The Country: Our Australian correspondent Chris Russell talks drones, making money out of bobby calves, Japanese buying Australian fine wool and Billy Slater missing out on State of Origin #1.
Nature had a go at technology recently when a Wedge-tailed eagle decided to attack and badly damage a drone flying over farm machinery in Western Australia.
The Country's Australian correspondent Chris Russell talked to Jamie Mackay today about the incident which was captured in a photo by quick-thinking farmer LeighNairn before the drone was destroyed.

Next up in the interview Chris talks about Australian dairy farmers who are holding onto bobby calves as there is a bit of money in keeping them. In fact they've gone from $50 at a week old to $500 at 12 weeks.
Finally ChrisRussell updates Jamie on high prices for Australian fine wool high not deterring the Japanese market, and a bit of State of Origin.
