Lavender oil distillation equipment

Hey guys,

I just wanted to ask about Lavender essential distillation equipment.

Normally, where can I purchase those equipments ? Does equipment matter when it comes to oil quality and standards?

Thanks a lot! :D

Keeping a bull – pros and cons

If you only have a few dairy or beef cows on your farm, it is possible to keep your cows in calf using artificial insemination (AI) and not own a bull at all. A bull can be extra work and an extra mouth to feed, but there are some advantages to keeping a bull, even on a small farm.

Any experiences with "tow behind" mower?

Hello, I hope Easter was as beautiful for other folks as it was on our little farm at Elands, NSW. I'm prevailing on the knowledge of fellow small holders for information about solutions for mowing and slashing. I want to mow about an acre on the house yard and keep it nice and tidy. The grass grows at an astonishing rate in Elands.

Dehorning

Would like to dehorn. I have 2 dexters to dehorn. Both are mature animals, one bull and one cow. I was researching the process and found the band dehorning process seemed quite good. I refer to the "Callicrate Bander Kit" used for both castration and dehorning.

WherZat Farm

We moved here 13 years ago. Used the property for horses and general farming. Would like to be more productive on our relatively small 8 acres. We have plenty of water and the soil is quite good. Over the years we have provided beef for the freezer, vegies for the table and planting a lot of fruit trees and native plants. The kids have enjoyed their horses and still do. I have 3 dexters, one bull and 2 cows. I am a member of the DACI and would like to bread the dexters. They are pure bread.

Square Meaters cattle

Hi Rob,

I had a look at some photos of Square Meaters on the web and they look a lot like my Murray Grey's but they are shorter and the body weight given is lighter. Are they related to Murray Greys or Angus? Just curious to know.

cheers,

Barb

Lowline vs. Square Meaters

Hi All

My partner and I are seriously looking into starting a small beef (Miniature) producing farm, in the southern highlands NSW (approx. 200 acres). We have narrowed the breed down to two, Lowline (Angus) or Sqaure Meaters.

Having researched both breeds online extensively, we would appreciate impartial advice on which breed may work, and be most profitable for us.

Many thanks

Brett and Rachel
