Bit of a sharp rebound on prices in Oz, where alot of lamb is consumed within Australia. Supermarkets been caught out on their margins......(never happens here!!)

In the meantime, Aussie processing numbers are down with a bit of rain, but might make it challenging for exporters to compete with the domestic market. So from a kiwi perspective, might potentially be a little less Aussie lamb in export markets, as NZ production starts to head towards peak seasonal volumes.

End of an era with Rob standing down, but presumably carries on as co-chair of SFF Ltd. Interesting Anna Nelson only been on the SFF Coop board since May last year!

Media Release
Silver Fern Farms Co-operative has today announced that nominations are open for two vacancies on the Board and has also confirmed that Anna Nelson will become the new Chair following the Co-operative’s Annual Meeting on 8 May.
Current Farmer-Elected Directors Rob Hewett and Gabrielle Thompson will retire by rotation at the Annual Meeting.
With Rob Hewett’s term as a Farmer-Elected Director coming to an end, the Co-operative Board has unanimously voted to appoint current Director Anna Nelson to be the new Chair, with Rob Hewett unanimously voted to stay on as an Appointed Director for a term of up to 12 months.
Retiring Director Gabrielle Thompson has advised she will be standing for re-election as a Farmer Elected Director.
Current Silver Fern Farms Co-operative Chair Rob Hewett says the changes are designed to create continuity as there is both a change of leadership at a governance level and the Operating Company will have a new Chief Executive.
“With the end of my term on the Board in May coinciding with Silver Fern Farms Ltd recently appointing Dan Boulton as new Chief Executive, the Board has determined that I stay on as an Appointed Director for a short period to help through the transition,” says Mr Hewett.
“While the new Chair and Chief Executive will each bring fresh perspectives and focus, ultimately, the Board is united behind Silver Fern Farm’s strategy and direction of travel and it’s important we keep momentum until the new changes are embedded.
“From our experience working with her around the Board table, the Board and I have a great deal of confidence that Anna will be an exceptional Chair. Despite the prevailing market conditions we’re experiencing, we’re going into the next period in good health and with a clear focus,” he says.
Incoming Chair Anna Nelson says she is looking forward to leading a unified Board and working closely with shareholders and suppliers through the current challenges in market.
“As a farmer as well a Director, I’m acutely aware of how market conditions are being felt right across our supply chain. This gives our Board a clear focus and resolve to continue creating value for the farmers the world needs," she says.

Don't think there are any director/mgmt disclosures on the USX? In the Annual Reports but otherwise nothing.....

Nice buying opportunity. This (past) year is a completely different kettle of fish, but on last AR, PE of 1.1 and a gross dividend yield on 30.38%.

The joys of illiquid shares……

Last sale through at $0.95. Someone wanted out in a hurry? No buyers?

Or maybe someone was expecting an Alliance-esque result coming up.

This year a much different year, but a trailing PE of circa 1!!
