What an amazing time at #Livexchange2019 Townsville hearing about the many jobs in Indonesia created by co-grazing cattle under Palm plantations. "This is not just about making money from animals, it is so much more than that"

Another @westaustralian well-balanced article, while the sector has immediately adopted regulatory changes-the sector has gone further & made additional changes-to provide leading animal welfare & an open & transparent sector #auspol #thesheepcollective thewest.com.au/opinion/live-e…

@woolinnovation @WAFarmers @WAPastoralists @WoolProducers @SheepCollective See you @woolorama!

@amoeaba Absolutely, and so many isolated work places you work together and live together. No wonder so many find it hard to speak up or speak out about harassment even though it is so important

@bindimurray Isolation was spoken about at length as a factor that makes dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace even more difficult. There a less places and people to turn to when you live remotely. #RRRStronger19

“On the station, the boss offered $1K reward to 1st guy that slept with me...” “I was shocked. I was there to prove myself, learn, so kept to myself & didn’t say anything.” “Other young blokes also knew that this was wrong but they wanted to impress the boss.” #RRRStronger19

@Middleton_Says @avalindphotog Any double denim and cowboy hats @Middleton_Says? I was once told that was what a focus group identified as an 'honest farmer'

@FAotC Such an important perspective! The @woolinnovation learnaboutwool.com program mentioned in this article and @meatlivestock goodmeat.com.au/education-reso… are great examples of indusrty and RDC work in this area

Thanks ⁦@SheepCollective⁩ for showing me around the Al Massilah today. As a farmer, it was good to see first hand the inside of the ship - the water, feed and ventilation in action, and to see the sheep in their pens on board. I hope others will take up the opportunity.

Today we welcomed @NationalFarmers Pres Fiona Simpson @afsnsw on export vessel bound for Middle East The most recent voyages on the Al Messilah have recorded success rates of unloading 99.8% of sheep & 100% of cattle, thanks RETWA & KLTT for making their export vessel available

@DirtSouthern A great comp @DirtSouthern and a great Captain @GrainsMae Go Southern Dirt Skirts!!

@iamsuey @DebEdmonds60s @JimmiJai @Middleton_Says Hi Suey, our accredited contractor uses a harvestaire brand cradle. With most ewes you can tell are late stages of pregnancy, but some ewes, like some people you can't.

The all female delegate of WA sheep farmers visiting parliament last week to plead their case for #liveexport. 😁 What isn’t funny and is ironic, is that the ewe’s would be asking for the exact opposite of their human counterparts...😢 #BanLiveExport

@DebEdmonds60s @JimmiJai @Middleton_Says @iamsuey Hi Debra, I think human error is the main cause. I tag many lambs on our farm and I know I get some wrong as someone else on the cradle double checks and tells me! The marking team wants to get the lambs marked quickly and back with thier mums. We need to continue to improve here

@bindimurray @JimmiJai @Middleton_Says I agree with @iamsuey, why are so many sheep being incorrectly tagged? Human error is always a factor, but for a legal requirement & something so crucial to animal welfare, why is it constantly happening? Carelessness? Another fail overlooked too long.

@DebEdmonds60s @JimmiJai @Middleton_Says Hi Debra, Mediterranean climate in WA is variable and we need to adjust to the feed that grows after the break if season, which is also variable. Pregnant ewes shouldnt be on vessels but pregnancy scanning isnt 100% accurate & sheep aren't scanned if incorrectly tagged as male

@bindimurray @JimmiJai @Middleton_Says Under normal conditions shouldn’t you always have enough feed for your ewes and lambs? ‘Continue’ to reduce the risk of ewe’s birthing on ships? Should be ‘start’, at least ‘improve’, bc ewe’s have always been forced into distressing births on board.

@GlenridgePark @Middleton_Says Me too! But I also missed my usual foot wear while we were away

@Middleton_Says @bindimurray Me too!!!!!!!!!!!

Working with @bindimurray and @Middleton_Says in Canberra this week - we are so fortunate to have these two influential advocates working so effectively on behalf of the WA sheep industry.

SM also creates an opportunity to talk with and listen to people far and wide. A powerful tool but it can be tricky when you are passionate! I love the tips in this vid 👇 youtu.be/9a8TxwB9wlo

@JohnKeily1 @Willydhunt @MovementWa @Paul_Brown1 @agintegrity @afsnsw @NationalFarmers @shangoodwinbeef @WAFarmers @WAPastoralists @PaulkKeenan @HaroldSealy @bindimurray @ColinJBettles @Agjourno_wa @Smithythejourno @AustLiveExports @oliverpeterson @cattlecouncilau @SheepProducers I do agree with you. Just think how effective agricultural advocacy could be if EVERYONE in our supply chain was a contributor. Social media has also given the anti ag activists a platform for their views.
