I just love you Jasper. So keen and loveable. Interesting seeing a scanner not sitting in the dark, must been a good clear screen. Good luck boys, with the 29.

Our local Butcher in Ngatea does super good packing too. Makes a massive difference to how easy freezer is to stack and how it is to find exactly what you are after.

Looking good l. Having your own beef is really nice to have your freezer full of meat. Do you do lambs as well to put into your freezer.

Ewes look well,the heifer weighed really well. Do you think the free trade deal with the UK will help your prices or will it all get lost in admin costs. Really dry in Uk. No sign of rain for weeks 🙃

Im not holding out any hope on the free trade deal. Hope you get some rain to keep things ticking over.

I was talking last night to a mate in forestry, man they are doing it tough. Cost are $107 to $117 a tonne and export price is $87. The industry is limping along, Kaiangaroa forest on a three day week but soon it will come to an abrupt stop. Reason China is not buying. We could have issues with Beef and lamb into China and odd things in the States with Brazil hitting it's import beef quota in third month of the year. They think a lot of Brazilian beef is in storage. Dairy farmers up here have pulled back on winter grazing which is putting stress on store markets, prices are crazy high. Much of East coast still needs fencing but it's too wet and farmers still waiting for insurance and grants to afford it. Mate with 2.3 mill in debt has gone from $8700 a month in interest to nearly 20k a month. We may end up in interesting times.

No issues with feet here, I'm very undecided on shedding sheep, I suppose I still have some hope for the wool industry.

@@gennabird107 I dropped stocking rate a little and fed all my sheep better. I started farming when interest rates were %18-22. Profit is always the gap between expenses and income. Better sheep bigger lambs earlier drafts less risk etc was the way I went. Less costs = more time with family actually led to profitable business. Those big singles were my most valuable lambs
