In this episode of 'Digging Deeper,' hosts Alan and Morgan Davies discuss the latest trends in livestock sales, market conditions, and local footy updates. Barry Newman, a client from East Gippsland, is mentioned as a keen follower of the podcast. The discussion covers a variety of topics including the performance of Barry Newman's cattle, the optimal conditions for NSAID and Romeo regions, and how dry conditions are affecting various areas, including the need for feeding cattle earlier due to anticipated cold winters.

The episode also includes a special segment with Ken and Trevor Kaus, who discuss their experiences with property management, pasture development, and trials at Gippsland Ag.
