1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: The Cristi show is bank the long weekend of the

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: It was in front of me just before thirteenth to

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: the fifteenth of November.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: There it is.

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: We've really stepped it up, and not this year though

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: it is now the New Zealand Royal Amp Show.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: They caught up with chair of the Boards.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty well known around these parts too, Sir David

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Carter to ask what does that mean?

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: What is this royal decree?

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: The Royal means we work closely with the Royal Agricultural Society.

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: We've got to now proven to them that we're capable

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: of running a very professional show after the history of

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: the last couple of years when it was almost canceled.

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: It will also mean we get increased our entries and

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: interest from livestock leaders and of course on the trade site.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: So we're heading for our big successful show in November.

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Does it mean that King Charles is going to pay

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: us a visit?

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: No, at this stage he's not planning to come that

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: I know of.

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: So you mentioned there's we've been a turbulence the past

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: couple of years with through all that, I.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: Think we are. I think we are. We've got everybody

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: working together We're back on a financial and strong foothold.

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: That was the essential part. They were trading marginally for

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: a long period of time, unsure of the financial viability.

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: We've managed to turn that around. We've got a profitable

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: show last year. Although slightly reduced, we're certainly running a good,

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: strong budget that willing to indicate a strong show that's

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: coming year.

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: What are you looking forward to from the show?

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: No, I just think it's a chance for farmers to

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: get off the farm, come and catch up socially with

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: their friends, many of them only see each other once

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: a year at the Kennoby Amp show. But I also

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: get a great thrill out of seeing the urban people

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: coming into the show, being able to go to the

39
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: farmyard with the kids, etc. And see how New Zealand

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: really functioned from an agricultural point of view.

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever shown at the show, sir David, you

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: ever entered to me?

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: Yes?

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: We did, Yes, we did. We were pretty involved a

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: long time ago before I went into politics. With the

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: new cattle breeds that came into New Zealand. We then

47
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: became cyminal cattle breeders. So for many years we traveled

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: around shows that our local one was always Canterbury am P,

49
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: so we'd show cattle, and I can say from an

50
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: experienced cattle person, it's hard work getting your animals to

51
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: the show.

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: What sort of process is that.

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: Well, you've got to select the animals which you think

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: are the best you've got, and then you've got to

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 3: prepare those animals, get them looking as good as possible,

56
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: get them to the show. You've got to teach them

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: to lead, You've got to teach them to eat only

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: hard feed, et cetera. It's a lot of work and

59
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: I take my head off to all the people involved

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: in shame pedigree animals. It's not easy, but you do

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: it out of a dedication and a passion.

62
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: I've got the scene from Babe in my head, you know, teaching,

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: teaching these animals how you want them to perform.

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I don't know where what get impressents into

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: your head, but you do accept a big responsibility that

66
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: you're leading a five eight hundred kilogram ball around the

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: show in the grand parade. Exactly right. So it's hard work,

68
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: but people who do it a competent and they've got

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: their animals well under control.

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: What's your favorite show day snack? Sue David.

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: I love a hot dog, Yeah you do. You've got

00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: to have a hot dog.

73

Speaker 2: Cove some mother sauce. Do you want your hot dog

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: with that sauce?

75
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: You didn't going to just make sure it doesn't go

76
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: all down your front?

77
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: No, no, there's no way of preventing that you end
