Hello. I'm new here. I was really delighted to find this forum. I've been doing a bit of hobby farming on our place for the last few years and I'm keen to take it up a notch. I hope to learn heaps on here.

Hi,
I have about 10 acres in Neerim south, near Warragul in Victoria. The soil is uneven in its nutrient content, and I havent had any animals nor was it sprayed with any chemicals for years.

Hi all,

 

I've recently purchased a 30 acre hobby farm and I'm looking to get some sheep and cattle to start grazing the grass in the next couple of months (as well as starting up a large orchard on the rest of the land).

Do you have to bury/burn cows?

If you put a cow down is it the law that you have to bury or burn it? I can see why you would need to do this if your property was small (20 acres) and you had alot of neighbours but what if your property is 350 acres?

Who do I get to put down cattle?

Ofcourse i'd prefer if I could load them but they go absolutely mad in the yard... I was told to get a vet but just wondering what method do they use to put them down and will they charge me alot
