Where to start..

Gday All, I'm currently living on 1/2 acre block in Emerald Victoria. I hope to be buying acreage over the next few years with the view to farming possibly cattle, chickens but not sure as yet. I was hoping I could get some advise as where to start. I would love to get some time on a working farm. Would this be beneficial? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Terry

Hi Terry and Rach,

Welcome to the hobby farming forum and thanks for the question.

Personally I would read as much as you can to get some good theoretical information ont he particular topics that you are interested in, we have a good range of books for sale in our farming bookshop which you may find helpful

Secondly, getting some practical experience will be critical. Offering your time to a local farmer will be the best way to get some hands on experience and capture some local knowledge.

Regards,
Charlie

The New Kid on the Block... Hi, I've decided that I'd like to start farming beef cattle in Central Victoria (Euroa/Strathboggie area) in the next six months. I'm thinking of purchasing 100 Acres and running 30-40 head of cattle. Whilst I grew up on a farm as a child that was a long time ago and so I have alot to learn. I've been doing some reading but am open to ideas and thoughts around where I'm thinking of buying, what sort of cattle should I run, What should I watch out for with land in that area? I look forward to some feedback.
