Wouldn’t wish Marriage Separation on anyone. If your married make it work, this is one of the most fucked up experiences I’ve been through. Thought I was doing ok, then it’s hit me like a train while doing all the legal stuff and packing. Take care folks 👍👌

There’s a lot of pressure in Ag at the moment, chatting to lots of people who are wondering why. Let’s try put the positivity back in it by sharing one photo of why you chose Ag as your life and career. For me it’s cruising about with this legend day to day.

18 years in WA today for me. Came with $1000 in the bank and a ‘86 model cruiser, to look round for 12 months. And here today.. not sure if I’ve gone forward or backwards or where it will end. Had some great opportunities put to me by great people.

I hope no one experiences the bullying, narcissism and treatment I’ve had the past few weeks. It’s had me near at my lowest again. If it wasn’t for going back on my meds it probably would have tipped me over the edge. Take care everyone. There’s some arsehole on this earth.

12 months ago to this day i thought my world had been turned inside out by a narcissistic female who screwed me over, right in amongst with also dealing with a separation. A dozen good mates propped me back up from what i was going to be happy to be my last few living days 🖤

Off the back of one of the dearest production years ever costs up 20-30% .. 28% drop in value

So apparently part of the Governments agenda is to also stop Transportation of sheep long distances ie WA to East coast. Millions of sheep the last few years have gone that direction, its been our saviour with Export restrictions
Maybe it is time to make a solid stand. Who’s in?

If you run a business and your key supplier says “sorry I’m only going to supply you for the next 4 years”
Whats the first thing you’d do?? Be looking for a new supplier ASAP. Therefore this isn’t a 4 year phase out, it’s a here and now.

Whats going on in the livestock industry is real, but there is a shit load of non compassion from the non ag sector on what we are facing, infact its pretty disgusting the way some farmers are being treated. I among others have invested heavily in stock the past few years 1/3

End of an era for the family today. Mum who’s now 78, left school and ran cattle along side Grandad and then continued on successfully on her own until today, the last load loaded out and thats it, I recon at 78 its time to enjoy life. Extremely proud of her.

Been through a fair rough time between failed marriage followed by the most horrible relationship I’d been in. Along came this gem. It’s not been without its challenges (mainly bought on by me) but it’s proof there is always someone out there for you if you truely want it.

I’m proud to be be a farmer, I’m proud to be a livestock producer, I hate that we are portrayed as evil at times. The time, energy and money that goes into it.. at the end of the day people not even in the industry or stepped foot on a farm could ruin it for us.

Hey Ag, let’s rip Live Export from your hands, let’s throw a 10% levy at you for bio security and hey if you run a truck as a sideline business or at all, let’s have a crack at that to. Who ever ticked Labour… well Fuckn done. Ffs 🤦🏻♂️

Sheep boat was held up 1 month 0.4% mortality
Average cruise ship 3500 people, 200 people die on them a year.. 200 divide by 12months =16.66 … 0.47% mortality on a cruise ship / month. I spend to much time on the dunny 😂

I would like to apologise for my couple of outbursts the last week. I like many are feeling the pressure at the moment plus a bit of personal stuff. Finding it hard living, working, running the farm on my own without the support network to bounce things off. I’ll get there. 👍

The harsh reality of what we are up against. Not only the slaughtering of the sheep, but the massive mental health toll on the producer
But it would seem MH isnt even on
@MurrayWatt
radar either.
It is such very hard times for sheep farmers in Western Australia. It's been a very teary day for me. Started organising a neighbour to dig a pit big enough to put 3,000+ sheep in. This video shows our beautiful lambs. I can't cope with the thought of shooting them. No buyers.

I just hope it doesnt push anyone to the edge and they recognise the signs they need support before its to late. Hang in there, Aus farmers are some of the most resilient people around. Unlike cowards behind keyboards.

Anyone else have days when even after all the curve balls and negativity towards Ag, dealing with debt, balancing work/life, seasonal issues, all of which drag us down.. you realise there’s nothing else you’d rather do!

Had a Perth person today say “no export means lamb should be cheaper in the shops” no no no, if there was a time for lamb to be cheap its because we are getting payed stuff all for it. Less sheep = less meat means it will actually be in short supply and rise.. (well in the shops)
