[@DonaldFraser-c9v]

As a new subscriber, I found this a very interesting and informative video. I used to produce store cattle to sell on to the finishing market. I've been out of farming for a few years now, but I still remember the old cheque book style passports with the pages for stickers when doing movements on farm and to tear out and send off to the BCMS when selling stock. The large new passports reminded me of the passports that were issued to older stock when they introduced cheque book style passports for newborn calves back many years ago now.

[@stevewareing8525]

Very informative video Tom. Don't worry about the quality because face it when is farming anything else than chaotic? Even after editing we are getting a view of farming in near "Realtime" Warts and all , you just keep on showing us how it is because that's what we like. Especially when the prices go in your favour as it proves you are still going in the right direction. 👌👍. PS: I'd love to know what Joe Seels said about your beef?

[@jamesb5688]

My local butcher said the reason the lamb price is so high is because the Chinese demand has massively increased in recent years and they're buying up a lot of the New Zealand lamb that we would usually buy, thus pushing up the prices.

[@colddiesel]

Not just China but folk in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia whilst not wealthy have a bit more income these days. Those three countries are almost 435 million customers. The EU market is un-important to NZ and Oz these days. Both Oz and NZ have a positive Trade Balance with China.

I'm an addict for details and numbers - and boning! So keep 'em coming. The science of modern farming and the resultant analyses fascinates me. I remember my uncle was delighted when he got 70 guineas (gross) for a culled 17 year old Shorthorn X Freisian but that was back in 1958/59. Really interesting video today, what was missing in polish was more than made up for with the reality. I hope Jo, Harvey, Luke, Andrew et al are soon better. And does it ever stop raining there?

[@RobertRobDodds]

For the farm shop, have you thought of in store pickup? This is where people order online from a website then, when the order is ready they get a text and/or email telling them so the can go to the shop and pick it up. That way there is less pressure on the staff as you set the time parameter and no shipping.

Tom as an Ex beef farmer I can see that since you added the barley your beef cattle look so much better but just watch about taking them much bigger because going from fat class 4L to 4H can be quite quick.

How would you slow the fat growth and make them out it on muscle?

Tom I'm a bit rusty on my farming knowledge being out 20 years now but diet is the main thing I would ask your feed man, though you may not get them much bigger as 300kg deadweight is a fair size with an Angus bull on your smaller cows. My Dad would've loved your Red cows they were his favourite.

To be honest Tom I followed the video perfectly, I think it worked very well. So don't worry about it. Just a question regarding the 2 young culled cows, especially the Aberdeen Angus, would it have been any better money wise if you were to sell them to perhaps a beef farmer for breed new stock? She in particular would have been an ideal mix for breeding and rearing calves. It's just a thought, I appreciate it was easier to send them all off at once.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Maybe but it would be a risk for us depending on price we would get. I guess they would have been two great suckler cows

[@JDseller1]

I just sold 8 beef heifers. They averaged 1408 lbs. each and sold for $1.94 live weight. So they grossed $2731.52 USD each. The sales fee was $17 and the beef check off was $2. So they brought $21700.16 USD. That is the highest I have ever sold beef heifers for. The issue is feeder cattle price is sky high now. I just bought some beef steers weighing 845 lbs. average, the cost was $2.55/lbs. or $2180.25 each. Sure hope the market stays up long enough to sell thee higher feeder cattle at finish.
