-MEDIA RELEASE-

NZ FARMERS LIVESTOCK THRIVE WITH NEW ONLINE TECHNOLOGIES

NZ Farmers Livestock continues to succeed in the livestock industry, pushing the boundaries of
the digital space.

The company performance supported recently released promising half year Allied Farmers
Limited results, and NZ Farmers Livestock remains committed to helping improve the way farmers
do business. With that focus, the group has achieved good performances over several years and is
well placed for future growth.

In line with that commitment the company has developed and released some new technology. A
new MyLiveStock app has been designed to customise and enhance livestock trading online. The
company is also offering livestreaming of sales directly via their website.
The new app provides users with direct links to market reports and personalised searching.
Farmers can promote stock to a nationwide database, as well as buy and sell stock directly from
the paddock.

Its live streaming is currently running from their Stratford and Rongotea sale yards. The concept
originated out of a client request and has proven well received. Livestreaming provides clients
with the ability to keep on top of the livestock game right from wherever it suits them best. NZFL
have overcome technical challenges to bring the livestreaming from saleyards as a first of its kind
in the New Zealand livestock space.

NZ Farmers Livestock General Manager Bill Sweeney says the livestock industry is embracing the
ability to interact online more and more “Our clients are hard-pressed time-poor farmers, the
more tools we can provide them, the better. Our users are becoming actively engaged with
online technologies and have an expectation of direct access to quality content, meaning they can
trade with confidence and make good livestock decisions in a busy market.”

There is a slight time lag with the livestreaming, so users are encouraged to view the
livestreaming while engaging with a livestock agent to give them instructions to act on their
behalf at the sale. The streams are live every Wednesday, and will soon cover other saleyards.
NZ Farmers Livestock is a 100% NZ owned and operated livestock company, and pride themselves
on working with farmers, for farmers, having operated in the rural services sector for more than
100 years.

NZ Farmers Livestock brings extensive experience gained through trusted and long-established
relationships with the rural community and has continued to grow throughout the country with
over 60 livestock agents. Recent growth has resulted in teams in the Hawke’s Bay, King Country,
Manawatu, Northland, South Island, Taranaki and Waikato regions.
