Hi everyone,

Love the farming forum. Could someone please help us with a way stop poddy calves sucking each other - we don't wont to put a devise in the nose. Is there anything else we can do to dter them from doing it?

Hi Rob,

I had a look at some photos of Square Meaters on the web and they look a lot like my Murray Grey's but they are shorter and the body weight given is lighter. Are they related to Murray Greys or Angus? Just curious to know.

cheers,

Barb

Hi All

My partner and I are seriously looking into starting a small beef (Miniature) producing farm, in the southern highlands NSW (approx. 200 acres). We have narrowed the breed down to two, Lowline (Angus) or Sqaure Meaters.

Having researched both breeds online extensively, we would appreciate impartial advice on which breed may work, and be most profitable for us.

Many thanks

Brett and Rachel

Gday all 

great website hoping to get some good ideas from you all

I was brought up farming until the age of approx 14 then i decided to move to town and enjoy some town life for a while.

now living back out of town on 37acres and looking for some ideas on what to do with it, approx 20 acres of it can be farmed and im looking for some profitable ideas to be self sufficient as well as make a bit of profit from it.

Gday all

I'm trying to get a general feel for what sort of hobby farm my partner and I would need to plan and save for to realize a tree change dream. The ideal would be to be partially or even (dreaming big!) mostly self-sufficient on a small farm when we have a young family in the future. My partner works in an industry that suits running your own business from home online if we go rural, while we already plan for me to stay home with the kids regardless of whether we're rural or city based and I'd rather be being productive with my time producing our own food if I have the choice.
