I’m reading Doug Avery’s book ‘The Resilient farmer’ (Which is a fantastic read by the way) and it has got me thinking about Lucerne. My place is dry right now as I’m sure the whole country is! My farm in general is fairly sandy, a few fields in particular are very sandy which is normally great...
If I put a luing bull onto sim cows, will the progeny be the same as sim bull on luing cows?
I've got some decent sim cows and a couple sim luing cows, I'm looking to keep the heifer calves off the sim luings as replacements and over time would like a greater proportion of luing type cows as...
Does anyone have a contract farming agreement template they could share? I've searched through the threads but haven't been able to find one yet. Going to contract farm out some of my stubble to a neighbour for him to crop. A portion of it will be undersown so he will take the barley and I'll...
I have recently taken on a sldt, and have been given the list of fencing valuations. They are nothing short of ridiculous, more than the new price of the materials, the worst thing is most of the fencing is over 20 years old! Is there anything I can do?! They were valued by two different...
Just wanted to check if it would be legal for someone I know to sell me their left over closamectin which is in date? They've sold all their cows and there's a good 5L left I think? I'm pretty sure it's illegal isn't it as they would need a license to sell medicine am I right?
Just wondered what the best option for computer program was? I've used Cattle Manager for the last year but it's not perfect! Is it the best available?
Hi just wondered if there was anyone that had a good working blue Heeler dog that might be of use when the time comes to breed with my bitch. She's quite a while off being ready but thought I might put a few feelers out as they are obviously quite difficult to find!!
Does anyone use more than one bull in at once with a group of cows I.e. 1 bull in with 25 or 2 in a bigger group of 50? Seen it done in NZ but with smaller fitter yearling Bulls, not sure if it would work with two mature Simmental and limousin Bulls that have never really met before?! It would...
Why? Am I the only one that doesn't see this as positive?!?? Since when was this a thing? Really makes me wonder if people have their heads screwed on or even if they have one at all. What a progressive beef industry we have. If I have to calve anything or if there's a big calf I'm thinking...
I am starting out in farming in my own right on rented land and the person I am renting land from has kindly offered to hire me his JCB 535-95 for me to use when feeding cattle. I currently work for him but I'm being made redundant at the end of next month but we have agreed for me to rent land...
Good Evening folks, just after a wee bit of advice, I'm in the process of putting together a business plan as I am setting up a new business in the coming months I hope. Without going into too much detail, I have land lined up to take on a seasonal basis for 3 years along with sheds, and early...
