@sheepGeekCP @MerinotechAdmin The EID on the collar is matched up with the sheep’s EID when the collar goes on. The big blue tag has the number printed on both sides 👍🌧️🌧️🌧️🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

@MerinotechAdmin What are you using to keep the neck tag on the ewe?

It’s been a busy week for the Merinotech nucleus and ram breeder @Marbarrup! Foot scoring the 24-drop ewes ✅ Midside sampling the 24-drop nucleus rams ✅ YWT, CS and structural checks for the 24-drop rams ✅ Start of lambing 2025 ✅

Sick of poor/non existant mobile phone coverage so set up a wireless bridge and 30 acre outdoor wifi from starlink at the house. 10 to 100x faster speeds within 500 metres of the wifi mount. Only costs 700 dollars total. Will be glad to see the end of the telstra reliance.

@EmCharlotteAnn Nice 👌 gota love those fodder crops

2400 weaners made short work of that low lignin standing oat crop! 28th Nov - 19th Feb makes for easy weaner growth! Laneway in the fore ground. Oat paddock over the fence.

Less than 24HOURS til our TRIALS REVIEW DAY! Come along to hear our very own Jessica & Sheridan talk us through some NEW projects we have going on! RSVP now to ensure you don't miss out! trybooking.com/CZBVP

@therealfarmagro The year for it Creeky. This one has never been dry

Are you coming along to our Trials Review Day, Friday 7th March? With a full afternoon of research updates from our region and starting the arvo with a tour of a local feedlot, it's sure to be a ripper! RSVP today - trybooking.com/CZBVP Itinerary to be released next week!

The team at @Marbarrup were busy this week EMD & fat scanning the MA ewes + collecting their pre-joining WT & CS. Research suggests that fat measurements may be an indicator of whole body energy, so we’re hoping this data will contribute to better understanding the correlation.

If you are an Australian sheep farmer and have spare 15 minutes over the festive season please fill out our survey! Link to the survey here: form.jotform.com/243521426992056

@Agrivetbusiness Allot better than expected. 323 mm for the year in a 550mm zone. We had a warm winter and a cool dry spring that helped the WUE numbers.

@Marbarrup Here yields have been pretty amazing around Kojonup… Any numbers to share yet?

A bit of Marbarrup 24 barley harvest action 🍻🍻

@travelmonkee Awesome hey. I was thinking of getting that one printed

@Marbarrup The overhead harvest drone shot was epic

@BarryGr66 Thank you. Sure is a bit challenging in some of our paddocks! We do have some nice runs in areas thanks to a few caterpillar storms going through

The team at @Marbarrup were busy shearing their 23-drop rams earlier this week. Another key bit of data collected to help with selection decisions! These rams now have their full data sets incl. wool scores, fibre tests (e.g. micron), feet & hock scores, EMD & fat scans + more!

The countdown is on, 4 days to go until our 2024 Spring Field Day! We are thrilled that @BonnyStutsel @IOA_UWA will be joining us to give an update on the Water Smart Dams Project! Make sure to RSVP by Mon to secure your spot & help us w/ catering #'s! SouthernDirtSFD.eventbrite.com.au

@holmescoljac Colin I have a few bits from a 9770 with a Techfarm on the back

Does any one have a hills chaff cart or perhaps a tecfarm chaff cart hooked to a 9870 sts want to see the baffle system / blanking plates and how they fit with the straw chopper. Thanks in advance
