Speaker 1 (00:02):
The Musters on the Farm brought to you by Southland
District Council working together for a better Southland.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The song is called September by Earth, wind and Fire,
kind of ironic for the season we're experiencing down here
in the south. This is the muster with Andy Mueller.
We're right away, Moomy next to catch up with Warren
Ross our way. Moo Moo corresponded, he's a deer farmer
and as well as our fishing guru and one of
our rallying experts here on the muster.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Good afternoon, while yeah, the endlessness.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
How's everything going up there? Not getting blown off the
face of the earth or anything silly?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, it's getting close to blogging blown away here. There's
been a fever of wind in the last probably two
or three weeks. Should that really normally get these strong
ones until till Ontober? Who I suppose we are October
this week, this coming week? But yeah, no, it's definitely
we would earlier.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, we get into October tomorrow, which a lot of
people will be looking forward to. They just want to
say goodbye to September. How have you feed up there?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Though?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Likes of it's been west around the province hearing some
ridiculous rainfall for September.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yet again, how have you fed? Would you say?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, probably we're probably feed probably okay to most people
around us Riverton Way, mos bron Way, probably even what
Cake Tepinoy Way. Uh Like last Thursday Friday was just
dark airs, black hairs up towards what Ca Caut that
way and they got a lot of heavy rain, I
would have thought, whereas the sun was out here at
(01:36):
the farm all day.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So what have you been up too lately?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You don't have to do a laming beat, or if
you did, it was over and done with about six
months ago. By the sounds of it, your lands are
just about ready for the works, I'd say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, we've got leving beat. What happened back in June
or maybe July so it was, and there's fourteen lambs
out of them, so yeah, they're probably be ready to
be tailed, probably too big to be said that they're
going good now that's the extent of a lemming. But
we do do a calving beef calving trick along all right.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
How many beefees have you got the cave?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We've got seventy odd beef cows and about ninety odd
two heaps wall carvings. He's probably run one hundred and
fifty odd bug gies. What break do you run a
mixture of Hereford straight here Ford and or straight angus?
And yeah, we've got to put a black ball across
them all this year, so we get a mixture of
(02:33):
get the odd read one most more black whiteface things.
So ye know they're good, good animals.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I dare say they'll be looking not too badly or
things considered heading into spring proper.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, So yeah that all the heathers master
heapers be killed and in February March once we win
them and they still go through is his heatherers on
killing seats. So we paid pretty good money for them.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's really good money for Kettle at the moment. It's
almost the best that's ever been did.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I oh absolutely, you know, I think the last lot
of animals we killed were eight dollars fifty, but I
think it's gone up since then as well, So I
know it's the beef and lamb are actually tricking along pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Good as far as the venison schedule. Because you're a
deer farmer out there as well. I remember David Stevens
a few months back saying ten dollars was the price
you were aiming for being a Venison farmer, But lately
you're saying it's gone above that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah. No, absolutely, so we signed contracts back in May
or do not think it was, And that's for like
a teen dollars thirty or forty minimum payout contract pay
Now it's up to eleven twenty I think is what
we've got for the last seat last week. So no,
it's anytime. This is probably where it needs to be,
to be honest, So now it's trick along. We're right.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What would your break even point be with deer?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Probably probably the venice and it would have to be
done I'd say, probably knowing eighteen dollars or something. I
guess just what all the cossack better incurred these days,
of course, so i'd say to be known a teen dollars,
I would have thought.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Now, of course, if you're a deer farmer, this is
almost like your quiet time of year.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Absolutely, yep, No, this is definitely September and October are
a quiet as time, or we're still feding, bailing, still feeding.
Probably that was a bailety other day to hans that
are on crop and a few pief kettle. All the
stags and whiners are on grass. The stags obviously grow
velvet now and we're we're actually trying to separate get
(04:25):
the winners into the sheet, to separate stag forwards hind forms,
but in the wind. Yeah, bit of a challenge, so
we haven't been doing that lately.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
How many animals would you have on that schedule for
the deer if you've got a lockdown a contract, when
the contract.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Goes right through to Christmas time, I mean as soon
as we get to October. End of October, the price
starts dropping a wee bit, but as good. I think
it's still ten dollars sixty or eighty right through to
Crystmas time anyhow, which would be good.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
There's still pretty good, pretty damn good coin for Venus
and compared to where it's been.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Though, absolutely a as we've had some we have had
some very tough years over over the last few years.
But yeah, well probably the last teen fifteen years have
been some really hard years. But so I know we're
we're sort of tracking on the right.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So you're feeding a little bit of Baylor's out is
that just on the remnants of the crop.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Ah, yep, correct, absolutely so the crop has pretty much
done anyhow. However, we were a grub prepeller this day
and installed the old bit of beat coming up, so
the old deer hold he install. You get a little
little month today today anyhow.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So yeah, well it's like a big wooly beard. You
get a second feed a sup.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well that's right, you know, but to come off sort
of towards and then another week will come off and
put a little bit of grass. I'm just happy to
get all your boosts before Chip's talking into the end
of the month at the end of October.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, we know you're a big fan of motorsport.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Roger Lead was on the Muster last Thursday to give
a bit of a run down or suppose of what
the East and South and rallying scene was like. And
it was really interesting yarn as well, because it's a
sport you know, exists without knowing a whole lot about it,
you know, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I sort of haven't really known too much about it all,
to be honest, but it's it's just been this last
well the last six or eight months really that I've
really started to get into. I guess it's it's it's
interesting to know and I need to learn more about
it in the way of all the different classes and
WANs to carry on?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Are you keen to be your driver?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, I haven't had an opportunity to sit beside the
CADI a month ago, I say, but I chose not
to because I thought I'm what yet hooked on? Stay
even stay out of the passage of seat.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
For well, you didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
If you don't find out what's the old sale, you
can't saying you can't be given out if you don't appeal.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, that is true. That is great days. I wonder
one day I'll get up side them and see how
it goes.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
As far as as far as the fishing side of
things be pretty limited lately.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Although you had to go white baiting. Were they running?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
We had a go white banden on Sunday, but I
think it was got born than it. No that it
wasn't so good. You got four four there's not enough
make a petty, So we threw them back. So dead
when dead was down there on Thursday for the first time,
and they got about two hundred and twenty old grams
or something. So it's just a we feed, but the
(07:13):
first time out doing it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So yeah, you're very much hearing mixed Telly's about what's
happening at the b made. The water has been pretty
high too by all accounts.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, it's been pretty high, but apparently it's still run
with ministering water. So from what I can get that,
there's been a few stands down on my tear, they've
been going all right. So yeah, as I say, you're
just going to be abat to doing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It, absolutely you do. Well, Hey, we'll leave it. They
always appreciate your time. You stay warming that wind this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yet no goods gold andy gratu late it.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Do you remember laugh out loud with ag proud because
life on the land can be a laughing matter. Brought
to us by sheer well data working to help the
livestock farmer.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
What's worse than a box full of snakes? A box
that was supposed to be full of snakes. That's the
rather key, we joked though, remembering the Shaky Isles snake
free and proud of it, although the arguing is they
might go not too badly around hay sheds and the likes.
But that's the subject. We don't need to worry about right.
(08:15):
