hi, i was just wondering if someone could give me some advice. my husband and I have a beef cattle. we were thinking of selling our beef straight to consumers and was wondering what the process was. we have the cattle killed by a professional and also cut up by the local butcher so we wouldnt be doing any of that side of it, we just wanted to sell the packed product to consumers. I was just after the legallities of selling your own product.

if anyone could give me info on starting up this little business idea , that would be much appreciated.

Currently in the process of buying a 10acre property in Lockyer Waters, west of Brisbane, close to Gatton. I have an idea of what I want to do but with very little experience, I was hoping for some input... 

I currently do a few things that I'd like to expand on... 

I have a small (20) chicken laying flock of Aracuanas, wellsummers and Sussex, and would like to increase the flock (50-60) what do I need to do to sell eggs legally in QLD? 

The last real rain was in November and LOTS of 40 degree plus days. The place was dry as a chip, we have sold all but our core herd and flock and we have been feeding them. How things have changed, 200mm over the last three days and we have full dams AND even grass growing noticibly. Timing is perfect as the weather is still warm for pasture growth. The profile will be full after this so is time to start sowing :-)

Anyone else had good rain?

Cheers

Hi there.

I've tried searching Google and found a few pay-for services and a few others which I can't seem to get working. Is there an easy way to see some basic soil type maps for certain areas in, say, NSW?

Thanks!

I'm looking to get advise on starting an olive grove e.g land prep, irrigation; olive variaties etc

Hi all ,

I have added feed oats to my sheep's diet and built it up over  the month .  they seem happy and come running when they see me going in the paddock .

i'm trying to find a supplier for my farm at Crookwell.

Had the soil testing done. Dolomite better than Lime for me

Quote from spreader companies was $10k+ for 190 ac. Supply and spread. (tell him he's dreaming)

If I can find a source i'll spread it myself.

When is best to spread and does it need digging in (?)

I want to do asap and then fertalise in early spring

Any thoughts please.

Hi,

I'm currently looking into buying a property. One of the ones I am interested in has some underground irrigation (15hc). I'm after some more info on it , eg: how long before it needs replacing etc , can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you
