Hello can anyone give advice. I have a cow that seems to be out of breath alot and sometimes coughs. I have now noticed

that my other cow seems to be doing the same thing. When it first started I thought it was because they were out of breath running up the hill to get their molassess each afterroon but I'm wondering if its something else. We have had alot of rain over the past 10wks... can being wet all the time make them sick?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I am having a hard time getting rid of saplings. Can anyone recommend poisons to use and or techniques. I have used grazon and it doesnt seem to be doing much to the hardier trees, before I up the dose on it, I wanted to see if there were any other tricks? Also probably a silly question but what kind of dye can I use in it mark the saplings I have already done? Thank you for any advice you can give me :)

Hi Charlie and Robb,

My turn to ask a question. My friend has red volcanic soil which is sown to Bisset Creeping Blue grass. She asked me today why there are patches of the pasture where the leaves of the grass are turning red. I told her that it might be due to a lack of phophorous and perhaps sulphur and she may need to fertilise with single super. I have also recomended that she have a soil test done. As I am no expert on pasture, I thought I would ask the experts.

Thanks in advance,

Barb

Hi all,

I am new to farming and have a 100 acre property in the goulburn region of nsw. The farm has established  infrastructure such as fencing, crush and dams so we were looking to buy some cattle for the property. In this regard i am clueless as to how to buy cattle effectivley in terms of conditioning, gerneral health, price and composition of the herd. I have a Pic and am aware of the regulations i just need help to determine the best course.

Thanks so much, any info is much appreciated.

Hello, I am brand new to farming and have purchased 3 Murray grey heifers. We have heaps of ticks and buffalo fly. After trying to read up on what to use I went with Bayer Bomectin pour on. It work well for the first 3 weeks but now the cattle are covered in ticks and flys again. I dont know what to do now .... what can i use . We dont have any dipping equipment and went for a pour on because of this reason. We are on 5 acres and only have the 3 cows. Any help  and advise would be greatly appreciated please.

thank you Sally

G'day!

We live just outside of Cavendish, Victoria, Australia.  We have 45 acres.  We bought it as the insurance result of a 4WD hitting my husband when he was on his motorbike. This happened in a 90km/hr. zone. My husband was not at fault but nearly died.  He is now 58, the accident having happened in 2006.

We bought the place because it is relatively isolated and he suffers from PTSD.  He has a bit of a farming history, having been brought up on a milking farm, although he has worked in differing occupations.
