Dear Clients
I apologise for the frequency that I reference the weather in our Chemvet Newsletter, however we all know that weather and particularly rainfall is the single most important factor in our lives as farmers and graziers.
It is with trepidation that I put this one up. It is the official BOM rainfall prediction for the spring period August to October. Spring rainfall is so important to South East and South West Australia in setting up the season and prolonging pasture or crop growth through into the summer.
The prediction shows that virtually every region has less than 35% chance of receiving normal spring rainfall. Fortunately, some early winter rains in most areas have set up a reasonable base to work from, however several regions such as the northeast of NSW have also continued to struggle through this period.
Both Lamb and Mutton prices continue to set new records and recent rises in the grid and a widening of the steer and cow prices indicate an increasing shortage of slaughter cattle and strong prices for the foreseeable future, although lighter store cattle will struggle until hopefully good summer rains which could mean astronomical prices for all classes of cattle.
Some good news for our sheep producers; Chemvet has added a Click™ like product to our sheep range (see over) which will cut the cost of fly control.
Cheers, Murray and the Team at Chemvet
Vetmec Cattle Injection stands up against competitors
Over the years it has been brought to Chemvet’s attention on numerous occasions that Producers have been sponsored to trial a competitors product against Vetmec Cattle injection. In every instance where producers have reported this to us, Vetmec Cattle injection has performed as well or outperformed the competitor product especially with regards to worm control in young cattle.
Vetmec Antiparisitic Cattle Injection is a non-sting, Abamectin based antiparasitic injection effective against a broad range of internal and external parasites including gastro-intestinal roundworms, lungworms and sucking lice. It also aids in the control of cattle tick & buffalo fly.

Cattle LiceLice were really prevalent on a lot of properties last spring. Remember Vetmec pour-on is an effective lousicide as well as an effective worm drench for your cattle. With the cost of Lice specific products these days it means that you get the worm drench virtually for free! Important note: when treating your cattle for lice it is important that all cattle on the property, or all cattle that will come in contact with the mob you want to treat and protect, must be treated at the same time or over the shortest time possible (including bulls and calves). |

Note from Accounts
Virtually 80% of clients now pay by EFT directly into Chemvet’s bank account. This is great and we really appreciate the efficiencies that this creates at our end. However, on the odd occasion, we are still receiving payments without a reference. If you could please put a name or invoice no. as a reference it really helps on our end in allocating the payment. Thanks heaps!

Diana – celebrating 12 Years at ChemvetStarting way back in July 2007, Diana recently celebrated her 12 year anniversary with Chemvet. For many she has been the voice behind the phone for all this time and has really enjoyed the friendly contact with clients from all over Australia, many of whom have been familiar voices for all this time. |
Autumn Drop TwinsOn April 10th Murray and Ruth’s youngest son Ian and daughter-in-law Kate welcomed the safe arrival of Freddy and Cliff. Murray and Ruth now have 6 grandchildren (4 girls and 2 boys). The boys are doing well and already each have their own ‘personalities’. In Rugby parlance, Murray reckons Cliff is front row material and Freddy is destined for the backline. |

Ronnie Palmer – blast from the past!Recently a ‘fit and tanned’ Ron called into the office. No doubt to check up on things and to see that we have carried on where he left off. He was most impressed with the improvements to the warehouse made to accommodate the extra products brought online since he retired. Ron is off again on another road trip – this time up through the centre to Darwin and back down through Cloncurry Longreach. |
Melbourne Uni Meat Judging TeamChemvet continues as a major sponsor for the Melbourne University Meat Judging Team, helping the team to attend major events and competitions throughout the year. Over the last 4 months the team has been busy training for the Intercollegiate Meat Judging Competition held in Wagga Wagga. This has meant weekly training sessions, hours spent in very cold abattoirs and a lot of commitment from both students and coaches. The competition was held from the 9th-12th of July this year, where 8 students 2 coaches were given an opportunity to network with some of the most influential people in the red meat industry. While they didn’t come out victorious this year, it’s been a fantastic experience for all involved. |

GeoffAs foreshadowed in our Autumn newsletter Geoff recently spent 6 weeks in central and far north Queensland visiting Chemvet clients. He really enjoyed catching up with everyone and here he is explaining to Murray he didn’t leave an inch uncovered. And drove down a lot of long straight roads! |
