No website for saleyards?

I can't seem to find a website that has a list of saleyards, where they are and when they have livestock auctions? Seems odd?


If you know of any in south east queensland and when auctions are held I'd appreciate the info.

Surveying a property

Hi All,

We are looking at buying a small 10 acre property in SE Vic.

As the fences are needing to be replaced, should I consider engaing a Surveyor to mark out the property first?

It is a irregular shaped block with about 20 x survey pegs needed.

What sort of cost would that involve?

 

Thanks,

 

Keith

Dexter Cattle or Small Breed/Miniature Cattle Breeders in CQ

Hi All, 

 

We have recently purchased 30 acres in Bungundarra, Yeppoon area and we are wanting to run a small herd of cattle just as lawn mowers/pets.

 

I have done my research on breeds etc and read all the books but what I am having real trouble with is finding breeders of small/miniature cattle in Rockhampton area or even the Central Qld area!  Ideally I would like to run dexters but also like galloway cattle and miniature herefords.

For free-range laying hens, it seems stocking them at 10,000 birds per hectare does not dramatically increase bird stress, provided the farm is well-managed and there is sufficient indoor space for the birds to rest after foraging or dust bathing.

Rehabilitating old pasture land

My question is who do I need to help me and what am I asking them to do? I think I need a local farmer but I have no idea what to ask for just yet.

Used Tractor Help

Hello Need help! We are looking to purchase a used tractor for under $5-7k We are hoping to purchase a tractor with a grater blade on the front and a slasher on the back or can add these implements later. The adverts always sound so technical so hoping some more Tractor-savvy people could tell me what to look for in purchasing a used tractor. What is a PTO? How many hours is "well used"?
