That'll give MD a stiffy. I went to the sale yards there when we were doing some biosecurity planning for FMD and was blown away at how big the set-up was. Nothing like that round here
Yeah nah...lots of trucks means long wait times and cviu meal ticket. I'm actually going for drive in one again two days next week... Hope @Padox puts on some good weather for us this year.
Feilding is always super busy on a friday with stock trucks.
You get used to the smell on a friday.
Frost and snow is all ul get down here atm mdQuote:

I imagine if all the Manawatu and Rangitikei are as short of feed as Taranaki and Wanganui seem to be then de-stocking is the thing to try and do.
-8 here yesterday morning and snow on the lawn stillQuote:

I hear you guys over the hill have more feed than usual for this time of year. Just sold some R2 stock and got good coin for them, considering its the middle of winter:)
Fuckin funny place Fielding ( remembering to spell it correctly for a start hahahaha )
Has the main trunk rail line going straight through the guts, then add the sale yards basically there too & then include the Mansfield race track next door, so it's noisy n smelly & apparently full of crack heads, does also have a look out that while very steep they decided to put multiple shit arse plastic jutter bars on
But it's been awarded NZ's most "beautiful" town a dozen plus times, How good, free parking too faken winner winner
Wanganui's not to bad depending on how you’re farmed it in the past pretty usual to see farms green all the way to the boundary’s where it can be a desert over the fenceQuote:

Fortunately it was a good season for making supplements , but there sure isnt anywhere near as much grass as normal.
The funny thing is the competition wasn't actually open for any other town other than Feilding for years :DQuote:
