00:00Today went much better than expected. A lot of support from the east and other agents from
00:06Victoria and New South Wales. This is really positive considering how tough our season is.
00:12We haven't had any rain for a fair period of time and the stock have presented really well
00:18considering how tough the conditions are. So are these sheep where you would normally
00:23expect to see them? Yeah the top end of the sheep have kept them right up. They do tail off
00:28especially for some of the districts that have struggled the most. A lot of people lacking
00:33feed and struggling to to get through but yeah they've done a great job to present them how
00:38they have. The sale exceeded expectations definitely. You mentioned the season so what
00:43is it looking like around here? Yeah it's pretty tough going. The crops really need a drink. Yeah
00:49the feed we're really struggling. Blokes starting to feed again. Put hay and grain out and there's
00:55a fair bit of pressure on.
