Great video Alastair 👌

Good you've got all the NAIT tags on video, amazing the number of times they get "lost" between farm and works.

The paddock ex beet will go in to oats and Italian as a catch crop in the spring. We will have some hats for sale, just getting some ducks in a row.

are you happy with the wool sheep still? With the very very low wool prices and the cost to get the wool off their backs are you looking at crossing your ewes with a Kartartin or Dorper or a Kartartin x Dorper - Dorper is called the "Angus" of the sheep world as the lambs are little but grow fast so around 36 kgs at 3-4 months and the Kartartin are more parasite resistant - this cross the ewes are fertile for 12 months of the year so you can choose your lambing season - keep the daughters (they will have wool) and put them to another Kartartin x Dorper ram and you get a F1B so hair sheep from their lambs - 19 Dorper breeders in the South Island

Interesting comment. At the moment we are not ready to give up on wool, I still have hope it will come back with the trend to a more natural way of living with less synthetics.

@@kiwifarmernz China and America have to play nice for that to come back unless New Zealand farmers and the NZ Wool Board or Wool NZ start to do something more proactive with the wool - maybe we need to restart the manufacturing side of the wool industry again in NZ and sell it to the world ourselves not rely on China to make the products - or look at India, Vietnam etc - maybe the world has allowed China to manufacture to much and manufacturing needs to be spread it out some more internationally - we put all our eggs in one basket with China and it has come back to bit us

@@kiwifarmernz I think we as New Zealander need to come up with some idea''s the EV rebate only worked because they had a product to use - the Govt is not innovative - Do an international competition of some description to get ideas together to go forward - the other international wool producers will be watching they have the same problem but no innovation coming forward from them either and low/medium grade wool rots in paddocks around the world as it is not worth freighting to the Wood Boards - uncleaned raw wool only has a 2 year life and the wool starts to go off I believe - use vlogers like Sandy Brock - she makes products with her own wool and sells it on her website or Cami from the Sheep Game - sheep farmer and shearer

Do you know yet how much the carbon tax is going to cost you? asking for a friend. Get ready for some cold weather by the look of it.

At the cost of 11 cents per kg of Methane it will cost us $2945. that is not including the cost of CO2 or Nitrous oxide. That is also not including any sequestration that we can achieve. Still a lot to be figured out. Yep its gona get cold, hopefully no snow for us tho.
