Blair Davies has spent 50 years in the wool industry…and still learning everyday

Q: Can you explain to us, like, what does a week in your life look like or a day in your life?
A typical week involves looking after growers, adding value to their business, reviewing test results, and ensuring wool from bales is contracted or auction-ready, with on-farm visits and show-floor checks as key activities.

Q: Blair, are you just able to tell me your, yeah, your name and also your role at New Zealand Merino?
Blair confirms his role as Assistant Commercial Manager and explains that he also looks after key growers in the Mulberry and North Canterbury area.
Tom & Mick: Trading Livestock, Grazing Systems and the Long Game with Nigel Kerin
Q: Can you walk us through the lamb trade that helped you rebound post-drought?
When JBS released a contract for lamb at a high price, Nigel and his team moved quickly to lock in thousands of lambs through contracts, then bought additional stock to meet forward commitments, a move that helped them recover financially when the market later softened.
Tom & Mick: Trading Livestock, Grazing Systems and the Long Game with Nigel Kerin
Q: Should every livestock business have a trading arm?
Absolutely not; trading is not suitable for everyone because successful traders need guardrails, systems, and a deep understanding of grass budgets and forward pricing; many agents struggle with integrating grass knowledge into trading decisions.
