Do you tick treat pigs?

I just lost a piglet to a paralysis tick.  I never knew they were susceptible to them!  So what do people generally do for ticks on pigs?  Or is it just leave it to fate?

This is my dream come true...but I know nothing!

I need to know everything! 

We are living on 360 acres and have 4 horses, 4 calves, 2 piglets, 10 ducklings, 15 chickens (was 16 but had to chop one of their heads off today as was very sick!), 1 rooster, 3 dogs, 4 children!! 

Plan to get more cattle, some sheep and goats.

The idea is self-sustainability (L-plate vege gardener also!) .

I joined this site to get some help as I am also new to the area and don't know any farmers.

Protect your small farm from grass fires

The recent rain experienced across many parts of New South Wales has been welcome – but it’s also brought an unwelcome threat for many people.

The rain has lead to increased grass growth across many areas and as this grass begins to dry out, there’s an increased risk of grass fires.

What is the best pasture for my area

I have a 300acre farm at Biarra just outside of Esk in the Brisbane valley(SE QLD).

We run Santa , Droughtmaster X cows and calves, what is the best pasture to plant to improve my country for this area with the least soil disturbance?
