24.01.2022 IF ANYONE SEES A NEAR NEW, WHITE DUEL CAB HILUX WITH GUNMETAL GREY TRAY AND TOOL BOX, RING THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. THIS UTE BELONGS TO SHANE MOORE AND HAS ONLY JUST BEEN STOLEN FROM YALCA.

24.01.2022 Robinson Family Livestock Services go all year round with their calf buying. This time of year, it’ll be on demand basis until the spring calving kicks in. Today and over the past number of weeks, we’ve been running the car, ute and trailers. Can’t wait to fill the truck on a 2 day a week basis though

23.01.2022 Shepparton sale 26/02/2019 There were 1,500 exports and 500 trade cattle penned, with approximately 1,000 head of the exports being cows. The increase in numbers was due to a large influx of dairy cows, with the oversupply causing prices to decrease by 11c/kg. The best of the grown steers and bullocks sold from firm to slightly dearer. Trade buyers were selective and quality was mixed, however odd sales of the B muscled yearlings and vealers sold at higher prices. The best of... the B muscled heavy vealers reached 310c/kg. The B and C muscled yearling steers made from 265c to 299c, while the heifer portion sold from 245c to 280c/kg. The 500-600kg C3 and C4 steers made from 267c to 284c to average 277c/kg for the C4s. The bullocks weighing over 600kg live weight reached 278c/kg. Although dairy cow numbers increased, the quality of the offering improved on last week. The heavy Friesian cows made from 146c to 187c to average 157c/kg for the D1s. There were also large pens of beef cows and prices there were less affected, making from 175c to 202c/kg See more

21.01.2022 Shepparton cattle. Cattle numbers fell and the quality was very mixed. There were 900 exports and 600 trade cattle offered and prices were firm on the better trade and heavy bullocks but fell sharply on the light and plain secondary cattle. Cow numbers fell considerably and bullocks with weight were in short supply. Cows eased on the lighter weights by 20c but heavy cows with plenty of cover also eased 10c/kg. Heavy trade vealers were firm 265c to 285c for the steers and 250...c to 265c/kg for heifers. Feeder steers sold to 277c and averaged 259c/kg.

20.01.2022 We here at Robinson Family Livestock Services endorse and support the Green Shirts Movements NATIONWIDE. Just like we support our customers, the FARMERS. The ones who thanklessly feed us. Unreal opinions, religion, or political views are just like a penis... perfectly fine to have one, it’s ok to play with it in private but if you pull it out in public and start waving it about and try ramming it down peoples throats, then that becomes a criminal offence....

19.01.2022 This is why we are called Robinson Family Livestock SERVICES. Not every Livestock carrier notices a slightly ‘off’ animal on his truck and then goes back the next day to treat her. We go beyond and above for our clients.

17.01.2022 Robinson Family Livestock Services went all year round with the calf buying, taking in numbers of calves whilst other local services closed down. A recent increase in numbers has been bought and delivered as farmers enter their autumn calving period. We currently service 2 days a week due to the increase. We take healthy, fed and tagged calves 5 days old onwards, above 23kg. ... Today, we even took pigs! There is no limit to our services, carting all livestock all over the place! Our prices are better than the rest so get the word out and give us a call!! Gleno Robinson Director Robinson Family Livestock Services 0428954015

17.01.2022 Shepparton sale 19/02/2019 There were 900 exports and 400 trade cattle, with over 500 of the exports being cows. Today saw me penning and sorting the already purchased cattle after being scanned and weighed just to spice my job up a bit. There were some good quality lots of finished C4 grown steers and bullocks that attracted increased competition. The majority of the beef cows had condition and weight and prices lifted by 3c to 10c/kg for the beef types, while the dairy co...ws also finished a few cents better. The better quality offering of trade cattle helped bolster prices. The trade cattle consisted on a few more supplementary fed or crop finished yearlings and vealers this sale. Prices for the better ends of the B and C muscled yearling steers and vealers were 3c to 8c/kg dearer. The vealers going to the trade made from 268c to 296c/kg. The yearling steers B and C muscled made from 264c to a top of 302.6c/kg. There were fewer yearling heifers penned this week and the C muscled grades made from 251c to 282c/kg. The plainer cattle had mixed trends. The 500-600kg C3 and C4 steers made from 256c to 275c, while the 600kg plus steers made from 262c to 278c/kg with both grades firm to a few cents dearer. The heavy beef cows made from 196c to 210c, with the dairy portion making from 143c to 192c/kg. See more

15.01.2022 Shepparton sale 05-02-2019 There were 770 exports and 630 trade cattle penned. A few light showers throughout the sale, with the hope of more to come over the next few days weighing on people’s minds. An export buyer returned after several weeks’ absence however, other regulars failed to show. Cow numbers were back and very few grown steers were offered.

13.01.2022 Took your cows for a surf today at Kilcunda Stuart Haberle. They loved it!

12.01.2022 Some of you may have heard of this invasion day by these Aussie Farm idiots and others tomorrow...I’ve been emailed the following - we do not know where or wh...en but here is tips- Preparation: Before: 1. Keep main gates shut and locked 2. Signage - Warning no entry without permission from the landowner or you will be deemed to be trespassing, and will be sued. Guard dogs patrol this property 3. Engage with local police, neighbours, and friends. Have them on speed dial etc so they can rapidly respond and turn up as support. 4. Keep an eye out for suspicious convoy movements and phone ahead in the direction of travel 5. Make friends who may work in fuel stations aware of what is going on and ask then to act as an early warning system. During: 1. Footage is your friend. Everyone who attends in support MUST bring cameras. Record footage of faces, rego numbers, identifying features, any action or activity including with livestock equipment and especially any entry into house yard. 2. DO NOT USE FORCE even so called reasonable force can be something that could be turned against us. 3. Force (reasonable) may be used to protect against an act of force or violence, or direct damage to animals or property. 4. Possibly place yourselves in the way of intruders vehicles to prevent their departure until police arrive. Any physical attempt to move you can be viewed as assault get footage. After: 1. Provide copies of all identifying footage to police 2. Get in touch with Green Shirts - we have some who know many of the activists to assist with identity. 3. Make formal complaint to police 4. Consider taking civil action to sue identified intruders. 5. Support Green Shirts to lobby all levels of government, police, judiciary to change/act upon laws to protect us and our livelihoods. Legal Advice: Yesterday, the police issued a statement entitled "Protest Response Considerations". It commences like this - "It is a democratic right for a person to engage in protest activity in Queensland and it often falls to Police to facilitate the safe conduct of protests having regards to the needs of all persons involved or impacted by the activity." This is not correct because - # there is no such "democratic" or any other right to protest on someone else's property like the Vegans have done and are intending to do; # it is not the Police's job to "facilitate the safe conduct of protests" on someone else's property. It is their job to prevent and prosecute the commission of crimes and offences. It is an offence against Section 11 and 13 of the Summary Offences Act 2005 to unlawfully enter or remain in a home/business premises or farming land respectively; # "unlawfully" is defined in the Act to mean "without authorisation, justification or excuse by law"; # The invading Vegans are unlawfully on the farms as they are not "authorised" to be there. Of more concern the statement later says - "Whilst you have the right to take steps to defend persons and property your response must be proportionate to the behaviour of the perpetrators (the threat). In this regard, carefully assess the conduct of the protestors to determine if the overt behaviour of the protestors presents a clear and actual threat to persons and property." This is not the law. There is no prerequisite that the trespasser must be posing a threat before a landowner can use reasonable force to remove them. Landowners and Police have the clear right under Section 277 of the Criminal Code to use reasonable force to prevent or remove persons who are unlawfully on private property whether they are posing a threat to persons or property or not. S 277 (1) It is lawful for a person who is in peaceable possession of any land, structure, vessel, or place, or who is entitled to the control or management of any land, structure, vessel, or place, and for any person lawfully assisting him or her or acting by his or her authority, to use such force as is reasonably necessary in order to prevent any person from wrongfully entering upon such land, structure, vessel, or place, or in order to remove therefrom a person who wrongfully remains therein, provided that he or she does not do grievous bodily harm to such person. (2) It is lawful for a person who is in peaceable possession of any land, structure, vessel, or place, or who is entitled to the control or management of any land, structure, vessel, or place, and for any person acting by his or her authority, to use the force that is reasonably necessary in order to remove therefrom any person who conducts himself or herself in a disorderly manner therein, provided that he or she does not do the person grievous bodily harm. " Of course the landowner must make it clear to the trespassers that they are not welcome. Then they can be removed using reasonable force. What is reasonable force will depend on many factors including the threat posed. Invasion by a large group dressed to prevent identification would have to be an aggravating factor in this offence, and may impact on a Court's decision on what constitutes "reasonable force". It is time the Police got some proper advice and acted to prevent these invasions instead of condoning them with legal fallacies. John Rivett - Solicitor

10.01.2022 Shepparton sale 05/03/2019 Numbers were back as far fewer dairy cows were penned. There were 880 exports and 600 trade cattle, amongst the export were 480 cows. Competition weakened dramatically across the cow offering and prices were back 10c to 20c/kg and even more in some places. It was a plainer quality line up of grown steers and bullocks. A greater proportion of vealers were offered, as the yearling steers and heifers were scarce. Prices were back across most of the tra...de weight grades also particularly for the plainer quality cattle. The best of the vealers made to 311c/kg. The C3 yearling steers made to 272c, with the yearling heifer portion reaching 290c/kg. The 400-500kg C4 steers topped at 280c, with the 500-600kg steers making to 272c and the 600kg plus bullocks reaching 270c/kg. Friesian steer numbers increased, however the cheaper market meant several pen lots were not sold. Friesian steers made to 195c/kg. It was a plainer offering of dairy cows and D muscled Friesian cows over 520kg made from 118c to 180c/kg. The beef cows reached a top of 199.6c for some exceptional A muscled Belgium Blue cows, the majority of the C and D muscled beef cows making from 155c to 188c/kg. See more

10.01.2022 Shepparton cattle 12/03/2019 Cattle numbers where back, as 995 exports and 400 trade cattle were penned. There was a large display of good quality finished bullocks, the best we’ve seen for some time. Even with reduced numbers of dairy cows and a better line up of heavy well covered beef cows, cow prices declined further. The trade cattle had mixed price trends. Store conditioned young cattle not suited to the feedlotters struggled with pricing but still found homes with oppo...rtunistic producers. There were more supplementary fed yearling steers this week which sold at firm to dearer rates. The yearling heifer portion was scrutinised and had mixed trends. A single B muscled vealer topped at 312c with the majority of the vealers ranging from 220c to 300c/kg. The yearling steers to the trade made from 265c to 304c/kg. The C muscled yearling heifers made from 225c to 270c/kg. The 500 to 600kg grown steers, C3 and C4, made from 242c to 278c/kg. There were too few bullocks last week to make a comparison, but the 600kg plus C4 bullocks made from 254c to 278c to average 270c/kg. The beef cows ranged from 158c to 186c and the heavy dairy cows made from 116c to 158c/kg. See more
