@BrettPage72 How much more water added than before the slippery dip ? Double

9am update , dam up 1m approx 2.2 million litres added

@pbl1972 Yes please

Incoming rain?

@KerinPollMerino @PhilWhitp4 Could one answer be to create 150 pdks, 1 day per graze or 300 pdks 12 hrs , 600 pdks 6 hrs etc. ? Even the humps and valleys out but keep the pasture residuals as you have them ?

@PhilWhitp4 Get your drift with regards to dairy cows 🐄 With regards to say backgrounding cattle we want them off the farm asap 50 pdks 3 day graze 150 days 1.5 kg a day = 225 kg of gain & they have gone

"TECH HELPS KEEP THE KILOS” 🧠🏋️ First day in a new pdk Cattle ADG 1.9 kg 🥊 Lambs ADG .520 grams 💪 Stay in the Pdk to complete a nice even graze maybe 2 days too long Cattle ADG .500 kg loss 😡 Lambs ADG .150 gram loss 😢 Key learning: It's a bit like the Bain-Marie at the local RSL club, stay there too long & all that will be left is the YELLOW RICE 🍚 🤮 @followers #kerinpollmerino #lambex24 #forflockssake #nextgenagri #optiweigh #MLA #AWI #RMC #RCS #flytheflagforag #wagyuaustralia #angusaustralia #agrista #farmownersacademy

@bouta_nt Roads too rough to fall asleep on anyway hey.

Not far from crossing back into the Territory thank fuck. QLD can stick their roads and log books up their balloon knot. Absolute shithole

@Howiefarming Great result in a tough autumn

Commercials hit very good FTAI results this season in challenging conditions. 64% to AI in 120 heifers. Another 22% to backup bulls.

@Johnpascoe10 I have 50 odd 300mm ones for pellets have lasted great. Only thing is because they are light they get pushed around everywhere, good to move though. Block the holes with silastic or mud or something. Grain in there stinks, dribbles out horrible stuff when wet and they flip over

Feedlot troughs from poly culvert. 450 mm or 525. Has anyone else tried this. …any good ideas appreciated

@BrettPage72 @Howiefarming @originalstinger @ksmith_agro @ColBowey Saving the planet, one capeweed at a time

@KentRochester @Howiefarming @originalstinger @ksmith_agro @ColBowey Very regen of u Kent

Any agros out there that can explain the theory of spray/graze capeweed with a high calcium folia? Wanting to clean up a rye/clover paddock which is getting overrun. Explain it me like I’m 5 thanks! @originalstinger @ksmith_agro @ColBowey

@JamieNicolaou The drier the ground gets the better earth system we need. Add earth stakes and it’ll go away I think

Gotta love getting a zap when opening the main gates. Earth wire shorting on staple….removed the staple then it has got hotter on the insulated side…and hotter at the gates! Looks like a job for tomorrow!!

@darryn_browne Yep. But good wire. The crappy stuff fails, only had one fail that a tractor wheel pulled up in the mud.

@KentRochester So just burying the connecting wire. Not putting it through poly Kent?

Morning gang Under gate or over gate for electric fencing. I'm usually a 3 barb man But have a fair bit of 3 wire Weston fence I need to power up Cheers

@JamieNicolaou Had exactly the same a few yrs ago. Took some doing to get him out.

How and fucking why….at 5.30 on a Friday!

@calukafarms Can we please have another 145mm March April !

@Doctor_650 @BrettPage72 Well done. Congratulations all 👍

So good to win this award. Nominated by Australia’s most trusted brand. #woolworths #stirlingrangesbeef Meat and Seafood Trade Partner of the year 2023. Big ✅for WA beef producers. Well done @BrettPage72

@ruthmcgregor4 Thanks Ruth always interesting to see how you go about it. 👍

Very last graze for the year this evening and that’s my short 2023 grass season done. 🤌 Roll on the dry. That’s my last twitter grazing season too. You might see me nostalgically tweeting next year but possibly not much. All the best with ya grass and grazing management all. 🫶🏻

@bouta_nt @barrelracernt At least they load quick, truck be full in no time

This is basically how I make my living. A mixture of good animals, great temperament , great understanding of animals and behaviour, and a fair set of balls @barrelracernt

@Howiefarming Just cut your feed demand down a heap. Good thinking. Feels like we are in for a tough patch.

Season shut off with a bang on the south coast. Into the rumen development and boxing all the cows together! #weaning #angus

@oldfield_ben @Albeveridge1 @ryan_milgate @bellseeds Not too many ex gum spots cut hay yr 1. Great job

This country was bluegum stumps this time last year. Bit of lime and pigshit and a lot of cleaning up and it produced a very nice hay crop @Albeveridge1 @ryan_milgate @bellseeds

@SimonTWFowler Look spot on. Nice job

First load of grass steers ready to go.

@farmagro1 @pbl1972 @BradW00ldridge @bellseeds Capable of either crop or pasture really. We have done both. Super happy with the alpha discs in all conditions so far.

Help please. Engineering students are looking at adapting air carts into small seeders. ……. What are the older $20k-$50k air carts hiding in your sheds. Retweet’s appreciated .
