Anyone looking for any fodder beet? Got 150 tons spare, lifted 2 weeks ago. £25/ton loaded PE38

Had this rig for a couple of years

Looking at news, not looking good. Closed Auckland airport, flying back Tuesday. Maybe I've got to stay longer😎

On way back South atm. Been traveling the whole of the Southland. Lots of miles but we'll worth it

I feel your pain! The cost is extortionate!! I always wonder how many more lambs you would loose if no vaccination was given? I'm sure some years you would get away with it, I worry about the years you wouldn't

The vaccines are approx 80% effective. Not great when the conditions are perfect for pasteurella. I've lost big numbers before using ovivac p+. I'm just greatful they were vaccinated and losses were minimalised as much as possible

Totally agree, but the p+ part is a big problem on some farms

Surely the problem this year is the store lambs producers not vaccinating lambs. Neighbour tried brovaxin 10, double dosed, to keep costs down. After a lot of losses through pasteurella he double dosed with ovivac p+ as well

Thanks for all the replies, think we will plan a week in the South and see how things go

Would love to stay longer in nz but can't leave farm for longer atm😕

We are looking for amazing views, away from general public, shearing competitions, etc. Eldest son loving it over there, wouldn't be surprised if he stays. If he does, we are tempted to follow.

Our eldest son is currently on his sandwich year from Reaseheath college. As he has always wanted to do, he's currently working on a large sheep station in the far South. The wife, me and youngest son have just bought tickets for a 17 day whirlwind tour at the end of January 2023. I know many of...

Peas not growing, just lay on floor in pods.

Might send a few to try, got to be careful, next to an A road;

Being in the desert of East Anglia with a lot of store lambs left to finish I find myself thinking outside the box. I've had mobs on stockfeed potatoes, hay and mollasses, waiting for anything to grow Anyhow, I've been offered a large area of failed vining peas which is so flat that they...

Depends on breeds. If you've got Suffolk's they'll be fine with buckwheat, they were bred to stop photosensitation. If you have white-faced sheep, different story

Used it for last 4 years on our flock of 6500 sheep, can't knock it. It's good stuff. We have run hundreds of sheep through the foot bath with scald, sorted in one dose
