00:00It was all okay. I think it's certainly cheaper than what's been trending across
00:04what we've been getting used to throughout the spring. Having said that, the season's
00:07sort of really folded up and a lot of farmers have put up the white flag and dumping a few cattle.
00:11There's a few feeder cattle. A lot of the cattle were in between weights, so they're sort of
00:14320 to 400 kilos. I don't know. Yeah, it did look a bit cheaper. $3.20 and $30 and $40 for the blacks
00:22and under that for the coloured cattle, yeah. Buying support still South Gippsland?
00:28Yeah, less significant. I think Central Gippsland is going on a few. I think everyone's just doing
00:33enough to get through, but no volume commission buyers here. Just the usual,
00:38so we're probably keeping it right. And seasonal conditions in East Gippsland,
00:42what are they like at the moment? Oh, it could do with the rain. Look,
00:44we haven't had probably significant rain for the past eight weeks. It was really good then,
00:48but it's really folded up now. Yeah, it'd be nice to get a drink of rain and move on.
