Esme, w- what are the key things that farmers should be bearing in mind when they're buying or selling stock?

Again, it comes back to what we s- what we were saying in the, in the previous episode of know your risks and know what you want to avoid.

And I think it, it sort of depends a little bit on how you're buying in, say whether you're buying privately or whether you're buying through market.

It doesn't mean you can't do the same thing, just ma- market just makes it a little bit more challenging.

I would say do your research.

One of the main ones, especially when it comes to cattle, that, uh, a lot of Southwest farmers are gonna want to be wondering about is TB.

It's re- it's really risky in the Southwest.

No names, please
