Sheep yarded ready for classing tomorrow

@rudigermaxpower They made it year color to try encourage use for breeding sheep & to prevent people buying lots of years worth of tags at once because at that stage the rebate was for only 1 year. However if you contact PIRSA they will more than likely allow the discount for other colored tags

Can someone please explain why the discount is only available to that year colour, given it’s a voluntary system in the first place?

In 2023 Australian #wool will lead the world in traceability. Rollout of #eBale to kick off from January next year. tinyurl.com/eBale-implemen…

@farmersgrowit @broadacrebabe This is a national system Mark not developed by CFS

@broadacrebabe We were told by Cfs that the new system was similar to the old......seems not to be the case! They haven’t done their homework!🙄

Im trying to understand new FDI. If I use the example given on current table & convert with Aurora calculator to 2m height, I get a result that we need to cease harvest at 35 degrees & 18km/hr wind?? So a drop from 26km/hr to 18km/hr? Is this correct @farmersgrowit

@lachlanflorance @k_bolto Looking great mate, can you visually pick the difference between Holdfast & Advanced?

@k_bolto Mix of Holdfast GT and Advanced AT

Happy with how my mid September sown Phalaris & plantain is coming along, last weeks warm weather really kicked it along and an inch yesterday should keep it happy for a while yet! First dabble into Phalaris so I’m excited to see how it performs here.

ATTENTION SA FARMERS/HARVEST WORKERS. The Harvest code of conduct is changing and we now have a new FBI number to cease harvest operations It used to be a FDI number of 35, it is now a FBI of 40! Same way to work out just a new number!! 🔥 🚒

@mickystanton @k_bolto @MattMcDonald013 Good to hear!

@k_bolto @ts_buck @MattMcDonald013 We’ve had 39 since Sunday with 15mm being last night happy this morning!

Soooooooo whens this rain meant to arrive? Asking for a mate 😏

@k_bolto @mickystanton @MattMcDonald013 Not sure exactly which 3 days - maybe 35mm for same period but have had 87.5mm from Sunday until this morning

@ts_buck @mickystanton @MattMcDonald013 How much you had Buck. We had 30mm total for 3 days.

@mickystanton @MattMcDonald013 Come and get some of ours Micky

@MattMcDonald013 Bit of a shock so much forecast! Not much yet

In full swing at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show with the Race Delivery Module demonstration (pneumatic & manual version) with SCAA shearers Tom, Sam and Glenn, with Shannon on the wool @sheepconnectnsw @sheepconnect @sheepconnect @sheepsback

@KMatthewson_22 Not on KI

Some where a little different today. 🌱👌 can you tell me where???🤷‍♀️😉

@KerinPollMerino @k_bolto Well deserved Nigel, she is an awesome young lady who will go a long way!

@k_bolto She is studying at Marcus Oldham & was awarded the Kerin Agriculture scholarship. Just a bit of Twitter trivia.

Thought I would share our merino ewe preg scan results. % empty is pretty std but twins bit down on last year - tought autumn last year for us. Can merino producers justify increasing ewe BCS with feedcart to drive conception? What is an extra twin foetus worth ?

Looking forward to having these 3 in the shed - certain to be an informative day. Will be a feed after for those wanting to stay for a chat. Meanwhile, check out the Head Shepherd Podcast for a taste of what you're in for! #HeadShepherd

@k_bolto I assume that BCS was at start of joining? What was the % below CS3?

You won't believe where Tom Rockliff has been off to! Catch the full chat soon 🎣 @Telstra

Can anyone point me in the direction of a wrecked Buhler Versatile 2335 tractor or models either side? We are desperately chasing another fuse/relay circuit board as ours got a little melted beyond repair.

@EmCharlotteAnn For full remote weather station & soil moisture probe @agbyte_leet is your man. Not sure if he travels to WA though🤔

Remote rain gauges - maybe weather station also. Any recommendations or definite no’s? Have cellular service at sites.

Cracking idea on the A trailer of our sowing contractor truck. 🚚 No unhooking or jack knifing Works great in paddock also with seed cart elevator getting seed form A trailer and fert from the back! Very nifty #makelifeeasier

@Bonidup @AlMacsky SLS is like a wetter, helps to allow the hoof to absorb the Zinc.

Day 1 of 5 day foot-bathing as part of our eradication program. Utilizing the old cattle foot-bath to get 2 foot baths going, 4200 foot-bathed in 7 hrs, kicking goals with labor efficiency today!

@AlMacsky 18-20% Zn Sulphate & 1% Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, 15mins 5 times in 10 days

@ts_buck What are you bathing with?
