Listen Now. PGG Wrightson Livestock Report on The Country 03 Aug 2021.
The Country’s Jamie Mackay is joined by PGG Wrightson’s national genetics manager, Callum Stewart, to talk about New Zealand’s livestock market.
Mackay comments how Fielding might be the nation’s capital for farming, especially since they have the biggest sale yards in the country. Stewart confirms that there will be a sale proceeding tomorrow within current government protocols.
Stewart notes that tomorrows livestock sale will adhere to strict social distancing rules, compulsory face masks, and essential people only.
Mackay queries the process for the upcoming semen sale being hosted on Bidr, 7pm on the 7th September. Stewart adds that this technology has allowed them to reach commercial clients for a reasonable cost, and it is something that they have not done in New Zealand before.
Pre Covid19 and Bidr, semen sales took place privately with clients. Stewart adds that technology has allowed them to grow this area of the market and Bidr has become a great success.
