1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: He's got a Jamie mckaie hosted the Country Jamie Good Evening.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Good Ryan, are you turn?

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: This is good news a U turn from Cayenger Order

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: on the question of wool carpets and state houses.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they previously didn't give the wall carpet a chance

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: when it came to the tenders, but a bit of pressure,

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: of a bit of political pressure from a number of

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: groups Federated Farmers, Campaign for Wall etc. Has made them

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: reconsider their tender process and they're going to let wall

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: carpets enter the tender process. And Toby Williams, who's the

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: meeting WAOL chair for Federated Farmers, said great news. And

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: it's up to the wall carpet providers to make sure

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: their proposals are competitive. He just highlighted some of the

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: reasons why wolve's better than synthetics, insulation and warmth. It's

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: moisture working, it's a natural fire retardant, it's hyper allergenic

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: and better for those with asthma. And this is a

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: considerable tender process. I guess is looking at supplying full

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: floor coverings for twenty six hundred and fifty new homes

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: in three thousand renovations, so good news there Wall gets

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: to go and Walls on a bit of a move

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: at the moment.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Ryan, Yes, the price for strong wool is up again,

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: on the up again.

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah it is, although one of the I think the

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 2: North Island sale might have dipped a wi bit today.

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: But basically crossbread fleece prices are at an eight year

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: high that you need to put this into perspective. Like

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: in the nineteen eighties, Wall was getting five bucks a kilo.

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: These days it might be three or four bucks a kilo.

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: I think Walls of New Zealand actually came out with

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: the contract for growers at five which is pretty competitive.

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: But it's not enough Ryan to stop a lot of

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: farmers getting into these new breeds of sheep, either the

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: self shedding sheep ie they just shared their own wall

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: you don't have to share them, or ones sheep that

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: don't have any wool at all. In fact, they've got

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: fine hair like a goat. And it's interesting that some

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: of the country's leading sheep breeders and I'll throw one

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: at you now, Derek Daniel, who's I guess got one

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: of the biggest sheep breeding operations in New Zealand based

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: out of the wire wrapper he's been selling his sheep.

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: He calls them nodies and as they said, they grow

43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: here like a deer or a horse rather than a sheep.

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: And he quite rightly says that yes, the price of

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: strong wool is going up, but effectively it needs to

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: be at about ten dollars per kilogram so that farmers

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: can make reasonable money out of it, because until recently

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: Ryan farmers the cost of sharing outweighed what they got

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: for their fleece. He's an example of how much enthusiasm

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: there is for the self shedding or sheep with no

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: wool at all. Recent sale in Southland, twenty four and

52
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: a half grand was paid for an ex Lana Wiltshire

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: cross ram. Second highest price was seven and a half

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. And here's the kicker. It was paid for

55
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: by an old mate of miner, used to be a

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: gun sharer. Sure his way shared his way into a farm.

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: He says he's too old to share his own sheep now,

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: and his daughter, who's the world record holder, Megan White

59
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: ed he said she's too busy sharing other people's sheep

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: to share his, so that's why he's going into them.

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's becoming a newdist when it comes to sheep. Thank you,

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000
