00:02 - Welcome back to another episode of Getting the Upper Land,

00:12 where we give you a rundown of some of our top stories.

00:15 I'm livestock editor, Rebecca Naj.

00:17 - And I'm senior journalist, Dennis Howard.

00:20 Well, Beth, we've been doing these reps

00:21 for the past six weeks.

00:22 What's really stood out for you?

00:24 - Probably just that even close friends and family

00:27 get sick of seeing our faces on their screens.

00:29 - It seems a bit hard to believe, but there you go.

00:31 - Is that why you're trying to cover your face?

00:34 - If that's the case, we should be doing

00:35 a much better job with your hair.

00:37 In news this week, I talked to a young couple

00:40 who believe they're custodians of the land

00:42 and not just farmers.

00:44 They bought their first property at Stubbo near Galgaon

00:46 and they're very much into soil restoration.

00:48 - That was a good read, actually.

00:50 And it's a great shot on the cover.

00:52 - Did you just give me a compliment?

00:54 Are you feeling okay?

00:56 - Well, clearly not.

00:57 - Another good story takes a look

00:59 at this week's prime cattle market,

01:01 which saw further price reductions across all types.

01:04 - Yeah, that was the market's lead story by Stephen Burns.

01:07 What else is happening in livestock, Beth?

01:09 - I chat with Brett Littler from the local land services

01:12 about how producers can prepare for a dry season.

01:15 His message is to have a plan and follow it through.

01:18 There's already a lot of dead feed around

01:19 and many producers are guilty of supplementing

01:22 several weeks too late.

01:23 - Yeah, that's a very good point.

01:25 What else is happening?

01:26 We've also got a good story by Bryce Eisold

01:28 from the Stock and Land team

01:30 who interviews Elders Studstock agent, Ryan Bejada,

01:33 who's about to be based out of Wagga.

01:35 Ryan talks about his upbringing in Malta

01:37 and how it's contributed to the career he has today.

01:40 - We also have a story from Jemison Murphy

01:42 from the national team who takes a look at calls

01:45 for a rural health overhaul.

01:47 State premiers believe the issue has become too vast

01:50 for one government to be able to handle.

01:52 - We've also got a wrap of the results from ECCA

01:54 where some of our New South Wales exhibitors

01:56 really did us proud.

01:58 Plus keep an eye out for comments

01:59 from international show judge, PJ Budler,

02:02 who talks about the disconnect between showing

02:04 and the commercial cattle industry.

02:06 - As always, the land is available

02:08 from all good news agencies.

02:09 - And you can jump online at theland.com.au.

02:12 And don't forget to like us on Facebook

02:14 and follow us on Instagram.

02:17 - See you next week.

02:17 - See ya.
