Is 180 acres sustainable??

Hi all,

I am a 45Yo looking to purchase land to retire to as a 15 year goal. I am currently interested in 180 acres in the Oberon NSW area.

 

My goal is to purchase the land now which is a "blank canvas" of fenced and dammed paddocks. Over time I will need to improve with yards, shed and eventually a house.I am quite prepared to spend every weekend at the farm (currently live in Sydney). we have friends in the area that we visit regularly, and love the lifestyle and climate of the area.

PIC numbers

Hi All, my fiancee and I are purchasing a 14acre property in Adelaide Hills at the end of the month. I have done some research prior to moving and understand that you need a PIC number if you want livestock on your property. I have asked the current owner and he advised that the property already has one. Any advice on what to do next in regards to transferring/obtaining a new PIC would be greatly appreciated, as well as what I need to do when we want to obtain some livestock.

Cheers

Shaun

Advice on paddock agreement

Hello Yesterday our offer for our new farm was accepted and arenin the process of exchanging ontracts. The property is 40ac and divided into a 10ac paddock and a 30ac paddock. The 30ac paddock has a neighbours cows grazing on it under a personal agreement for him to do so. When we inspected the property we couldn't access the paddock because it was locked. I asked the real estate agent why I couldn't access the 30ac paddock and he said a neighbour keeps cows. My issue is: I'd like access to this paddock once the settlement goes through.

Running a farm can present a wide range of challenges that require innovative solutions. Electricity supply is one of those variables that is often not reliable and loss of power can result in a loss of productivity and profit as well as greater complications for facilities requiring constant heat or cooling systems or mechanical ventilation.

New to raising chickens, looking for help/advice.

Hiya,

 

I would like to raise my own chickens and need advice on the best  breeds for eggs, which breeds I can keep together as I would like a mix rather than just a single type (they will be pets as well as egg layers). Basically advice on everything that's related to raising chickens for eggs in a free range environment.

 

Here are some specific questions.
