21.01.2022 The very reasons why I love the mighty Merino.

19.01.2022 Get on now to listen to best practices to ram buying

18.01.2022 Hear from the top in the industry. FOR FREE. Will be well worth it. Love sheep

13.01.2022 This is why we sell our wool to ZQ wool. Our wool goes into Icebreaker products.

12.01.2022 The time has come. Contact if interested in any way.

11.01.2022 Two great genetics working together. Merino ewe lamb 13 months old. Joind to a composite. South west Vic. Modern merino.

09.01.2022 Looking to modernise your merino flock. Add high carcass with quality high rainfall wool. Plenty of good rams still Available.

09.01.2022 Don’t forget the two days coming up. Andrew has a cracking line of rams that will give you the most carcass you will find on a merino with high rainfall wool to suite.

09.01.2022 Beautiful 42 day aged merino Mutton. Full flavour. Taste amazing.

06.01.2022 Not sheep related but had a good week.

06.01.2022 Great morning for put fresh wean lambs in new paddock Bit hot for the dogs

02.01.2022 #Parisexit. As we watch the National Energy Guarantee debate unfold, all farmers in Australia should be shaking in their boots. To date Agriculture in Austral...ia has single handedly paid for the Kyoto targets, we have paid through reductions in ag emissions and a raft of increased legislation on vegetation management. The reality is that our farmers cannot afford Paris. A cut of 26% on the current fictitious accounting methods would require the cull of 8000 animals in Australia per day for a decade. The fact is the accounting mechanisms are beyond ridiculous. I drive down the road from my farm and the paddocks are lit up with dozens of stacks burning methane and other waste gases from coal production. I ask myself if we mustered every cow in Australia and put them in one big yard and lit a match would the air ignite? I think not. But somehow our carbon accounting methods say that fugitive emissions from all coal mining in Australia equal that of cows burping. One tonne of coal production results in 20kg of CO2 emissions, one cow results in 60kg of CO2 emissions per year, every year of her life. To top this off, the methane flares spewing CO2 into the atmosphere down my road actually result in carbon credits. Even crazier is the fact that according to the FAO cows in Australia apparently burp much more than anywhere else in the world, Indian cows for instance have 27kg of CO2 emissions per year. Once again if you hold a match in front of a cow it doesn't result in a gas flare. I am not suggesting that we need to shut down mining, what I am suggesting is that whoever dreamed up the carbon accounting mechanism has never met a cow. I also believe that while ever we continue to export coal or gas we should be utilising it here for competitive industry and Australian jobs. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, we learnt that in science in primary school. Some carbon cycles fast, some carbon cycles over millions of years. The reality is that cows eat grass (carbon), they convert some of that carbon to meat that we eat, they sequester some of that carbon into our soils and some of the carbon returns to the atmosphere. If the cow didn't eat the grass, it would either rot (releasing methane), burn (releasing CO2) or get eaten by a termite (releasing methane - in fact termites emit 23 million tonnes of it per year!) Whether or not you agree with man made climate change, surely we could all agree that digging up carbon that was stored millions of years ago and releasing it into the atmosphere is potentially more harmful than grazing some carbon stored in a piece of grass last wet season for the purposes of feeding ourselves!
