Speaker 1 (00:05):
All my days I've been searching Welcome back to the muster.
Remember texts Chapster five, double O nine to go into
the drawer to win a country celebration pack a couple
more prizes of this to give away. Lynn Berry joins
us this afternoon, Good afternoon, lone.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Good afternoon, And how we all don and South one today?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well we have blue sky and the location of where
you are trying to get you to stand still, so
you've got a signal. And when I don't hear you,
it is one of those video games Will used to play,
and all you can hear the birds chirping in the background,
and all of a sudden there's a noise every now
and then which is your voice. So hopefully we've got
a six secure connection this time.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, well it has to come all the way from
partisan north down to down to the little old door,
so you know, you know, might get the atmospheric interference.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Today we're talking about DNA genomic testing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, so its something I was having a conversation with
a person yesterday before we went to our quiz, and
of what you cheated him?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
By the way, no, we.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Would be answered that we have already tried to answer
that question and handed our sheeting before before I text
to see if you knew their answer.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, continue anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We were talking about just generally about what's happening here
in the manure too, and as far as like submission
rates go, and nationally, our submission rates are actually up
by two percent so far on last year, so usually
it's around about eighty one point three percent. But at
(01:45):
the moment there's probably been a lot of interventions being
done down south just because of you know, the weather
and and our stock and the condition that Darren some
of the other trends that they've noted she was talking
about that I've seen as it's been a huge increase
for the company she works for in Charley. So the
(02:08):
people are strategically using beef falls more and are using
the more well, I suppose you call them more economically
economical breed where you actually get a good calf that
you can then sell instead of it going out at
(02:28):
the gate. So you've got a good product that people
are wanting to buy and you give a funded to
return from them. So they actually sold out of your
beef pack charlet on it this year. And the thing
is that by using the Charrolet also as getting a
good calf for sale, you also make it easy to
(02:52):
identify that car. Sometimes when you have an angus over
a freezing cow, then across it can get a bit
dodgy to hepper calf, whether it's actually a beef calf
or it's a replacement. There's been a we swing back
to the kiwi freezing away from the bird. I've seen
(03:18):
freezings that aren't his economics. So what you're trying to
do when you are producing milk solaces progress the same
cage as the milk solids per season from your cow
as your weight, and that makes her really a really
efficient animal. So if you've got your good kiwied freezings
(03:41):
that are sitting around for fifty kg, then they are
a lot more efficient if they are doing the four
fifty cag's milk solows or more, which some people are
doing than a cow that fits kg.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Are you talking to me from the middle of a
garden somewhere I can here to he's going off in
the background. The ambience is great.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's great here. There's lots and lots of wild life
up here.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What's the season like out here? In the manna at two.
Is it holding up pretty good?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, I've been pretty good. There's that say they've been
looked up here as well. We've got the rain followed
me up in the weekend, so when I got down
to fielding on Saturday, it was it was weird as
a shag.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And but the's an interesting description.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
There's a lot of tacking around at the moment. So
in this a lot of contract about doing excuse me
contracting and getting getting tucker off. So I'm just looking
over the stop bank at one of the Derris arms.
That message here we've got people out looking at must
be doing plot startling or something. But they've got some
(04:52):
really good covers out there at the moment. And that
we were when we were talking about the six them
and last night she actually put some figures around it. Roughly,
so two, if you're using sex semen, it actually takes
two and a half two point one straws to get
one heifer calf, and that costs you roughly about one
(05:13):
hundred and fifty bucks. If you were just doing it conventionally,
then that that becomes two point five tom sorry, four
point five to four point eight straws before you get
a heifer because you know half of those calves will
be mailed and that costs you about one hundred and
thirty five dollars. So the difference between using conventional straws
(05:38):
and sex semen is approximately fifteen dollars. And for that
fifteen dollars, it might be might seem yeah, that's more
expensive in the big picture, but for that extra fifteen dollars,
you get to be able to cut that semen into
your best cows and know that you're going to get
(06:01):
a hit at the top, top quality heap of replacement
out of it. Whereas if you're using just normal femen,
you're probably putting it over eighty percent of your cows,
and some of those cows will be below the average
in your herds. But if you're using sex femen, then
you would put it over the best quality cows that
(06:23):
you've got.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Genetics is a fascinating subject when you think about it,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, yeah, it's amazing. And like nowadays you can DNA
test your animals and you can gene mark them as well,
so you can get increase the reliability percentage of your
stock by doing your DNA testing and your gene marking,
because they know where all the bits and pieces are
(06:50):
for production and infertility and all these other things that
they're looking at on the beams on the DNA of
your animals now, so you don't have to wait until
you've heard tested them and all that to get the results.
Know how good they are. You've got an estimate because
you've done the DNA testing and the.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
G mate interesting them. Will carry on with your nature,
walk there and always appreciate your time catching.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Next time you're catching nat.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Then Barry on a Wednesday afternoon, remembering text checks checks,
try chaps to five, double A nine the country celebration pack,
couple more to give away. Got to be in to win, right,
Thomas O'Brien now Garston corresponded, he's up next before we
wrap up for a Wednesday. To believe it
