Does anyone have this product? Anyone heard anything about them?

I saw an ad on google and did some research. The owner Ian created the product and runs the company himself. He also owns his own farm so I am inclined to believe the product works. My local store doesnt stock it but they think it would be a good idea to try. Seen the video online of how it work sand look great.

 With summer fast approaching, now is the time to start thinking about summer drenching of cattle as part of your strategic roundworm control program. In  south-eastern Australia, Ostertagia ostertagi (small brown stomach worm) is the major cause of production losses from worm infections in cattle.

Type of cattle that do well at Crookwell?

Im on 200ac at Crookwell, hoping to buy Murray Greys.   Will buy (or drop) in spring and sell in late Autum after 20 days on sillage or fodder. BUT not sure of what to do for the rest of this season. Pasture improved, water all good, feed up to your knees, good shade

Comments Please

With a new hay season around the corner it’s time to clean out the hay shed and remove spoiled or stale hay in readiness for the new supply. Even with well-kept hay there will always be a certain amount of wastage; there may be anything from a pile of sweepings to several bales that might have been affected by damp and are suitable for cattle to eat, but not horses.

While burning gets rid of this quickly, a hay bonfire is money going up in smoke while adding carbon to the atmosphere, and a valuable resource is being wasted.

There are many ways to recycle and re-use old hay. First and foremost, it is a key compost ingredient and a marvelous mulching material.

Spreading biscuits of old hay around the base of trees, several centimentres away from the trunk, as summer mulch, will reduce the amount of water the tree needs. Water-in the hay once it has been placed.

ABN number for small farm

G'day farm expert

I am in the proses of buying a small farm in northern NSW and am wondering if it will be beneficial to get an ABN number for farm purchases etc? I currently work and will most likely keep working but would like to earn a supplementary income from the farm. Could you please give me a short answer before I spend money seeing an accountant.

Kubota or JD small tractor???

Hi all,
I am interested to know what brand is best suited for NZ and AU conditions in the small tractor market between John Deere's 1E - 5E Series against Kubota's M - L Series?
Any thoughts of why one is better than the other for a ten acre property?
Thanks in advance,
MJ

Napier PTO Post hole digger

Hi. I have a heavy duty Napier brand pto tractor post hole digger on my old david brown 900 tractor. I purchased a new carbide tipped auger as the old fitted auger had welded steel wear pads and not effective in basalt type rocky soil. I have just found out the Napier is the only digger with anticlockwise drive auger!!!!!

Can the drive gearing be altered. what choices do i have?

Hi Farmstyle experts,

I was hoping for a few suggestions and a point in the right direction. I am considering purchasing a property in Strathalbyn, South Australia.
