Speaker 1 (00:03):
This interview brought to you by Egress into South Branches
in Lawnville, Gore Cromwell, Milton and Ran fully dropped by
your local Egress into South Branch today.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Steve Henderson's base at Alorilla joins us this afternoon right
in the right in the middle of the calving. I
was going to say something else again, Steve.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
A good afterday, afternoon, Andy, I hate to hate to
think what you're going to say, but no, there's much
about carting.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Just over in sect that's going pretty swimmingly so far
out of Magion.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, yep, you haven't here. It's like life's been easy
just with around conditions and nothing's been a huge over Worklade,
but there's always happen with you. Probably a lot more yesterday.
We'll probably double with dunks than we were this time
last year. So yeah, there's always something you continued with.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So likes of staff wives and that they're all surviving
it pretty good so far.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, it's been bloody good actually, yeah, and I think
just hiven, I got conditions to go up not quite bad,
and things weren't like last year. People are pretty pretty
happy and we're getting finished, you know, for dropping afternoons
people can still get away and do what they don't
spend a bit of time at home and you can
get those childs done after milking with them. You don't
find time during the day. They So now it's been
(01:16):
almost been good and it's hurt. Number gets bigger, it does.
It should become a bit earlier with more consistency, and
booking times are a bit longer. So yeah, there's not
so much heavy and everywhere which you have at the
status spink drafting a lot of mobs here, only two
mobs on crop now and the rest of either in
sprints or clothrom So the mainor it's been for.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
This sounds like a correction to the way that's happening
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You're ready for it, yeah, I think so. Yep. We
you've little northerly here to day, so you got dust
on the road and you know, you look at the forecast.
I think we can take a favor of the round
here in like maybe an inch. You know, it wouldn't
go astray. We wouldn't mind that so too much. The
they're not through the roof. We had you know, some
cold or too much is late last week, so they're
(02:02):
sort of sitting there in the seven two and a
half but with no cross coming through with whether they
surprisingly might rise. Actually, so you we're going to be
burn on and we'll probably make the most of that
rain and as long as they might last year. But
you can dwell on that and say you can you
know what's going to have in October with no point
in doing next work what tomorrow or early next week?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And the reating you said an inch of ray wouldn't
go astray? Is it a case of being careful of
what you ask for, Steve, you reckon?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, Well I don't reckon it anyway. I didn't ask
for three months of around last spring and I got it.
So yeah, just ask for what you want and you get.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You don't TIChE You can anly work with what's ahead
of you, I suppose, hey, and racing too. Of the
open country in the way and the acquisition of Matera
Velly Milks, you're an open country supplier, what do you
make of it?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, I think it's just a technical move. By the end,
there was a plant sitting and gore that probably wasn't
operating the best it could, and yeah, that's what the
Chalie is doing. They make the most of it and
pour into it. So if it's going to make them money,
they will get it, and that's what they've done. So
it may open up a few more opportunities if they
just keep one plant running, maybe for winter supply or
(03:09):
do different things like that. But yeah, you know, in
a nut chow, I won't really affect us. As there's
been more people at the meetings.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's a very street acquisition, i'd say.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, I think so. I think so, you know, they
do their homework and there's who they are, and that's
where they've got so many singers and so many pies.
And you know, we're not shareholders but just suppliers. So
all in all, I think it'll probably make those materially
supplies may be a little bit more comfortable too, you know,
with the unknown that could have happened to that plant.
So yeah, I think that's the helping regions would have
(03:43):
been affical.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You're pretty much next door and open country down there.
Are you last on the pick up for your milk?
Because of that, you like the school bus.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Run, we're not. We sort of here, there and everywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So the filling guys, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Can get two three pickups it's night just to fill
up the teens on the way past. So wow, we
are in an open countries going on either got the
new grid going in into lap and country up to Canny.
That friendly ride. So that's been a bit of an
attraction for the last few months, putting poles in and
our slip lines in the helicopters yesterday pair and the
other running electric orders.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So how are you covers looking down there, because where
your positioned it can't get pretty wind sweet, No, no
issues with the wind.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
No, no, we haven't had anything like that to day.
But the old equinoxid will come shortly and yeah we're
doing with get a bit of salt spray and you
know the trees can run off every now I needing.
We just haven't had it. It's just been bloody. You know.
Two or three weeks have really settled leather, I'd say,
but yeah, coaster wise, no, we do cop it. But yeah,
(04:46):
this spring touch wood hasn't really been.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Because this time last year, what was it, around the
seventh of September or there or thereabouts, the Southern Scootered
Challenge took place. We weren't allowed to start in Bluff.
We had to go and number Cagle coincidentally stand by
for an announcement around that featuring the musterers from last year.
But yeah, just totally different season today and let you say,
you take every day as it comes, but certainly helps.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, it does. I remember that day vividly because I
knew you were doing that. I've still got a paddock
that I drive past, and we've got breakfeaence marks where
the calves were, and just the damage that those calves
done that day, that that those pastures haven't renovated and
we may just have to probably slip over. And that
was probably mirror image of what was happened on the
(05:31):
dry farm too, and probably a lot of diary farms
across half of at that point of view was pugging
his cows and the damage has happened to the store.
So I've think we're in a better situation now. You know,
the grass had had a pretty good ordum the route
to be back down, so we're in growth mode now.
But the store a fever of damaged where heavy rolling.
You know, a few pettics here and they're trying to
get them back into shape. But yeah, the still fever
(05:52):
of demoground from there not just that day, It was
that prolong period when you look.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
At last season and what went on, are you're pretty
pragmatic about it and just case of well every year
is different.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yes, yep, yep, and just quietly stoked that this year
it's different. Yeah. You look at the crop takes, beaus
are coming off those crop perks and it's not you know,
it's not pug so to speak. And treators have been
there a bit earlier, grasping the ground a bit earlier. Yeah,
going forward I think will be looking pretty good. But
you don't speak too soon. September can be in September.
(06:23):
Got bud takes cloud yesterday, so that's only two months are.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
The last year makes the difference. See, do you kind
of regret going away from grass wintering this season? Getting
those sweet crops and given the year that we've had,
no not at all.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's fitting the system really well. Otherwise we would have
been building valage, you know, fide in the market that
the bars will need to hear. So it certainly feeled
again and they could well be a bit of a
milk fever issue too. They haven't quite transitioned as good
as they should have because they're coming off Swedes and
going on to graft with you know, probably limited days
in their transition period, so we probably are nothing that year.
(06:57):
Year we might change it around and try and used
in July that heap the moong graph and bayleas from August,
so that transition period can be as long as a camby.
We're practically as long as the canby.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So what's the route you for this afternoon? Just groundhog day?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, well, we sort of making costumes at one o'clock
in the afternoon when everybody inspiration back from lunch. So yeah,
we milk costumes in that's all hands on Dick RMT
and making sure they're all good. Put the main herd
and of coast two we're onto the main herd and
that's everybody sleckings off and one goes and graduates and
Carson and the every boys tided up by four o'clock.
(07:33):
So here the AFP and it's really really nice. What
would you say, Yeah, they're just they're under a system
that works, and we're not going to change it because
your costumes in the afternoon a little bit odd butt,
The works were pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Good on you save all the base for the next
couple of weeks we'll catch up again. Steve Henderson family
and our u with his wife Tracy. Seven Scooter Challenge
