I never cease to be amazed at the range of skills that you need just to operate your farm! Awesome!

Yeah you can also send your sheep to the Alliance they can handle mutton too. Buy yourself shares with the Alliance more stock you supply them more shares they give you. With having flat land as well sheep will get used to you when you are feeding out and shifting brakes every 2nd day. It is good to have cattle to when you have done the sheep side of things over the spring/ summer with selling the lambs and hoggots.

Running in gumboots, great training for the next Godzone

Our Autumn is generally better than our springs here.

Weird question but what happens to their cute suits when they go to the meat works? Do they get biffed or sold to leather workers? Do you profit from them if they are sold?

Everything gets used and its all built into the price we receive.

Nice video Alistair. Shame you couldn’t afford to keep the dry heifers but hey as you said “That’s Farming”. You seemed to be a bit flat mate so maybe a jog over a few hills or a spin on the mountain bike to get the energy levels up and the brain in the right space, Mate. Just keep on keeping on 👍

We have 625 ha so about 1540 acres

Your confidence, hard work and abilities with a lovely family are admired. NZ not the country I once knew and loved. The socialists and greens in their madness and stupidity taxing and legislating NZ farmers off the land! This is very sad.
