers in South Otago between bu Cluther and Milton.
Just head towards the hills for a weber and you'll.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Find u place somewhere in amongst the mix GI day nights,
how I and day like this. You can't really complain
as good as.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
One of those short sleeve shirt and shorts from first
thing in the morning when you walk get the door.
Day to day. It's been we've been looking forward to them.
It's been awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, take the w's while you've got them. So ground
conditions the hell are you looking good?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yeah? No, ground conditions are good. It was interesting. We
made our whole crop silene last week and you know,
the contract who comes from a cloud var away was
sort of saying, you know, it was amazing how much
weater it was over here than then home. And then
they called a US today to pick up a tractor
in a rake that was still sitting here and they
said the same things. You know, you're a lot greener
(12:40):
than than likes the cloud bar. It's it's a bit
drier over there. So yeah, we're still you know, yeah,
we've still got plenty of moisture. There's there's no sign
of dret here anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So like so if you fake hovers and that lambs
are doing pretty good or what else is going on.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Such, Yeah, limbs, limbs are doing well. We killed four
fifty four sixty lambs off cropperlier in the week and
they killed pretty well to what was it turned in
thirteen dollars or something in their hands, So I'll take that.
And everything else is pretty much just sort of spread out,
got blocks and just shoffing them around. And they're blocks,
(13:17):
you know, like the view limbs have got or set
two five five paddicks and they'll just go round and round,
and I'm just shoffing some works lambs a bit closer
to the yard this afternoon. Then I'll I'll get drenched
in the morning and same thing. They've got three or
four paddocks and then they'll be in a week's time
they'll go to the next three or four. Just keep
them rotating around and giving them plenty of space and
(13:41):
feed and water, and they seem to be doing well. Yeah,
So it's probably just use at the moment, really just
trying to keep the used moving, put as much weight
on them as we.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Can trying to get there flashing before the boys go out.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, we assure them do about ten days ago and
then there was a cold week. And I don't think
they're lot too much. I just reckoned they're a bit
lighter than where they should be and they're definitely too light,
a lot lighter than where where a lot of them
to be for the rams, So trying to put trying
to put some weight on them, you know, not making
them do any too too much hard work. If anything
(14:17):
needs if any panics need tidied up, we're just running
behind them with the topper and and top it, cut
some thistles off and a bit of rent feed and
keep the us moving to try and put weight on.
So yeah, hopefully have a bit of warmth like this.
The feedal hard en up. I reckon feed was going
through stock, what is going through stock a bit? And
(14:38):
yeah there's actually the other thing we were just yelling
about it before went on air that the worms as well.
Was I was meant to a feak weekend reduction tests
and some new lembs at weaning, and I forgot about
it and drenched everything. So I just said some new
lembs and yesterday and tested seen of them for you
to make sure the levels were high enough to do
(14:58):
a reduction test, and the vetraing and said she'd done
three samples and stop doing any more samples because the
lowest was at two thousand. So there's a lot of
worms around and I reckon that'll be holding some of
the us back as well. So next week's jobs running
us through the yards and get some lights off the bottom.
And I hate drenching us, but I might have to
drink some of the light ones just to give them
(15:20):
a just to give them a chance.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You know, So how often would you drink you using
if you say you don't like drenching.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Them, I'd never like we are we hand for lights,
and the odd light triplet might get a squirt before
landing it set stocking, you know, we might do one
hundred and then this time, like the titis will probably
get a drench when they come in for their camp
in about three weeks time, because I reckon the champion
the top so I can knock them around, and it's
(15:46):
a time when you know their worms can get on
top of them. So we'll probably give them a good
squirt then to set them up and they'll hopefully be
their last one for life. And like I say, just
the rest of and the US would usually get nothing.
But in a year like this where you know there
are a few lights, like we win some pretty heavy lambs.
(16:07):
I think the lambs sucked it all out of the
US and we were pretty dry and ivember and the
seamult tight covers, so that feels some weight off them.
You know, We're just need to do everything we can
to put that weight back on them. So we'll probably yeah,
try him for of undrenched US and with those lights
(16:29):
to loot that any resistant wounds that those US might
squw it out, but just ye try and do what
we can to keep production, guarantee some production for next year.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Is that the main reason for not drenching Nis just
resistance reasons?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Yeah, a long term it's a long term play. I
think I've used capsules once and I don't think i've
either drenched ever you on the farm. So yeah, it
is a resistance thing. Like we've done two or three
fecal equal week out reduction test since we've been home
and sort of just over ten years, and like our
(17:09):
resistance levels have been improving, if you know what I mean.
So the resistance has been dropping, so it'll be interesting
to see what this year is. One tells us. So
it must be must be sort of working. And you know,
like in an ideal world you preadyear it doesn't need
it doesn't need drenched, that can handle a bit of
(17:31):
You still produce put weight on this time of year
with the with the worm burden challenge. But yeah, like
you've got to be realistic as well. Some of those years,
like I say, if they're a bit light, and you
know these they're hoovering up a huge volume of worm
larvae after the lambs, and you know you can use
(17:51):
some story somewhere along the line. You've got to put
your ideological side of things to one side and just
do what's best for the animal and every now and
then to give them a squirt.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So how often would you put the use through the
yards just to take the bottom twenty or fifty off
each time, for example.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Trying to at least monthly this time year. Ah, And
it's also this time the year sets your production for
the next year of body conditions. So the more often
you get them through the yards, the more often you
know what's going on. There's always the odd poking lamb
and a maxim So it's good plan to get them
out and keep an eye on body condition. I'm probably
not as good at weighing my ues as what I
(18:29):
probably should be, and you keep to keep an eye
out on their weight, so I probably should do that
every time they're in the yards. But and yet, yeah,
just it's essentially it's a body condition score. Every time
they come in. You just put your hand on if
you like the sean so you can see them. That's
really good. You just whip the lights off the bottom.
And usually if you're doing it right, every time they
(18:51):
come in, you should be taking some lights back out
of the light mob and putting it with the fat mobe.
You shouldn't be taking more skinnies out, if you know
what I mean. The main mob should be on the improved.
So yeah, it's just, yes, it's an important time you
to keep an eye on what's going on with your
what's the most important stock class, which is the breeding.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Us just finally knowlige.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think we just got to acknowledge the positives that
are happening in the sect and the rural sector at
the moment.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Oh, it's a fantastic year. And that I regon this
is going to be the season that we yae that
we all talk about until we're old men. Yeah, Like
farmers live and die on production, the weather and the
prices we receive for our produce, and everything's in our
favor this year. Obviously acknowledging some of the guys around
(19:37):
northern South and they had a tough year for moisture,
but probably ninety eight percent of the listeners out there
have been having a fantastic year with weather, obviously, product
price as a record, and around here I know were
we were pretty good, pretty good tailing percentages, so the
production was pretty sharp too, So that's good. Yeah, Like
that's I think I said it modestaid last time. It's
(19:59):
makes it a whole a lot easy to get out
of bed in the morning when you know you're making
financial headway as well as physical headway.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Right, Absolutely, better leave it there, mate, You enjoy the
afternoon noise, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, do you run, enjoy the sun. We'll catch you
next week.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Nigera wad head in South Otago.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Interestly, he talks about the worm situation as well, So
if you want to go and test the girls but
concerned about wearing burdens of the life.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, we've talked about it a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Don't need any more better reason to do it when
the season's being like it's been. Andy Magnus is up
next talking to the Magnificent Race that is happening around
Gore at the moment or Eastern Southland.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Always have a welcome back to the Muster Pinball Wizard
there by elt in John Pinball being the operative word
with a lot of these athletes and the Magnificent Adventure
being thrown around courtesy of Mother NIGHTSUA. Andy Magnus once
(21:04):
again joins us Rice to Richta for the Magnificent Venture Race. Andy, good, afternoon.
It's been an interesting week.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
It has been an interesting week. Indeed, Yeah, it feels
like more than a week to me, to be fair,
but yeah, it's anyway, we had a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, from your perspective, has it been stressful.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
For me? It's been extremely stressful. But we've got a
fantastic crew and we've been sharing the load, which is
the only thing that makes it possible to be to
be honest.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So, how many people are actually involved with the Magnificent
Race A size? Why volunteers or people helping out.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
So we've probably got a crew, including the media crew,
the core crew, and the various volunteers, probably of twenty
five to thirty to I'd have to take a you know,
I'd say it's around that number. Yes, it's a big
effort by a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
So the way was playing ball at the moment, but
that wasn't the case earlier in the wake. How did
the teams.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Fear well, So the first two days were just cold
and wet, and then it was the third day when
it was nice and the first sunny day warmed up
a little bit. But then we had a big swell
on the coast. It was when teams were down the coast,
a lot of wind, and we had some carnages. Teams
were on the water and teams were coming into land
(22:24):
and lots of swimmers putting their boats and yeah, so
it was it was pretty taxing, but we got through it.
We had a couple of swimmers that were in the
water for a while before we were able to get
them out, and so they were flown out to Dunedin
and checked out at the hospital there, but they'd actually
(22:44):
rejoined the race and spirits. Yeah, so I mean that's
it's adventurracing. It's so long that they were okay. They
got a bit of a shock from being pulled along
by the current down the coast, and and so they
just wanted to you know, the gold. We just want
to make sure they're okay. And so they've come. They've
decided to skip any further coastal legs, which is fair enough.
(23:07):
They had enough of that, and so they've they've jumped
on the bike yesterday afternoon and they're probably heading up
towards Black Gully now. And yeah, we had we lose
carnage on the coast. It's big swell, lots of exciting
action down there. Teams loved it. It was probably the
highlight of the race. The coast doing leg but yes,
and dramatic swims and people getting thrown against the rocks,
(23:30):
a couple of you know, bash knees and things like that,
but all them all to be expected given given what
the racers were traversing.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Getting against the rocks. That's what you call being suckers
for punishment.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Yeah, And I mean that's it's it's it's a it's
a matter of timing, you know, it's it's the racers
are having to time things with waves, and we have
safety crew there and and teams know what they're getting into.
They have wet suits and life jackets and helmets. So yeah,
you know, it's kind of like falling out from mountain bike.
So it happens, and everybody is okay, and everybody's off
(24:06):
the coast deering stage. So now it's onto just finding
the last checkpoints in Black Gully, and so we're breathing
a sigh of relief that that we got through that
those stages with all the plans working and everybody, you know,
just bruised and battered, but no worse for wear at
the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So how many teams that pulled down a rice far?
Or is everybody so in contention?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
No, No, everybody's not selling contention. We have I think
that we have four. I believe we have four, maybe
five teams that have withdrawn in some capacity, possibly six.
And what that means is they've either lost a member
because you have to complete the whole course with all
four members of your team, or they have decided that
they've had enough and they are getting themselves back to
(24:51):
Gore riding a modified course back to Gore, or there's
a couple of teams that have lost a single member
and that are continuing along the race. They'll be unranked
because they don't have four members. And a couple of
teams have joined together having both lost two members and
are proceeding unranked as a team still racing, but they
won't be ranked because it's not the original team. So
(25:12):
we've still got a substantial portion of the field, and
I feel like there's only about seven or eight teams
now that are still what we consider full course, which
means they've gotten every checkpoint available to them on the course,
and some of those probably are behind the curve enough
time wise that they will not be able to continue
(25:34):
to get all the checkpoints as the race and why
you know, draws near. But so it'd be interesting to
see how many teams are.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Able to clear the course.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
There's a coveted position called Lantern Rouge, which is the
last team to get all the checkpoints, and we have
a special prize for them, but I don't really know
who it's going to be yet.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So seven pm Saturday, the teams have to be correct.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
They have to be back at the Gore Town and
Country Club by seven PM on Saturday. Many of them
will start arriving probably tomorrow morning. We think the fastest team,
Team RAB, almost done with the orienteering course. They will
have cleared the course. I expect they still get a
bit of travel left, but sometime on Friday morning, maybe
mid morning, I think they'll be back and gore.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
That's pretty good going when the cutoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Not forever another twenty four rails though, even thirty six sils.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Yeah, that is good going. But that's kind of how
the course was designed that the best teams would be
able to finish in between five and five and a
half days. And mind you, Team RAB is arguably the
most celebrated adventure racing team in the world with I
think Chris and Stu, who are the two kind of
leaders of that team, have seven ten whatever world champions
(26:45):
championships each, and then they've got the other two people
on the team are extremely strong athletes that are no
strangers to the podium either. So it is a you know,
it would be the best team at any race in
the world, and so five and a half days for them,
they're probably thinking it's a very long race. They're used
to finishing much quicker than that at these races.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh wow, so we're rest of the teams today. You
say you're around Breakneck Road, so obviously Lawrence heading through
the Tampanui other likes.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
Yeah, so most of the riders are heading from Papatoa
up to Tapanui using a network of kind of back roads.
They don't get to take the main highway, getting checkpoints
along the way. They pass through Clinton, so a lot
of them that get through Clinton during the day will
be enjoying the dairy without question. And then yeah, they
headed through Tappannoui into Black Gully domain and then they've
(27:36):
got a big twenty four hour or more orienteering course
up in the Blue Mountains above Tapanui. And I mean
after that they push their bikes up and over the
Blue Mountains, riding down to Beaumont, paddle down to Clydevale
with their bikes on their raft, and then paddle their
way back to goar Hi.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Get on you, Andy, appreciate the update and thanks very
much for making yourself available. Congratulations on a hell of
an event and we're looking forward to seeing the conclusion
of the Magnificent Adventure race.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Absolutely, thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Andy Magnus Race, director of the Magnificent Adventure Race. First
teams due Beck and Gore tomorrow and cut off is
Saturday at seven.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Payment. That's good to NC. Anna Erwin's up next from
Beef for Lair, New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Daniel the Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef
and Lamb, New Zealand. Go to beef Lambenzed dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Anna Erwin joins us this afternoon on behalf of Beef
for Lair, New Zealand. And a good afternoon and what
a lovely day it is.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Yeah, great to be on here, thanks Andy. And yeah
it's blustery that got it's warm and it's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Firstly ground conditions where you were based over there in
central Southland.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Yeah, look the soil temperature dropped a little bit, was
so it's cool that temperatures. But it's looking pretty good
to end thank grass growths, Yeah, shaping up. There's enough
feed around definitely here in Central Southland, so people are
pretty happy and got some lovely stock out there, so yeah,
it's looking good.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, it's certainly a good time to be looking at
the industry and thinking what can I do just to
do those subtle weed tweaks before autumn the rams go
out and the likes and there's a workshop coming out
that may give you a couple of answers.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Yeah, that's right, Andy. So we've got one of our
beef and lamb Farming for Profit field days and the
title is Killed Built for Southland. So the idea is
to have a look across quite broadly at a farming system,
you know, tell you a few details, but yeah, just
to see where we can pull a few levers or
(29:48):
make some changes or even change what we're doing diversify
to really capture the benefits of prices out there end
to help our farms.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
How much tankering realistically would you want to do when
the going is good at the moment?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I mean, yes, sheep and beef work can well there
as well for a lot of operators. But what should
you be focusing on mainly at the moment you reckon?
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Yeah, that's a really good question. In gosh, it's probably
a pretty loaded one because it depends so much on
your farm system, doesn't it. And then in balancing out
all of the things like your animal health that can
you even do that because of the how is that
going to impact your land growth? Or if you're mating
hogots or whatever. So yeah, but you're certainly right. Sometimes
you don't want to just keep changing, changing, changing, because
(30:35):
then you don't know what's working. And that's definitely not
what this Field Days about is not reinventing the system.
It's just building on those existing strengths and maybe packing
up a few ideas, hopefully from our host farmers and
the speakers around around what you can do to to
help out this and practical ideas.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, yeah, for example, there a couple of things here,
a more consistent year round care hashlew get a few
tips around that, improved workload balance, everyone can work on that,
animal health advantages where wise workshops for example warreim burden
straight off atop of me here comes to mind and
practical insights to strength and long term business sustainability.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes, it's a big sentence, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, it's right.
So we've got Matthew Carroll, who's an experienced baker egg
consultant coming down from he's sort of based out of
Fielding office there, so he's a really experienced consultant and
looking across in a farmer in his own right, looking
across those different systems. So just some details here. It's
(31:39):
next Tuesday, the tenth of March, in the afternoon one
till four point thirty, and we're really privileged to be
going on to John and Will Lindsay's farm. It dipped
in there, Wakefield Farm. So yeah, so looking at some
of those practical things, Matthew's going to give us some
historical trends and these farm sheep, beefs and deer on
(32:02):
that farm, so some historical trends of where that's going.
And then he's done a dive into their financials, which
is a real PROBLEMD when people open their books up
to us actually and we can have a look at,
you know, what's worked and where they've made changes and
the impact that's head across their farm system. So yeah,
it's it's going to be a great day.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Putting your accounts out there in front of your peers
can be quite intimidating. So for anybody who's prepared to
do that, you've got to give them full credit.
Speaker 9 (32:33):
Yeah, I totally agree. I just have so much respect
for these guys. They are top operators as well, Like
you're going to see some cool things. So not only
they have different species but they grow a few different crops,
you know, they have summer finishing clover, they finish kettle
and winter on beat and really a cool property. So
(32:53):
we do a farm tour. It's a good property. Have
a look around here. We go right up into the
hill country there at Dipton it's the deer running around
here and then down to the Irrogator flats. So it's
a pretty diverse farm in itself, which means that, yeah,
any farmers coming along are going to pack up something
relevant for the farm because it's almost everything all in one, so.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
That's really neat.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
So yeah, not only have we got Matthew from Baker
Egg there, we're going to be joined by Tom McFarlan,
who's probably a pretty familiar name to many Canterbury deer
farmer and it's great. We're actually collaborating with deer industry
in New Zealand on this one, so he'll be there
talking about his melior genetics and things just on the side,
and Entry Cochrane is going to pop along toe from
(33:36):
any Vets so to add into some of those things
around drenchs resistance mitigation things that the lindsays are doing.
So yeah, so it's going to be a full but
fantastic afternoon and finished with a barbecue.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So people need to reach for this event, of you.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Yeah, yeah, they do, thanks, and it's just catering and
things and so we know who's coming for drive for
the farm tour will get people combining into vehicles and yeah,
it'll be a great afternoon. So if you can pop
along to the beafin Lamb website or click your email link,
you've probably been sent and Rochester for that event next Tuesday,
(34:15):
and we'd love to see you there.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I call that the cheese roll factor.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
If you don't turn up and there's not enough stuff
under the grill, then you're going to be that person.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Right, yeah, yeah, that's right. And we like to have
some nice catering, so please do RSVP and then we
can yeah, we can look forward to having lots of
people there.
Speaker 2 (34:33):

and joins us this afternoon MK good Afternoone always good
(35:58):
down in gtaown, Buddy Hey locks off the bat. How
good was finale last night? How good were the black
Caps overall?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yeah? Unbelievable, isn't it. It's for old South Africa. We're
really their bogey team when it comes to knock out
cricket at World Cups. And yeah, great bowling to start,
and yeah, what did we get it with forty three
deliveries or something ridiculously to go one hundred off thirty three.
That's that's the sort of stuff you can't even really
(36:24):
do on stick cricket back in the day. So awesome stuff.
And we'll wait and see if it's India or England
in the final. What is it Monday morning? So not
very exciting stuff for the black Caps. We've been up
and down in that T twenty World Cup, it's pretty
safe to say. But another final and let's hope we
can actually get a white ball World Champs.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
In full credit to the black Caps stuff for planning
this TEA twenty series with India prior to the Cricket
World Cup.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
It's paid off.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Yeah, yeah, well they definitely learned from their lessons in
that last World Cup in the West Indies and United
States where they just didn't have any warm up games
at all. Lost the first game to Afghanistan lost the
West Indies the next game and boom that was there.
Sort of tournament over. So now they've learned the lessons.
And yeah, it's great to see, as I said, those
(37:13):
fingers and toes cross that we can get this final
over the line. Because what was it, twiny We were
in the final against Australia and Dubai came up short
beer and yeah, o yi World Cup. We know what's
up in there in the two times we've been in
the finals, but I think what was it fourth time? Lucky?
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Dave Ready twenty four hours on being named All Blacks coach,
how do you view this appointment?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Got Actually I was. I was in the Rennie camp
from the outset. Other than the instead of the Jamie Joseph,
he's been more successful as a as a coach for
Around Loyal Super Rugby. He actually didn't do too bad
of a job in Australia. He was pretty unlucky to
get the can for Eddie Jones got twelve months out
(37:58):
of before the World Cup and if I think going
a bit sort of old school as well, but what
we got, I think it was there was one hundred
and something days before our first test against who was
at France and Christ Churches. It so no very exciting
and he's not going to play favorites. He said that
in his press conference. Test today it's going to be
(38:20):
it's going to be fascinating that first squad of.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
The year, the n A round New Zealand Warriors. Get
your campaign underway tomorrow night against the Roosters. No doubt
you'll be there as normal.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yes, yeah, well well my work ship now we can
find Saturday nights can only go about about half a
dozen home games this year, missing missing week one, but
I'll be watching it from the studio on one of
the TV's in there. But yeah, exciting stuff, a lot
of a lot of I think it's about three o
the first all rounds. We've got a home game, which
is which is good for the fans at Mount Smart.
(38:51):
Your Roosters first up. Here's a bit of still a
lot of injury Warrior worries and the Warriors was especially sevens.
We've just stood and they've keptain. Mitch Barnette back at
Arta Nier Correy's not playing Campario, one of our big signings.
He's got a couple of headnocks so he's still not
ready to go, but it's going to be exciting time.
(39:14):
Went to the season launch last week in Andrew Webster
and not talking Harry, so Jane Fisher, Harris and Mitch
By next spoken and they seem pretty confident. They think
they've got the catter to do it. They've been building nicely,
not just at the Warriors. They've got six six sort
of teams, feeder teams now inside the club and I
think the sort of plan to get our premiership to
(39:39):
Penrose Mount Smart is slowly becoming closer and closer with
what the club's building now.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
There are opponents tomorrow night. The Sydney Roaster is one
of the favorites for the competition.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Yes, yeah, but again they've got sort of players that
are on there last year of the contracts and then
was it Croddington's going over to Wallabies. They've got a
couple injuries, but it's weak grin. You never know what's
going to happen. If you cast your mind back to
what happened with the Warriors last year. They started in
Las Vegas and what lost by thirty points to the
(40:09):
canber Raiders and then twelve rounds later they were second
in the comp so you don't want to read too
much into it, and if you look into what they've
done in pre season two losses as well. But yeah,
it's going to be exciting eight o'clock oh tomorrow night,
it's yeah, I'm excited. It's going to be a big
what twenty five weeks of rugby lake to look forward to?
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Andy, Who would be favorites for the UNIRAL this year?
Speaker 5 (40:33):
Well, you always look at the defending champions, right Brisband
Broncos have got a still very solid team, Penris Panthers
not probably going to have as many injuries sitting into
the season as they did last year. Those will be
the two that I'll circle. And it's sort of not
going out on a limb on this one because they've
they've been what defending champs and they've met in the
prelims last year and being if won what five titles
(40:56):
in a row sort of things. So I think it'll
be Penrith and.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Been for me because in Melbourne's still on the argument's
there they just can't get the job done and some
fantastic players there Cameron Munster and Harry Ground.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
They haven't won a premiership.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
Yeah, well I think it is. It's a very tough
era to win a premiership in the Narl was as
mentioned before, what was Pennith one four in a row,
five in a row. He's been sort of hasn't been
sort of dominated by a side like penwith Panthers in
a wee while really like if you look back in
the twenty tens to two thousand sort of twenties, it
(41:31):
was the Cronella Sharks one one, the Cowboys one one.
There's a whole lot of different winner Saint George rabbit
O's everybody sort of had a bit of a go
in from twenty twenty to twenty twenty six that we're
in now it's just been Penrith and Brisbane. So yeah,
I think it's been a bit of a tough era
for most teams to win a title, to get over
(41:52):
that line. But you can't rule them out. Camera Raiders,
that's another team had a fantastic season our regular season
last year and then they were and straight sets in
the playoffs. So no, it's going to be interesting. It's
one of those comps where the top of the table
can lose to the team of toftains and any sort
of round. So a very exciting times.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Good on you mean kay, always appreciate your time up
the wires.
Speaker 5 (42:15):
Thanks Andy, go to Bay as well.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
