Deerly beloved
Sitting on 227 hectares just out of Cambridge, the Raroa Red Deer Stud has been producing venison, velvet and trophy deer for the past 30 years. At the helm for 21 of those years is manager Bill Robinson, who will be hanging up his boots next year and retiring into Cambridge – time for a well-earned rest. The property on Fergusson Gully Rd was a sheep and beef farm until it was converted into a deer farm back in 1988, with the accompanying sixfoot fences and custom-built deer shed installed. And long races with sharp right-angled turns put in to cater to the deer’s tendency to run quickly, then zig-zagging to escape. “There’s a lot of psychology in deer farming,” Bill explained. The 70s and 80s was a boom time for the deer industry, Bill continued, with tax incentives from successive governments intent on diversifying the country’s farming industry. Fast-forward thirty years and Bill reckons around 2000 deer farms in New Zealand are now without deer on them. “Those left in the industry are passionate about it,” he said, explaining that there have been a lot of dips over the years. The overseas demand for velvet has kept the industry going throughout, with New Zealand producing half of the global supply. It’s mostly used in Asian medicine and health care products, Bill explained, with the term referring to the stick of velvet not just the furry coating on the outside of it. “It feels like the velvet curtains,” he laughed, “but it’s not”. And the international demand for New Zealand venison outstrips current supply, Bill said. “That’s why venison is expensive in the New Zealand market,” he explained, adding that the price it fetches overseas makes it more worthwhile for farmers to export the meat than sell it domestically. With 650 stags and 500 hinds on the Raroa stud near Karapiro, the red deer there are bred for different purposes. Over the past five or six years, Bill said the stud has moved back to velvet, with venison and trophy animals a by-product of production. The stud now favours animals with thick antlers which are well-suited for velvet production, with bigger animals suitable for venison and deer with a multi-pointed sire most likely producing trophy animals.

Deerly beloved
Continued from page 1 The velvet herd stands at 480 stags, with Raroa’s velvet adding to the 725 tons of velvet the country produces each year – up from 400 tons just six years ago. Raroa is a member of a co-operative, which sees the velvet sent to Christchurch along with velvet from other farms around the country and graded like with like. It used to be batched and sold in massive quantities by tender, Bill said, explaining that the process has changed over recent years and now the product is marketed properly and fetches a higher price for farmers. Deer farming pulled in an estimated revenue last year of $266M last year. Of that, venison made up the bulk with $165M earned, while velvet brought in $59M and hides, leather and co-products such as bones and fat making up the remaining $42M. Proof that tax incentives aside, there is still money to be made in the deer industry.
The history of deer in New Zealand
Deer have been considered a pest since their introduction in 1861 when they were brought over from England and Scotland for recreational hunting, released mostly around the Southern Alps. As is often the way, the new arrivals took well to our country and quickly spread, becoming a nuisance, eating the foliage and destroying trees every year as they prepare for the roar. The first deer farming licence was issued in 1970, when deer were caught in the wild and transferred to farms for the well-established venison markets of Europe. Now there are almost 850,000 deer being farmed around the country, predominately in the South Island.

Curious and intelligent, deer farming has an element of psychology to it, according to the manager of Raroa Red Deer Stud, Bill Robinson.

The lowdown on velvet
Antler growth of 56 days is optimal for velvet, with the regrowth after initial harvesting fetching a higher price that the first growth. Bringing in $180 per kilo, that regrowth has to be removed from the stags at Christmas or the deer would use their antlers to attack each other. “You have to take them off or they would kill during the roar (the March/April mating season), or they would kill hinds or get tangled in netting,” Bill explained. If left unchecked, blood flow to the antlers will stop, triggering the deer’s urge to strip off the velvety skin on trees, exposing the points on the tips. The harvested sticks are refrigerated and sent down to Christchurch where they are graded and sold with velvet from other farms around the country, destined for the Asian A stick of velvet with a bulbous tip that the sharp spikes would emerge from if it was not cut. market.

Cleaning up our waterways
The Waikato Regional Council (WRC) has received funding of $126,500 over three years from the Waikato River Authority (WRA) to boost catchment management work in the Central Zone, which covers the area from the Karapiro Dam to Ngaruawahia. WRC Regional Councillor Stu Kneebone explains... Each year, the WRA makes funding available to projects that contribute to the vision and strategy that is held for the Waikato River. The Central Zone has been allocated $126,500 of funding over the next three years that will be combined with WRC funding
to provide financial assistance to landowners in both the Mangaonua and Karapiro catchments to undertake restoration works on land for soil conservation and water quality improvements. The Mangaonua stream catchment starts up in the Te Miro hills, travels down through Fencourt, and enters the Waikato river just before Hamilton. The Karapiro stream catchment effectively includes most of Whitehall, and finishes where the Karapiro stream enters the Waikato River in Cambridge, just below the low-level bridge. Many will have

seen the severely discoloured water coming out of the Karapiro and into the Waikato during storms. This is generally the result of a lot of very small erosion events happening throughout the catchment during high rainfall. They are often very hard to pinpoint, however they all add up and the end result is the sedimentladen plume of discoloured water that enters the Waikato River after prolonged high rainfall. Work in the Central Zone is guided by a zone plan that was developed by WRC and the Central Waikato Catchment committee, which has identified priority areas for work that would provide good value for money in terms of improvements. With the combination of WRC and WRA funding, landowners in these priority areas are able to obtain up to 70 per cent funding assistance for restoration projects, providing they meet the criteria. Projects range from hillside stablilisation through pole planting or full retirement from livestock into native trees, fencing and planting of riparian margins, and re-establishing wetlands. The pending requirements of the Healthy Rivers/Wai Ora plan change will require wateways to be protected from the likes of cattle and deer, and since that will be a legal requirement subsidies will not be available for this work. However where a landowner is willing to go beyond the legal
When it comes to outdoor shade solutions, it’s definitely not a case of one size fits all.
Bruce Edwards Upholstery offers expect advice on the best outdoor shade solution for your place, as well as a large selection of shade solutions to choose from. “I will visit your property and offer advice on the best solutions, whether that be my products or something that will work in tandem with my products,” says owner Bruce Edwards.

requirements, WRC is open to providing financial assistance. Work in the Central zone outside of the priority Mangaonua and Karapiro catchments has been underway for some time, and landowners are able to obtain a 30 per cent financial assistance rate for specific projects despite not being in a priority area. There has also been a resoration programme underway in the lower Karapiro stream area by the Ngāti Hauā Mahi Trust, which also continues to benefit from WRA funding. This project is ongoing, and part of the overall approach to improve water quality entering the Waikato River.

The company offers a wide range of shade sails, including custom-made and ready-made for those who prefer a DIY option. Awnings are another speciality of Bruce Edwards Upholstery, providing weatherproof protection for both residential and commercial patios, entrance ways and exposed areas. They can be manual or motorised and feature removable posts, a revel or face fix, reverse handle and a pull stick for hard-to-reach blinds. Shade sails are also a popular outdoor shade solution, including retractablewave shades that are ideal for people with Clearlite or open frame pergolas. “By adding a wave shade you can cut down the heat in these pergolas by about 15 percent,” says Bruce. “And in winter you can simply unclip them and put them away.’

Options include fixed frame and folding arm awnings which can either be operated by a gearbox with a handle, or automated with the press of a button. The company also offers a wide range of Shade 7 umbrellas, including cantilever, market and commercial umbrellas. “The Riviera cantilever is our most popular umbrella,” says Bruce. “Because there is no centre post you can direct the shade wherever you want it without the post getting in the way. It’s also strong and sturdy and can handle winds of up to 60kph.”

Waikato Kidz Kartz Riders take on Aussie By Candice Gollan
Cambridge horsewoman Jordyn Bublitz continued her family’s passion when she achieved a cup week double by taking out the Templeton Medical NZ Cup Prelude and the Westview/Catch Driver NZ Kidz Kartz Trotting Cup last week. Five members of the Waikato Kidz Kartz qualified for the event of the year: Jordyn Bublitz, 17, with Chaos, Kate Koppins, 14 with Caramello, Kendra Rogers, 12 with Shadow, Paige O’Brien, 12 with Monet and Mikayla Rogers, 10 with Tosca. Third-generation harness racing family Bublitz and her pony Chaos were the successful double duo this year after winning the NZ Cup prelude and then placing second in the NZ Kidz Kartz Trotting Cup last year. “I’m over the moon, we came here last year and managed to get second,” Jordyn said. This success comes after Jordyn won the Taranaki Kidz Karts 2017 Hawera Cup driving Chaos. “It’s just family blood, third generation. It’s pretty big, my whole family’s in it,” she said. “My Dad [Andrew Bublitz] trains and I’ve been around it since I was a baby,” Jordyn added. “I used to be around the stables getting under foot, trying to do my bit.” Jordyn has been a member of the Waikato Kidz Kartz for eight years, describing it as “sort of like a harness racing apprenticeship”. Kidz Kartz is a national programme that helps develop youth growth in harness racing and has been running since 2003. Children can take part in Kidz Kartz courses to learn skills around pony care and the safe driving practices of harness racing. All five qualifying girls were excited at the prospect to be heading down to Christchurch for the big race, especially as four of them had not attended before. All the girls can see themselves with carrying on with careers in harness racing after Kidz Kartz. “I would recommend it to people who want to go forward in the equine industry,” Jordyn said. “Even if it’s harness racing or riding because it just teaches you so much about how to work with them[horses].” Left to right – Mikayla Rogers, Paige O’Brien, Jordyn Bublitz, Kendra Rogers and Kate Koppins at For more information visit the ‘Waikato the Cambridge Raceway.

International
Local riders Jess Woods and Bundy Philpott competed in the Australian International 3 Day Event in Adelaide over the weekend, the Southern Hemisphere’s only 4* competition which was won last year by Matangi Olympian Clarke Johnstone and Balmoral Sensation. ESNZ high performance development coach Jock Paget said he was incredibly proud of all of the Kiwi riders who took part, with plenty to say about Jess Woods and Just de Manzana, owned by Simon Tainish. “She and the horse are a great combination and they’ll be exciting to watch in the future,” said Paget. Jess, a former St Peter’s student, was super proud of her horse. “Lexi tried hard today,”

she said on Sunday. “We had a wonderful day yesterday but she had a bump on her leg and was tired so it wasn’t our best showjumping but we will be back next year.” ESNZ high performance eventing manager Graeme Thom felt the Mike Etherington-Smith designed course had raised the bar on last year. “All of the riders, including those who walked home, were appreciative of the challenge and look forward to this trend continuing.” It was a challenging cross-country day for the Kiwis on Saturday. Cambridge rider Bundy Philpott, aboard her own horse Tresca, was eliminated along with Kiwi rider Emily Cammock on Shaw Lee. Philpott was undoubtedly riding the round of the day until she parted company with her horse three from home. “I am gutted,” she said. “Everything worked so so well but I got the third last fence wrong and paid a big price.” Both horse and rider were fine after their tumble. Bundy had been a real stand-out for coach Paget. “Mike (Etherington-Smith) was probably pretty happy watching her go round as she was riding it like he wanted. I am just gutted for her. She did all the tough stuff and made it look like a 1*. It was wicked to watch her ride. Not many people can ride like that.” Philpott has previously competed at 4* level but this was a debut run for her horse Tresca NZPH, who won the CCI3* at Puhinui in 2017 and was fourth in the CCI3* at the national three-day champs at Taupo this year.

New rabbit calicivirus confirmed in Cambridge Testing of two dead rabbits – one a pet – found in Cambridge and Mātangi has confirmed the presence of an already identified new calicivirus – RHDV2 – in the region, said Waikato Regional Council. RHDV2 is widespread in Europe but had not been found in New Zealand until this year. It has already been confirmed in Marlborough and the Bay of Plenty.
Come one, come all
…to the Celebrating Farming Families service at Trinity St Paul’s Union Church on the corner of Bryce and Queen Sts, Cambridge, on Sunday the 25th of November from 10am. It has been a busy start to the season with little time to stop and reflect. Let’s do that together. The guest speaker will be Ian Tarbotton. There will be fun activities for your children, time to offer thanks for all that you bring to our country through good times and times of struggle. Sometimes it can seem as if you stand alone with little appreciation from the rest of the community. So, let’s gather to offer thanks and praise for all you do. We would love you to join us.
RHDV2 affects European rabbits and at least two species of hares (Sardinian Cape hare and the Italian hare) and can cause mortality in young animals from 11 days onwards. “While RHDV2 is more virulent, it has a lower mortality rate and may create immunity to the K5 virus, released by regional councils under strict controls earlier this year, and the existing RHDV1 virus,” said Chris Monk, Waikato Regional Council’s biosecurity pest animals’ officer. “One of the two dead rabbits tested was a pet, so news of this new virus in the Waikato will be of concern to pet rabbit owners. We urge them to ensure their rabbits are up-to-date with vaccinations and don’t have contact with wild rabbits,” Chris said. At the same time, landowners are being encouraged to continue with their rabbit control operations. “We have a large amount of information on our website on ways to discourage wild rabbits and control them, and our staff are available to answer questions too. Visit waikatoregion.govt. nz/rabbits or call 0800 800 401.”
Advice for rabbit owners There are a number of practical steps rabbit owners can take to minimise the calicivirus risk to their rabbits. • Keep them separate from wild rabbits. • Wash hands between handling rabbits. • Control insects around pet rabbits as they can spread the virus between rabbits. • Avoid cutting grass and feeding it to pet rabbits. • Thoroughly clean and disinfect cages and equipment. Vaccines for the viruses have been imported into New Zealand and are available through veterinarians for pet rabbits. For further information, talk with your vet or visit MPI’s website.
