00:00Top price between the new client and one of my very oldest in Tasman Farms, that was lot number
00:07five for four thousand. Very balanced figures. Beautiful wool on him, longer in the staple than
00:12normal. Yeah, he was an ideal sheep. He's going to boy at brook. Another highlight was the number
00:17of people that came and supported the sale. They haven't had a chance of earning any income for
00:2318 months, maybe even longer some of them, and they're investing in the future. So
00:29invariably they would have gone to the bank manager to get clearance to do it, a lot of them.
00:33It's been very hard and hopefully we're on the way back out of it now. Yeah,
00:38and tell me a bit about the Duny. What makes them such a good dual purpose?
00:43Oh, they've been designed for over 100 years now, I'd say. 70% meat, 30% wool. In other words,
00:52no, they're not going to cut as much as a traditional merino.
00:56They're able to produce and survive a lot easier than a heavily skinned animal.
