Australia Free Trade Deal?

[Hilly]

Yep Barren cows at market couldn't get a bid for the not so good ones so the auctioneer knocked so many down to each buyer for a fiver and told them they had to take them or they weren't getting the rest

I remember folk selling Swale sheep and getting a invoice not a cheque .

Wife's cousin (NZ) used to shoot ewes having difficulty lambing, then when times got tougher he carried a sharp knife to save the cost of a bullet - Nowadays his son just lets them die.

That approach doesn't really square with "Kate Humble and Springtime Lambing Live" does it ?

I carry a bolt gun and a sharp knife on the quad when I'm lambing. If you keep livestock you should be prepared for the occasion when euthanasia is required.

I'm certainly not calling the vet to C-section a bloody sheep!

I also ear notch anything which requires assistance, so her and her lambs can go fat as soon as possible. Trying to breed the work out of them.

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Tagging calves at birth costs lots of money and lots of lives
Passports have cost some farmers their entire herd

All ours are tagged at birth. NO cattle can leave a property without a nlis tag. Even a dead one to the knackery must be tagged.

How do they tag range cattle at birth?

I got a four deck artic load, about 400 on board for no charge.
Claimed them all for sheep sub at £11/ head
Sold them fat for about £15-£20

Similar to the days of taking a couple of Hereford X calves to Holmfirth market and when you picked the trailer out of the carpark to go home it had 6 jersey crosses in...
