I'm there and blasting McCrow there a cry low. Just
good afternoon, and welcome to the master on Hokinui Andy
muy here until two o'clock thanks to Peterson Ennix. Welcome

We're going to look at the weather shortly, but before
we do. The Little River Band there's the music today now.

seventy five, achieving commercial success in both Australia and the US.

repertoire of music.

light rain with breezy westerlies. Two and eight Thursday cloudy
with breezing or westerlyes four and eleven, Friday eight showers
with westerlies forming three and ten, and Saturday rain with
breezy Westlees six and ten. So not the best weather
for the middle of September, but nonetheless go through, do
(01:29):
your due diligence, are regarding the forecasts and stuff. Hopefully
if you're in lambing mode, things are going okay, you're
getting through carving now. Everything's been going tickety bill as well,
So it's just a bit of a spoe we're having
with weather at the moment. So temperatures Clinton six point seven,
Northern South and six point eight, Riverton eight point six,
tian Now seven, Titoroa eight, wintered seven point one at

(02:54):
Otago this afternoon to catch up with Nigel Woodhead, who
farms between Balcluester and Milton.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
No, it's good afternoon, Yeah, afternoon Andy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
How's everything up there in South Andtigo? Are you getting
through this weeether?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Okay, Oh, it's not too bad. Yesterday was nice.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You can.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, we'll take a couple of weeks and nice days
you stay. But no, it's not too bad. Today. It's
a bit of moisture around, but nothing major. So yeah,
we'd take along. Not too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You're still a couple of days out from Lemming starting.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, officially say, but there's probably there be lambs and
every second petic type thing around the place now, So yeah,
there's new twins and new singles floating around, so that's good. Yeah,
slowly but surely getting into it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
The sheep are pottering away, I suppose is the term.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, just starting to think about it really, But yeah,
so by the weekend or it will have broken loose
and will be into it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So is that your focus at the moment, just getting
ready for that?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, pretty much. We've basically spend most of the morning
doing a full leap of everything making Troy Ring's okay,
and yeah, just keeping it for bearings and casts really,
and then last thing at night whip brown for casts.
I think last night there was four or five of them,
So if worth doing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
At night as far as casts, what would you normally
give them a day?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
At the moment, Uh, yeah, we're getting a handful of
sort of you know, I think I tipped over a
couple this morning and four or five last night. So yeah,
we don't tend to get too many carts. We usually
don't tend to fit enough sheep. But the user in
pretty good nickness here, and there's a fever of feed
around so yeah, and yeah, they're worth a few bucks
(04:40):
this year, so it's good to try and keep them
a life.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Do you hang on the cast or do you give
them a tag and get rid of them? A lot
of people have different theories.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh now I just roll them over away they go.
Keep my fingers crossed that everything's all good. So I
don't think it's something worth culling for. I don't think
getting cast has anything to do with you need it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Just fat sheep, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Oh yeah, fat sheep, And yeah we get you know,
you know the odd Indians around the place and on
top of a flat ridge sheep camp or an overflow
sort of line or something that you know, not always,
but often there's there's something in the environment that they
happen to get down and lie down on it and
can't get back up again as well. So yeah, I
(05:25):
don't I don't think it's genetic.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Just a sheep being a sheep in September.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, yeah, you know the old the old saying that
sheep has been turing and sixty four days a year
trying to work out how to die. But we've been
pretty good. Like it is a tough time year, this
time of year, Like I reckon about any sent of
deaths occur in the in the month around Lembing, But
we've been we've been pretty good. I haven't had too
(05:51):
many beerings, just that we snattering of bearings and I'll
keep most of them alive. So yeah, I think we're
we're looking all right for lembing this year.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So what do you do to your bearings? You got retainers?
You just use clips? What's the plan?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, we sort of make a bit of a harness
thing that goes around the middle and then down each
side of the back end with just out a like
juke baling twine and then you know, after we see
them lamb a couple of days later, if we can
catch them, we'll just catch them and cut it off,
or otherwise as you're running through the tailing pen will
cut it off. And yeah, like from now on, those
(06:26):
us that have bearings, we'll catch them, fix them and
then they go back and get lamb close to the
house with the freezers and then then get killed and
killed in December with the freezer. You's so, yeah, we've
never never kept any bearings after that first season, after
they've hopefully reared a lamb or two.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So, what's a good lambing tip you've got for people
on the lambing beat this afternoon? Knows, because there can
be a bit of a hard yacker just to break
out with them, innost Andy, what do you do differently
to break that up?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
A couple of things. I make sure there's lots of
snacks and coffee at my wallshed, and like, I don't
stop for smoko all through the year, but at Lemming
time I do. And I try not to work too
much harder at lemming time, try not to create any
more stress than you need to. But it is a
(07:19):
busy time year and there's a lot going on, especially
if the weather gets rough. So I've got like a
like a coffee cup that comes with me on the bike,
and I'm taking coffee with me in the morning and
it's pretty good, like it usually keeps coffee warming to
almost lunchtime. And then have a couple of snacks, some
good caality movesy bars and biscuits and one square meals
(07:41):
type thing, and always a few lollies as well for
later on. And yeah, make a point of if I'm
cruising past the yard, just take ten minutes to stop
and make make a new kappa if you if I
need to, and have a snack and give for me.
It's about giving myself something to look forward to during
the day as well. But yeah, I don't know, I
(08:04):
probably don't do as quite an intensive Lemming beat as
like my parents did or what we did when we
were kids. You know, I don't, yeah, like you, mothering
on and things. I try and avoid that if I can,
Like I just you've got to be a certain type
of person to be mothering on lambs and that sort
of thing, and that's just not my jams. So that
(08:26):
I think that sort of helps. I try not to
get too stressed out about it. But like I say,
you know, lambs and yous are worth a bit this year,
so try and keep as many alive as we can.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And just finally probably past coming to Mark Dylan play
I'm an Extraordinary competing at the World Champs over in
Prague over the week. He did really good, really well.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't talked to Mark, but
I've been keeping up with the with the Facebook posts.
It sounds like conditions are really, really really tough, bending
culture stalks and skimmer storks and things flared out in
the practice. So yeah, it sounds like it was. It
was tough, and but just making it to the World's
(09:07):
it was a big effort. Not only winning winning the
news yells is probably the easy, but you know, all
the fundraising and you've got to send the track on
the other side of the world and then getting there
and all the practice and you know it's it's not
cheap and it's it's a big undertaking. So yeah, well
done to Mark, and of course that Bobby Murdens as well
from timorrow he was in the Reversible. They both both
(09:27):
did pretty well buil accounts in some tough conditions. So yeah,
I would say Mark will be coming home to get
stuck into some spring work. He's had a sort of
month or so away. I'd say, you'll be you'll be
ready to get stuck into the spring.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and he gets to go again next year as well.
How we leave it there, nige're the best on the
beat this afternoon and just getting organized day.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
No worries, Thanks Andy, and yeah, all the best out there.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Hope.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I hope the weather stays all right.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
NIGEA what head farming and South Pantaga. You just got
to mess us through before as well. Alan Savage listens
in regularly saying down on his neck of the woods,
there not far number Cargo, it's a little bit damp.
Always good to get your correspondence, Allen. We carry on
with the afternoon. Cal Stewart is up next from Open Country.
(10:29):
Welcome back to the Muster. Our next guest is Carl Stewart.
Milk's a play manager for Open Country. The song is
Lonesome Loser. Well, good afternoon, Carl. It seems as though
open Country has been doing anything but losing lately, kicking
a lot of goals.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, good afternoon, Good afternoon to your listeners. Great for
the music for the intro, thanks very much, and certainly
have been out there in the media for the last
the last two weeks anyway, so all for the right purposes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Absolutely. Of course we're talking about Matara Velly Milk this
week through a couple of weeks ago, but Maraca as well.
Tell us more about this.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Yeah, so obviously, I think usually an algae weab, but
it's like getting your first farm and you think your
roses are all good and you know you've you've done
your best, and all of a sudden, I know the
name of knocks on your back door and says we're
selling you know if you want to buy us, And
it's pretty much exactly what happened, really, to be fair,
and so the opportunity that come along was a great opportunity,
(11:27):
and I think strategically and logistically for open Country, it
was a perfect fit between the factories and Wanganui and
certainly horror to and and in the North Island, so
I think there was a thumbs up or around. So
it was a no brainer really, and.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The Tara Valley milk a couple of weeks on, you
guys will be pretty chucked about this, oh very much so.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And obviously that was that was a ten months sort
of scenario and they're making a bit of work's going
on behind the scenes there and it was nice to
get across the line and get down into the In
the public, there was lots of rumors one around of
course is it always always does. But yeah, we've had
the team from the North Island down from the Cheerlor
madograin and and Mark Dellatore come down and spoke to
those material supplies and yep, at the stage of there's
(12:13):
no change whatsoever hand on heart stuff. It's well, we'll
continue to honor what we have to honor and we'll
just must well be a bit of a bit of
fold of the open country. I suppose culture back into
the into that company.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So logistically it made sense just for your guys portfolio,
oh correct.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
You know, certainly, you know we we we go to
the tyrie. We we certainly we can't out of you know,
we've got six farms up at Luggett. They come out
that way as well. So it just it just because
there's another sprinkle a bow where we can shift milk
around at peak. So it's just one of those things
that just it's just a smart move. I suppose I'm
on the logistics point of view, and then allows just
(12:54):
to start, you know, looking for more milk and that
from Domley and the bottom half over the Otago area.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Cal your milk supply manager down there at our roa.
The season's kicked off. How's it going from your perspective.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, look, look certainly up and up until the weekend
we would have said the thumbs are up, you know,
but certainly ground's got a bit sodden around the place
to be expected. At September, you know, the Pearl Street
farmers are starting to land. So up until that, you know,
we're tracking most probably about seven percent behind. And that
would be a reflection on certainly from last year's carvings.
(13:32):
That September through the November a very tough period. I
think if you look at the white Headow we certainly another.
I think they're only six percent ahead and you're back
in the longer nui area. I think the five percent
up as well. So overall pretty pretty good really and
milk is flowing both those certainly the north end and
(13:53):
very good stead to have a great season, which looks great.
So I'm sure that you know see them as looking
at Patrick at the moment, I was reversold. The other
day we were brown and they've had a bit more
frosts over that way. Northern Southlands the same, but hey,
we're much of our admcent card here in Southland, so
we have no complaints. We nearly caught caught there our
(14:14):
last production, but then we sort of dropped behind again.
It's been a pretty steady line and it's been a
steady gap. But I think, you know, if we continue
the way we're going, we're certainly going to get to
peak a lot quicker compared to certainly last year where
we started off the right. The same thing happened again.
But look, look, I think Shelton's looking really good. It's
in a great spot. So hence why I think, you know,
(14:37):
when when we start to really turn the taps on,
there'll be a fairly steep curve to peak.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We're just lucky we had such a giving July early
August period, I suppose correct.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And and lots some amazing growth rates. You know, you
look around the side, look around the country side. There's
grass band in the wind, so it was fantastic. And
the other good thing is, you know, everyone's a pretty
good fettal around the place, so that was that's been
been a good thing, along with a good player.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Now South Lieral support trust their branch on us events.
They're continuing on this week. We'll talk these days firstly
Tia Now it's happening on Thursday at ten thirty am
and finishing up at Glenham Friday same time ten thirty.
You guys have been on board and this is a
great initiative as well encouraging people to get off.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
They're correct, you know, has been a bit light, you
see the numbers out there at the moment, but Quardrobe
much we've been our biggest turnout so we then we
had otiat which wasn't too bad, lumpsome and also oh
we had Riverstar as well, and we've got Clifton today,
so big turnout. You know over country's sponsored the coffee
(15:44):
chat and also if you're louck enough to turn up,
it doesn't matter who you are, we'll give you a
block Achiese courtesy of Open Country.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
As far as these events, so, I think it's fair
to say they're a necessity at this time of.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Year, there certainly are. I think it's great to talk
to people where it's just with the royal professionals out
there and farmers, you know, getting talk to everybody else
what's going on, you know. So unfortunately, I think you
know a couple of days that they've been on the
way that has turned a weab it. So it doesn't
take much to lose track of the day once something
goes wrong in the morning. So but we'll keep at
(16:20):
it and hopefully we'll get, like I say, a good
tune out to that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Clifton, regarding the difference of Open Country car, what would
you say it is?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I think, you know totally, you know, it's a partnership
my choice from our point of view. You know, it's
always a discussion point that the more that we grow,
the bigger the challenge of the dinosaur coming through the door.
So we're pretty proactive in regards to the relationship were
with our suppliers. So she's one on one and we
(16:49):
want to maintain that and certainly that is our focus
that we understand every supplier. They're all welcome to have
their opinion, you know, I thank you if you can
pick up the fine and ring the chimb of the
board or CEO. I think we're in pretty good We're
in pretty good state.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Cal Stewart Milks, supply manager of Open Country, always good
to chat on the Master.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Thanks very much for your time, Andy, Have a good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Carl Stewart Milk, supply manager of Open Country. Up next
on the Master Grant Disaster McMaster. We're all at the
closer in station around Grant Disaster McMaster farms on the
(17:42):
edges of lake Walker type closer in station and joins
us thanks to Abby Rural Disaster.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Good afternoon, afternoon, everybody that that song is quite funny,
because yeah, I'm able to talk to you from from
all the walkshits something I have not been able to
do it for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Ural connectivity is a real big issue for a lot
of people. Gradued. I mean, I spoke to Bob Dylan
the other day at Pray for godness sake, and I
spoke to him like he was only two meters away
from me. You don't get that option when you live
really unfortunately in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, So I'm like that at make Lake, and you know,
other times I've I've got to get out back to
the road which is about seven k's or back to home,
so I've got the Wi Fi or just the old landline.
But yeah, it's certainly come ahead and leads by. It
leaks and leaks and bound. Sorry. And there's's quite a
few options out there for connectivity now and I've managed
(18:37):
to get onto one, and yeah, it's sort of I've
got more cords and cables on the truck than they're
having a DC ten I think. But I've got the
I've got a plug for the for the feeding out growing,
one for the phone and one for what we're doing now.
So I think we're going to get it hard hardwired,
because I've just been trying it for a week and
we'll get it hard wired and that will that will
(18:59):
sort everything out. So got a little a little mounted
a little mounted box on the on the roof of
the off the truck really and you pack up the
satellites going along and it gives you your Wi Fi
and you can talk, so it's yes, it's pretty good. Really, yeah,
I think there's going to be about twenty meters away
from the from the truck and still talk. So yeah,
(19:22):
it's mounted on the roof and it's yeah, it's a
pretty good set up at this stage. And you know,
you look at the safety issue and just a fact
of of you know, like being able to talk to
you or examples, you're out here waiting for the transport.
Something must must have could have happened and they haven't
arrived where you know, you've got to go all the
way home or try and get somewhere. So you know,
(19:43):
this is this is good and yeah, I'm pretty happy
with it at the moment.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
As far as rural connectivity where you are, especially for sound,
fine cover, it's just how bad is it?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's actually got better. But it is one of the
point of where the lake comes sort of sprayton up
and goes toak to grin Orky, So you're looking sort
of opposite Mount Nicholas and what we call rat Point
on this side. That's it's quite a bad area in there.
So it's always been a bit of a bit of
(20:13):
a bit of a problem. And there are different you know,
repeaters and tars around the lake on different sides, and
you can you can pick up on that, but we're
tucked away in a sort of a little valley and
it makes it a bit more difficult. So but this
seems to be this seems to be working quite well now.
I know further up the Mount Krind and the providers
(20:36):
they have said we're not putting any more copper wire
in for the for the old for the old land line,
and so they're on all cell phone up at Gonorkee,
are right, And as long as I'm in the house
near the Wi Fi, we can now get the cell phone.
So it is getting better. But up until a couple
of days ago, anywhere around the station, you're a buggingbry Do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You still use the landline quite a bit?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, I do, because a lot of people don't realize
we can get cell phone coverage now, but we're still
got the old index beside beside the phone that you
just push it up to a for andy. Some will
go in from here, but I don't. And awhere you go.
And it's good to teach a grand because they think,
what's that old thing on the bench, But you've still
(21:20):
got that. But you know in seeing us now, you've
got everything on you on your cell phone, from the
agents to the transport to whoever, and you just go
into the context and where you go. So yeah, a
thing of the past.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Dad's still got his not his diary. But as I
don't know is that is zed businesses from back in
nineteen eighty nine and he's still got it to this
day and it's just gone through the annals of time.
But yes, for a lot of bailably folks, especially at landline,
is still highly relevant.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I know it is, indeed. And it's like the cards
and business cards you had, and I just went through
some of mine the other day, you know, and the
folder type thing, and well, halfways businesses aren't around now,
we've been taken over and you just and like to try.
And I think the problem is if you're trying to
get hold of somebody that has a cellphone, have their number,
(22:13):
you can't sort of look on the telephone block. But
you know that's getting pretty bloody small now too. It's
like the Italian Book of War. Here is heroes, not
much under andy.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
There's like a certain radio host of the field days
he went announced a couple of influencers for the business card,
not realizing that they're only had their own website. He
who shall remain nameless. But look anyway, great ground conditions
up there at the close, sperm, but dodgy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, it's been a bit of a poor week since
we spoke last seventy five mills of rain on Friday
night and Saturday night, so there was actually there was
fifty and one go and then the rest of over
two more bits and we've had some pretty hard frosts
and just just crap weather really. So snow's right down
(22:57):
and it's saying ten degrees today, which started off about
negative minus three this morning. So yeah, the stock haven't
been liking it too much. It was not on Sunday
when it stopped raining. At the sun's come out, you know,
it's it's been a bit better, so they've picked up again.
But yeah, it's just it's it's pretty it's a bit
(23:19):
rough at the moment, and well, I mean it's just
going really but not a lot of glaciers as you
could imagine. And said before that it's about four and
a half degrees of soil temperature.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
So that's not looking like changing anytime shortly.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
A lot of surface water about coming out of the
out of the well, coming down the creeks and out
of the out of the gullies and the various place springs.
So very quite similar to last year, but certainly not
the rain. We had a lot more rain last year
and we've had have had now but yet sort of
it's but trying.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Really but you're still getting these heavy frost.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, we have been. Yeah, and you know our frosts
which has been it's been quite good after the rain.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Because it sort of you can get across it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know, it's been to losing so much seed and wasters,
so that's and that sort of drives it out of
it too. But yeah, it's certainly not it's not very
good for grass cloth handy.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
So you're about three weeks away for three weeks away
from ramming yet.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, but more than that, I see, I've got work. Yeah,
about three weeks handy, so I think I've got to
get another about fifteen bowls of bailagon and which I
can get. So we're just down to the last year there.
Town is up on Monday to put us over the
conveyers to give them the five and one and what
have you, and a lot of those will be spread out.
Might just keep the twodo's back for another week or
(24:41):
so and they blocks freshen up a bit more. But
it was sort of cutting the stores.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Really, did you get seventeen bowls of bay let's have
a couple like your sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I've allowed for that. The ball the balls will
eat a few more too, so there's not much tug
over them to do. You know, they've been on at
the moment, but yeah, just get another truck laid out
and it'll still got a bit of valley there. And
you know, the stock are looking okay, but they could certainly, yeah,
when the sun comes out there enjoying. It been a
(25:12):
bit tricky for the cows on the hills at the moment.
Had one slipped off the other day. Just you know,
they're up quite high and condition's not right, so that's
that's never good. And yeah, a couple of lost a
couple of calves from the heifers that are sort of
just starting the carve over at the Eratown block, and
that weather on tidy a couple of them up. So
(25:34):
it's been pretty bloody horrific. Really, you know, it's sort
of we've just struck that at the wrong at the
wrong time as well. There's never a right time, is it.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well does aster? We hope the next week's better for
your weatherwise than the likes and things start get, you
start seeing a little bit of growth. We always appreciate
your time. We always appreciate you keeping it real.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I know that is what it is, and I'm not
complaining at all of just the way it goes, and
it's fun and that's why we do it. And you know,
when the guy gets tough to talk, keep going. And
that's why we've got good tarn old sheep and angus
cows and just spit up, a good managemental health, some
stays along the road and the saddle shine and we'll
be knocking the tails off the lands and drinking beer shortly.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Grab McMaster thanks to ABI Rural. Always appreciate disaster fronting
up and being honest as well about these conversations because
it's relevant regarding Daviy' life.

Amy Cobrackt of Environment south And thanks your time on
the muster. Thanks Eddie, Amy Cobrackt out of Environment Southland,
General manager for People in Governance regarding to meet the
Candidate's evening happening tomorrow down at is headquarters, another Cargoll
Daryl Moyles is Sergeant Dan Stock Foods. He's up next.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
This is the muster, the muster.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Before we wrap up for the afternoon, we're heading across
the road from Hokinu EHQ, and we're catching up with
Daryl Moyles out of Sergeant Dan Stock Foods. You know.
Rumor has it the Lonely Planet has advised commuters through
the main street of Gore to drive down through the
May Gore precing with their windows down so they can
take in their senses with the smell of molesses and
musually because it is just irresistible to the sensory overload system.
(31:26):
Daryl Moyles, good afternoon.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
I think you're making that up. Good afternoon. Any I
think you're making this up a weave it. But anyway,
you good luck to you.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I may or may not have said that, but nonetheless
it's a hell of a smell. Jeez. You had the
molesses cranking the other day and the aroma. Like I say, Daryl,
I won't lie about this though, the smell of them
usually and the molesss going through is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Well, I mean, as I said, I've said before, we
don't actually smell it. We're here every day and some
products have got a lot of molasses in them, so
you do get a bit of smell, and we go
through quite a volume of molasses on a daily basis,
it's just something we don't sort of smell ourselves. But
I'm pleased that works for you.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well, next time I skip that a robe but coming
through the main street of g ten, I'll text you
and let you come out and smell it for yourself.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Hell's that what a great idea.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
We'll go with that.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You guys will be pretty busy at the moment though,
calving season, calf nuts and the likes. It'll be your go.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Well, everything's allo the time of the year. I mean,
we do most of our business September, octob and November,
and we've flared out as we need to be and
coming and going with every thing in particular pulling up
some size. Now there's a lot of most airy farmers
have a big majority of their herd calves, so it's
all go from here on in yep. And also we're
obviously calf goes along with that. So there are two
(32:38):
main lines at the moment, they're both flared out, so
it is what it is for the spring. The other
thing I was going to mention is we do a
velvet plus, which we've made for probably a number of years,
but very popular product nowadays, and velvet production of course,
it's another thing that's going pretty well for the deer farmers.
So we've got things like organic zinc, special amino acids,
(33:00):
it's all non GMO for the deer industry. So those
products are rolling out the door at the moment as well.
I thought I should mention.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
That the nuts. I don't think we've talked about that before.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
No, it's not not one we have talked about, but
it's pretty big behind for us. We now sell them
all over there. We're actually seeing them as far as
Kai Koura, believe it or not, but pretty a lot
of it goes through the central of Targo, the like
the hardware area with a lot of deer and all
the local guys just had the same as Peter Ellerton
to grab some this morning, so I had a good
(33:31):
yard of better and he's used them for a number
of years, so very good product.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I see it on your social media post the
other day talking about you guys. You've got agents in
central Targo selling your product. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, Well, there's.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
The pulture side of the business with a lot of
the re sellers. There's not a lot of resellers up
that way, so we've got a lady that sells quite
huge talages. She actually grows chickens and point deal a
bullets in uses their product and then she started selling
the product. So yeah, that's going really really.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, would you say the poultry side of things from
your perspective of the fate, it just gets bigger.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
It just keeps rolling on. It gives me remothly me
out of poultry. We're selling a lot of commercial stuff though,
a lot of fulk bags of product. You know, one
ton begs and half ton begs go out in that.
At the end of the month they head up how
much was sold in it. It's really big volumes, but
it's really good product. Obviously, the nutritionist is called a
guru on poultry, so we know that the formulations are
(34:32):
very robust and the person the pudding really the eggs.
Everyone comes back and ram it's about the quality of
the eggs, so obviously the products be good.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Of course, you're referring to Natalie Crystal your animal nutrition
is there or how often are you talking to her
about products?
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Talking to her probably once twice a week, but we
email on a daily basis, so I'll flick away some
information and say I need a formulation for this, or
we need to change this, and she'll just do the
formulation and comes through a big print out. I'm through
on my computer, so physically talking to her probably once
or twice a week. Shaney visitsself and sort of three
or four times a year. But you know, we're sort
(35:08):
of communicating on a regular basis where formulations do change
from here and there, with some of the materials getting
unavailable and all sorts of things happen, and new customers
coming through saying I want something to do this job.
Funnily enough, I've just we've just done another formulation. I
think we mentioned a while ago about the snail farmer
and sense of our target. So we've just done a
his cargo bro feed for his snails, which will be
(35:31):
going up next week.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Where do you even start with that? I suppose to
not palettes of the stuff.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
No, it's a fine mash that we make for them
with a lot of again amino acids and a lot
of things for shell production. And I actually thought the
people were joking when they come and said, look we
want we've got a guy producing snails for the Queenstown
restaurant market. And yeah, they've bought quite a tonage at
the stage, so you never know what we might get
(35:58):
next next week.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Well right to the heck there? Do you run snails
that you reckon?
Speaker 6 (36:03):
Yeah? I don't have that information, sorry, but Natalie's been
working quite closely with them, and there is quite a
bit of information. They've been helped overseas, I believe it
or not, people breed snails.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No, that's outstanding. It just reminds you back to that
guy on sports Care all those years ago there or
you may or may not remember us, Yeah, just I
certainly do.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
We should have.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
We should have sent some of his feed up for him.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Absolutely, you should have. That's brilliant. Now when you're talking
to the dairy cockies out there, like you say, getting
through carving, how's the season treating them so far?
Speaker 6 (36:32):
You're not too many. Most guys say, the girls coming
in pretty good, and the winter's been relatively good as
far as condition wise, and most guys are pretty happy
and they're starting to milk reasonably well. So at the stage,
no complaints. We just want to want a good spring
to continue and everyone will be happy.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Well, we'll talk about a code to finish up because
we can the Stags. Unfortunately. I use the analogy use
today it is better to have loved and lost than
not to have loved at all. Six days around pretty Shield.
But we certainly punched above our weight.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Oh totally. I thought the wake out of game was outstanding.
And they had a big weekend and obviously a big
few days, so they were up against it against a
really strong Canobry side. But they're still playing good rugby.
They've had a few wins this year and no, I
think I think it was fantastic. It was good to
see the Shield comes south.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
RESSI Arrasmus. He comes across as quite an intriguing individual,
to be fair, like, he's made like ten or eleven
changes to the spring box side for the Caketon, the
sue Ken. What do you think the Buck's going to bring?
That was different?
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Well, it's really surprising the amount of changes he's made.
He's an interesting character, all right. But I think they
would have been gutted. I mean, we played really well.
I think that first twenty minutes those two tries blew
them off the park and they took a lot. You know,
that took a lot out of them and they didn't
really come back that well, it was only right at
the end of the game when they were starting to
play decent rugby. So with all the changes, Look, I'm
(37:51):
looking forward to the game. I don't know it's going
to be bloody interesting.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Andy Wellington's not exactly the fortress for the ull Blacks
that or it never really has been, truth.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Be known, But I don't know how much that comes
into it nowadays with psychology and all the experts they've
got in the background. But I know, I think it'll
be a great game of football. Who knows what the
spring box will bring? Small line outs in midfield?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Who knows Satan Dan stop foods? Here in Gord's this
way to get in touch.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Just eight hundred number, which is eight hundred isgtdam.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Get on your dare. I've always got to catch up.
Speaker 6 (38:25):

land can be a laughing matter. Brought to us by

good afternoon, and welcome to the master on Hokinui Andy
muy here until two o'clock thanks to Peterson Ennix. Welcome
along on a rather overcast afternoon here in the South.
(00:28):
We're going to look at the weather shortly, but before
we do. The Little River Band there's the music today now.
They're a band that formed in Melbourne in March nineteen
seventy five, achieving commercial success in both Australia and the US.
They sold more than thirty million records. Six studio albums.
They all reached the top tier on the Australian album charts.
(00:51):
Just yeah, really really cool Chune. You can actually do
two or three days of these guys, such as their
repertoire of music.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I'll think back to the time when forecasts brought to
you by twin Farm, teff Rom and saft text. The
proof is in the progeny Teffron dot co dot nzi.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This afternoon cloudy, we're breezing or easterlyes and fourteen Wednesday
light rain with breezy westerlies. Two and eight Thursday cloudy
with breezing or westerlyes four and eleven, Friday eight showers
with westerlies forming three and ten, and Saturday rain with
breezy Westlees six and ten. So not the best weather
for the middle of September, but nonetheless go through, do
(01:29):
your due diligence, are regarding the forecasts and stuff. Hopefully
if you're in lambing mode, things are going okay, you're
getting through carving now. Everything's been going tickety bill as well,
So it's just a bit of a spoe we're having
with weather at the moment. So temperatures Clinton six point seven,
Northern South and six point eight, Riverton eight point six,
tian Now seven, Titoroa eight, wintered seven point one at
(01:52):
Woodland's seven Niger whehead Farming in south of Tago between

Speaker 4 (03:00):
No, it's good afternoon, Yeah, afternoon Andy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
How's everything up there in South Andtigo? Are you getting
through this weeether?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Okay, Oh, it's not too bad. Yesterday was nice.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You can.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, we'll take a couple of weeks and nice days
you stay. But no, it's not too bad. Today. It's
a bit of moisture around, but nothing major. So yeah,
we'd take along. Not too bad.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You're still a couple of days out from Lemming starting.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, officially say, but there's probably there be lambs and
every second petic type thing around the place now, So yeah,
there's new twins and new singles floating around, so that's good. Yeah,
slowly but surely getting into it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
The sheep are pottering away, I suppose is the term.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, just starting to think about it really, But yeah,
so by the weekend or it will have broken loose
and will be into it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So is that your focus at the moment, just getting
ready for that?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, pretty much. We've basically spend most of the morning
doing a full leap of everything making Troy Ring's okay,
and yeah, just keeping it for bearings and casts really,
and then last thing at night whip brown for casts.
I think last night there was four or five of them,
So if worth doing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
At night as far as casts, what would you normally
give them a day?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
At the moment, Uh, yeah, we're getting a handful of
sort of you know, I think I tipped over a
couple this morning and four or five last night. So yeah,
we don't tend to get too many carts. We usually
don't tend to fit enough sheep. But the user in
pretty good nickness here, and there's a fever of feed
around so yeah, and yeah, they're worth a few bucks
(04:40):
this year, so it's good to try and keep them
a life.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Do you hang on the cast or do you give
them a tag and get rid of them? A lot
of people have different theories.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh now I just roll them over away they go.
Keep my fingers crossed that everything's all good. So I
don't think it's something worth culling for. I don't think
getting cast has anything to do with you need it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Just fat sheep, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Oh yeah, fat sheep, And yeah we get you know,
you know the odd Indians around the place and on
top of a flat ridge sheep camp or an overflow
sort of line or something that you know, not always,
but often there's there's something in the environment that they
happen to get down and lie down on it and
can't get back up again as well. So yeah, I
(05:25):
don't I don't think it's genetic.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Just a sheep being a sheep in September.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, yeah, you know the old the old saying that
sheep has been turing and sixty four days a year
trying to work out how to die. But we've been
pretty good. Like it is a tough time year, this
time of year, Like I reckon about any sent of
deaths occur in the in the month around Lembing, But
we've been we've been pretty good. I haven't had too
(05:51):
many beerings, just that we snattering of bearings and I'll
keep most of them alive. So yeah, I think we're
we're looking all right for lembing this year.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So what do you do to your bearings? You got retainers?
You just use clips? What's the plan?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, we sort of make a bit of a harness
thing that goes around the middle and then down each
side of the back end with just out a like
juke baling twine and then you know, after we see
them lamb a couple of days later, if we can
catch them, we'll just catch them and cut it off,
or otherwise as you're running through the tailing pen will
cut it off. And yeah, like from now on, those
(06:26):
us that have bearings, we'll catch them, fix them and
then they go back and get lamb close to the
house with the freezers and then then get killed and
killed in December with the freezer. You's so, yeah, we've
never never kept any bearings after that first season, after
they've hopefully reared a lamb or two.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So, what's a good lambing tip you've got for people
on the lambing beat this afternoon? Knows, because there can
be a bit of a hard yacker just to break
out with them, innost Andy, what do you do differently
to break that up?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
A couple of things. I make sure there's lots of
snacks and coffee at my wallshed, and like, I don't
stop for smoko all through the year, but at Lemming
time I do. And I try not to work too
much harder at lemming time, try not to create any
more stress than you need to. But it is a
(07:19):
busy time year and there's a lot going on, especially
if the weather gets rough. So I've got like a
like a coffee cup that comes with me on the bike,
and I'm taking coffee with me in the morning and
it's pretty good, like it usually keeps coffee warming to
almost lunchtime. And then have a couple of snacks, some
good caality movesy bars and biscuits and one square meals
(07:41):
type thing, and always a few lollies as well for
later on. And yeah, make a point of if I'm
cruising past the yard, just take ten minutes to stop
and make make a new kappa if you if I
need to, and have a snack and give for me.
It's about giving myself something to look forward to during
the day as well. But yeah, I don't know, I
(08:04):
probably don't do as quite an intensive Lemming beat as
like my parents did or what we did when we
were kids. You know, I don't, yeah, like you, mothering
on and things. I try and avoid that if I can,
Like I just you've got to be a certain type
of person to be mothering on lambs and that sort
of thing, and that's just not my jams. So that
(08:26):
I think that sort of helps. I try not to
get too stressed out about it. But like I say,
you know, lambs and yous are worth a bit this year,
so try and keep as many alive as we can.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And just finally probably past coming to Mark Dylan play
I'm an Extraordinary competing at the World Champs over in
Prague over the week. He did really good, really well.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't talked to Mark, but
I've been keeping up with the with the Facebook posts.
It sounds like conditions are really, really really tough, bending
culture stalks and skimmer storks and things flared out in
the practice. So yeah, it sounds like it was. It
was tough, and but just making it to the World's
(09:07):
it was a big effort. Not only winning winning the
news yells is probably the easy, but you know, all
the fundraising and you've got to send the track on
the other side of the world and then getting there
and all the practice and you know it's it's not
cheap and it's it's a big undertaking. So yeah, well
done to Mark, and of course that Bobby Murdens as well
from timorrow he was in the Reversible. They both both
(09:27):
did pretty well buil accounts in some tough conditions. So yeah,
I would say Mark will be coming home to get
stuck into some spring work. He's had a sort of
month or so away. I'd say, you'll be you'll be
ready to get stuck into the spring.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and he gets to go again next year as well.
How we leave it there, nige're the best on the
beat this afternoon and just getting organized day.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
No worries, Thanks Andy, and yeah, all the best out there.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Hope.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I hope the weather stays all right.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
NIGEA what head farming and South Pantaga. You just got
to mess us through before as well. Alan Savage listens
in regularly saying down on his neck of the woods,
there not far number Cargo, it's a little bit damp.
Always good to get your correspondence, Allen. We carry on
with the afternoon. Cal Stewart is up next from Open Country.
(10:29):
Welcome back to the Muster. Our next guest is Carl Stewart.
Milk's a play manager for Open Country. The song is
Lonesome Loser. Well, good afternoon, Carl. It seems as though
open Country has been doing anything but losing lately, kicking
a lot of goals.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, good afternoon, Good afternoon to your listeners. Great for
the music for the intro, thanks very much, and certainly
have been out there in the media for the last
the last two weeks anyway, so all for the right purposes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Absolutely. Of course we're talking about Matara Velly Milk this
week through a couple of weeks ago, but Maraca as well.
Tell us more about this.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Yeah, so obviously, I think usually an algae weab, but
it's like getting your first farm and you think your
roses are all good and you know you've you've done
your best, and all of a sudden, I know the
name of knocks on your back door and says we're
selling you know if you want to buy us, And
it's pretty much exactly what happened, really, to be fair,
and so the opportunity that come along was a great opportunity,
(11:27):
and I think strategically and logistically for open Country, it
was a perfect fit between the factories and Wanganui and
certainly horror to and and in the North Island, so
I think there was a thumbs up or around. So
it was a no brainer really, and.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
The Tara Valley milk a couple of weeks on, you
guys will be pretty chucked about this, oh very much so.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
And obviously that was that was a ten months sort
of scenario and they're making a bit of work's going
on behind the scenes there and it was nice to
get across the line and get down into the In
the public, there was lots of rumors one around of
course is it always always does. But yeah, we've had
the team from the North Island down from the Cheerlor
madograin and and Mark Dellatore come down and spoke to
those material supplies and yep, at the stage of there's
(12:13):
no change whatsoever hand on heart stuff. It's well, we'll
continue to honor what we have to honor and we'll
just must well be a bit of a bit of
fold of the open country. I suppose culture back into
the into that company.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
So logistically it made sense just for your guys portfolio,
oh correct.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
You know, certainly, you know we we we go to
the tyrie. We we certainly we can't out of you know,
we've got six farms up at Luggett. They come out
that way as well. So it just it just because
there's another sprinkle a bow where we can shift milk
around at peak. So it's just one of those things
that just it's just a smart move. I suppose I'm
on the logistics point of view, and then allows just
(12:54):
to start, you know, looking for more milk and that
from Domley and the bottom half over the Otago area.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Cal your milk supply manager down there at our roa.
The season's kicked off. How's it going from your perspective.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, look, look certainly up and up until the weekend
we would have said the thumbs are up, you know,
but certainly ground's got a bit sodden around the place
to be expected. At September, you know, the Pearl Street
farmers are starting to land. So up until that, you know,
we're tracking most probably about seven percent behind. And that
would be a reflection on certainly from last year's carvings.
(13:32):
That September through the November a very tough period. I
think if you look at the white Headow we certainly another.
I think they're only six percent ahead and you're back
in the longer nui area. I think the five percent
up as well. So overall pretty pretty good really and
milk is flowing both those certainly the north end and
(13:53):
very good stead to have a great season, which looks great.
So I'm sure that you know see them as looking
at Patrick at the moment, I was reversold. The other
day we were brown and they've had a bit more
frosts over that way. Northern Southlands the same, but hey,
we're much of our admcent card here in Southland, so
we have no complaints. We nearly caught caught there our
(14:14):
last production, but then we sort of dropped behind again.
It's been a pretty steady line and it's been a
steady gap. But I think, you know, if we continue
the way we're going, we're certainly going to get to
peak a lot quicker compared to certainly last year where
we started off the right. The same thing happened again.
But look, look, I think Shelton's looking really good. It's
in a great spot. So hence why I think, you know,
(14:37):
when when we start to really turn the taps on,
there'll be a fairly steep curve to peak.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
We're just lucky we had such a giving July early
August period, I suppose correct.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And and lots some amazing growth rates. You know, you
look around the side, look around the country side. There's
grass band in the wind, so it was fantastic. And
the other good thing is, you know, everyone's a pretty
good fettal around the place, so that was that's been
been a good thing, along with a good player.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Now South Lieral support trust their branch on us events.
They're continuing on this week. We'll talk these days firstly
Tia Now it's happening on Thursday at ten thirty am
and finishing up at Glenham Friday same time ten thirty.
You guys have been on board and this is a
great initiative as well encouraging people to get off.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
They're correct, you know, has been a bit light, you
see the numbers out there at the moment, but Quardrobe
much we've been our biggest turnout so we then we
had otiat which wasn't too bad, lumpsome and also oh
we had Riverstar as well, and we've got Clifton today,
so big turnout. You know over country's sponsored the coffee
(15:44):
chat and also if you're louck enough to turn up,
it doesn't matter who you are, we'll give you a
block Achiese courtesy of Open Country.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
As far as these events, so, I think it's fair
to say they're a necessity at this time of.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Year, there certainly are. I think it's great to talk
to people where it's just with the royal professionals out
there and farmers, you know, getting talk to everybody else
what's going on, you know. So unfortunately, I think you
know a couple of days that they've been on the
way that has turned a weab it. So it doesn't
take much to lose track of the day once something
goes wrong in the morning. So but we'll keep at
(16:20):
it and hopefully we'll get, like I say, a good
tune out to that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Clifton, regarding the difference of Open Country car, what would
you say it is?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I think, you know totally, you know, it's a partnership
my choice from our point of view. You know, it's
always a discussion point that the more that we grow,
the bigger the challenge of the dinosaur coming through the door.
So we're pretty proactive in regards to the relationship were
with our suppliers. So she's one on one and we
(16:49):
want to maintain that and certainly that is our focus
that we understand every supplier. They're all welcome to have
their opinion, you know, I thank you if you can
pick up the fine and ring the chimb of the
board or CEO. I think we're in pretty good We're
in pretty good state.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Cal Stewart Milks, supply manager of Open Country, always good
to chat on the Master.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Thanks very much for your time, Andy, Have a good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Carl Stewart Milk, supply manager of Open Country. Up next
on the Master Grant Disaster McMaster. We're all at the
closer in station around Grant Disaster McMaster farms on the
(17:42):
edges of lake Walker type closer in station and joins
us thanks to Abby Rural Disaster.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Good afternoon, afternoon, everybody that that song is quite funny,
because yeah, I'm able to talk to you from from
all the walkshits something I have not been able to
do it for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Ural connectivity is a real big issue for a lot
of people. Gradued. I mean, I spoke to Bob Dylan
the other day at Pray for godness sake, and I
spoke to him like he was only two meters away
from me. You don't get that option when you live
really unfortunately in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, So I'm like that at make Lake, and you know,
other times I've I've got to get out back to
the road which is about seven k's or back to home,
so I've got the Wi Fi or just the old landline.
But yeah, it's certainly come ahead and leads by. It
leaks and leaks and bound. Sorry. And there's's quite a
few options out there for connectivity now and I've managed
(18:37):
to get onto one, and yeah, it's sort of I've
got more cords and cables on the truck than they're
having a DC ten I think. But I've got the
I've got a plug for the for the feeding out growing,
one for the phone and one for what we're doing now.
So I think we're going to get it hard hardwired,
because I've just been trying it for a week and
we'll get it hard wired and that will that will
(18:59):
sort everything out. So got a little a little mounted
a little mounted box on the on the roof of
the off the truck really and you pack up the
satellites going along and it gives you your Wi Fi
and you can talk, so it's yes, it's pretty good. Really, yeah,
I think there's going to be about twenty meters away
from the from the truck and still talk. So yeah,
(19:22):
it's mounted on the roof and it's yeah, it's a
pretty good set up at this stage. And you know,
you look at the safety issue and just a fact
of of you know, like being able to talk to
you or examples, you're out here waiting for the transport.
Something must must have could have happened and they haven't
arrived where you know, you've got to go all the
way home or try and get somewhere. So you know,
(19:43):
this is this is good and yeah, I'm pretty happy
with it at the moment.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
As far as rural connectivity where you are, especially for sound,
fine cover, it's just how bad is it?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's actually got better. But it is one of the
point of where the lake comes sort of sprayton up
and goes toak to grin Orky, So you're looking sort
of opposite Mount Nicholas and what we call rat Point
on this side. That's it's quite a bad area in there.
So it's always been a bit of a bit of
(20:13):
a bit of a problem. And there are different you know,
repeaters and tars around the lake on different sides, and
you can you can pick up on that, but we're
tucked away in a sort of a little valley and
it makes it a bit more difficult. So but this
seems to be this seems to be working quite well now.
I know further up the Mount Krind and the providers
(20:36):
they have said we're not putting any more copper wire
in for the for the old for the old land line,
and so they're on all cell phone up at Gonorkee,
are right, And as long as I'm in the house
near the Wi Fi, we can now get the cell phone.
So it is getting better. But up until a couple
of days ago, anywhere around the station, you're a buggingbry Do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You still use the landline quite a bit?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, I do, because a lot of people don't realize
we can get cell phone coverage now, but we're still
got the old index beside beside the phone that you
just push it up to a for andy. Some will
go in from here, but I don't. And awhere you go.
And it's good to teach a grand because they think,
what's that old thing on the bench, But you've still
(21:20):
got that. But you know in seeing us now, you've
got everything on you on your cell phone, from the
agents to the transport to whoever, and you just go
into the context and where you go. So yeah, a
thing of the past.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Dad's still got his not his diary. But as I
don't know is that is zed businesses from back in
nineteen eighty nine and he's still got it to this
day and it's just gone through the annals of time.
But yes, for a lot of bailably folks, especially at landline,
is still highly relevant.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I know it is, indeed. And it's like the cards
and business cards you had, and I just went through
some of mine the other day, you know, and the
folder type thing, and well, halfways businesses aren't around now,
we've been taken over and you just and like to try.
And I think the problem is if you're trying to
get hold of somebody that has a cellphone, have their number,
(22:13):
you can't sort of look on the telephone block. But
you know that's getting pretty bloody small now too. It's
like the Italian Book of War. Here is heroes, not
much under andy.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
There's like a certain radio host of the field days
he went announced a couple of influencers for the business card,
not realizing that they're only had their own website. He
who shall remain nameless. But look anyway, great ground conditions
up there at the close, sperm, but dodgy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, it's been a bit of a poor week since
we spoke last seventy five mills of rain on Friday
night and Saturday night, so there was actually there was
fifty and one go and then the rest of over
two more bits and we've had some pretty hard frosts
and just just crap weather really. So snow's right down
(22:57):
and it's saying ten degrees today, which started off about
negative minus three this morning. So yeah, the stock haven't
been liking it too much. It was not on Sunday
when it stopped raining. At the sun's come out, you know,
it's it's been a bit better, so they've picked up again.
But yeah, it's just it's it's pretty it's a bit
(23:19):
rough at the moment, and well, I mean it's just
going really but not a lot of glaciers as you
could imagine. And said before that it's about four and
a half degrees of soil temperature.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
So that's not looking like changing anytime shortly.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
A lot of surface water about coming out of the
out of the well, coming down the creeks and out
of the out of the gullies and the various place springs.
So very quite similar to last year, but certainly not
the rain. We had a lot more rain last year
and we've had have had now but yet sort of
it's but trying.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Really but you're still getting these heavy frost.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, we have been. Yeah, and you know our frosts
which has been it's been quite good after the rain.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Because it sort of you can get across it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know, it's been to losing so much seed and wasters,
so that's and that sort of drives it out of
it too. But yeah, it's certainly not it's not very
good for grass cloth handy.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
So you're about three weeks away for three weeks away
from ramming yet.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, but more than that, I see, I've got work. Yeah,
about three weeks handy, so I think I've got to
get another about fifteen bowls of bailagon and which I
can get. So we're just down to the last year there.
Town is up on Monday to put us over the
conveyers to give them the five and one and what
have you, and a lot of those will be spread out.
Might just keep the twodo's back for another week or
(24:41):
so and they blocks freshen up a bit more. But
it was sort of cutting the stores.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Really, did you get seventeen bowls of bay let's have
a couple like your sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I've allowed for that. The ball the balls will
eat a few more too, so there's not much tug
over them to do. You know, they've been on at
the moment, but yeah, just get another truck laid out
and it'll still got a bit of valley there. And
you know, the stock are looking okay, but they could certainly, yeah,
when the sun comes out there enjoying. It been a
(25:12):
bit tricky for the cows on the hills at the moment.
Had one slipped off the other day. Just you know,
they're up quite high and condition's not right, so that's
that's never good. And yeah, a couple of lost a
couple of calves from the heifers that are sort of
just starting the carve over at the Eratown block, and
that weather on tidy a couple of them up. So
(25:34):
it's been pretty bloody horrific. Really, you know, it's sort
of we've just struck that at the wrong at the
wrong time as well. There's never a right time, is it.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well does aster? We hope the next week's better for
your weatherwise than the likes and things start get, you
start seeing a little bit of growth. We always appreciate
your time. We always appreciate you keeping it real.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I know that is what it is, and I'm not
complaining at all of just the way it goes, and
it's fun and that's why we do it. And you know,
when the guy gets tough to talk, keep going. And
that's why we've got good tarn old sheep and angus
cows and just spit up, a good managemental health, some
stays along the road and the saddle shine and we'll
be knocking the tails off the lands and drinking beer shortly.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Grab McMaster thanks to ABI Rural. Always appreciate disaster fronting
up and being honest as well about these conversations because
it's relevant regarding Daviy' life.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Amy Kubrick's up next from Environment Southland, So you welcome
back to the muster. Amy Kubrick Adam Environment Southland joins us.
She is general manager for People in Governance. Good afternoon, Amy.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
How you going. Can't really complain with as long as
the weather settles it south down. But it's a topic
for another day, I suppose. But look, there's a lot
going on in the moment. We're talking about local body politics.
Now Environment Southland. You've got to meet the candidates evening
tomorrow night.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
That is correct. Yes, we wanted to provide the public
with an opportunity to connects directly with the people who
are putting themselves forwards to represent them at Environment Southland.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
So what's happening as far as the event.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
So tomorrow night, our doors open at five thirty here
at the Council Chambers at Environment Southland, and we're on
the corner of North Road and Price Streets and in Chicago,
and we're going to keep things reasonably lively and fair
with a panel style discussion with some of our candidates.
(27:45):
So each candidate's going to have equal time to share
their views and respond to questions, and we'll be quizzing
them on things like their views on fresh water management,
climate change, adaptation and buildings brilliant communities, amongst some other things.
So people can either come along and watch this live
(28:08):
or they can join us on our website channel or
our on our YouTube channel to see what people are
saying here, the debate and the conversation and see what
people stand for.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
So that'll be the format tomorrow night, Amy, there'll be
an MC just relaying the questions to candidates. I suppose
that is correct.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Yes, that's exactly how we're.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Going to do that.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So is that how you want people to get involved
through the streaming services provided or else to go along
in person.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Yes, that is exactly the way that people can take part.
The discussion is going to actually run from six to
seven pm and we really encourage people to engage in
this part of the election process. Elections happen soon. Voting
papers are going to be delivered this week and we

prior to making these selections, we strongly encourage people to
find out more about what the people they are voting
for stand force.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
The big thing is this is all about democracy, so
we need to urge everybody who is enrolled to get
along and vote.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
Absolutely we do. You know, these are the people that
are the people who are standing as candidates, will be
the people that are representing the communities of Southland for
the next three years. That's a long time and it's
really important that they make sure that they're informed before
(29:47):
they make that vote.

Amy Cobrackt of Environment south And thanks your time on
the muster. Thanks Eddie, Amy Cobrackt out of Environment Southland,
General manager for People in Governance regarding to meet the
Candidate's evening happening tomorrow down at is headquarters, another Cargoll
Daryl Moyles is Sergeant Dan Stock Foods. He's up next.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
This is the muster, the muster.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Before we wrap up for the afternoon, we're heading across
the road from Hokinu EHQ, and we're catching up with
Daryl Moyles out of Sergeant Dan Stock Foods. You know.
Rumor has it the Lonely Planet has advised commuters through
the main street of Gore to drive down through the
May Gore precing with their windows down so they can
take in their senses with the smell of molesses and
musually because it is just irresistible to the sensory overload system.
(31:26):
Daryl Moyles, good afternoon.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
I think you're making that up. Good afternoon. Any I
think you're making this up a weave it. But anyway,
you good luck to you.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I may or may not have said that, but nonetheless
it's a hell of a smell. Jeez. You had the
molesses cranking the other day and the aroma. Like I say, Daryl,
I won't lie about this though, the smell of them
usually and the molesss going through is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Well, I mean, as I said, I've said before, we
don't actually smell it. We're here every day and some
products have got a lot of molasses in them, so
you do get a bit of smell, and we go
through quite a volume of molasses on a daily basis,
it's just something we don't sort of smell ourselves. But
I'm pleased that works for you.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well, next time I skip that a robe but coming
through the main street of g ten, I'll text you
and let you come out and smell it for yourself.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
Hell's that what a great idea.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
We'll go with that.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You guys will be pretty busy at the moment though,
calving season, calf nuts and the likes. It'll be your go.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Well, everything's allo the time of the year. I mean,
we do most of our business September, octob and November,
and we've flared out as we need to be and
coming and going with every thing in particular pulling up
some size. Now there's a lot of most airy farmers
have a big majority of their herd calves, so it's
all go from here on in yep. And also we're
obviously calf goes along with that. So there are two
(32:38):
main lines at the moment, they're both flared out, so
it is what it is for the spring. The other
thing I was going to mention is we do a
velvet plus, which we've made for probably a number of years,
but very popular product nowadays, and velvet production of course,
it's another thing that's going pretty well for the deer farmers.
So we've got things like organic zinc, special amino acids,
(33:00):
it's all non GMO for the deer industry. So those
products are rolling out the door at the moment as well.
I thought I should mention.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
That the nuts. I don't think we've talked about that before.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
No, it's not not one we have talked about, but
it's pretty big behind for us. We now sell them
all over there. We're actually seeing them as far as
Kai Koura, believe it or not, but pretty a lot
of it goes through the central of Targo, the like
the hardware area with a lot of deer and all
the local guys just had the same as Peter Ellerton
to grab some this morning, so I had a good
(33:31):
yard of better and he's used them for a number
of years, so very good product.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I see it on your social media post the
other day talking about you guys. You've got agents in
central Targo selling your product. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, Well, there's.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
The pulture side of the business with a lot of
the re sellers. There's not a lot of resellers up
that way, so we've got a lady that sells quite
huge talages. She actually grows chickens and point deal a
bullets in uses their product and then she started selling
the product. So yeah, that's going really really.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, would you say the poultry side of things from
your perspective of the fate, it just gets bigger.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
It just keeps rolling on. It gives me remothly me
out of poultry. We're selling a lot of commercial stuff though,
a lot of fulk bags of product. You know, one
ton begs and half ton begs go out in that.
At the end of the month they head up how
much was sold in it. It's really big volumes, but
it's really good product. Obviously, the nutritionist is called a
guru on poultry, so we know that the formulations are
(34:32):
very robust and the person the pudding really the eggs.
Everyone comes back and ram it's about the quality of
the eggs, so obviously the products be good.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Of course, you're referring to Natalie Crystal your animal nutrition
is there or how often are you talking to her
about products?
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Talking to her probably once twice a week, but we
email on a daily basis, so I'll flick away some
information and say I need a formulation for this, or
we need to change this, and she'll just do the
formulation and comes through a big print out. I'm through
on my computer, so physically talking to her probably once
or twice a week. Shaney visitsself and sort of three
or four times a year. But you know, we're sort
(35:08):
of communicating on a regular basis where formulations do change
from here and there, with some of the materials getting
unavailable and all sorts of things happen, and new customers
coming through saying I want something to do this job.
Funnily enough, I've just we've just done another formulation. I
think we mentioned a while ago about the snail farmer
and sense of our target. So we've just done a
his cargo bro feed for his snails, which will be
(35:31):
going up next week.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Where do you even start with that? I suppose to
not palettes of the stuff.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
No, it's a fine mash that we make for them
with a lot of again amino acids and a lot
of things for shell production. And I actually thought the
people were joking when they come and said, look we
want we've got a guy producing snails for the Queenstown
restaurant market. And yeah, they've bought quite a tonage at
the stage, so you never know what we might get
(35:58):
next next week.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Well right to the heck there? Do you run snails
that you reckon?
Speaker 6 (36:03):
Yeah? I don't have that information, sorry, but Natalie's been
working quite closely with them, and there is quite a
bit of information. They've been helped overseas, I believe it
or not, people breed snails.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No, that's outstanding. It just reminds you back to that
guy on sports Care all those years ago there or
you may or may not remember us, Yeah, just I
certainly do.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
We should have.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
We should have sent some of his feed up for him.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Absolutely, you should have. That's brilliant. Now when you're talking
to the dairy cockies out there, like you say, getting
through carving, how's the season treating them so far?
Speaker 6 (36:32):
You're not too many. Most guys say, the girls coming
in pretty good, and the winter's been relatively good as
far as condition wise, and most guys are pretty happy
and they're starting to milk reasonably well. So at the stage,
no complaints. We just want to want a good spring
to continue and everyone will be happy.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Well, we'll talk about a code to finish up because
we can the Stags. Unfortunately. I use the analogy use
today it is better to have loved and lost than
not to have loved at all. Six days around pretty Shield.
But we certainly punched above our weight.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Oh totally. I thought the wake out of game was outstanding.
And they had a big weekend and obviously a big
few days, so they were up against it against a
really strong Canobry side. But they're still playing good rugby.
They've had a few wins this year and no, I
think I think it was fantastic. It was good to
see the Shield comes south.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
RESSI Arrasmus. He comes across as quite an intriguing individual,
to be fair, like, he's made like ten or eleven
changes to the spring box side for the Caketon, the
sue Ken. What do you think the Buck's going to bring?
That was different?
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Well, it's really surprising the amount of changes he's made.
He's an interesting character, all right. But I think they
would have been gutted. I mean, we played really well.
I think that first twenty minutes those two tries blew
them off the park and they took a lot. You know,
that took a lot out of them and they didn't
really come back that well, it was only right at
the end of the game when they were starting to
play decent rugby. So with all the changes, Look, I'm
(37:51):
looking forward to the game. I don't know it's going
to be bloody interesting.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Andy Wellington's not exactly the fortress for the ull Blacks
that or it never really has been, truth.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Be known, But I don't know how much that comes
into it nowadays with psychology and all the experts they've
got in the background. But I know, I think it'll
be a great game of football. Who knows what the
spring box will bring? Small line outs in midfield?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Who knows Satan Dan stop foods? Here in Gord's this
way to get in touch.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Just eight hundred number, which is eight hundred isgtdam.

land can be a laughing matter. Brought to us by
