Speaker 1 (00:10):
Niger one head farms in South Otago between Balcluther and
Milton and joins us. This afternoon, Nige, good afternoon, blue
sky and abundance.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Afternoon, Andy.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
It is an absolute Bobby Dazzler.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
How good two days in a row. Who would have thought, yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
We'll take it, we'll take it.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So things are looking good on the ranch at the moment.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, no, we're looking really good.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Hit set. Yeah, just finished up drinking the first wrench
on mum or the lambs, yes, today, So it's good
and they're looking they're looking good. I weighed a few
handful heavyes to see how he had drench them, but
and the handful of them were north of twenty five.
So hopefully in another month's time.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We can we'll be able to.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah, get some heads off some of them at waning
And yeah, I reckon the lambs are looking really good,
considering I think they look you.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Know, I sort of felt they looked at everage on.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I fear people have said that looking at lambs, thinking
they're just a little bit slow due to the weather.
But it's surprising how they yield, especially off man.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, and you know, like hot days
like this, man, you know, lambs will grapp is a
bit of fresh green feed underneath them, you know. So yeah,
like weather like this is perfect lamb growing weather. I mean,
we need the grass to keep growing. We're sprayed about
nine hicctias out earlier in the week for young grass
to go in summer, last summer crop. And then you've
(01:38):
got another twenty hiccnes to blow out this afternoon, ready
for swedes and fodder beets. So you know, the grass
needs to keep going. We're taking a few bit of
the fear bit of the platform out.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So you're still a month away from waning more or less.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Uh yeah, Well, hopefully it will depend on the weather.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I suppose like, well we'll have freezer, us will go.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
That's we'll go that second week of December and we
usually get talked into buy our drafted, talking to sending
away skim draft in and then we'll know we might
win some before Christmas. If feeds a bit tight, ideally
would wait until the new year, keep.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
The lambs growing on their mothers.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
But we'll just see what the feed situation's like.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And they use there's a couple of mobs.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It must have got a bit tight and earlier on
they're a bit lighter, but most they're using really good knack.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So you know, if we can keep locks, they keep
feed underneath.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Them, then they should be able to keep bilking and
keep lambs growing right through year.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So your covers are looking okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we are.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well you must be all right because we had kettle
kettle out of their kettle rotations last week cruising around
in front of yous and lambs just taking tops out
of peddicks because it was getting away us.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So that's always a good sign that you.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Met all hell broke loose there for a bit and
feed took off, thank.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
God for But yeah, well, dear say it.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
We're probably just dry enough. Really, we could do it
that we ran. So we're growing grass and growing it fast.
But you know, typical farmer, we're not growing as fast
as we could be, but we're going good like It's
it's really hard to complain, you know, on days like this,
this tom of year.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, certainly makes a difference to the mood after a
few weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Back, right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you just just got
to get used to seeing trees line everywhere here, and
it's just part. It's just part of the landscape. But
we'll get on feeding some of them up at some stage.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And based on that Nightge have you talked about this
Jamie McKay earlier on in the week the Southern Storm
shouts happening at your place which is next Thursday from
three o'clock onwards and levels flat, so that's where you are.
So you are halfway between Milton and Balcluth. And now
the Emerson's Tiny pub is going to be there, the
Space spar is going to be intendants as well. The
Milton Lions are on the Barbie silverfa and farms have
(03:59):
got meet the milks and Lions got a van book
to give people a ride home, mind you, and the
milk and bell Clues and Lawrence area not quite coming
to Southland, but none of the let's get a carlo together.
A deed's bringing the coffee and ice cream carts and
near the mccoles. McKay's is in there as well. It's
Jamie has described as a bold hop oil and fused
New Zealand Pilsner brood with the taste of crystal lemons
(04:21):
and limes with a refreshing finish.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So it sounds a bit like a laggertop.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
It's just I haven't heard description yet.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I don't know it was that was, Well that will
go down?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, well, yeah, there'll be a few, there'll be a
few mckau's and struck. But don't don't fear the spakes
bars coming to So there'll be plenty of gold middlewhile
and summ.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Up there as well for everybody.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So it should be good afternoon, you know, I say
with Jamie Lockett, there was my idea, Jamie just ring
and looking for a farm to host it, and yeah,
you don't you don't say no to this sort of opportunity.
So yeah, and all of a sudden, words starting to
get out and a few sponsors turn up and sort of.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Made a call. Who is that lady locally here?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He's got a coffee cart, So thanks to Anne's In
for sponsoring that. So you know, if you're if you're
not keen on a bed and coming to have a
coffee and ice cream, and we have plenty of non
alcoholic refreshments too, and some good.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Tucker and yeah, some some yarns and.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Hopefully it's a beautiful day like this and we can
stand around in the sun and forget about the fact
that we're falling out on the farm for a few hours.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
How often can you say though you've got two portable
pubs in your backyard.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well giver and hint hints the fact that when Jamie
asked me, I was years So yeah, I can't see
much work getting done in middle in the next week.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
But that's all good.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
It's gonna be a good afternname.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Like hopefully, hopefully we a few people can can find
some time to park the tractors up for a day
and we'll half a day and come come out and
have a beer.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, I don't think we need any more reason to
do that nights after what we've head over the past month.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like you say, a good opportunity.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Everything's provided, just turn up if you're not keen on
a beer, coffee cats. There a bit of ice cream,
a bit of meat on the barbie as well, So
it's all provided.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's the best part that'll be good.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I think the only thing I got Portloo's order.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
We've got everything ordered.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I think the only thing we haven't tracked down yet,
but I've got a couple of ideas as a big
bluetooth speaker so you can have some tunes in the background.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, actually, Jamie McKay has got a massive bluetooth speaker
that he bought, but I don't think he knew how
to work it, so we might have a bit of
an ische the You might have to track on him
down yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh well, if he brings it down, I'm sure I
can get it going. So yeah, like that's a minor detail,
to be fair, exactly. Yeah, I'm just sitting in the
yard about to heat the head out of the yard
and the tractor in most and bailage which there has
been ready to mow for a wee bit now, so
it'll be good to get it.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
On the ground.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
And then, like I say, I've got some pats of
spurry out for beaten swedes and kale. And then the
next job after that is they have a tidy up
around the yard, get rid of all the old scrap
medal and all the crack that's lying around, and tidy
the place up look respectable.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So it's almost like you're having one of those orders,
but you're doing it for a good reason, right Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, Well I've got one of those orders coming up
to there. You go about a week before Christmas of
all times.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But I haven't.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I'm ninety nine percent of the idea with my ordered stuff.
I just need to do a few we detail things.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But yeah, this is I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It depends on who you listen to, whether it's a
hundred or or three or four hundred people coming next week.
I've better get the place tidied up and make a
good impressure.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Nh Yeah, the more the myriad nights.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Hey, we'll let you carry on, looking forward to catching
out next week, and thanks for putting your hand up
much appreciated, and enjoy the over.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No no worries, And yeah, I hope everyone's getting on
or right out there, and you're looking forward to sending
good crowd turn up next week, so fill some mutes up,
get on up here and make sure it's a sober
driver and we'll have a good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Nigel want hit us south of Tigo. There's no real
name for this at the moment, the Southern storms shout.
I suggested the shitty spring shout, but don't think that's
going to get much traction up the HQ there. So nonetheless,
like Nigel said, next Thursday, November November the twenty seventh,
from three pm.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
At Levels Flat.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're going to be talking about this over the next
week anyway.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
