Speaker 1 (00:15):
This is the master. You two are the artists that
sung there whistles out to you. I left to google
how old that song is. I'm thinking nineteen eighty seven.
Other likes which seems a scary long time ago. Warren
Ross Farms at Way Moomy. We catch up every couple
of weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Good afternoon while yeah after Andy and listeners.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
How's everything going up in Mighty why momo?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, not too bad, it's Leandy. So you know, we're
just crapping on on things and yeah, pretty much got
everything done we need to get done for Christmas, really, sir,
But I wouldn't say we're going to have a crazy
lead up for Christmas, but yeah, yeah, just in long
quite nicely.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How's the velvet in going?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, nows was still tripping away at that, and
we'll be tripping away that for a little while yet, sir,
still trying to killing a few so yeah, we just
won't be as much regress to do come next year,
so no, it would be Yeah, even that sort of
thing is going to make it a lot a lot
easier and quarter which is good.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yes, Well, how are you changing your dynamics there? What's
going on?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, we're actually got where we're out of the least block.
Turning heat is on the first of May, so we're
going to keep all the beef kews in beef kettle
and replace it well and replace the stags with themes in.
Of course, the beef cross is all pretty pretty very
strong at the moment. So yeah, that's what we're sort
of tagged in at the moment, sort of ditching the
(01:35):
bevering staggs and getting into the into the beast market
a bit more.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Was it a reflection of the velvet market a little
bit the bit of it and just going to be
everything really, to be honest, you just it's just a
mixture of yeah, the products almos supposed so everything else
side just taking along like you've got the grass growing.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yep, No, grass is cranks along all right with cutting
cutting baialads and and site one cutting soliers today and
we are planting my last peck of grass.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Everything's everything's all the egg work to be done, you
know now, Yeah, no, sort of really up to date
with anything. So probably about three or four pegs of
bailens l before Christmas is probably we'll putting it up.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Probably could you make quite a bit of bailers throughout
the season.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We have done in the past, but I think this
year we're going to try and not to make quite
as much. And we've got we do have a lot
more meals, a lot more meles on board, so you know,
hopefully we don't have to make as much.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, it's going to be a lot more, Alex. I
suppose when you get rid of the dear side of things.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well that's right here yet. So whether or missed or not,
I'm not sure, but I do believe we'll have still
have a few any hell, because we won't be able
to kill them. Are any elsa true? And I'm not
sure if there's not too sure if there's much of
a market for vestage at the moment, So the time
will tell.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, the cattle industry as well, certainly on a high
at the moment, as is the lamb and new sectors too,
So a lot of puzzles you can take away there.
You look at your synergy of the farm and you
just want to make things work, I suppose, so you
got to do these adjustments they occur.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well, I think that's what a lot of farmers look
at too, and everyone is different, but you know, you
just sort of a depth and change and put some
pieces and and sometimes it's not huge, huge numbers either way,
but it's just it is still worth looking around at
options to I heard someone tell when you stay there
and forced breading the risk around and diverse, diverse fies,
you know, and that's that's a great thing, you know,
(03:35):
And diversification this year for us, with the been low
has probably it's been a good thing.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, it's like back in the early two thousands when
dairy grazing of hef has made of may certainly became
a proposition for a lot of sheep and beef farmers.
And gradually over time as this option has become a
lot more viable for both parties and certainly has been
part of a lot of farming synergies. And you can
understand why absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So we've had a fairy good report over the years
with the graves we've had on board. So you know,
it's been has been a good sort of income over
the years.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So how would you rate the farming year on a whole.
I was talking to Matt McCrae earlier in the Yellow
and he said that he is pretty pretty content with
the way that she can be farming was looking at
the moment, So would you share those sentiments?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It probably would be far like the whole farming industry
is actually probably in a reasonally good place. The weather,
the valve was down, and the grain guys are struggling
a little bit, but I mean outside that the weather. Yeah,
there hasn't been all that bad for the whole year. Yes,
September was a bit average and nasty, but it actually
(04:40):
hasn't been all that bad. And and you look at
the groundwork when it did come right, we got on
the groundwork pretty pretty smartly, really, So in all, I
don't think there has been all that bad.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You're a fishing guru here on the mustard while you'll
be heading up to the lakes and now no doubt.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, no, let's see what we get away for a
decent thing and break and I think there's a quick
plane over the hill some stage in between. So yeah,
we don't have to be rushing home to do velvet well,
probably handful, but not as many as what we have
done in the past. We'll be, but we will be
coming back and forward. Stop still need moved and feed
and watered and was to carry on. So we'll be
(05:18):
coming and down a few bit between c and Corsa,
and it's the beauty of it. Ten of course, let's say,
see just so close.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Got one hundred and forty five clicks or an hour
and a half and you're there. It certainly makes a
lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So we can we get up at six o'clock in
the morning and scoot home and and two of us
and in Garth brother in law, and three of us,
and he moses lawns, and we got some animals, and yeah,
it's and then came. Sometimes we can bake up there
by by lunchtime, but after us now it's it is
quite close in the handy.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
So you can honestly say the gath doesn't take your
away maneuvers, and you're up nearby lunchtime every.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Day, not every day. Occasionally he leads me astray. But yeah, okay,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Believe that for a moment. Good on your gas. You
know you're listening more often than not. But oh no,
just in general, Oh, it's just been one of those
seasons really when we look forward.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, no, it's absolutely it is a silly season. Of course,
it has to be down by the twenty fifth but
you know it doesn't really have to be you know, well,
crops need to be in, but of course you're going
to come to grass. It doesn't really matter too much
this year.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Next year, then good on your wild We'll let you
carry on your mirry way. We've always appreciated you taking
the time out of your busy schedule to heavy yarm
of us on the mustard. So you enjoy the break,
go and catch some big fish and we'll do it
all again next year.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah. No, going to go on in the micause everybody
to have a safe and happy years.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Warren Ross a boy murmur so this song here with
