Hi, I am on 20 acres and have a 12 mnth cow, 12 mnth steer and 2 goats as pets and have been asked if i would like to have a 2 yr old dorper as my friend no longer wants her. Apparently she was with a ram and had a lamb but the ram killed the baby so the friend got rid of the ram and now has decided to get rid of this sheep as well (not sure how long ago all this happened).

Hi, I'm Maria. I've been living in Tasmania for the last 18 years. My husband, Gregorio and I will be "going home" to a family property in the Southern Highlands of NSW in January 2015.

The property is about 100 acres and is mostly cleared. I don't believe much has been done on the farm in the past so it's a bit of a blank canvas.

My father has planted about 200 young olive trees so they are a few years away from giving a cash crop. He also runs a few cows on the property.

Dear Expert:

Looking at buying a Rivport 50 Ton Logsplitter.

Lifan Motor 5.5" Ram, 15 sec cycle time, hydro lifting table,

Question is, has anybody out there used one, or know some who has?

Hi

I have a house paddock with 5 acres, which was formerly used for cattle grazing (so its a bit uneven) and its gently sloping.

For the last couple of years I have used a Signature 23 HP ride on mower, which is okay but it takes 4 to 5 hours and is becoming a chore.

I am planning to buy a tractor for other jobs around the farm (110 acres - moving bales, trees and earthworks).

As a person who was raised on the land my partner and I are looking at returning to it after a long while away.

Hi, I am investigating small scale essential oil production and am trying to find some more information on small to medium steam distillers. I found the article on starting a lavender farm helpful, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a website or place of someone that sells good stills. Either new or second hand. Thanks very much
