The Country: Today our West Coast cow cocky is cock-a-hoop about Westland Milk Products $6-40 to $6-80 forecast payout for the 2017-18 season.

The Country's favourite West Coast cow cocky is very happy with the latest news from Westland Milk Products which is a $6-40 to $6-80 forecast payout for the 2017-18 season.

Gypsy Day is upon the West Coast and the weather is looking good for the big move. The title "Gypsy Day" has come under a little fire recently for not being politically correct. Thompson refuses to use the alternative term "Mooving Day" saying "It's Gypsy Day, it always has been and it always will be".

Other topics in today's interview are Andy Thompson's lack of rugby commentary prowess, Sir Colin Meads' statue and the appalling fact that Jamie Mackay has never been to Westport.

Have a listen to the full interview in the audio clip above.
