   The Chinese are getting a lot of red meat out of Australia, it's great for the Aussie farmers needing to destock due to catastrophic drought. My wifes grandfather lost his farm in 1974 due to...

   Deer numbers are up in Hawkes Bay too, one of the HBRC biosecurity guys told me numbers are likely to exceed the previous highs of the 50's/60's soon. 5 years ago I never saw a deer here, now I have...
