Hi all,

I have a hydraulic tensioner on my small NH sqaure baler. The two rods that hold the hydraulic ram that pushes the tension plate onto the bale has a bolt on either side. Currently the nuts are right up the top. Do these need to go down a bit to have tighter bales or will the ram when adjusted using the pump wheel be enough? Hope this makes sense! If not I'll post a photo.

Dear Farmstyle folk

I am wondering how to weigh my small mob of sheep, particularly the lambs. Can anyone recommend good cheap weighing equipment?

I looked at scales available in fishing tackle shops but they only weigh up to 30 kg or so.

cheers

Hello I am finally about to settle on my purchased property and went and completed a final inspection today. The previous owner has kindly left me some lambs who managed to evade the final round up before settlement. However on a walk today I have noted some areas of the fence mesh have been pushed up where wildlife seem to pass through. We had no intention of keeping livestock but am happy I have been left a few sheep and now I want to add to the flock and get my PIC so he can transfer them to me.

We've purchased 35 acres 3 months ago near ballarat. We have no farming experience but ooze tonnes of enthusiasm.  So i'm asking for a little help to get us started. 

Our plan is to have cows, goats, horses (have two minis already) and sowing "Red Hill" with something. 

What is the best and easiest product to use on Boer Goats for Lice. We currently have 70 goats.

Hi,
I have about 10 acres in Neerim south, near Warragul in Victoria. The soil is uneven in its nutrient content, and I havent had any animals nor was it sprayed with any chemicals for years.
