00:00Now we're in a supply group, Two Rangers Valley.

00:02We are tied up with Peter Hancock, a number of other like-minded producers,

00:06and that gives us a good footing for space in the feedlot

00:09and gives us somewhere to go with our in-product.

00:12We buy a lot of our new heifers, ewing heifers in.

00:15We then join them to the wagyu bulls.

00:18Then when they carve out, we turn the weaners out,

00:22grass feed them on the fescues and rye grasses,

00:26basically until they're at 420 to 450 kilos.

00:30We then sell them to Rangers Valley.

00:32F1s is just a market we've been following, mainly through Rangers Valley.
