“SHREK 2” has been found living in a forestry block adjoining Wairakaia Station at Muriwai and the long, woolly beast of a sheep will feature at the Spring Show. The Gisborne Shrek rivals the Merino wether found on Bendigo Station near Tarras in Otago in the South Island that SHREK 2 gained international fame in 2004. The original Shrek avoided the muster and the shearer for six years. Rob Faulkner, from Wairakaia, said the Gisborne Shrek had eluded him for around five years by living in a forestry block alongside the station. “Every attempt we made in the past to muster the animal failed. Over time sheep like it become a bit feral and get very cunning,” Rob said. “A few weeks ago it got into the back paddock and I realised just what a magnificent sheep it was.” Rob said he has not yet been able to tell if it’s a he or a she. He has talked to the people on the Poverty Bay A&P Show committee and it was agreed the Wairakaia Shrek will make an appearance. “We are working on a ‘guess the weight of the fleece’ competition, and at some time on the Friday afternoon of the Show, Shrek 2 will be shorn. “We are looking for a sponsor for the prize, which will be given out, along with the other livestock prizes.” SHREK THE SEQUEL: The district can lay claim to having a long, unshorn sheep (main picture) to rival the famous Shrek (inset) from the South Island that shot to international fame in 2004. Shrek 2 was found on Wairakaia Station recently and is to star at Poverty Bay A&P Show where his fleece will be shorn. Pictures supplied

STRONG SALE: Lane Bros Whangara AgriHQ Angus (pictured) and Ratanui Angus at Tauwhareparae sold 36 yearling bulls MARKET REPORT yesterday in their on-farm sales rostrums, and both studs were happy with the Week beginning September 21 results. Pictures by Paul Rickard LAMB Restaurant diners are now allowed back indoors in the US everywhere except New York City and some counties of California. This is a good thing considering that it will be getting too chilly for outdoor dining soon. But, indoor seating is limited to prevent disease spread and US restaurants are at breaking point trying to make ends meet with limited capacity. Restaurants in central business districts are particularly affected with office staff working from home. The National Restaurant Association estimates that 100,000, or nearly one in six US restaurants is permanently closed or on a long- term hiatus. This negatively impacts prices for meat cuts that are predominantly bought by restaurants, such as venison cut and frozen lamb racks. On the positive side, more consumers are purchasing lamb via retail outlets. This has boosted chilled lamb sales to the US. These consumers are taking notice of country of origin, particularly if they are trying to avoid Support for yearling bulls meat from Covid-affected areas, and attributes such as grass-fed and antibiotic free. by Murray Robertson studmaster Mel Story said they were of the Ratanui bulls. BEEF pleased with the result. Lane Bros Whangara Angus sold 17 for There was a softer tone in the US imported THE young bulls from Ratanui Angus “We learned a lot from the sale about a top price of $5500, and an average of manufacturing beef market this week. and Lane Bros Whangara Angus sold how we might go about it next season. $3767. US buyers have good supplies of domestic well in their on-farm yearling auctions “We are delighted with the result in “The bulls looked good, with genuinely beef around them.

A pessimistic outlook from buyers has put fellows for a top price of $7500, and a “Overall it was a good family day, and A report on today’s Turihaua yearling pressure on imported beef prices with bids sale average of $4715. we got a decent crowd to support us.” sale will be in Focus on the Land on coming in at US$2.42/lb for 95CL and US$2.15/lb It was their first yearling sale and Tauwharepare Farms purchased eight Saturday. for 90CL products. With New Zealand supplies at a minimum, exporters are in a good position to ignore these for now. The 95CL price indicator is sitting at US$2.45/lb on minimal sales and the 90CL indicator is at US$2.24/lb due to some competing sales to Canada. While prices are good for now, there is concern about this market when New Zealand supplies lift. Without strong competition from China, New Zealand will be at the mercy of the US market when our bull supply lifts. This may put some pressure on farmgate beef prices.

GRAIN Last week the World Agriculture Supply and Demand (WASDE) report was released, with estimates of the coming year of grain harvest, along with livestock, poultry and dairy. The global wheat outlook for the coming year is for larger supplies, with Canada and Australia expected to post their second and third highest wheat harvest. Wheat consumption is expected to increase over the coming year too. Corn, soybeans and canola yields are expected to fall over the coming year, with weather being the primary factor for this reduction. Storms in the mid-west United States and drought conditions in Eastern Europe have impacted maize yields. TOP PEN: Above left, this pen of six heavy prime lambs from the East Coast were a highlight in the small yarding at the China’s imports for wheat and corn are weekly sheep sale at the Matawhero saleyards on Friday.
