Peter Boys joins us after a dog he trained sold for $10,000 at the 63rd annual Ashburton Sheep and Cattle Dog Sale. Newshub Rural Editor joins us to look at the top rural stories of the week, plus she talks with Chris Mason from the Whangarei A&P Society, and Kristy McGregor from The Rural Innovation Lab. We catch up with Queenslander Ben Dobbin after NSW won State Of Origin, and our Character of the Country today is Mandy Bell from Criffel Station in Wanaka.
