And how does it work? What do people who are interested get to do?

Well, look, it's been going for quite some time, so I think people probably have been here before would know, but just all on property, field days on property, so that works well.

There will be a map of the field day group going in the paper this week, so in the stock and land this week.

So if people get a hold of that, they'll be able to travel around and find all the studs there.

And how would you characterise most of the stud sheep?

Well, these stud sheep are all, like, they vary from super fine through to fine medium.

So, there's, yeah...

There'll be rams for all commercial producers to have a look at.

so what will this do how will this impact the rest of the season

uh look it'll put um certainly put a lot of yield on crops on cereal crops and canola um it'll stretch out our pastures we had a pretty good pasture operation here with sheep and um it'll certainly stretch our pastures out and then keep those clovers and grasses growing pretty long into the season.

We've got a bit of barley grass starting to run up in the last few weeks of that warmer weather before the rain, so generally we've got a lot of grass here, so it's going to push the season out pretty long.

We mustn't forget, though, we did have a few frosts or a couple of frosty mornings on through around that 22nd, 23rd of September, down to sort of minus 3.6 and then minus 2 on the 23rd, I think it was, so...

Damage from them, probably not quite quantified yet, but certainly some damage on some early crops and early canola crops and probably some early barley crops, I'd say, but haven't sort of been quantified yet.

Looking at the forecast, what do you really need over the coming weeks?

Look, I mean, this weather's now just overcast and it's still very mild.

It's been a very mild year anyway, but the growth's really good.
