00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Hi, I'm Alan Jackson and I come from Widget Farm at Larnard.

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000
We farm here with my partner, Saint Gamot and Guy,

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
and we've been here probably the best part of 20 years.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:16.000
We are in a leathery business now, bringing bulls out for cut clients

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000
and we've got our own pedigree short runs

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
and one or two part chevets on the farm.

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Farm consists of 49 acres, which is a small farm,

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.000
so we do a bit of a rework out with the farmer as well,

9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
preparing cattle for shoes and seals.

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000
Right at the very start of the season, we've had a tremendous year.

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.000
We had male senior champion at UA for ourselves.

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.000
We had overall champion for a client, with an intermediate bull,

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
probably the best average of bulls we've had.

14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.000
We sold 23 bulls on our own and other people's bulls.

15
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000
We were just shy of 10,000 this year.

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.000
The products we're using with natural stock here,

17
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000
we know exactly what we're giving them.

18
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000
The system in here, we bring in a lot of cow bulls,

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.000
bulls in the back end, the command generally, middle of August.

20
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000
It's all new to them.

21
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.000
We put in Provener E, we put a tube of that over the shorts

22
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
to start with to settle them.

23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
It settles a gut, it settles a minty, eating and performing.

24
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
The Provener E powder we use as well, and the feeding.

25
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.000
We've used this product, probably the best part of just over 20 years now.

26
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.000
We find it really relaxes the cattle.

27
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
The Australian, the trailer, they come off the trailer again,

28
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
they're pains and they're ready to eat when we want them to eat.

29
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000
They're ready to drink when we want them to eat.

30
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.000
It just settles their gut, it settles their stomach.

31
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.550
All the time they're actually in here, they'll get a wee drop of that and they

32
00:01:43.550 --> 00:01:44.000
're feeding.

33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
It's a product I would continue using, I know it if it ever went off the market

34
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.000
because it just does the job.

35
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.000
We've got all fashion that way, I use what works.

36
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000
We watch the animals on their performance and the supreme finisher will use

37
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.590
if we're needing to start weaving more muscle in them and we've got more flesh

38
00:02:00.590 --> 00:02:01.000
on them.

39
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000
We try to use that as a tool and it works really well for us.

40
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.000
As far as I'm concerned, it's like a racing car as we say.

41
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000
You can put ordinary oil on a racing car but on no work as well,

42
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.000
you've got a good product, a correct product in the animal.

43
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.090
I would recommend it, I wouldn't like to tell too many folk about it because it

44
00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:22.000
does a real job for me.

45
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.000
The products I've worked with over the years have done their job.

46
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.000
I'm really pleased with them.

47
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:37.000
