Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good afternoon and welcome to the muster on Haknui. Andy
Mule here until two o'clock thanks to Peter's geneis welcome
along on another damp afternoon, started raining and gore mid morning,
probably about ten thirty. And unfortunately it is just a
September that we're faced with. I'll Phil Duncan and weather
watches on the show to Murray concidentally to give us
(00:31):
a bit of an idea on the weather for the
next seven days. But going at the long range forecast
is looking better than what it is and least be honest,
it needs to be the GDP as far as that goes.
The data was out for the last for the June
quarter fell by zero point nine percent, So just something
else to consider over your lunchtime. Toasting you with the
(00:52):
likes musical wise too, the Boss Bruce Springsteen Day Forecasts
brought to you by twin Farm, Teffrom and suff Text.
The proof is in the progeny Teffron dot co dot nzen.
This afternoon raymard breezy, we sell easterlys and a high
of nine. Friday party cloudy were like northerleis negative one
(01:14):
and twelve best greens frosts, doesn't it. Saturday cloudy with
breezing or easterly seven and fifteen, Sunday morning showers of
breezing or westerly three and fifteen, and Monday cloudy with
breezy northerlyas six and sixteen. So glass fell on their aspect.
I suppose looking into next week, sour temperatures this afternoon
Clinton eight point four, Harriet nine point two, Northern South
(01:37):
from eight point two, rivetson ten, Tianna on nine point one, two,
Row At nine, Winton eight point five and Woodlands at nine.
Jordi eight of Riverton starts us off now. Jordi texted
earlier and said this rainfall is ridiculous. We're getting close
to last year's figures for September already, so he gives
(01:57):
some context around that. Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland, is
on the show as well, Katrina Thomas of the South
and Rural Support Truss and the Beef and lambslot Lynn Barry.
We catch up with Lynn. She's back from her holiday
after a holiday so she's been to the North Island
after a tour of All the Stars. So we catch
up with Lynn and see what's been happening and residents
(02:18):
Sporting gury Nathan Burdon a bit to digest there as
far as the southern sporting landscape, but as well we
celebrate what has been golden week for New Zealand track
and field. Andrew Martin fills them for Dave Morrison this
afternoon to give an update from the Charlton sale yards
post wise what happened there, and then we'll start the
show with Jordie Ye. This is the muster until two o'clock.
Thanks to Peters Genetics, we're away to the river era
(02:55):
of the South, which is Riverton. This is the muster
of the song is bored in the USA or down
He is born in the USA, but Jordi Eat is
farming over at Riverton joins us this afternoon. He is
a dairy farm to go to go along with the
sheep farming operation. Good afternoon, Jordy, or that doesn't sound
as it's too good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, that's a bit of a challenge anyhow you can, Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Look we're hoping over here. But the figure is these
rainfall figures. Do you tell me before the rain you've
had for September go through these figures for us Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It was pretty funny, you said people in the USA.
But like Forrest Gump, we've had sideways rain, we've fed
upwards rain, we've fed we haven't had much just straight
downwards rain. But we've had for September return in twenty mils.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's almost lamb last year's proportions, is it not.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, we had two twenty for the whole September last year,
so we're running the head September we've had since we've
been on this farm. We've been here in two thousand
and one was twenty ten in the snowstorm. We had
two sixties. So we're we're on track for a recorder
or it's going to be a dry second half of September.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
How did August treat you would have been pretty good
on imagine, all things considered, which in a way was
a savior.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, well, still than twenty ydd mells, but you know,
probably a bit warmer, but you know, the dry July,
so I would have said it was probably a dry
well had a dry time of the year. Sort of
got in the cation from a couple of mates. We've
an ever drought, but no, I think we'll fair air
dry time of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, so your rainfall figures will be on power with
what you traditionally have probably above again yeah now.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Of court, straight back up again. So yeah, so I
would think we're probably just gonna have a normal ever
rainfall year of around that thirteen to fourteen hundred meals
for seasons. And I would say as we see out
the year.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, it's it's the eighteenth of February, eighteenth or September.
You've had what just on nine inches, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah. Yeah, Well we had thirty eight meals just on
Saturday alone, and most of that came pure sideways. So
I don't know how rain gates worked, but I suppose
are the angles works. But yeah, it got thirty eight
meals that day in it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
As far as the lambing situation, you're probably running the
guts of it as well.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, right in the guts of it. Now. I took
the decision this year to sort of about three days later,
and that was probably a bit of a savior. I'd
just haven they had dead lemb telly up there or
forty least the last year, so that's probably a bit
of a positive, even though a bit more rain, but
grass covers have definitely happened more than I had this
time last year. And we're at the next lot to
start lemon yesterday, and you know, i've been Hold've been
(05:17):
able to have sort of three days later that then
going out too, which has been a bit of a benefit.
So you know, in all positive, it's nice we've had.
Nice to see a bit of wind, but not extreme
lot we've had because the wind does dry things out
of it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And you're so temperature today over there Riverton ten degrees.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, well that's surprising.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
If you'd asked me what it was, I wouldn't have
said it'll be ten degrees because we certainly do need
it to grow it because it hasn't grown much in
the last ten days.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What would you have said? It was probably about six
to seven?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah, I would have seen above
the six, but probably seven seven ish, I would have said,
because we definitely haven't been you know, that's probably only
just climbed out because of the last two or three days.
But you know, at the weekend, I would have said
it was probably six or seven.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So how are your feed covers?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, on the sheet phone and you're not too bad.
Every phone are on the second round, we sort of
do something a bit different there. We just sort of
probably gallop around and try not do past damage, and
then second round and were up and shed feeding or
do stilos. I don't see much. Yeah, I'm sort of
new to the dairy game that I don't see much
and damaging passes and trying to push that that first
(06:22):
round out to the end of September and then stuff
you passes along the way that doesn't go of me.
So yeah, so I sort of find it's better just
to you know, south and it's going to come right
somewhere along the line. And I mean last year it
took a bit longer, but yeah, you normally get it
out in the long run.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
As far as carving, that'll be well through, I'd imagine, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well through. We're down to sort of the last sort
of fifteen, so things have really gone well there. We're
ahead of production, not so much for the year yet,
we're going to be shortly, but we're head of for September.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So intense. How intensive on the landing.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Be are you?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh, I'm still reasoning intends I do the morning and afternoon.
But it's nice sort of since we had the during fun.
The sheep don't scan a high I used to wat
traditionally scan around that two teen was. Now I'm down
around that one nineteen, so I don't have quite the
trips I used to them. That hands removed a lot
of my work. But you know, one of the biggest things,
I think probably for the lambing that was used in
(07:16):
the last four or five years, the dextros into the stomach,
and I'm quite a bigificate of that, and that sort
of saved a lot of my time and ease. And
you know, I can get these lambs inside and they
don't have to have their clossroom straight away, you know,
then get on the warm and get warmed up, then
get the classroom when they've sort of come around it.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Because you go into wool sheds around the South at
the moment and all you can see is lambs just
under cover under the warmth of the hate lamp or whatever.
There's coffee mugs everywhere, there's music going because that's just
part and pars and unfortunately it seems as though the
mother nature's giving us another syrup.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, it's part and fast and I probably you know
when the weather's flying to the day for it is
probably quite a pleasurable sort of a job, and you
only enjoy a beer there. We have a few drinks
sitting on the on the and the fridge the end
that you can act a variety at the end of
the day and when it's a nice good day, it's
quite a pleasable to sit in the en habit of
the yard and reflect what's gone down.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, that's a great tip you bring up there as well, Geordy,
because we coincidentally you have the real support trusts good
trine to Thomas Design. She's speaking of the beef and
lambs start this afternoon, but asking farmers about tips what
they do at this time of year, just to deviate
away from the norm, to break up the monoton the
other day, especially when mother nature isn't playing well. What's
a couple of other things you reckon are a good idea?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Another one is I go to the Rainbow Confectory nearly
empty them out of seconds lollies, and so I always
have lolly's on hand and the sheet there, so when
you ever walking past, you can just grab a lolly
and chew on it for the next half an hour
or so, or a lollipop or something like that, you know,
just something to change the scenery and I mean in
some mess. So it's quite good because the kids, the
(08:50):
kids are pretty keen to come and get it too
when you know it's lolly involved.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Those pair of over lollies kick but oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You know he had to run on the mask.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Actually I think we've got there much of them. We
haven't really got on there this.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Year really, so we can blame you for that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, they weren't on the seconds popular we.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Talk about the situation on head as well. Look, that's
a big thing at the moment, isn't it. Just trying
to keep yourself fresh when you're going through groundhog Day
when the weather isn't playing ball, So just offering tips
and just catching up with mates, sending a snap, seeing
and getting on a WhatsApp group or whatever and just
chewing the fat, taking the purse. You just do what
you got to do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Oh, you're definitely over Ruben Hopcroft. And we're probably in
communication to all three teachers a day of it. And
if I'm not seeing them on the road, and I mean,
you know, you just always touch on base and I've
got another mates and deeply when we picked Thompson at
at Thompson's Crossing, and I mean we're always in communication
one another. Just a bit of a laugh, and you know,
you've got to see the sun comes out and seuth
and new spervice does keep you down. But yeah, they
(09:52):
just got to hope that it comes out the long run.
I mean, we just killed the last of their dreg
glenns last two days ago, and the team dollars thirty.
I just hope we can still keep a portion of
that when we actually do start killing lambs. That would
be like great, that's as.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Good as money as you've seen for red meat.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh ever, yeah, totally yeah, you know, and to get
that sort of money for Italian lambs, it's just you know,
are we left at the wrong time? Shouldn't we be?
You know, it sort of makes an embarrassment, really is
when you come to December and that you know, we
near the money.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You get in the past, and just before you finish
up as well. I mean you can talk about positives
or stags. They've got the chance for redemption this weekend,
al right. You just got to flush the daddy on Sunday.
That was terrible what they served up at Rugby Park.
So they've got Wellington. I think they might not have
beaten them since two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, they've got I just saw there this morning too,
that sort of without two of their strike.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah they've been bad boys.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, been bad boys. But they sort of looked as
though that they probably need a bit of a spell anyway.
But yeah, it was pretty bad weekend to really be
a South and supporter after All Black. So I don't
know whether it get any worse. I mean, whether that
stuff sort of comes in threes, I don't know, but yeah, South,
I would have said probably the Southern's performance was actually
even worse than the All Blacks one. Really.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, of that last ten minutes, all those tries just
appeared out of nowhere, and at one stage Ame Amim
appeared saying stop it the dead already, the old Simpsons quote,
But we go again to stag fans of nothing else,
the golden ness on the left, we live in hope.
Always got to catch up, Jordy Reid, and appreciate your
time when the battle's going on.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Not let the sun shine, yea.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Jordy Reed over at Riverton hardly the river era of
the South was more of a weaver of the river
at the south two hundred and twenty mils so far
for September. There's some rainfall. Figure Joseph Mooney here, Peter
Southern's up next. Joseph Mooney is MP for Southland and
(11:58):
joins us this afternoon. On the good afternoon. Joseph. Now
you're the MP for the biggest electorate in New Zealand,
are you not? So? How's that cargoing? Anyway? You must
have to renew the tires on it once every six months,
just about.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I'd like to claim there, but I did a bit
of fact checking and discovered on the second biggest we'll
go up the second veggas generally so West Coast Tasman
is a thousand squeak loner is bigger, but Southland is
thirty one thousand and thirteen squak kilometers, which make means
it's bigger than Belgium geographically. But if you put if
you have three electrics in the South one myself White
(12:36):
Techie Mornerson in West Coast Tessman or in Pew. Between
the three of us we represent sixty seven percent of
the South Lindes geography and that's the twelfth biggest island.
The world does quite a bit of country.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, if you talk about the biggest electorate arguably is
rug and Tie because they've got the Chatam Islands.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Well if we included the ocean, I suppose it would
be because there's about a two hour flight one way.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It's a long way to go to the chair them
know there. Now, Joseph will start off us straight off
the back the backtrack by the government regarding agriculture and
horticulture as secondary school subjects. Why did this even come
on the table? They just didn't read the room.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Look from what I understand is I don't know all
the details of it, be fair, but officials, you know,
they put together a packager and I think they are
the obviously heard feedback from people about the sidings to
(13:34):
make change the equal subjects subjects. Minister Stamford ark the
Ministry Education Review. They acknowledged it and complete advice was
given and following that they of their recommendation which the
Minister accepted. So a result equation hortical sciences being reinitated
as a ministry subject that year twelve and year thirteen
(13:54):
and agri business can still be incorporated to business studies.
So just acknowledging that agriculture and primary are incredibly important
growth sector US. This government wants to double the sector
and having people who have their expertise and background and
coming through that through school is really important.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you have to understand that retraction was bigger than
the South African side. Step.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
One of the one of the challenges that you scover
when you work in this field is there can be
often a mismatch between the intention of the government and
intensions of a minister and how that's interpreted by officials
and not want to throw shade and officials, but there
can be a particular lens on things. And I guess
(14:41):
that's one of the really important roles of having elected
hims of Parliament who are able to feed, you know,
theaking scenes of their communities back in to to going
time to where these obviously makers often work and and
they often frankly don't I don't understand the regions. They don't.
They don't they haven't come from our regions on a
(15:01):
lot of cases, they don't spend time in the regions
and it's a different world, Like it really is a
different world. I mean, just the scale of my region
isn't conceivable to most people in Wellington. It's academically interesting,
but it's what it actually means. You know, you need
people who like myself for example, who can who can
(15:24):
push it forward, and it's great having someone in the
community as well to push it back on that when
when mistakes are amazing, like the official acknowledge that was
in this case a bill for.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The biscuit tin. I love this biscuit tin. It's fascinating.
Whether it's an old tin, sample, a pack or what.
I don't know. You might be able to tell us
a bit more about this, but we talked about this
with Graham Butcher on the show yesterday, Joseph regarding the
ability to prohibit civil lawsuits against greenhouse gases and climate
change consequences.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, that's that's a really interesting one. So a chap
on ome of Michael Smith, who's sort of, I guess
previously most well known for cutting down one tree help,
but an activist. He's in the last few years focuses
attention on trying to create a new what's called a
tort or an action that can be taken in courts,
(16:16):
and basically there's three of them, but that's boiled down
to it is trying to make potentially in the bcause.
But he's focusing in the stage and organizations responsible for
their climate changing missions and the impact that has on
on what he would say, his land in the far North.
(16:36):
And so he focused on a number of organizations just
outset fon Terra, uh yeah, and in a number of
other major companies from the from the outset. But the
it's gone through sort of a number of different courts
at the Court of Appeal, the Court of Appeal of
judges said this is too complex, that involves complex international negotiations,
(16:59):
complex domestic policy considerations. It's not something for the courts
to deal with. Into the Supreme Court, and the Supreme
Court said, well, Harden hasn't explicitly ruled out this type
of new, you know, type of case because it hasn't
This hasn't existed before this type of court action, I said,
(17:19):
Parlon hasn't explicitly ruled it out, so therefore it can
go ahead. I am really concerned about that. Is this
hastentially massive implications for our economy, for businesses, for farmers,
for for everyone who you know, for people concerned about
the price of butter our, potentially some for the HEMP
(17:40):
pries that through the additional costs, and so I've put
a put drafted the bill and put it in the
biscuit done to rule out that that kind of law
or sorry, so that that type of action. So yep,
the Supreme Court, right parten has explicitly ruled it out.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I think we.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Should explicitly ruled out. So that's currently sitting the biscuits
and and we're waiting to see if that gets pulled out,
and I certainly hope it does.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Tell us about this biscuit is an old Is it
an old sample a box from the sixties or do
you renewit every year? After morning SMOKEO? What's a go on?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Years ago, someone went down to Briscoes or something like
that and I just bought bought the basket ten there's
quite a big tin, but literally as a tin, and
brought it back. So you know, there's there's one hundred
and something different MP's have got members bills and they
had a number that they assigned to each one and
(18:35):
they put they put you know, some as it counters
with the numbers on them in the biscuit tin. And
then they slept one one person who works at Parliament
on the staff. You know, they slipped different people each
time and they put their hand in blind after it's
been mixed around, and pull one out. And that's that's
the you know, that's that's that that that then goes
(18:56):
into Parliament and can potentially become more. There's something that's
quite unique new Yelling. I don't think from memory any
other partner has anything quite like it. But it gives
a chance for back benches to potentially, you know, put
in some some legal changes around different things. And it's
quite it's quite a cool mechanism. So I means not
only ministers can potentially make and correct law and his Zealand,
(19:19):
but back benches have an opportunity to do so as well.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So there's never actually been any biscuits in the biscuits
and I feel rapped.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Not to my knowledge, I can't rule it out completely,
but not to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, there's your home wreck for the next week. Now
the other thing as well, and piled it last night.
You're an urgency the third reading of the Forestry Conversion Bill.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's gone through YEP, passed last night with support from
all parties except for the Green Party into party money.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Look, I I.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It was a nice sort of circle for me actually
because I helped shape this policy before the election when
I was the Forester spokesperson. And you know, I should
stress that the primary sector is incredibly important and that
includes agriculture and includes forestry. Be concerned here is that
(20:08):
carbon forestry is skewed the playing field and also potentially
as permanently used change because of the way the ETS
settings work and just the way that the pricing structure works.
So we put them put in place where we can't
national party campaign on a policy, and we were the
only one to do it this, mind you, The only
one is to campaign on a policy at the election
(20:30):
to put restrictions on carbon forestry. And as you know,
we won the election obviously, so we have a mandate.
We've worked with our other coalition partners and we've got
this through and in fact have got the support of
Labor last night to focus into or that press a bit,
you know, some decision around this piece of legislation. But
(20:51):
I was I was as just pure chance, I happened
to be in the whip chi last night, so I
managed to get the very last speech course the part
of the Maori went in the House, so I managed
to get the speech day or those would have had
the past one and I got to cast Wooden one
boats or nocial party to make this launches. It was
quite quite quite cool on my.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Manager forwards to finish ut with Joseph Mooney right tree,
right place. Always appreciate your time on the muster.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Good ante cheers, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland on the Muster. Katrina Thomas
from soeuth and Ural Support Trust joins us next in
the Beef and Lamb slot.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
The Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef and
Lamb New Zealand Click Beef lambendz dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Katrina Thomas joins us on behalf of the South and
Rural Support Trust this afternoon and our Beef and Lamb segment.
Katrina good to check once again we cat join the CAFs.
How's everything been?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Oh, it's always a beautiful experience. Indeed, I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Think I've ever heard of calving is referred to in
those terms before, or lammis.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Oh look, I think you love number one calf and
you're excited and you get set up and then you remember,
oh yeah, okay, but you've got is it's hard work.
It is hard work mutually and physically. But you've also
got to remember these are your future seats.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So it's no happy epiphany or anything when you're come
out of the line like that.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Well yeah, you know sometimes you know, you have your
little moments.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So there's life in general though. Look Selfmeral Fortress. We've
talked to the team quite a bit over the last
twelve months and the branch on us events have been
going really well. Tepanui tomorrow they turn yes, yes it is.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
It is Teanu's turn tomorrow, so Friday, so they've been
rolling out events in the time. I've actually been rolling
out across the country. Actually, so Otago got the final
one at the Teppanoy Golf Club and they kick up
at eleven o'clock until one, so.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Look, just popping.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Just come as you are, grab the team and do that.
We finished hours. We've rolled out out over sort of
the end of August in September, and we had them
across the across the country or across Southland, really really
good turnout and sometimes it wasn't a huge turnout. But look,
it's not all about you know, quantity. You know, it's
(23:27):
about quality, taking time off, you know, wanting to come
and connect with farmers and chat about, you know, what's happening.
And as we were doing that, yes, we were getting
towards the end of end of carving, getting past that.
You know, over here be six or eight weeks of
AI and the cheap ones, you know, they were just starting.
But it was really good to talk to them and
(23:49):
to hear what they're doing because once again I was
talking to the neighbors and're like, oh, yeah, yeah, the
triplets are doing this. All the triplets are doing that.
Year we've got a few pets or the two dudes
of you know, whatever it has got. I used to
hate mothering out those two sort of other light brainless teenagers. Anyway,
but you're chatting with people of light minded people and
(24:12):
at the end of the day, if you just want
to come, have a copper, have some ki and just chats.
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You found farmers in the community in general happy to
come out to these events. Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I think that there's a number of them. We know,
as soon as they see, you know, the material go
out that we're having these I think they put them
in their diaries. I also know we've got a lot
of people who had never come before, and I think
that's a big, big thank you to our ural professionals
who also sponsor us and help us with that, who
also pass it on. So they're telling their clients about
(24:49):
these events and to come along, and then they're also
getting told by mother cousins and their neighbors and everything
else as well. So it's good to see some newbies.
Great to see the oldies. And when I say oldies,
I don't mean is a mature in age, but those
who do come and I'm barely up up in Tianna. Pamu,
there are all your teams. Well we've never had that before,
(25:11):
So thank you Pamu for investing that time in your
and your team. And it's just great, great to see
to see people because they don't have to struggle by Themseunds,
the Royal Support Trust. We're there to encourage farmers to
talk to farmers.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
The whole team of Parmu. Turning out they would have
been one hundred and fifty jeepers, especially up in the basin.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Well yeah there was a barrier that was fair few
of them, but hey, look that's that's.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Great and the next thing absolutely yeah, good on you.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
And that's what we had out in Chiantas to do that.
So you're still for those who always to tag you've
got tapanui. Now, wasn't that some other news to share too?
Andy About the self and Royal Support Trust, we've had
a few changes in the in the operational side. So
we had Fiona Coma who've been around for quite some
time and who has now become a facilitator and I'll
(26:03):
explain what that is in a minute, but we've got
a new operation coordinator which is Emily Wolsey. Many will
know know her. Her and I and Rachel Nicholson and
Rachel Nicholson is our Wowness coordinator. All three of us
used to be with Dairy Women's Network, I think way
back prior to probably twenty fourteen twenty fifteen, so we're
back working together. So Emily has come on board as
(26:26):
the as the main coordinator operations for the seven Royal
Support Trust. Rachel Nicholson is the Awareness coordinator. So when
you call on that eight hundred number, you'll get one
of our facilitators or trustees. We'll get those details it
then goes to Rachel and she triages what she's going
to do with that case. So she's a very very
crucial cog in the whole bigger wheel. And then there's
(26:48):
Out for doing all all the calms and communication and
cheating to you and telling people about the Royal Support Trust.
But then we also have another layer outside the trustee,
who are the governance, we also have what are the facilitators,
and they're the people that Rachel work with who go
up the dry ways to see farmers, so people who
(27:09):
may have contacted us and want a visit, and we
generally do it with two people. So now the team
male and female out of the team and these are
the facilitators. So we've now got on the Southland Royal
Support Trust Facebook page you'll see we're calling for expressions
of interest. It's a voluntary role and the applications are
going to close on the first of October. But using
(27:30):
contact Emily the details on there to find out about
how you can get involved. So if you've ever thought
about giving back in that rural sector, and especially if
you've been involved, you know as a farmer or a grower,
because we want different ages and stages and abilities and things.
Please have a look at that advert and please put
your hand up if you want, but it is it
(27:51):
is voluntary, so that's what's happening. There never a dull
moment with the real Support Trust. But we are here
for people to call us if they need to and
of course it's on eight hundred seven eight seven two
five four. You can check us out on our website,
so just google that and also check out the South
and Royal Sport Trust Facebook page. We're here as a
(28:14):
conduit to help farmers keep moving forward. You don't have
to struggle by yourself, and.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's a big thing for farmers to realize. We see
it twelve months ago talking to the team and what
was going on, and very similar. If somebody needs a hand,
a problem shared is a problem halved, and it's a
saying I pretty much go by on a regular basis
because hey, you got to you got to talk about things,
right you do, and that's what.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
We work out ages ago. Farmers need to talk to farmers.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Oh they were terrible at it once upon a time.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Absolutely good because they got their own they've got their
own solutions.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
It's like, oh, yeah, I had that problem and this
is what I did, or if you know someone who
went through that and they have a chat to them.
So you've got your neighbors, you've got your cousins, you've
got everything else. You've also got all your raw professionals
around you as well. Also keep up the contact with
theme because you know they love to come and have
a cup of tea, some of them, some of them.
(29:11):
Keep up the content.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, wise words is alway, Katrina, always appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
All right, good talking, Andy, and let's hope we see
that the yellow thing out there very very shortly.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Katrina Thomas of a Southern rural support truss On behalf
of Thief and Lamb. Yeahs, stick to the muster. Before
the end of the yellur Our Residents sporting guru Nathan
Brynan joins us. Up next though, Lynn Berry start you
just start thistns behind. This is the muster. Lynn Berry
(29:52):
joins us once again. She's been over touring all the
stunts and recently returned from a couple of weeks in
the North Island.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, and it is good.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
It stopped raining up here.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
We've got a bit of snow on the top of
the dumpstons last night. But it's just a bit windy,
but the sunshining.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a light ground condition wise be pretty saturated, is it.
It's not too bad.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
We're actually a bit dry.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Good goodness.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Oh, it's quite surprised when I was walking around when
I got home yesterday and garden was pretty dry, and
I was talking to somebody else and they're saying they
hadn't had a lot of rain. So the rain we
got last night was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
We're talking about heifers today, checking heifers before mating. Of course,
carving is just about done for a lot of people
and all of a sudden mating comes around.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Yeah, it's really important to be making sure that your
young stocks are growing well. They're the future of your
hurt and they need to be looked after. So it's
really important. And I know everyone's been busy over carving,
but we're coming up. We're just about finished in a
lot of cases. We are looking at mating coming up,
(31:02):
so it's important to just pop out and have a
look at those heapers that are away grazing, making sure
that they're at the weights that you need, and also
catching up with the grazier to see what's going to
be happening over the spring and the mating time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, an interesting point you bring up there. Of course,
heaf is away on twelve months grazing. Having a relationship
with the graziers is the big thing, right.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Oh, it's really important because it's no good just sticking
them on the truck, sending them away and then getting
them back. Is in carf in the wintertime and they
walk off the truck and you go, oh, my goodness, greaters,
they are like skin and bone, or they're not to
the size or the condition or the weights that you
(31:52):
were expecting to be. So having really good grades in
contracts sees how so that everybody knows that you know,
when the animals come on farmers they come as when
cards that they are at a set weight, and then
have good weight targets for those animals as they progress
(32:16):
to in car hippers have written down who's responsible for
the animal health, like what the animal health program is
going to be. It may be that you send a
staff member up there when it's time to do some
drenching or whatever to give the grazier a hand, or
you're doing it yourself, or the grazier does it all
(32:38):
by themselves, So that needs to be set out in
a good contract. Also what the animal health pain is
going to be around perspective feeding levels. If you have
a weight gain contract or you have targets weight, what
those targets weights are, so that the expectation is written
(33:00):
in black and white and there can't be any arguing
about it. And also what's going to happen at making time,
So who's going to organize the balls, what type of
bulls if you have balls, helen they're going to be
in for if you're going to ai your heapers, and
the involvement of everybody around that and how that is
(33:23):
going to work as well. So a good contract is
really important with well set out expectations.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
That's the big thing about this having that contract, because
a handshake doesn't cut the mustard if it goes to
gag oh no.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And in my time I've seen some contracts that's round
grazing that have well they're not even contracts, as you said,
they were a handshake that have turned to custard right
at the end and hepers have come home and they
have not met their weight gain targets. And then we
have the follow on is shoes with them carving light
(34:00):
condition and they're not cycling as soon as they should be,
so then they end up being late for the rest
of their lives. Because if they're late in that first
year getting in cast, then they'll be late for the
rest of their life. And it's a big loss in
production and genetics for your farm.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And you're reckon something else you want to touch on
at the moment. Don't be a grumpy bum.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Well, it's not. Everybody's going to be grumpy a little
bit at the moment because what we're near the end
of September through carving, so some people have started carving
in the middle of July and we've had haven't been
too bad as far as weather conditions go, but it's
long hours, it's a lot of work, and you traditionally
(34:46):
we've seen at this time in the year September October
stuff moving around because they've got to the end of
it or the pressures come off, and everybody's been tied
and grumpy, and it only takes one conversation or one
little thing to happen, or in some cases a number
and they throw their hands up in the air and
(35:09):
I'm not working here anymore, and I go find another
job somewhere else, and you've had those staff all through
carving and you've they've gained all that experience from working
with you over carving, and have them leave. It's actually
quite a big cost on a business to then find
(35:29):
replacements and then train them up for working on your
farm and how you manage your animals and feed and
the shed. So it's really important to sit down, have
it yack with your staff and see how they're getting
on now that the pressure. Maybe you've come off a
(35:50):
little bit, maybe getting a few more sleepings or an
extra half day off somewhere along the line, but you know,
making sure that everybody is happy as possibly can be
at this time of the year, and the good staff
are hard to come by, and good staff are really
important to make sure your business is picking over.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, good words, Lynn, especially regetting the fruit juice at
the end of the day as you call it, just
to decire for things. Always appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
He's all right, you have a good day, Lynn Berry.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the muster before we finish up our residents
sporting Gury Nathan Burden, I think we need to talk
some rugby residents spoting gury Nathan Burden joins us once
again this afternoon on the Muster. Good afternoon, Nath. The
(36:46):
Stags redemption is needed and quickly. They're playing Wellington at
Potty Rower this weekend. That game on Sunday, Let's be honest,
that was a pathetic game of rugby from Southland. I'm sorry.
We've got to be we have to be up front
about that, right, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I think you know, even even co coach James Wilson
used the word embarrassing, and he's not wrong. It was.
It was a very tough watch, A tough watch at
the end of a tough wee king, wasn't it. After
the Warriors went down the the a B's losing by
called margin, and then the and then the Stags and
a game which which really should have been their opportunity
(37:24):
to get a foothold back into the season and make
some sort of a push towards a playoff spot just
absolutely tank. That didn't They against a counties team that
had that had everything against them. They had to. They
had to bust down from Christ Hurts for heaving sake
the day before the game. It only got it got
in at two o'clock in the morning, but gee, you
(37:45):
would have thought it was the other way around by
what we saw on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Hoskins too too. I watched the guy. He had a
really strong game. The abs don't want him, but counties
will keep him in that form before Southland? Where did
it go so wrong? Just nothing seemed to click on
that backclowing special cev Reese. You got an all black
on the wing, they never used them.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it sounds like there was
a game plan, but the players certainly weren't following it.
And then all the I guess, all the cards that
they had to play, particularly in terms of having some
some impact from Philaton Penny and Samessi Tupo Tailawa, you know,
two players have been key figures for the Stags this year,
(38:27):
and and coming off the bench that wasn't there, and
just the ability I mean, I mean, the game plan
had to be get the ball into savy Reese's hands.
And to be honest, the wee boy that brought the
ball out to start the game probably got more time
and position than did for the for the whole game.
So you know, obviously there was the wind they had
(38:49):
they had to win in the first half they made
They really made no they made no profit out of that.
Had they were facing a heavy deficit, it was probably
effectively over at halftime, really, wasn't it. He had back
into the wins. So if anything, I guess they just
need to scrub that entirely. They need to look back
at it at the likes of the White Caddo game,
that Bay a Plenty game obviously second half against Mona
(39:12):
or two. Look at the good stuff they were doing there.
It's a team that's capable. And you know, this is
a Wellington team that's been pretty up and down this year,
so they are probably takeable up in part roar. But
it would have to be the team the stout the
Southern team of a few weeks ago, not the Southern
team of last weekend.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
And they've got their all blacks back as well. Peter
Lachlan k Yeah, just to throw that into the equation, right.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Through all blacks, Kyle Preston, Reuben Love, You're coming back
into the equations. So that just seems to be a lot,
doesn't it. We seem to be the team that is
at the abs, through the through the rehead players.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Back up again.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
But yeah, as we said, I mean that was it
was a similar situation in a week game in Hamilton
a few weeks ago, which does feel a long time
ago now, but as we always say, a week is
a long time in sport, and as you mentioned before,
redemption is only eighty minutes away.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
For the Stags, the Black Ferns, who've got the semi
final against Canada at the Rugby World Cup.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Amy do to see gone, Yeah, you're just yeah, really
disappointing for Amy picking up that shoulder injury in the
in the first pool game and not being able to recover.
And you know, she's been such a force in domestic
rugby over the last couple of seasons, super rugby, opicky
level with Marta II, and then you know this was
(40:32):
probably this was her tournament, I guess to be able
to really bighlight her abilities at international level. But you
know that's I guess that sport. Injuries are just a
big part of it. We've still got a presence here
with Amy. We're all coming off the bench and what's
a what's a massive game against Canada. There's been some
big tussles between these two teams in recent years and
(40:55):
it's by no means a fade compley, even though we've
we've been able to avoid the likes of France and
England on the other side of the draw. So I
think after a game against Ireland, where against South Africa sorry,
where the Black Friends probably win as dominant as they
would have liked to have been, they'll want to put
a statement performance out there in this game, get the
(41:16):
win and then see who they are who they get
in in the final at Twickenham.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
This is a great story from mkiwe Lens, Judy Beamish
World champion three thousand meters steeple chase after falling in
the in the heats of such and getting stopped on
for goodness sake, and hamush Ka getting the Olympic World
Championship double going up two centimeters two meters thirty six
to win as well. This is really cool.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Yeah, hureage, isn't it. I mean a sport that probably
it doesn't necessarily get the headlines that probably deserves. You know,
it's a long way behind probably some of our major
sports in terms of grabbing those headlines. But jee, I
think the other day in New Zealand was like fourth
on the medal table at the World champs after those
gold meat which is which is just outstanding And and yeah,
(42:02):
you're right, I mean that that vision of Jordy Beamish
going down, copping some sprigs to the to the side
of the head, getting back up, managing to to to
qualify through to the final, I mean just the way
he won it, like to run down his opponent. Who
is the man when it comes to the to the
three k steeple chase. He's done everything in that sport
(42:24):
was just and he and Jordy just seems like, you know,
I don't know a lot about this guy. He just
seems like such a happy, go lucky sort of a character.
You know. It was fantastic and I just I guess
any chance will you see the New Zealand Black singlet
on a track? And obviously we you know, we can
hark back to an amazing sort of legacy, but a
(42:47):
lot of that was in sort of black and white footage,
so it's great to see. It's great to see that
happening again. And yeah, Hamish care he's got some sort
of a career slam now, doesn't he. In terms of
World Champ, Olympics, Common Off Games, Indoor World Champs, Diamond leagues.
He's done it all and yeah, and he just sort
(43:08):
of seems to keep going. And he's even sort of
talking about potentially breaking the world record, which I think
he's sort of ten centimeters shy at the moment. So
Keiw's flying high.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Key's up, flowing high, Nathan, always appreciate your time. Adler's
up for Saturday. We need it.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yeah, handle's up, mate, Let's go.
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Laughed out loud with ag proud because life on the
land can be a laughing matter.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Brought to us play sheer Well data working to help
the livestock farmer Bob and his wife Susan decided to
have a diet for their summer vacation. After weeks of salads,
Susan suggested a cheap day. She came home with fish
and chips. Bob came home for secretary visiting Alice revive
at the hospital. Nine am. P Well, leave it there
(43:56):
for the afternoon. Thanks very much for your company. I'm
Andy Muher. This has been the master. How can we cheers?
The Peterson DDIX says tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (44:03):
So hey, well all right, sir, he'll go there And
where did he go on?
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Again? For stock selling action this afternoon we get a
rundown from Andrew Martin out of PGG writes in regarding
the prices, they've been pretty good lately, Andrew, good afternoon,
How do we go today? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (44:20):
Look, Charlton was no exception to what's what's been happening,
probably at throughout so yards across the South Island, minimal
sized yardings. We did have a reasonable book of pens
on the prime lambs, I think one maybe two pens
tipping the three hundred dollar mark. But we'll just quickly
(44:42):
whistle through those prices. Best of the lambs here to
day to sixty through to the early three hundred mark,
second cups of lambs two twenty through to about two
hundred and fifty dollars, with the third cut of the
lambs one seventy being about the bottom edge up until
the early two hundreds. Handfully use there. Mutton mutton as
(45:04):
it did a Launville on Tuesday, took a bit of
a lift. The best of the mutton there was probably
one seventy through to about two hundred and ten. Second
cut of mutton one fifty three to one sixty five.
Third cuts of mutton at one twenty through to about
one forty five with the real light edge there around
the ninety to one hundred and ten dollar mark, there
(45:28):
was one pen of views and lambs and they're all counted.
They made one hundred and thirty dollars, all counted, And
just any of the listeners out there, if you do
have prime lambs, just maybe start thinking about capitalizing on
that good pricing and also be mindful of teeth teeth
popping through, so maybe look to look to be moving
(45:50):
their mind in the next in the next week. While
that about wraps us up from Charlton for today and
Good afternoon and welcome to the muster on Haknui. Andy
Mule here until two o'clock thanks to Peter's geneis welcome
along on another damp afternoon, started raining and gore mid morning,
probably about ten thirty. And unfortunately it is just a
September that we're faced with. I'll Phil Duncan and weather
watches on the show to Murray concidentally to give us
(00:31):
a bit of an idea on the weather for the
next seven days. But going at the long range forecast
is looking better than what it is and least be honest,
it needs to be the GDP as far as that goes.
The data was out for the last for the June
quarter fell by zero point nine percent, So just something
else to consider over your lunchtime. Toasting you with the
(00:52):
likes musical wise too, the Boss Bruce Springsteen Day Forecasts
brought to you by twin Farm, Teffrom and suff Text.
The proof is in the progeny Teffron dot co dot nzen.
This afternoon raymard breezy, we sell easterlys and a high
of nine. Friday party cloudy were like northerleis negative one
(01:14):
and twelve best greens frosts, doesn't it. Saturday cloudy with
breezing or easterly seven and fifteen, Sunday morning showers of
breezing or westerly three and fifteen, and Monday cloudy with
breezy northerlyas six and sixteen. So glass fell on their aspect.
I suppose looking into next week, sour temperatures this afternoon
Clinton eight point four, Harriet nine point two, Northern South
(01:37):
from eight point two, rivetson ten, Tianna on nine point one, two,
Row At nine, Winton eight point five and Woodlands at nine.
Jordi eight of Riverton starts us off now. Jordi texted
earlier and said this rainfall is ridiculous. We're getting close
to last year's figures for September already, so he gives
(01:57):
some context around that. Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland, is
on the show as well, Katrina Thomas of the South
and Rural Support Truss and the Beef and lambslot Lynn Barry.
We catch up with Lynn. She's back from her holiday
after a holiday so she's been to the North Island
after a tour of All the Stars. So we catch
up with Lynn and see what's been happening and residents
(02:18):
Sporting gury Nathan Burdon a bit to digest there as
far as the southern sporting landscape, but as well we
celebrate what has been golden week for New Zealand track
and field. Andrew Martin fills them for Dave Morrison this
afternoon to give an update from the Charlton sale yards
post wise what happened there, and then we'll start the
show with Jordie Ye. This is the muster until two o'clock.
Thanks to Peters Genetics, we're away to the river era
(02:55):
of the South, which is Riverton. This is the muster
of the song is bored in the USA or down
He is born in the USA, but Jordi Eat is
farming over at Riverton joins us this afternoon. He is
a dairy farm to go to go along with the
sheep farming operation. Good afternoon, Jordy, or that doesn't sound
as it's too good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, that's a bit of a challenge anyhow you can, Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Look we're hoping over here. But the figure is these
rainfall figures. Do you tell me before the rain you've
had for September go through these figures for us Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It was pretty funny, you said people in the USA.
But like Forrest Gump, we've had sideways rain, we've fed
upwards rain, we've fed we haven't had much just straight
downwards rain. But we've had for September return in twenty mils.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's almost lamb last year's proportions, is it not.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, we had two twenty for the whole September last year,
so we're running the head September we've had since we've
been on this farm. We've been here in two thousand
and one was twenty ten in the snowstorm. We had
two sixties. So we're we're on track for a recorder
or it's going to be a dry second half of September.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
How did August treat you would have been pretty good
on imagine, all things considered, which in a way was
a savior.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, well, still than twenty ydd mells, but you know,
probably a bit warmer, but you know, the dry July,
so I would have said it was probably a dry
well had a dry time of the year. Sort of
got in the cation from a couple of mates. We've
an ever drought, but no, I think we'll fair air
dry time of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, so your rainfall figures will be on power with
what you traditionally have probably above again yeah now.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Of court, straight back up again. So yeah, so I
would think we're probably just gonna have a normal ever
rainfall year of around that thirteen to fourteen hundred meals
for seasons. And I would say as we see out
the year.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, it's it's the eighteenth of February, eighteenth or September.
You've had what just on nine inches, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah. Yeah, Well we had thirty eight meals just on
Saturday alone, and most of that came pure sideways. So
I don't know how rain gates worked, but I suppose
are the angles works. But yeah, it got thirty eight
meals that day in it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
As far as the lambing situation, you're probably running the
guts of it as well.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, right in the guts of it. Now. I took
the decision this year to sort of about three days later,
and that was probably a bit of a savior. I'd
just haven they had dead lemb telly up there or
forty least the last year, so that's probably a bit
of a positive, even though a bit more rain, but
grass covers have definitely happened more than I had this
time last year. And we're at the next lot to
start lemon yesterday, and you know, i've been Hold've been
(05:17):
able to have sort of three days later that then
going out too, which has been a bit of a benefit.
So you know, in all positive, it's nice we've had.
Nice to see a bit of wind, but not extreme
lot we've had because the wind does dry things out
of it.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And you're so temperature today over there Riverton ten degrees.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, well that's surprising.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
If you'd asked me what it was, I wouldn't have
said it'll be ten degrees because we certainly do need
it to grow it because it hasn't grown much in
the last ten days.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What would you have said? It was probably about six
to seven?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah, I would have seen above
the six, but probably seven seven ish, I would have said,
because we definitely haven't been you know, that's probably only
just climbed out because of the last two or three days.
But you know, at the weekend, I would have said
it was probably six or seven.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So how are your feed covers?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, on the sheet phone and you're not too bad.
Every phone are on the second round, we sort of
do something a bit different there. We just sort of
probably gallop around and try not do past damage, and
then second round and were up and shed feeding or
do stilos. I don't see much. Yeah, I'm sort of
new to the dairy game that I don't see much
and damaging passes and trying to push that that first
(06:22):
round out to the end of September and then stuff
you passes along the way that doesn't go of me.
So yeah, so I sort of find it's better just
to you know, south and it's going to come right
somewhere along the line. And I mean last year it
took a bit longer, but yeah, you normally get it
out in the long run.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
As far as carving, that'll be well through, I'd imagine, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well through. We're down to sort of the last sort
of fifteen, so things have really gone well there. We're
ahead of production, not so much for the year yet,
we're going to be shortly, but we're head of for September.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So intense. How intensive on the landing.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Be are you?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh, I'm still reasoning intends I do the morning and afternoon.
But it's nice sort of since we had the during fun.
The sheep don't scan a high I used to wat
traditionally scan around that two teen was. Now I'm down
around that one nineteen, so I don't have quite the
trips I used to them. That hands removed a lot
of my work. But you know, one of the biggest things,
I think probably for the lambing that was used in
(07:16):
the last four or five years, the dextros into the stomach,
and I'm quite a bigificate of that, and that sort
of saved a lot of my time and ease. And
you know, I can get these lambs inside and they
don't have to have their clossroom straight away, you know,
then get on the warm and get warmed up, then
get the classroom when they've sort of come around it.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Because you go into wool sheds around the South at
the moment and all you can see is lambs just
under cover under the warmth of the hate lamp or whatever.
There's coffee mugs everywhere, there's music going because that's just
part and pars and unfortunately it seems as though the
mother nature's giving us another syrup.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, it's part and fast and I probably you know
when the weather's flying to the day for it is
probably quite a pleasurable sort of a job, and you
only enjoy a beer there. We have a few drinks
sitting on the on the and the fridge the end
that you can act a variety at the end of
the day and when it's a nice good day, it's
quite a pleasable to sit in the en habit of
the yard and reflect what's gone down.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, that's a great tip you bring up there as well, Geordy,
because we coincidentally you have the real support trusts good
trine to Thomas Design. She's speaking of the beef and
lambs start this afternoon, but asking farmers about tips what
they do at this time of year, just to deviate
away from the norm, to break up the monoton the
other day, especially when mother nature isn't playing well. What's
a couple of other things you reckon are a good idea?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Another one is I go to the Rainbow Confectory nearly
empty them out of seconds lollies, and so I always
have lolly's on hand and the sheet there, so when
you ever walking past, you can just grab a lolly
and chew on it for the next half an hour
or so, or a lollipop or something like that, you know,
just something to change the scenery and I mean in
some mess. So it's quite good because the kids, the
(08:50):
kids are pretty keen to come and get it too
when you know it's lolly involved.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Those pair of over lollies kick but oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You know he had to run on the mask.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Actually I think we've got there much of them. We
haven't really got on there this.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Year really, so we can blame you for that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Well, they weren't on the seconds popular we.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Talk about the situation on head as well. Look, that's
a big thing at the moment, isn't it. Just trying
to keep yourself fresh when you're going through groundhog Day
when the weather isn't playing ball, So just offering tips
and just catching up with mates, sending a snap, seeing
and getting on a WhatsApp group or whatever and just
chewing the fat, taking the purse. You just do what
you got to do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Oh, you're definitely over Ruben Hopcroft. And we're probably in
communication to all three teachers a day of it. And
if I'm not seeing them on the road, and I mean,
you know, you just always touch on base and I've
got another mates and deeply when we picked Thompson at
at Thompson's Crossing, and I mean we're always in communication
one another. Just a bit of a laugh, and you know,
you've got to see the sun comes out and seuth
and new spervice does keep you down. But yeah, they
(09:52):
just got to hope that it comes out the long run.
I mean, we just killed the last of their dreg
glenns last two days ago, and the team dollars thirty.
I just hope we can still keep a portion of
that when we actually do start killing lambs. That would
be like great, that's as.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Good as money as you've seen for red meat.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh ever, yeah, totally yeah, you know, and to get
that sort of money for Italian lambs, it's just you know,
are we left at the wrong time? Shouldn't we be?
You know, it sort of makes an embarrassment, really is
when you come to December and that you know, we
near the money.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You get in the past, and just before you finish
up as well. I mean you can talk about positives
or stags. They've got the chance for redemption this weekend,
al right. You just got to flush the daddy on Sunday.
That was terrible what they served up at Rugby Park.
So they've got Wellington. I think they might not have
beaten them since two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, they've got I just saw there this morning too,
that sort of without two of their strike.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah they've been bad boys.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, been bad boys. But they sort of looked as
though that they probably need a bit of a spell anyway.
But yeah, it was pretty bad weekend to really be
a South and supporter after All Black. So I don't
know whether it get any worse. I mean, whether that
stuff sort of comes in threes, I don't know, but yeah, South,
I would have said probably the Southern's performance was actually
even worse than the All Blacks one. Really.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, of that last ten minutes, all those tries just
appeared out of nowhere, and at one stage Ame Amim
appeared saying stop it the dead already, the old Simpsons quote,
But we go again to stag fans of nothing else,
the golden ness on the left, we live in hope.
Always got to catch up, Jordy Reid, and appreciate your
time when the battle's going on.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Not let the sun shine, yea.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Jordy Reed over at Riverton hardly the river era of
the South was more of a weaver of the river
at the south two hundred and twenty mils so far
for September. There's some rainfall. Figure Joseph Mooney here, Peter
Southern's up next. Joseph Mooney is MP for Southland and
(11:58):
joins us this afternoon. On the good afternoon. Joseph. Now
you're the MP for the biggest electorate in New Zealand,
are you not? So? How's that cargoing? Anyway? You must
have to renew the tires on it once every six months,
just about.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I'd like to claim there, but I did a bit
of fact checking and discovered on the second biggest we'll
go up the second veggas generally so West Coast Tasman
is a thousand squeak loner is bigger, but Southland is
thirty one thousand and thirteen squak kilometers, which make means
it's bigger than Belgium geographically. But if you put if
you have three electrics in the South one myself White
(12:36):
Techie Mornerson in West Coast Tessman or in Pew. Between
the three of us we represent sixty seven percent of
the South Lindes geography and that's the twelfth biggest island.
The world does quite a bit of country.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Well, if you talk about the biggest electorate arguably is
rug and Tie because they've got the Chatam Islands.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Well if we included the ocean, I suppose it would
be because there's about a two hour flight one way.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It's a long way to go to the chair them
know there. Now, Joseph will start off us straight off
the back the backtrack by the government regarding agriculture and
horticulture as secondary school subjects. Why did this even come
on the table? They just didn't read the room.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Look from what I understand is I don't know all
the details of it, be fair, but officials, you know,
they put together a packager and I think they are
the obviously heard feedback from people about the sidings to
(13:34):
make change the equal subjects subjects. Minister Stamford ark the
Ministry Education Review. They acknowledged it and complete advice was
given and following that they of their recommendation which the
Minister accepted. So a result equation hortical sciences being reinitated
as a ministry subject that year twelve and year thirteen
(13:54):
and agri business can still be incorporated to business studies.
So just acknowledging that agriculture and primary are incredibly important
growth sector US. This government wants to double the sector
and having people who have their expertise and background and
coming through that through school is really important.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you have to understand that retraction was bigger than
the South African side. Step.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
One of the one of the challenges that you scover
when you work in this field is there can be
often a mismatch between the intention of the government and
intensions of a minister and how that's interpreted by officials
and not want to throw shade and officials, but there
can be a particular lens on things. And I guess
(14:41):
that's one of the really important roles of having elected
hims of Parliament who are able to feed, you know,
theaking scenes of their communities back in to to going
time to where these obviously makers often work and and
they often frankly don't I don't understand the regions. They don't.
They don't they haven't come from our regions on a
(15:01):
lot of cases, they don't spend time in the regions
and it's a different world, Like it really is a
different world. I mean, just the scale of my region
isn't conceivable to most people in Wellington. It's academically interesting,
but it's what it actually means. You know, you need
people who like myself for example, who can who can
(15:24):
push it forward, and it's great having someone in the
community as well to push it back on that when
when mistakes are amazing, like the official acknowledge that was
in this case a bill for.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
The biscuit tin. I love this biscuit tin. It's fascinating.
Whether it's an old tin, sample, a pack or what.
I don't know. You might be able to tell us
a bit more about this, but we talked about this
with Graham Butcher on the show yesterday, Joseph regarding the
ability to prohibit civil lawsuits against greenhouse gases and climate
change consequences.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, that's that's a really interesting one. So a chap
on ome of Michael Smith, who's sort of, I guess
previously most well known for cutting down one tree help,
but an activist. He's in the last few years focuses
attention on trying to create a new what's called a
tort or an action that can be taken in courts,
(16:16):
and basically there's three of them, but that's boiled down
to it is trying to make potentially in the bcause.
But he's focusing in the stage and organizations responsible for
their climate changing missions and the impact that has on
on what he would say, his land in the far North.
(16:36):
And so he focused on a number of organizations just
outset fon Terra, uh yeah, and in a number of
other major companies from the from the outset. But the
it's gone through sort of a number of different courts
at the Court of Appeal, the Court of Appeal of
judges said this is too complex, that involves complex international negotiations,
(16:59):
complex domestic policy considerations. It's not something for the courts
to deal with. Into the Supreme Court, and the Supreme
Court said, well, Harden hasn't explicitly ruled out this type
of new, you know, type of case because it hasn't
This hasn't existed before this type of court action, I said,
(17:19):
Parlon hasn't explicitly ruled it out, so therefore it can
go ahead. I am really concerned about that. Is this
hastentially massive implications for our economy, for businesses, for farmers,
for for everyone who you know, for people concerned about
the price of butter our, potentially some for the HEMP
(17:40):
pries that through the additional costs, and so I've put
a put drafted the bill and put it in the
biscuit done to rule out that that kind of law
or sorry, so that that type of action. So yep,
the Supreme Court, right parten has explicitly ruled it out.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I think we.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Should explicitly ruled out. So that's currently sitting the biscuits
and and we're waiting to see if that gets pulled out,
and I certainly hope it does.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Tell us about this biscuit is an old Is it
an old sample a box from the sixties or do
you renewit every year? After morning SMOKEO? What's a go on?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Years ago, someone went down to Briscoes or something like
that and I just bought bought the basket ten there's
quite a big tin, but literally as a tin, and
brought it back. So you know, there's there's one hundred
and something different MP's have got members bills and they
had a number that they assigned to each one and
(18:35):
they put they put you know, some as it counters
with the numbers on them in the biscuit tin. And
then they slept one one person who works at Parliament
on the staff. You know, they slipped different people each
time and they put their hand in blind after it's
been mixed around, and pull one out. And that's that's
the you know, that's that's that that that then goes
(18:56):
into Parliament and can potentially become more. There's something that's
quite unique new Yelling. I don't think from memory any
other partner has anything quite like it. But it gives
a chance for back benches to potentially, you know, put
in some some legal changes around different things. And it's
quite it's quite a cool mechanism. So I means not
only ministers can potentially make and correct law and his Zealand,
(19:19):
but back benches have an opportunity to do so as well.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So there's never actually been any biscuits in the biscuits
and I feel rapped.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Not to my knowledge, I can't rule it out completely,
but not to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Well, there's your home wreck for the next week. Now
the other thing as well, and piled it last night.
You're an urgency the third reading of the Forestry Conversion Bill.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's gone through YEP, passed last night with support from
all parties except for the Green Party into party money.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Look, I I.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
It was a nice sort of circle for me actually
because I helped shape this policy before the election when
I was the Forester spokesperson. And you know, I should
stress that the primary sector is incredibly important and that
includes agriculture and includes forestry. Be concerned here is that
(20:08):
carbon forestry is skewed the playing field and also potentially
as permanently used change because of the way the ETS
settings work and just the way that the pricing structure works.
So we put them put in place where we can't
national party campaign on a policy, and we were the
only one to do it this, mind you, The only
one is to campaign on a policy at the election
(20:30):
to put restrictions on carbon forestry. And as you know,
we won the election obviously, so we have a mandate.
We've worked with our other coalition partners and we've got
this through and in fact have got the support of
Labor last night to focus into or that press a bit,
you know, some decision around this piece of legislation. But
(20:51):
I was I was as just pure chance, I happened
to be in the whip chi last night, so I
managed to get the very last speech course the part
of the Maori went in the House, so I managed
to get the speech day or those would have had
the past one and I got to cast Wooden one
boats or nocial party to make this launches. It was
quite quite quite cool on my.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Manager forwards to finish ut with Joseph Mooney right tree,
right place. Always appreciate your time on the muster.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Good ante cheers, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Joseph Mooney, MP for Southland on the Muster. Katrina Thomas
from soeuth and Ural Support Trust joins us next in
the Beef and Lamb slot.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
The Muster Events Diary brought to you by Beef and
Lamb New Zealand Click Beef lambendz dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Katrina Thomas joins us on behalf of the South and
Rural Support Trust this afternoon and our Beef and Lamb segment.
Katrina good to check once again we cat join the CAFs.
How's everything been?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Oh, it's always a beautiful experience. Indeed, I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Think I've ever heard of calving is referred to in
those terms before, or lammis.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Oh look, I think you love number one calf and
you're excited and you get set up and then you remember,
oh yeah, okay, but you've got is it's hard work.
It is hard work mutually and physically. But you've also
got to remember these are your future seats.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So it's no happy epiphany or anything when you're come
out of the line like that.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Well yeah, you know sometimes you know, you have your
little moments.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So there's life in general though. Look Selfmeral Fortress. We've
talked to the team quite a bit over the last
twelve months and the branch on us events have been
going really well. Tepanui tomorrow they turn yes, yes it is.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
It is Teanu's turn tomorrow, so Friday, so they've been
rolling out events in the time. I've actually been rolling
out across the country. Actually, so Otago got the final
one at the Teppanoy Golf Club and they kick up
at eleven o'clock until one, so.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Look, just popping.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Just come as you are, grab the team and do that.
We finished hours. We've rolled out out over sort of
the end of August in September, and we had them
across the across the country or across Southland, really really
good turnout and sometimes it wasn't a huge turnout. But look,
it's not all about you know, quantity. You know, it's
(23:27):
about quality, taking time off, you know, wanting to come
and connect with farmers and chat about, you know, what's happening.
And as we were doing that, yes, we were getting
towards the end of end of carving, getting past that.
You know, over here be six or eight weeks of
AI and the cheap ones, you know, they were just starting.
But it was really good to talk to them and
(23:49):
to hear what they're doing because once again I was
talking to the neighbors and're like, oh, yeah, yeah, the
triplets are doing this. All the triplets are doing that.
Year we've got a few pets or the two dudes
of you know, whatever it has got. I used to
hate mothering out those two sort of other light brainless teenagers. Anyway,
but you're chatting with people of light minded people and
(24:12):
at the end of the day, if you just want
to come, have a copper, have some ki and just chats.
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You found farmers in the community in general happy to
come out to these events. Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
I think that there's a number of them. We know,
as soon as they see, you know, the material go
out that we're having these I think they put them
in their diaries. I also know we've got a lot
of people who had never come before, and I think
that's a big, big thank you to our ural professionals
who also sponsor us and help us with that, who
also pass it on. So they're telling their clients about
(24:49):
these events and to come along, and then they're also
getting told by mother cousins and their neighbors and everything
else as well. So it's good to see some newbies.
Great to see the oldies. And when I say oldies,
I don't mean is a mature in age, but those
who do come and I'm barely up up in Tianna. Pamu,
there are all your teams. Well we've never had that before,
(25:11):
So thank you Pamu for investing that time in your
and your team. And it's just great, great to see
to see people because they don't have to struggle by Themseunds,
the Royal Support Trust. We're there to encourage farmers to
talk to farmers.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
The whole team of Parmu. Turning out they would have
been one hundred and fifty jeepers, especially up in the basin.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Well yeah there was a barrier that was fair few
of them, but hey, look that's that's.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Great and the next thing absolutely yeah, good on you.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
And that's what we had out in Chiantas to do that.
So you're still for those who always to tag you've
got tapanui. Now, wasn't that some other news to share too?
Andy About the self and Royal Support Trust, we've had
a few changes in the in the operational side. So
we had Fiona Coma who've been around for quite some
time and who has now become a facilitator and I'll
(26:03):
explain what that is in a minute, but we've got
a new operation coordinator which is Emily Wolsey. Many will
know know her. Her and I and Rachel Nicholson and
Rachel Nicholson is our Wowness coordinator. All three of us
used to be with Dairy Women's Network, I think way
back prior to probably twenty fourteen twenty fifteen, so we're
back working together. So Emily has come on board as
(26:26):
the as the main coordinator operations for the seven Royal
Support Trust. Rachel Nicholson is the Awareness coordinator. So when
you call on that eight hundred number, you'll get one
of our facilitators or trustees. We'll get those details it
then goes to Rachel and she triages what she's going
to do with that case. So she's a very very
crucial cog in the whole bigger wheel. And then there's
(26:48):
Out for doing all all the calms and communication and
cheating to you and telling people about the Royal Support Trust.
But then we also have another layer outside the trustee,
who are the governance, we also have what are the facilitators,
and they're the people that Rachel work with who go
up the dry ways to see farmers, so people who
(27:09):
may have contacted us and want a visit, and we
generally do it with two people. So now the team
male and female out of the team and these are
the facilitators. So we've now got on the Southland Royal
Support Trust Facebook page you'll see we're calling for expressions
of interest. It's a voluntary role and the applications are
going to close on the first of October. But using
(27:30):
contact Emily the details on there to find out about
how you can get involved. So if you've ever thought
about giving back in that rural sector, and especially if
you've been involved, you know as a farmer or a grower,
because we want different ages and stages and abilities and things.
Please have a look at that advert and please put
your hand up if you want, but it is it
(27:51):
is voluntary, so that's what's happening. There never a dull
moment with the real Support Trust. But we are here
for people to call us if they need to and
of course it's on eight hundred seven eight seven two
five four. You can check us out on our website,
so just google that and also check out the South
and Royal Sport Trust Facebook page. We're here as a
(28:14):
conduit to help farmers keep moving forward. You don't have
to struggle by yourself, and.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's a big thing for farmers to realize. We see
it twelve months ago talking to the team and what
was going on, and very similar. If somebody needs a hand,
a problem shared is a problem halved, and it's a
saying I pretty much go by on a regular basis
because hey, you got to you got to talk about things,
right you do, and that's what.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
We work out ages ago. Farmers need to talk to farmers.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Oh they were terrible at it once upon a time.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Absolutely good because they got their own they've got their
own solutions.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
It's like, oh, yeah, I had that problem and this
is what I did, or if you know someone who
went through that and they have a chat to them.
So you've got your neighbors, you've got your cousins, you've
got everything else. You've also got all your raw professionals
around you as well. Also keep up the contact with
theme because you know they love to come and have
a cup of tea, some of them, some of them.
(29:11):
Keep up the content.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, wise words is alway, Katrina, always appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
All right, good talking, Andy, and let's hope we see
that the yellow thing out there very very shortly.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Katrina Thomas of a Southern rural support truss On behalf
of Thief and Lamb. Yeahs, stick to the muster. Before
the end of the yellur Our Residents sporting guru Nathan
Brynan joins us. Up next though, Lynn Berry start you
just start thistns behind. This is the muster. Lynn Berry
(29:52):
joins us once again. She's been over touring all the
stunts and recently returned from a couple of weeks in
the North Island.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, and it is good.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
It stopped raining up here.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
We've got a bit of snow on the top of
the dumpstons last night. But it's just a bit windy,
but the sunshining.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a light ground condition wise be pretty saturated, is it.
It's not too bad.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
We're actually a bit dry.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Good goodness.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Oh, it's quite surprised when I was walking around when
I got home yesterday and garden was pretty dry, and
I was talking to somebody else and they're saying they
hadn't had a lot of rain. So the rain we
got last night was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
We're talking about heifers today, checking heifers before mating. Of course,
carving is just about done for a lot of people
and all of a sudden mating comes around.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Yeah, it's really important to be making sure that your
young stocks are growing well. They're the future of your
hurt and they need to be looked after. So it's
really important. And I know everyone's been busy over carving,
but we're coming up. We're just about finished in a
lot of cases. We are looking at mating coming up,
(31:02):
so it's important to just pop out and have a
look at those heapers that are away grazing, making sure
that they're at the weights that you need, and also
catching up with the grazier to see what's going to
be happening over the spring and the mating time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, an interesting point you bring up there. Of course,
heaf is away on twelve months grazing. Having a relationship
with the graziers is the big thing, right.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Oh, it's really important because it's no good just sticking
them on the truck, sending them away and then getting
them back. Is in carf in the wintertime and they
walk off the truck and you go, oh, my goodness, greaters,
they are like skin and bone, or they're not to
the size or the condition or the weights that you
(31:52):
were expecting to be. So having really good grades in
contracts sees how so that everybody knows that you know,
when the animals come on farmers they come as when
cards that they are at a set weight, and then
have good weight targets for those animals as they progress
(32:16):
to in car hippers have written down who's responsible for
the animal health, like what the animal health program is
going to be. It may be that you send a
staff member up there when it's time to do some
drenching or whatever to give the grazier a hand, or
you're doing it yourself, or the grazier does it all
(32:38):
by themselves, So that needs to be set out in
a good contract. Also what the animal health pain is
going to be around perspective feeding levels. If you have
a weight gain contract or you have targets weight, what
those targets weights are, so that the expectation is written
(33:00):
in black and white and there can't be any arguing
about it. And also what's going to happen at making time,
So who's going to organize the balls, what type of
bulls if you have balls, helen they're going to be
in for if you're going to ai your heapers, and
the involvement of everybody around that and how that is
(33:23):
going to work as well. So a good contract is
really important with well set out expectations.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
That's the big thing about this having that contract, because
a handshake doesn't cut the mustard if it goes to
gag oh no.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
And in my time I've seen some contracts that's round
grazing that have well they're not even contracts, as you said,
they were a handshake that have turned to custard right
at the end and hepers have come home and they
have not met their weight gain targets. And then we
have the follow on is shoes with them carving light
(34:00):
condition and they're not cycling as soon as they should be,
so then they end up being late for the rest
of their lives. Because if they're late in that first
year getting in cast, then they'll be late for the
rest of their life. And it's a big loss in
production and genetics for your farm.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And you're reckon something else you want to touch on
at the moment. Don't be a grumpy bum.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Well, it's not. Everybody's going to be grumpy a little
bit at the moment because what we're near the end
of September through carving, so some people have started carving
in the middle of July and we've had haven't been
too bad as far as weather conditions go, but it's
long hours, it's a lot of work, and you traditionally
(34:46):
we've seen at this time in the year September October
stuff moving around because they've got to the end of
it or the pressures come off, and everybody's been tied
and grumpy, and it only takes one conversation or one
little thing to happen, or in some cases a number
and they throw their hands up in the air and
(35:09):
I'm not working here anymore, and I go find another
job somewhere else, and you've had those staff all through
carving and you've they've gained all that experience from working
with you over carving, and have them leave. It's actually
quite a big cost on a business to then find
(35:29):
replacements and then train them up for working on your
farm and how you manage your animals and feed and
the shed. So it's really important to sit down, have
it yack with your staff and see how they're getting
on now that the pressure. Maybe you've come off a
(35:50):
little bit, maybe getting a few more sleepings or an
extra half day off somewhere along the line, but you know,
making sure that everybody is happy as possibly can be
at this time of the year, and the good staff
are hard to come by, and good staff are really
important to make sure your business is picking over.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, good words, Lynn, especially regetting the fruit juice at
the end of the day as you call it, just
to decire for things. Always appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
He's all right, you have a good day, Lynn Berry.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
This is the muster before we finish up our residents
sporting Gury Nathan Burden, I think we need to talk
some rugby residents spoting gury Nathan Burden joins us once
again this afternoon on the Muster. Good afternoon, Nath. The
(36:46):
Stags redemption is needed and quickly. They're playing Wellington at
Potty Rower this weekend. That game on Sunday, Let's be honest,
that was a pathetic game of rugby from Southland. I'm sorry.
We've got to be we have to be up front
about that, right, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I think you know, even even co coach James Wilson
used the word embarrassing, and he's not wrong. It was.
It was a very tough watch, A tough watch at
the end of a tough wee king, wasn't it. After
the Warriors went down the the a B's losing by
called margin, and then the and then the Stags and
a game which which really should have been their opportunity
(37:24):
to get a foothold back into the season and make
some sort of a push towards a playoff spot just
absolutely tank. That didn't They against a counties team that
had that had everything against them. They had to. They
had to bust down from Christ Hurts for heaving sake
the day before the game. It only got it got
in at two o'clock in the morning, but gee, you
(37:45):
would have thought it was the other way around by
what we saw on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Hoskins too too. I watched the guy. He had a
really strong game. The abs don't want him, but counties
will keep him in that form before Southland? Where did
it go so wrong? Just nothing seemed to click on
that backclowing special cev Reese. You got an all black
on the wing, they never used them.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, I mean, you know, it sounds like there was
a game plan, but the players certainly weren't following it.
And then all the I guess, all the cards that
they had to play, particularly in terms of having some
some impact from Philaton Penny and Samessi Tupo Tailawa, you know,
two players have been key figures for the Stags this year,
(38:27):
and and coming off the bench that wasn't there, and
just the ability I mean, I mean, the game plan
had to be get the ball into savy Reese's hands.
And to be honest, the wee boy that brought the
ball out to start the game probably got more time
and position than did for the for the whole game.
So you know, obviously there was the wind they had
(38:49):
they had to win in the first half they made
They really made no they made no profit out of that.
Had they were facing a heavy deficit, it was probably
effectively over at halftime, really, wasn't it. He had back
into the wins. So if anything, I guess they just
need to scrub that entirely. They need to look back
at it at the likes of the White Caddo game,
that Bay a Plenty game obviously second half against Mona
(39:12):
or two. Look at the good stuff they were doing there.
It's a team that's capable. And you know, this is
a Wellington team that's been pretty up and down this year,
so they are probably takeable up in part roar. But
it would have to be the team the stout the
Southern team of a few weeks ago, not the Southern
team of last weekend.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
And they've got their all blacks back as well. Peter
Lachlan k Yeah, just to throw that into the equation, right.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Through all blacks, Kyle Preston, Reuben Love, You're coming back
into the equations. So that just seems to be a lot,
doesn't it. We seem to be the team that is
at the abs, through the through the rehead players.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Back up again.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
But yeah, as we said, I mean that was it
was a similar situation in a week game in Hamilton
a few weeks ago, which does feel a long time
ago now, but as we always say, a week is
a long time in sport, and as you mentioned before,
redemption is only eighty minutes away.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
For the Stags, the Black Ferns, who've got the semi
final against Canada at the Rugby World Cup.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Amy do to see gone, Yeah, you're just yeah, really
disappointing for Amy picking up that shoulder injury in the
in the first pool game and not being able to recover.
And you know, she's been such a force in domestic
rugby over the last couple of seasons, super rugby, opicky
level with Marta II, and then you know this was
(40:32):
probably this was her tournament, I guess to be able
to really bighlight her abilities at international level. But you
know that's I guess that sport. Injuries are just a
big part of it. We've still got a presence here
with Amy. We're all coming off the bench and what's
a what's a massive game against Canada. There's been some
big tussles between these two teams in recent years and
(40:55):
it's by no means a fade compley, even though we've
we've been able to avoid the likes of France and
England on the other side of the draw. So I
think after a game against Ireland, where against South Africa sorry,
where the Black Friends probably win as dominant as they
would have liked to have been, they'll want to put
a statement performance out there in this game, get the
(41:16):
win and then see who they are who they get
in in the final at Twickenham.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
This is a great story from mkiwe Lens, Judy Beamish
World champion three thousand meters steeple chase after falling in
the in the heats of such and getting stopped on
for goodness sake, and hamush Ka getting the Olympic World
Championship double going up two centimeters two meters thirty six
to win as well. This is really cool.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Yeah, hureage, isn't it. I mean a sport that probably
it doesn't necessarily get the headlines that probably deserves. You know,
it's a long way behind probably some of our major
sports in terms of grabbing those headlines. But jee, I
think the other day in New Zealand was like fourth
on the medal table at the World champs after those
gold meat which is which is just outstanding And and yeah,
(42:02):
you're right, I mean that that vision of Jordy Beamish
going down, copping some sprigs to the to the side
of the head, getting back up, managing to to to
qualify through to the final, I mean just the way
he won it, like to run down his opponent. Who
is the man when it comes to the to the
three k steeple chase. He's done everything in that sport
(42:24):
was just and he and Jordy just seems like, you know,
I don't know a lot about this guy. He just
seems like such a happy, go lucky sort of a character.
You know. It was fantastic and I just I guess
any chance will you see the New Zealand Black singlet
on a track? And obviously we you know, we can
hark back to an amazing sort of legacy, but a
(42:47):
lot of that was in sort of black and white footage,
so it's great to see. It's great to see that
happening again. And yeah, Hamish care he's got some sort
of a career slam now, doesn't he. In terms of
World Champ, Olympics, Common Off Games, Indoor World Champs, Diamond leagues.
He's done it all and yeah, and he just sort
(43:08):
of seems to keep going. And he's even sort of
talking about potentially breaking the world record, which I think
he's sort of ten centimeters shy at the moment. So
Keiw's flying high.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Key's up, flowing high, Nathan, always appreciate your time. Adler's
up for Saturday. We need it.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yeah, handle's up, mate, Let's go.

Susan suggested a cheap day. She came home with fish
and chips. Bob came home for secretary visiting Alice revive

Andy Muher. This has been the master. How can we cheers?
The Peterson DDIX says tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (44:03):
So hey, well all right, sir, he'll go there And
where did he go on?
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Again? For stock selling action this afternoon we get a
rundown from Andrew Martin out of PGG writes in regarding
the prices, they've been pretty good lately, Andrew, good afternoon,
How do we go today? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (44:20):
Look, Charlton was no exception to what's what's been happening,
probably at throughout so yards across the South Island, minimal
sized yardings. We did have a reasonable book of pens
on the prime lambs, I think one maybe two pens
tipping the three hundred dollar mark. But we'll just quickly
(44:42):
whistle through those prices. Best of the lambs here to
day to sixty through to the early three hundred mark,
second cups of lambs two twenty through to about two
hundred and fifty dollars, with the third cut of the
lambs one seventy being about the bottom edge up until
the early two hundreds. Handfully use there. Mutton mutton as
(45:04):
it did a Launville on Tuesday, took a bit of
a lift. The best of the mutton there was probably
one seventy through to about two hundred and ten. Second
cut of mutton one fifty three to one sixty five.
Third cuts of mutton at one twenty through to about
one forty five with the real light edge there around
the ninety to one hundred and ten dollar mark, there
(45:28):
was one pen of views and lambs and they're all counted.
They made one hundred and thirty dollars, all counted, And
just any of the listeners out there, if you do
have prime lambs, just maybe start thinking about capitalizing on
that good pricing and also be mindful of teeth teeth
popping through, so maybe look to look to be moving
(45:50):
their mind in the next in the next week. While
that about wraps us up from Charlton for today and

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
