With our regular host Bryan Gibson still laid low with covid this week, senior journalist Richard Rennie talks to senior journalist Hugh Stringleman.

Stringleman unpacks some of the recent record prices paid for Angus stud bulls at this late point in the selling season, coming after a relatively lacklustre round of stud sales in past weeks.

He also talks in detail about the challenge facing Synlait as it seeks to raise $130 million to pay off loans due in early July.
