00:00Back again and you've done pretty well with the ewe. What was it about the ewe do you think the judge Brenton Heaslewood liked?
00:07Look I think the judge liked her overall balance. She's a lovely ewe, very feminine and good length.
00:14The future for the Chevy. It's four studs this year which was a goodly number but the breed is fairly precarious.
00:23It's got a bit of a precarious toehold doesn't it?
00:25Well it has. The numbers are in decline and that's probably unfortunate for a breed that I think is underrated.
00:33One of the probably issues is it's a dual purpose breed so you're looking at wool and meat and a lot of the dual purpose breeds some don't see if they have a place anymore.
00:44So what advantage does Chevy have for merino breeders?
00:49It's just basically ease of breeding and vigour. The lambs are very vigorous when they're born.
00:55And they seem to do well in a great climatic range.
01:02Wogga's quite hot. We have hot summers and very cold winters.
01:05But they do equally well down on the coast. They've got good hard black feet.
01:10So wet conditions don't worry them too much.
01:13And their ancestor is the Chevy Beals in Scotland.
01:16Very cold, windy, snow and they survive.
01:25So wet conditions are the first way out of the country.
01:26They're gonna be in their shoes.
01:28Or they will be in your right hands.
01:30And they'll be in your right hands.
01:32It's usually worse.
01:34They'll be in your right hands.
01:35And they'll be disyptured with one of the most rare菜's species in the state.
01:37So if they're the same, they'll be in your right hands.
01:38So if that's a real topic you might have been to the bottom.
01:40So if you can see a regular菜, you can see a regular set of certain things.
