There’s no beef about the weather
By DAVID HILL
Highland dancers weren’t the only
people performing ajig at the Rangiora
A&P Show.
Weather can make or break aoneday
agricultural show. Organisers awoke on
Saturday to near perfect conditions, in
what went on to become one of the nicest
days so far in achangeable spring.
The fine conditions lured showgoers
in their hundreds.
Cattle classes might have been
cancelled due to the Mycoplasma bovis
outbreak, but all ages flocked to see the
sheep.
Youngsters were leading their pet
lambs, old farmers were spinning yarns,
and even new Waimakariri Mayor Dan
Gordon cast his eye over the sheep
entries.
It was Mr Gordon’s first official public
engagement since being sworn in as
mayor last Thursday.
‘‘My favourite time of the year is
always coming to our local A&P show, to
see all the machinery, to see the
livestock, to see all the horses and
everything that goes on.’’
Mr Gordon says while he has no
livestock on his lifestyle block at Ashley
at present, he has akeen interest in
Suffolks.
Youngsters Anna Gartery, aged 8, and
Amelie Bell, 7, were thrilled to win
ribbons with their pet lambs in the Years
3&4and Years 1&2classes,
respectively.
Anna comes from afarm at Cust and
says her lamb is ‘‘cuddly’’. She likes the
way he walks next to her.
Amelie says she gives her lamb ‘‘so
many cuddles’’. She plans to hang the
ribbon up with her other prizes when
she gets home.
Hugh Taylor had the job of selecting
the allbreeds champions. He was
impressed with the sheep on display.
‘‘I know the numbers are down awee
bit, but generally the standard is very
high. Alot of these sheep will go through
the Canterbury A&P Show and do very
well.’’

Matt shows he has the right moves
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The South Island Chess
Championship trophy has a
new home in Rangiora,thanks
to the efforts of chess player
MattMcNabb.
For him, the ancient game
is both apleasure and a
passion, and it’s been thatway
since he first learned his way
around it as a5yearold.
He describes it as agame
that’s easy to learn, but
complicated to master.
‘‘I was taughttoplay chess
by my grandfather, who left
me his handturned chess set
whenhedied.
‘‘I then wentontoplay club
chess, as wellasplayingon
the computer, constantly
learning new strategies and
new ways of looking at the
game.
‘‘I love it. It’s great fun,
leaves nothing to chance,and
you never playthe samegame
twice.
‘‘Infact,it’s said there are
morepossible chess positions
thanthere are atoms in the
universe,’’ he says.
Matthas honed his skills
and competed extensively
overthe years, although he
has not managed to fit in many
tournaments since moving
backtoCanterbury from
Auckland 12 yearsago and
starting afamily.
However, he did make it to
thismonth’stournament at
the HeritageHotel in Hanmer
Springs.There, he playedhis
way to becomingjoint holder
of the South Island title,
bringingthe trophy backto
Waimakariri for six months,
before sending it to

Gulls opt for abetter
river spot after flood
Blackbilled gulls have been gathering
over the lasttwo months in preparation
for breeding on the AshleyRakahuri
River.
Theirprogress towards nestinghas
been an interesting but chequered
journey, as it has beeninprevious years.
AshleyRakahuri RivercareGroup
member Grant Davey says, at first,the
birdssettled not farwest of the Cones
Road bridge,
‘‘Buttheir choice was not good,asit
involved low islands very prone to
flooding.
‘‘Fortunately, only asmallpercentage
of them were on nests because, as
feared, afresh on October 19 forced
them to move, he says.
Within aday, they had congregated
againabout 3km downstream, on amuch
more suitable site, and by October22at
least2200 birdshad beencounted.
‘‘It was ahigherweedfree island
offering protection fromboth floods and
predators. The numberpresent is very
similar to that whichinitiallyarrived on
the river last year,’’MrDaveysays.
Elsewhereonthe river, there has
been avariable start to the breeding
season for other species.
One of the firsttoarrive was the
banded dotterel. Mostnow have young
chicks, while the pied stilt and blackfronted
tern are only just starting to lay
eggs.
‘‘There are at leastsix pairs of wrybill
present. Four havealready hatched
chicks, includingthat of the onlybanded
bird,BWBW.
‘‘He is present at his usual sitefor his
10th season.’’
Wrybill are the most iconic birdof
braided rivers and only breed in
Canterbury.
GroupChairman NickLedgardsays,
despite its unique status, comparatively
little is known about the species.
‘‘Forthis reason, we are askingthe
public to vote for the wrybill as New
Zealand’sBird of the Year —a
competition which gets under way
towards theend of thismonth.’’

Business optimism

By ROBYN BRISTOW
North Canterbury businesses are
holding their own and are
optimistic aboutthe future,
despite being nervous aboutthe
wider New Zealand business
situation, according to the latest
North Canterbury Business
Opinion Survey.
The results, released this week
by Enterprise NorthCanterbury
(ENC),reveal strength in the local
business community, with
business profitability no longer
negative (net 0% profitability
compared to net 15%inApril),
and 48% of businessesexpecting
more profitinthe coming year.
Thirtypercent expect to
maintain current profit margins.
ENC business supportmanager
Miles Dalton says it has been a
tough year for manylocal
businesses, but the future is
looking good.
‘‘On the whole,both salesand
profits have been flat over the last
six months, but lookingat
previous profit cyclesthe
indicators are that we should see
some good results over 2020.
‘‘Thisupcoming cycleiscoming
from alower base so we can
predict aprofitable 2020,but
perhaps not as good as some other
yearshave been.’’
The surveyalso reveals that
businesses are holding backon
further investmentatthe moment,
but are optimistic about their own
prospectsfor the coming six
months.
Local business owner Laura
Good, of Create Design Studio in
Rangiora, says she is feeling
positiveabout the comingmonths.
‘‘I am excited for the next six
months.
‘‘Wehave actually seena
significant lift in our turnover in
the past six months, but Iknow
somebusinesses have

While it is hardtopredictwhat’s
coming, Ilike to lookonthe
positive side.’’
The surveyed businesses
expressedalack of confidence in
the general business situation in
New Zealandwith anet 41%
confidence level. Thisisthe
lowest level recorded sinceENC
started surveying in 2013, but is in
linewith businesses across New
Zealand.
Local businessesare continuing
to employmore staff and the gross

Canterbury is growingatthe same
level as New Zealand as awhole.
‘‘It’s certainlyamixed bag of

‘‘There is alevel of optimism

Retired councillor would do it again
By DAVID HILL
John Meyer says he has enjoyed
working as part of ‘‘some great
teams’’ during his time in local
government.
He retired this month from
the Waimakariri District
Council after five terms as a
councillor, but will continue to
serve on the KaiapoiTuahiwi
Community Board.
‘‘If Ihad the opportunities
again Iwould certainly do it.
It’s been that pleasurable and
we’ve had some great teams,’’
Mr Meyer says.
He was first elected to the
Ashley County Council in 1973,
when he was aged 25 and living
in Amberley.
‘‘It was my involvement with
Jaycees in Amberley which led
to me standing. They
nominated me for council and I
got on.
‘‘Councillors in those days
didn’t get paid, so Iappreciate
these people who say they need
more support. But Iwas lucky.
Lynda was ateacher and Ihad
agood firm Iwas working for
who encouraged me and liked
the idea of me being on the
council.
‘‘It was areally good learning
curve and it was so enjoyable
and challenging.’’
After two terms on the Ashley
County Council, the Meyers
returned to Kaiapoi where Mr
Meyer joined the family
business at Williams Garage,
now the Caltex service station.
His fatherinlaw Ben
Williams served three terms as
Kaiapoi mayor.
In the 1980s Mr Meyer joined
the Kaiapoi High School board
of governors before being
elected on to the board of
trustees and serving as board
chairman.
He was first elected to the
Waimakariri District Council
in 1995 and served two terms as
Kaiapoi Community Board
chairman before missing in
2001 by just four votes.
‘‘In those first two terms we
had really good teams. We had
some big challenges with the
sewage system, growth and the
roundabouts.
‘‘The sewage system was
corrected and sent out to sea
rather than into the river, and
the town was growing far faster
than we thought it would.’’
In 2010 he was reelected to
the council and has served on
the local community board in
all but three of the last 24 years.
‘‘You can do little things as an
individual, but, for the big
things, working as ateam
makes it far more achievable.’’
Given many councillors are
juggling jobs or running
businesses, Mr Meyer wonders
whether there should be fewer
councillors to make it afulltime
role and more authority
could be delegated to
community boards.
‘‘I think there’s some merit in
it and Ithink it would be fairer.
That will come up for
discussion again in the review
period and those questions will
be asked in ademocratic way.’’
The Meyers have two adult
children and four
grandchildren.
In his retirement, Mr Meyer
plans to spend more time with
his grandchildren, in his
garden, working on his classic
cars, and whitebaiting.
He owns an MGB GT sports
car, aRover P6B and a1964
Rover P4.
Long service ... John Meyer
received aspecial trophy
depicting his Rover P6B, in
recognition for serving as
chairman of the Waimakariri
District Council’s road safety
committee for the last nine years.

West Eyreton resident Wendy Morganis

She is trying to traceher family tree,
but is hamperedbythe factthat
computers don’t comenaturally to her.
In particular, she is lookingtofind out
more about one ancestor, aman called
William Wilson.
His nickname was Cabbage, given—
apparently—because of his preference
for hatswoven from cabbage tree leaves.
He was aprominentnurseryman and
landowner in Christchurch,with one
record showingacauliflower that was
more thanthree feetincircumference
and weighing 11lb –— just ashadeoff 5kg.
He was also the first mayorof
Christchurch and seemstohave been a
powerfuland authoritative figure.
He was apparently responsible for the
central islandtree plantings on
Fitzgeraldand Bealey avenues, and
possibly the plantings on the banks of the
Avon.
Thesewere all implementedwhen he
was subcommittee chairman responsible
for thelandscaping of thoseareas,
according to the website Papers Past.
Unfortunately, his private lifewasn’t so
Phillipa says Satisfy’s focusremains
on better living and raisingawareness.
‘‘We are trying to find away to engage
the community and the focus is on waste
reduction in the home.’’
She sayspeople regularly throwout

‘‘People get confused with the ‘best

freshness, so it’s all about using your
senses,’’ Phillipasays.
‘‘If the datewasn’t there, how would

Young talent gets an opportunity to shine
By DAVID HILL
Established musicianDavidRea
is impressed with the young
talentWaimakariri has to offer.
The former Rangiora High
Schoolstudent was back in his
home townlast Thursday evening
to judge at WaiYouth’s
CentreStage 6and performwith
his band, ElectricTemples,inthe
Rangiora Town Hall.
‘‘It was avery hardcompetition
to judge; theirtalent is so high,’’
David says. ‘‘I thinkthat halfof
the vocalists, if they auditioned
for JazzSchool(at Ara Institute of
Canterbury) theywould get in.
‘‘I’m glad that we were justa
guest act.’’
The 24yearold is studying at
the Christchurch Jazz school. He
is working on his first solo album,
Time,and is amember of the
band The Preservatives,as well as
Electric Temples.
He was one of theoriginal
members of youthevents group
WaiYouth, in the days before
Centrestage.
The other judges were Emily
Johnstone, aformerstudent of
Rangiora High School and the
Hartley School of Performing
Arts, and Shannyn Miller, aJazz
Schoolstudent who playselectric
guitarfor Electric Temples.
They had to choose between
dancing and aerobics,aswell as
vocalists and instrumentals
performing anything from pop
and rock to opera.
Rangiora High School deputy
head boy LachieJames began the
entertainmentwith aduet with
his sisterBrianna as aguest act,
before returning for the final act.
The winner’s cheque of $1000
was presentedtoRangiora High
School student Sophia Ambrose,
aged 17, who performed
Habanera from the French opera
Carmen.
‘‘I have been singing for as long
as Ican remember.Iwatched the
musical Tomorrow whenIwas
five yearsold and Iwas really
inspiredbythat.’’
Sophia is planing to study
musicatthe University of
Canterbury next year and
performs avariety of music.
‘‘I played punk rock on electric
guitar in last year’s CentreStage.’’
Dancer Ataleya Dickie, aged
15, astudent of Rangiora High
School and the Jenna McKenzie
School of Dance, wassecond for
her original choreographed
routine of the song BodyLove by
Mary Lambert.
‘‘I just finished learning it this
morning. It’s asong about
bullying against girls and
accepting yourself, because true
beauty comes from the inside.’’
Ataleya says she will put her
$500 cheque towards attending a
danceconvention in Auckland
next year.
Kaiapoi High School pupil
Josh Keating, aged14, was third,
afteralead malfunction on his
guitar loop pedal put his
performance in jeopardy.
He returned after the
intermission to blow the crowd
away with The Eaglesclassic
HotelCalifornia.
‘‘I thoughtIhad lost it, but I
came back out in my hoodie and
Ijust went for it.’’
Winners are grinners ... Josh
Keating, left, aged 14, Ataleya
Dickie, 15, and Sophia Ambrose,
17 took home the prizes at

‘We have to play our part’
By DAVID HILL
New Environment
Canterbury councillor
GrantEdge expects the
regional body’s ‘‘climate
emergency’’ will remain
in place for some time
yet.
He says climate
change, biodiversity and
waterissues are the most
challenging issues facing
the Canterbury region.
‘‘Climatechangeisa
huge issue acrossthe
board. Whatare we going
to do about climate
change and all the
implications it brings?
‘‘It’s notonly aboutsealevelrise
and lowlying
areaswhichare
vulnerable to flood,but
changes to biodiversity
and the effects on plants
and animals.
‘‘Theworld is saying
‘letsget on with it
because it’shappening
already’, even in New
Zealand. It’s aglobal
issueand we havetoplay
our part.’’
Mr Edgewas elected
alongside sitting
councillorClaireMcKay
in the North Canterbury
ward and is no stranger
to water and biodiversity
issues, having served10
yearsonthe Waimakariri
Zone Committee.
‘‘It’sencouraging that
peoplewith good
experience,who havea
wide breadth of
knowledge and are able
to ask questions and
understand theanswers,
have been elected on to
the council.
‘‘A number of them are
scientists or have served
on zone committeesor
the regional committee,
so we’vegot abit of a
taste for what’s going on.’’
He says it is essential
councillors bring awide
range of skills, giventhe
diversityofareas in
which ECan is engaged,
including air quality,
biodiversityand
biosecurity, freshwater
management,hazards,
risk and resilience,
regional leadership and
transport and urban
development.
‘‘It’sthe realisation
that ECan coversacross
the whole regionand
you’remaking decisions
that impact acrossthe
whole area.
‘‘In the campaign there
was areal sense of alack
of understanding about
what ECanactually does,
so there, perhaps, needs
to be better
communication.’’
He says ECan’s
primary role is acting on
New challenge ... Grant Edge is looking forward to
playing arole in Canterbury’s future.

New mayor set
for challenges
By DAVID HILL
Craig Mackle is looking
forward to the challenge of
being Kaikoura’s new mayor.
Mr Mackle was due to be
sworn in yesterday at the first
meeting of the new council
after winning the mayoralty
by just 12 votes.
He says he has spent the
last two weeks ‘‘learning the
ropes’’, attending
school camp and
‘‘looking at my
calendar and
thinking ‘oh my
God’!’’.
‘‘The earthquake
recovery will be the
main focus over the
next few years, to
finish what we’ve
started and stepping
forward to brighter and better
things.
‘‘The next 12 to 18 months
will be pretty hectic as there’s
still quite abit of work to do
until we get back on alevel
keel.’’
Mr Mackle says the new
council will be heading away
for aretreat next month to
plan ahead for the next three
years. It will be held at Mt
Lyford.
Three years ago the newly
elected council was on a
Craig Mackle
planning retreat at St Arnaud
in the Nelson region when the
7.8magnitude earthquake
struck on November 14, 2016.
The councillors made a
hasty retreat back toward
Kaikoura, but soon found
themselves cut off from the
town until being rescued by
helicopter.
‘‘It definitely created abit
of panic and upset,’’ Mr
Mackle recalls.
The new mayor
has been actively
involved in setting
up acharitable trust
to build anew
community pool and
the trust will now
need to appoint a
new trustee, as the
mayor is
automatically
appointed to the trust.
Mr Mackle says he has big
shoes to fill, following the
retirement of Winston Gray,
who led the district for nine
years, including in the
immediate aftermath on the
2016 earthquake.
‘‘I’ve only spoken with
Winston briefly, on the side of
the road, as he’s avery busy
man.
‘‘I just hope Idon’t have the
same challenges he’s had to
deal with.’’
We have an early Christmas present for farmers!
Get a FREE Logger upgradefor water consent meter,soil moisture
and temperature monitoring equipment.
Are you aware that ECan is focussing on Data Gaps for consent monitoring data and taking follow up action? This is
where alogger has not captured data for aperiod of time and shows in the ECan records as aData Gap. If you are still
using Aquacom monitoring units and the Aquacomnetwork you may be at risk of having Data Gaps.
ECan have been communicating with data providers and farmers advising of data missing going back to 2018 (and in
some cases 2017). This places additional and unnecessary stress on farmers and creates additional work for all of us.
From our experience, most Data Gap issues are with the Aquacom units, so we’ve decided to solve this problem at the
source by offering afree IoT logger in exchange for Aquacom units on properties throughout Canterbury. Farmers
will get an improvement indata timelines, data reliability and eliminate additional expensive Aquacom repair costs.
Not only will we replace your IoT logger, ifyou sign up before the end of November 2019, Watermetrics will waive
your consent monitoring fees from now until the end of 2019 season.
By choosing the free upgrade, you will receive monitoring technology that can add additional sensors to monitor a

LOVE YOUR LAND
Transform
your garden
with anatural timber sauna
For those seeking the ultimate in garden lifestyle,
the answer canbefound at CanterburySaunas, says
business owner Mark Smith. As he explains, aFinnish
barrel sauna turns agarden into asanctuary of
relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation.
The barrels come from Finland and
are made by apassionate family
company, who live, breathe and
sleep sauna, Mark says. They are
handcrafted fromThermowood, a
very slow-growing Nordic Spruce
that has been heat-treated at205
degrees celcius for two days. The
timber is free of resin, durable, and
not prone to warping, so is perfect
for sauna. Thermowood is also 25 per
cent more thermally efficient compared to
cedar.
“Similar-looking saunas are available elsewhere.
However, at Canterbury Saunas we use 45mm-thick
timber to ensure longevity and we offer many upgrade
options, such aswindows and different lengths and
widths.
”People were taken aback at the recent Canterbury
Home Show, at the quality of the ball-and-socket
joinery and how many growth rings were on the timber
walls –people kept coming up and stroking them,”
Mark says.
Unrivalled in size and options for customisation,
Canterbury Saunas also exclusively offers
the Huum heater range, from 4.5kw to
18kw. The standard model holds 55kg
of stones, which produces fabulous
steam, and with an upgrade option
the heater can be controlled
remotely with asmart phone.
For amore rustic feel, clients can
also upgrade to atraditional woodburning
heater, perfect for people in
remote locations.
Mark says sauna compares well to a
conventional spa pool, without the need to
run the heater constantly. Hehas used his St Albans
sauna several times aweek for over ayear and has
found that the electricity costs are about $2 asession.
Virtually maintenance free, there are noslippery steps,
filters tobechanged or harsh chemicals to add to the
sauna –aquicksweep outand wipe down every few
weeks issufficient. Oiling the outside of the timber
once ayear is also recommended.
Published studies from the University of Bristol, which
used very large study groups over 20 years, have
come back with some interesting findings, Mark says.
Regular use ofFinnish-style saunas can reduce blood
pressure and the chance ofstroke. It also benefits
skin condition and eases breathing problems. Soft
tissue aches and pains are also eased in the heat of
sauna. Finally, the barrel shape and quiet environment
combine to create afeeling of peace and sanctuary
away from the hectic pace of life.

Ease aches and pains away with a Scandinavian
designed and crafted barrel sauna, the hot
new option with some great advantages.
1. Saunas only use power when in use.
2. Saunas aren’t noisy.
3. Easier to keep clean with no need for chemicals.
4. Enjoyable in any weather, cocooned from
the elements.
5. Safer – no slippery steps, level floor, and easy to get

6. Lower maintenance because there’s only one

Wonderful wheels ... Malcolm Fraser and his wife, Joanne, enjoy getting out and
about in Audrey.
Audrey loves to cruise the
highways and byways
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Rangiora’s Malcolm Fraser loves
cruising in Audrey.
He bought the 1965 Ford
Thunderbird, which sports a
stunning Cherry Bomb Amethyst
paint job, about 12 months ago. He
was drawn by its spaciousness.
He had previously owned two, twoseater
Corvettes. But now there is
room for his wife, Joanne, and the
grandchildren
Malcolm will be lining up with
Audrey at the USA Day at Woodend
on Sunday, November 3.
He bought the ‘‘old cruisey’’ lefthanddrive,
390cubicinch V8 from
Tauranga.
‘‘She came in from California, was
cream, and was pretty much original.
‘‘She is not completely finished
being restored —nocar ever is,’’
Malcolm says.
He tries to take her for atrip every
weekend. ‘‘She floats along. Ilove
driving her.’’
Joanne, on the other hand, has no
intention of getting behind the wheel
and mastering lefthand drive. ‘‘It’s
his sport,’’ she says.
They both helped name Audrey.
Joanne had put a‘‘Laundry’’ sign
up in their new laundry, but the land
the nfailed to stick.
Hence her name Audrey, which
can be seen on the Thunderbird’s
back window.
He is considering airbrushing
Audrey on to the boot, in honour of
the late actress Audrey Hepburn.

Tony marvels at the digital revolution
By GINA MCKENZIE
WhenTony Benny startedhis
journalism careerinrural
Timaru in the 1970s,hehanded
overhis articles and photos to
the local bus drivertotakethem
to the mainnewspaper office.
Today, he usescuttingedge
technologytoexpand his video
production and communications
businessbased at Coopers
Creek,nearOxford.
‘‘Itseemsfunnylooking back
and remembering hurrying to
get my copyand photos to the
bus driverbefore he headed off
to Timaru to drop it off at the
Herald.’’
TonystartedUpside Down
Productions in 1998while still
workingfor CountryCalendar.
He credits advances in
technology, including camera
equipment, theinternet andnew
devices such as drones with
enabling himtooperate a
nationwide business from atiny
Canterbury village.
‘‘Itwas agradual process as I
startedbuying equipment and
gainingclients, butwithout
advances in technology I
definitely wouldn’tbewhere I
am today.
‘‘It’samazing thatIcan sitin
my home officeand upload
videos or photos in acoupleof

how it used to be.
‘‘Everything has become
smaller and moreaffordable
overthe last30years. Being able
to capture drone footageadds a

Tony saysmanyadvances have

when teleprinterswereusedin
newsrooms acrossNew Zealand.
Themachinesprinted outnews

be along trail of computer paper
snaking throughthe studioeach

‘‘Iremember we had one guy
in the TVNZnewsroom in
Dunedin whose solejob was
lookingafterthe teleprinter.
‘‘It was something of acrisis
when Iwas asub editor at the
OtagoDaily Times if the
teleprintersbrokedown —a
manfromthe PostOffice would
be called in at anytime of day or
night to get them goingagain.’’
When Tony workedfor TVNZ
in Wellington during the 1980s,
thefax machine wasviewedasa
great step forwardfrom
teleprinters.
‘‘To be abletotype something
andthenfeeditinto afax forit
to be printed off in someother
office seemed remarkable then.’’
Tony laughs when comparing
teleprintersand faxes to the
technology used by his new
drone.‘‘I got aphone callthe

Tonytravels alloverNew

enjoysthe flexibility of usinghis

Milking efficiency helpstoattractand
retainstaff through better labour
management.
When long workinghours onfarm
becomethe norm,stress, fatigue,and
resentment can start to dominatedaily
routines.
Often,sharemilkersorstaff will move
on to another farm where the worklife
balance is better.
On most dairy farms, milkingaccounts
for more than 50 percent of staffhours,
so it makes sense to target that areafor
efficiency, as savings can significantly
reducetotal hours worked.
That’swhy consultantJosh Wheeler, a
recognisedMilksmartexpertfrom
quality management systems provider
QCONZ,has beencontracted by
DairyNZ to work directly with farmer
discussiongroups and provide
Milksmart workshops for rural
professionals.
His aim is to helpfarmers understand
the valueofDairyNZ’s Milksmart
efficiency programmeand other similar
approaches, suchasDairyNZ’s MaxT
milking strategy.
With MaxT, cowsare milked to a
maximum time —one that will shorten
milking duration for up to the slowest 20
percent of cows.
‘‘Any dairy farmers who can provide
betterworking hours for themselves and
their team are morelikely to attract and
retainstaff,’’ Mr Wheeler says.
‘‘Demand is outstripping the supply of
suitable people for onfarmroles,partly
because unemployment across the
country is only 4%.
breeding strategy.’’
The herd’spedigree
HolsteinFriesians are
registered under Belbrook
Holsteins.
It is the leading herd in New
Zealand for having the highest
number of excellent cows (120),
according to Holstein
International magazine.
Robbie’s longterm goal is for
one of his bovine beauties to be
named supreme champion
dairy cow at theNew Zealand
Agricultural Show.
The Wakelins are taking
eight cowsand fourheifers to
nextmonth’s show.
His love of showing began in
primary school, when his late
father Trevor Wakelin boughta
cow named Cresslands
Ambition Dalia EX4.
‘‘ShowingDalia’sfirst calf
ignited my passionfor cows
and the Holstein Friesian
breed in particular,’’ he says.
Robbie doesn’tjust show
cattle; he is also atrained
judge. He became an associate
judge in 2008, when he was 16.
He has judged at several
shows, onfarm competitions
and club competitions.
‘‘Onfarmswheremilkingtimes are
morethan threehours, staffare waking
before 4am to go and get the cows,’’ he
says.
‘‘That’shard on the body,gettingupat
thattime.
‘‘So, if theycan become more efficient
at milking and startcloser to 5am,
everyone can get abit more time in bed.
‘‘That’sone of the main‘buyins’ for
manyfarmersand their staff.
‘‘Implementing MaxT’s milking
strategy has been showntobethe most
efficient way to milk cows.
‘‘I’ve found that, onfarm, MaxT
provides benefits that are not only good
for people, but also for cow health and
the business’s bottomline.’’
Mr Wheeler has worked withplentyof
farmers using Milksmart and MaxT who
havesaved one to two hours per milking
—that’stwo to four hours aday if
milking twice daily.
The teamcan also plan around
milking with more accuracy, thanks to
moreconsistent finishing times.
‘‘Farmers talk about ‘labour saving’,
but they’re not looking to cut back on
labour.
‘‘It’s aboutredirecting it, so theydon’t
needtoadd extra time on to the day to
get other jobs done.
‘‘Italso frees up more timefor better
decisionmakingand for family,
community and other nonwork
activities.’’

DAIRY FARMING IN NORTH CANTERBURY
North Canterbury News, October 31, 2019
Cows sure to look their best at show
By DAVID HILL
The Sherriff familyisbusy
transitioning cows from
grass to dry feed, as the
New Zealand Agricultural
Show approaches.
The North Canterbury
dairy farmers have won
supremechampiondairy
cow at the Christchurch
show for the last three
years and have ateam of
seven cowsintraining for
this year’sshow.
Olivia Cahill farms with
her husband Jared and
father Peter Sherriff at
Ohoka, near Rangiora, and
is in charge of preparing
the team of cowsfor the
show, being heldat
CanterburyAgricultural
Park in midNovember.
‘‘We start about fourto
five weeks out, by bringing
them off the grass and
puttingthem in the shed,
feedingthem hay, putting
them on the halter and
then returningthem to
grass.
‘‘A weekout from the
show they are just on dry
feed, replicating what they
will get at the show.’’
Olivia saysthe pens at
the show are prepared over
the weekend,‘‘so by the
time we bringthe cowsin
on Mondaythey can just
walk in, sit down and
relax’’.
The cowswill stick to
their normal schedule of
morningand evening
milkings duringshow
week, except on Thursday,
which is judging day.
‘‘We get them full of milk
on Thursday.Wewill work
out how much milk to keep
on them so the judge can
look at how they holdtheir
milk up,’’ she says.
‘‘It’sabouttaking what
you’vebred and showing
them off and hopefully
doing well.’’
Peter says showing cattle
is about production
attributes, rather than ‘‘a
beautycontest’’.
Their twotimesupreme
champion cow, 7yearold
Maria,was recently tested
with 48 litresofmilk.
‘‘Mostfarmers would be
happy if theircows were
producing 20 litres and it
doesn’t costtwice as much
to feedher and you don’t
need to get her in calftwice
as oftentoget that48
litres.’’
The Sherrainestud cows
weigh in at around600kg
each, considered ‘‘too big’’
by New Zealand standards;
and American genetics are
used in their breeding,
which means the
Sherraine herd has apoor
‘‘breed worth’’ratingwith
Livestock Improvement
Corporation (LIC).
‘‘We have aminus187
‘breedworth’, whichis
considered oneofthe
poorest herdsinNew
Zealand,’’ Peter says.
‘‘But how many cows

have produced more than
45,000litres of milk in their
lifetime?’’
Carra,now 11, who won
supreme champion in 2016,
has producedmore than
60,000litres and was the
only entrant in the
45,000plus litresclass at
last year’s show. This year
Carra will be joinedby
Maria in the 45,000plus
litresclass, Olivia says.
‘‘Environmental issues
are the big thing going
forward and theseare the
New Zealandcowsofthe
future.’’
The next big thing ... Olivia Cahill checks on 5yearold
cow Lucy, who she hopes will enjoy some success at the
New Zealand Agricultural Show.

Coating breakthrough hailed as agame-changer
Could nanotechnology increase onfarm
productivityand reduce environmental
impacts?
That is aquestion aLincoln University
research teamhopes to answer, thanks to
a$1milliongrant from the Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment’s
endeavour fund.
Lincoln University Associate Professor
Craig Bunt says his team will develop a
groundbreaking nanocoatingwhich can
be appliedtofertilisertocontrol its rate of
release into soil, and to seeds to control
their timing of germination.
‘‘Controlling fertiliser rateofrelease is
important because release that is too
rapid can result in excessive nitrogen
being lost into soil and waterways, causing
significant pollution and other negative
environmental impacts.
‘‘When nitrogen is lost,farmers must
apply more fertiliser to achieve desired
results, which increases farming costs.’’
The team will initially focus on
understanding the science of the new
polyester nanocoatingand its
biodegradation.

Germanborn alpaca judge
RobinNasemann has been
lineduptojudge at this year’s
show,says Anne Rogers, who is
convenor of the cattle and
alpaca committee.
‘‘We’re thrilled to haveRobin
and it shouldcreate plenty of
interest in the alpaca section,’’

America.
Mr Nasemann also holds
seminars about alpacasacross
Europe.
Mrs Rogerssaysalpaca
entries are up slightly on last
year, withjudging due to take
place on the Thursday and
Fridayofthe show.
Having thealpacas located
close to the cattle ring makes
the jobofconvening both
sections easier, she says.
‘‘Most of my time will be with
the alpacas, but Idorove over
to the otherside throughoutthe
three days.
‘‘Wemoved the alpacas to a
new area last year,whichhas
worked reallywell.
‘‘I love the new area; it’s on a
diagonal, so we back on to the
cattle arena.
‘‘It’s areallynice area.’’
Taste Hurunui at this Saturday’s Amberley A&P show is

Nerves expected for
Cup Day race call
By SHELLEY TOPP
Next month’s New Zealand Trotting Cup
Day at Addington Raceway will be a
nervoustime for Canterbury’s new race
caller, Matthew Cross.
The young commentator, who grew up
in Kaiapoi and went to school there, took
over from Mark McNamara as race
caller for the Canterbury region last
August.
He was aguest speaker at the
Rangiora Harness Racing Club’s annual
generalmeetingthis month.
Matthew, aged 26, said he was looking
forwardtocalling the $750,000 race on
Tuesday, November 12.
It was something he had longed to do
since he was ateen watching Reon
Murtha calling races at Addington.
‘‘Everyone else was watching the races
but Iwas watching Reon up in the
commentary box,’’ he said.
‘‘I knew then that was what Iwanted to
do when Iwas old enough.
HARNESS RACING
‘‘I am very fortunate to be doing what
Iamdoing now.’’
However, he is sure there will be
butterflies before the big race on Cup
Day.
‘‘It will be an incredible honour to call
such aprestigious race.
‘‘Everyday Ithink about it.’’
After leaving school, Matt became a
junior driver working for Cran Dalgety
at West Melton for two years.
He also worked for Mark Jones at
Burnham andWoodendBeach trainers
David and Catherine Butt before
accepting acadetship with the New
Zealand Racing Board as understudy to
Mark McNamara and Trackside
