Your obsession with what’s "natural" is holding you back. We’ve fallen for the appeal to nature fallacy: the idea that natural is always better. It’s costing us innovation, sustainability, and progress. Here’s the story of the “natural” delusion 🧵: 1/

@sheepGeekCP Tough when you first look at it. But the bottom line is Dolly has not raised that lamb and I would treat her the same as any other ewe that has lambed and lost regardless of whether it was taken by foxes, dystocia or stolen by a pirate mother 🏴‍☠️.

Sorting out sheep data on a rainy day. Found a ewe (lets call her Jolene) that’s had 12 lambs in 6 years. Just found through DNA she pinched 1 lamb from another ewe (lets call her Dolly) this year. Now Dolly is off in the cull mob for not rearing a lamb, is this fair? 1/2

@RuralFarmerSA @HuwGriffinRugby The bomb squad tactic is less about substitutions at the same time and more about having the depth and quality in the squad to bring on genuine world class to finish a game

@HuwGriffinRugby Now add the Springbok’s bomb squad tactic into this…you have a lethal strategy.

So, What is Eddie Jones Cooking in Japan? 🇯🇵 Jones is 9 games into his second stint with the Brave Blossoms 🌸 and he has got them playing a totally unique brand of rugby But what is it? And is it working? Let’s crunch the numbers to find out… 🧵

@NickParnell_ @rugby_podcast Rennie picked almost exclusively older players. Eddie picked none of them and went with youth. Hopefully picking a balance with Joe will prove to be the answer.

@rugby_podcast Haven’t we been trusting the coaching staff, and young players for 3 coaches now? Anyway, I’ll still be here next game, and the game after that, doesn’t really matter the result I’ll always watch. I’m sure it’s true for others but definitely not the majority.

The only choice Aussie fans have is to trust the coaching staff, trust youth. And slowly build. However, it is impossibly hard not to ride the highs and lows of each game, it’s impossibly hard to not want some pay now. But here we are. Ridding the long game.

Over 125 registered for the #GRDC Grenfell update. Fantastic to see growers and agronomists valuing these days. Could have a bit to do with 10mm overnight bringing the punters out…

Looking forward to this event in Orange in a few weeks. I will be talking on on-farm investment. Hope to see you there. agribusinesstodayforum.com

Thanks for all the reposts but still looking

Chasing agistment for 15-20 cows (spring calvers) for a few months if anyone can help out? Preferably within 100km of Forbes.

GOA’s own Ben O’Brien is on the bill at this excellent field day next Wednesday 26th ….great topics & speakers @GRDCNorth @theGRDC @bennyobGOA @MaurieStreet @RobGindurra

@1stFive8 @brumby_fan Yeah but he lost to Italy by picking a B grade when he couldn’t afford to. Not a sensible decision in hindsight.

@brumby_fan Dave Rennie was very sensible, so it hasn't been that long.

I get the feeling Schmidt might be the most sensible coach we’ve had in a very very very long time

@sheepGeekCP You don’t have any neighbours with Wagyu’s do you? I’ve heard they are fertile enough to get a merino pregnant!

2nd day of crutching & vaccinating. Look what we found in the shed this morning🤨 ( not due for 4wks) Think I call the ewe Mary. It can't have been my management that caused this, right!

@propfarmer Looks great but any chance of sheep rubbing/ bumping causing collapse?

When I first joined #twitter I marvelled at all the videos of farmers and their stuff. I’ve been away for a while but here’s a timelapse of removing our grouper bin using trailer landing legs I had built to store the bin in our shearing shed and not take up sheep space.

@GrainOrana @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @gsandral @MaurieStreet Radioactive fert exposure - that explains a lot about @MaurieStreet, @bennyob and the Goa team!

??Radioactive fertiliser?? Year 3 of our P source trials comparing manure to MAP ...using radioactive fert in micro plots to see if the P uptake is from 2024 or from 2023's P. With some help from Queensland Uni 👍 😎=SO COOL @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @gsandral @MaurieStreet

@sheepGeekCP I have seen people cut the plastic to keep it attached and fold it out like an awning to keep rain out.

Another loose lick container setup for the Ewes pre-lambing.

@GrainOrana @MaurieStreet @ruskinrowe @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @bennyob @gsandral @CaptainCanola Is it on apple or Spotify yet guys?

New long-term research: the benefit of no-till practices on water infiltration is large. Unlike tilled soil, where aggregates break down after the first rain or irrigation, no-till methods maintain soil structure and infiltration effectively. Open access californiaagriculture.org/article/94714-…

Gilgandra site getting sown today

Temperate pasture demonstration has been sown at Parkes. Have also got a lime demo in the same paddock looking an ameliorating subsoil acidity. Should be a cracker of a spring field day! Thanks @newellm_matt for such a tidy job.

@sheepGeekCP Is it that wet at Tullamore you’re putting clogs on your sheep?

This sheep is lucky I still have some foot speed left from my footy days. Even had to make a diving tackle.

I was left a little baffled by the decision of @MurrayWatt. Let’s make an impact and put our energy towards something of value. Sign the petition & overturn the live export ban that has sheep & farming families lives in jeopardy not knowing the future chng.it/MGkqJ5VwtH
