Hello everyone,

My partner and I have just bought 100 acres in the Darling Downs region of QLD. We plan to have beef cattle and to start with we will buy weaners then fatten them up and sell them. Down the track we may look into breeding.

Hi All,

Firstly i would like to say i am glad i stumbled across this site, champion idea to be able to commute and discuss with fellow small farmers and experts. Thankyou

I have just bought my first property with my Fiancee down in the lovely South East Tassie. 11 acres of Great Soil, Awesome yearly rainfall, and perfect living condition in which i would like to eventually expand and buy neighbouring property in later years to produce more livestock.

Hi 

We have just bought a property and  was wondering the best way to get rid of a large bullant nest which also is safe for our cows?

Hi, I too have a major barley grass in pasture, problem but no funds to combat it by reseeding, fertiliser & soil analysis as we're now on the pension.

3 yrs ago we had an early 'break', good growth, sprayed with Glycosphate, great kill followed by more rain/warmth & regrowth. The seeder arrived, I asked him about all the greenery (b. grass of course!) but he said no need to respray, it'd be fine. We only have 12 acs, sowed 8 of them & you can guess the rest of the story. We now have about 80% of the damned stuff so, as you can imagine, the land is rather unproductive.

Hi all, what is the most effective and fastest way to get a fox. l have a cleared property with ajoining property of covered trees and scrub. this fox spots me long before l spot her. l have lost my chickens to her and l want to get some more, so some good smart advice would be welcomed. oh also we live to close to town to use a rifle.

Regards, Sandy
