PIC numbers

Hi All, my fiancee and I are purchasing a 14acre property in Adelaide Hills at the end of the month. I have done some research prior to moving and understand that you need a PIC number if you want livestock on your property. I have asked the current owner and he advised that the property already has one. Any advice on what to do next in regards to transferring/obtaining a new PIC would be greatly appreciated, as well as what I need to do when we want to obtain some livestock.

Cheers

Shaun

Advice on paddock agreement

Hello Yesterday our offer for our new farm was accepted and arenin the process of exchanging ontracts. The property is 40ac and divided into a 10ac paddock and a 30ac paddock. The 30ac paddock has a neighbours cows grazing on it under a personal agreement for him to do so. When we inspected the property we couldn't access the paddock because it was locked. I asked the real estate agent why I couldn't access the 30ac paddock and he said a neighbour keeps cows. My issue is: I'd like access to this paddock once the settlement goes through.

Running a farm can present a wide range of challenges that require innovative solutions. Electricity supply is one of those variables that is often not reliable and loss of power can result in a loss of productivity and profit as well as greater complications for facilities requiring constant heat or cooling systems or mechanical ventilation.

New to raising chickens, looking for help/advice.

Hiya,

 

I would like to raise my own chickens and need advice on the best  breeds for eggs, which breeds I can keep together as I would like a mix rather than just a single type (they will be pets as well as egg layers). Basically advice on everything that's related to raising chickens for eggs in a free range environment.

 

Here are some specific questions.

Our dam has gone cloudy and smells like sulphur

Hi. Our dam has gone cloudy and smells like sulphur. We have only been at the property for 6 months so I'm unsure as to whether it is a seasonal thing or not. The dam is 40m x 30m and 7m deep. Is it something I should be worried about? Thanks for any heap
